- VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION -

As you may have noticed, the betas released after v3.33 is a complete overhaul and update to a ton of core mechanics, thus it is strongly suggested you restart the story or preferably begin a fresh, new playthrough to experience everything new if your save is from before the updated UI.

Currently, you can progress up until crossing River Checkpoint before reaching the end of the beta, which awards you with the Orb of Restoration, loading up old saves that takes place beyond this point will have a ton of graphical issues, so it's highly recommended not to.
But don't worry, keep those old saves secured because they will become compatible again once everything in the game has been updated, for the time being, the game is being progressively updated and additional betas will be released more frequently to let you continue.

If you are currently playing through the story and hasn't reached the end yet, while not wanting to restart, it's suggested to keep playing v3.33 as I'll leave the file available.

- IMPORTANT NOTES -

To reinstate what was mentioned in previous betas, this version of the game was made on a new computer, new OS and a new RPG Maker XP version I had to purchase from Steam. (Which adds a new file in the game folder)
I don't know for sure, but I think this file might be something that removes the need to download/install RPG Maker XP to play the game, which would make those steps in the manual redundant...but again, just assuming here!

It's only been a month, but here is the next beta anyway!
The core mechanics are being processed and you can currently reach River Checkpoint in the new build, meaning everything up until, and including, the High Lord Gathering arc can be finished in the updated style.

This also means there are far greater chances of graphical glitches, like the emoticon showing up incorrectly or staying on screen when it shouldn't.
Please report these either on the Discord server, the comments below, or message me personally, as some of these issues would be very hard for me to find on my own.
And as always, please check the Patch Notes for everything new with this release!

If you missed out on the previous versions, some major changes has been assigning sprinting to SHIFT/Z, which no longer requires anything, along with a "Quick-Menu" being accessed with the A button, except during "chases" or when the menu is disabled for story reasons.

Be sure unpack the game from the downloaded .ZIP file and to consult with the manual if it's your first time starting up!
The manual also list how to properly import saves between betas/episodes, if you've ever encountered an issue where the game acts like the new content hasn't been added.

And please report any oddities or glitches you may encounter in the comments below, or in the troubleshooting section of the LoQO Discord channel you should have access to.

Enjoy!

yeah its happening the emoticon showing up everywhere when open a message.

When i start the new game, the game crashes during the (gabeworks presents) cinematic. I can't start :/

GabeWork

What kind of error message do you get?

LightningAhead

I don't get any error message in my case, the blue fairy flies across the screen with the (gabeworks presents), and the fairy gets stuck mid-flight, everything freezes for 4 seconds, and then the game closes :(

GabeWork

Hmm...Maybe the game is prevented by a firewall from accessing the files? I can only assume it happens because her voice lines aren't allowed to be played. If it was an actual fault with the game itself, everyone should be getting the same error. Or maybe the ZIP file got corrupted during the download?

LightningAhead

I didn't try the previous beta, this is my first time trying the (updated) version of the original. I did not import old saves either. I will try re-downloading it again and will let you know :)

GabeWork

RPG Maker XP games can be finicky, Windows can randomly decide its suddenly a dangerous program and block it, even between different versions of the same game. (Blocking some but not others) If re-downloading didn't help, it surely is the firewall you need to bypass. The manual has some solutions, but you'll get better help if you join the Discord server by linking your account with your Patreon, and then you can ask directly in the troubleshooting section there for the community to help out. :)

Tried re-downloading it and giving it a pass through the fire wall. I also even tried to play with the animation sequence inside the files, it seems the animation is not to blame, as any image will stop at exactly the same moment of the opening music. I tried to import an existing save from previous version, and using the orb of restoration, but the game keeps crashing after the first sentence spoken by Laquadia at the Church D:

GabeWork

That is really bizarre...I don't know what to tell you, or what could be causing it. D:

LightningAhead

I fixed it! it was on my end, there was a lack of msmpeg2ac3dec.dll that I had to fix. Works now. The game looks renewed and nice! I only stumbled on one problem that Captain Gallus's Character portrait stays on screen permamently after talking to her at the Port.

GabeWork

I have no freaking idea what that is or how you figured out that is what was missing, but glad you solved it nevertheless! :D And I will fix that bug, easy quick-fix is to open the Art Gallery or the Encyclopedia.

Hello Gabe i just subbed like 40 minutes ago and i just want to say even if iv only seen the first scene with the high priestess i think you should focus your effort on the middle cg choice the choice that is not complete yet, its not that the others are bad, its just that if avatar(the dialog head cg) don't match cg art and avatar and cgs look like completely different persons, i personally feel a game is better when the character you see over the dialog box and the character in the cg art scenes look like the same person it keeps the characters attached to the actual art and a better experience overall and the head arts used for the dialogs look really good and the uncompleted gallery was the one that looked the most matching the avatar this time was a donation but ill do it again if i get into the game

GabeWork

That artist is in the process of being replaced since a year back, but I will only implement the replacement once he has covered enough CG scenes to make the transition smoother. The reason is because the original artist vanished and I've been unable to reach him for two years.
