Zefii - A Transcendent Journey [Romance/Adventure] UPDATE!

#1 Post by animedaisuki »

First, please accept my apology for the delay of the release. It was not easy to make a game with so little resources. If I had time, I would go back and fix all the earlier drawings. And, if I could go back in time, I would have taken some CS classes in college. There may be some bugs. If you can't proceed, I highly suggest you to take a look at the FAQ page on our website. Also, unfortunately, I have a lot of work right now, so please note that I only check my private messages and posts once a week. That said, don't hesitate to write your thoughts or send me private messages if you are stuck or you encountered a bug or error in the game. I will fix those in the full version of the game. Thank you!

I have fixed the bugs that players have told me in the past day. New download link is available on the website now. Enjoy!

I recommend you to play it in full screen. Some of the objects may be hard to see when you play it in a small window.

Important
Some people have reported to me that the instructions are not very clear when you run out of energy. When it says "you need to wait for 60 minutes" after you failed to solve the puzzle, you can either restart the game, or leave the game window in the background and go back to it after 60 minutes.

A Note on the Puzzles
So you hate waiting for 60 minutes to continue the game, and you hate starting all over again just because you ran out of energy. What should you do? Solve the puzzles! Some people have told me that the puzzles are too hard. I have updated all the hints. All puzzles should be solvable now.

Walkthrough
The official walkthrough of the game will begin to be uploaded onto the game site starting this weekend. Please understand that I am currently at a law school, so I will not be able to write up the entire walkthrough in one weekend. In general, a new part of the walkthrough will be uploaded each week. The walkthrough will include the locations of all the hidden items, hints, as well as strategies to reach all 6 different endings.

The complete walkthrough is now available on the game website!

Ok just uploaded my game on the official renpy game site. the link is on the game website now (just go to the download page). however, the screenshots on the renpy site are somehow messed up? i put 3 screenshots there and only 1 turned out to be from my game, the other 2 somehow ended up as some random game screenshots...

Hmm, ended with an error when I tried to leave my bedroom

While running game code:
File "game/script.rpy", line 1419, in script
IOError: Couldn't find file 'underground palace.wav.'.

Also noticed other strange things
like you can take the book from the bookcase over and over again or when you find a gemstone next time you come to the location you have to click the same spot to get "there is nothing here" message, only then you can leave. Not mentioning that spots you have to click are really random - took me forever to follow Reika into the bedroom

also, this is not a typical visual novel. you have to click on certain images to proceed sometimes.

Okay, my bad! When I suggested you to upload as an attachment I wasn't expecting your game to be that large.
