Reviews for TDR RPG: The Quest for Xirang

[klappspaten]

I really enjoyed playing this. Thank you for the glossary and putting in so much background info. Chinese mythology is highly fascinating.

When I played for the first time yesterday I, somehow, ran into a bug. The Triad guy in the City of Fengdu wouldn't talk to me, so when it was time to save the guard's mother I had nowhere to go. I gave up eventually and spent the rest of the evening wikipedia'ing my way through Chinese history, Asian mythology and Cantonese profanity xD.

So today I came back and gave it another try. Had to start over because trying to save my progress returns a 'SecurityError: The operation is insecure'-message. JS is activated, so I guess it's cookie-related. This time I was able to purchase the boat and finish the game :). However I wasn't able to achieve the Guilinggao-maker secret medal although I killed 100 turtles in the flooded town, twice, yes, I counted.

I didn't mind reading through all the text because it was highly informative to me, and where it was not (some of the combat text) it was still funny to read. I also think the grinding-factor was quite ok.

I'm so looking forward to episode 2. Hope we won't have to wait for too long. So here take my stars, they aren't worth anything but at least they are shiny :D.

Thanks for the review, score and bug reports! I'm so glad it interested you in Chinese mythology. This is something that I really wanted to happen!

I'm aware of the bug regarding the turtle medal, and I'm (still) looking through my code to try to fix it - this is the third time someone's reported it. I know I'll be able to fix it eventually... As for the shady guy in Fengdu, it *might* be that you didn't have $500 with you at the time. If not, then it was a bug... I'll try to fix it, but I'd need more information concerning it first. :)

A friend of mine got the save error too. I'm guessing it's related to how the browser treats HTML web storage, which I used instead of cookies.

All in all, thanks for the review and the score! I hope the wait won't be too long - it will be at least a year, but I hope not more than two. :)

Pretty cool story and funny to play. You put effort getting the facts and stuff and I enjoyed it because I like to learn new things. I'll be waiting for episode 2 to get to see the new stuff you are going to add to the gameplay.

FlyingColours responds:

Thanks for the review and the score! It's great to see people like it!

Only one thing, the settings menu seems bugged, I put music at the lowest possible, but everytime I get to a new region, the music comes back (even though the menu didn't change and the setting is still at its lowest). I need to go back to the menu and touch the settings for the music and FX to be muted again.

Aside than that, great game!

FlyingColours responds:

Thanks for the review and score! Sorry about the bug; I must have made the music system too hastily. I'll try to fix it when I'm back home tonight. Thanks for reporting the bug!

Edit: Fixed, thanks for reporting!

This was a fairly original game. I admit that it did get a little boring at times. I'm not really into RPGs. At least I got something out of it. The drawings are pretty well done. I didn't know that was my health at first.

It seems like a game that's fairly kind to you. The sounds are nice. It's raining a lot where I am right now! For a game about a flood, it's surprisingly calm. I would recommend it.

FlyingColours responds:

Thanks for the review and score! The drawings are photoshopped from actual images, haha. I'm glad that you liked it and that you're still reviewing prolifically! You should get a 'Reviewer's Award' or something :P

Amazing game! Which level do I have to be able to fight against the guard in the far west in the City of Fengdu? And how can I get the first secret medal? I got all other medals, even the second secret medal, but now I want to get the Guilinggao Maker medal too. Care to share a hint?

FlyingColours responds:

Thanks for the review and score! The guard is for the next episode, actually. The first secret medal is for killing 100 times one of the enemies in the flooded town. If you read all the combat descriptions, you should be able to figure out what guilinggao is, and that will tell you how to get the medal. Good luck!
