Thanks again for the game, it's fun to play. But there's a catch. It's the part with the princess and, damn, the inability to leave the location.I just don't know what to do, and to make matters worse, I had problems with my email so I couldn't write to you. It was annoying. So, there are three problems. I can't leave the locations while playing as the princess, I can't get back to the castle. And finally, what is that room on the left? When we leave the bathroom, I can't go in. And the fourth. The invisible king and queen. I don't know if this is a bug or if I broke the walkthrough.
Let's see... I think you may have mentioned on X that you were stuck when you get back to Robin's house? To move to the next step there's just one crate in the lower right side of his room that you need to "check" to progress. I probably need to make that a bit more obvious in the next update.
It's quite possible that you have run into a bug somewhere. Would be great if you could send me a screenshot of some of these issues either on X messenger, email (zimogu@proton.me), or just post it here and I'll patch it asap.
As for some of the other issues, overall, you play as the princess for a very brief period of time and you have a very specific task to do [don't want to spoil it in the comments here]. Re: the room on the left, that's the princess' parents room and she's very opposed to going in there uninvited! All you need to do when playing as the princess is walk upstairs and game should progress.
As for the invisible king and queen, I'm pretty sure that they've been set to "disappear" when you come back downstairs on the way to the basement. Actually they are technically "away" for a brief period of time and should be seen again later in another scene (though you are escaping from the castle at that point and have no need to talk to them).
Thanks. I hope it helps. Well, here's what I did. I used a shrink spell on her. I went down and talked to the king. I went up and searched the area where Robin was. And then to the basement, and from there through the passage. As I said.
I sent you an email from a different email address. I hope I get a reply. Because I still haven't finished it. I'm still stuck and can't start the game anymore. I'm already burning out about it. I don't want to...
I discovered that when playing as the princess, I can't enter a cool room where I can't go anywhere.And the king and queen are invisible. Like, they're not there at all. You can't see them. Is this a bug?
Just understand, it's really frustrating. Either it's a bug, or I missed something before descending into the dungeon and exiting the castle. As soon as I enter the area as the princess, I can't proceed further. Sorry if I'm bothering you.
Anyone know what i'm supposed to do after reaching the women passed the 2 guards after climbing the vine? I can't seem to figure out which way to go as i can't go forward towards the castle
oh, and one small question which i will try to keep not spoilery because it would take me some time to replay the game to test this. if i make the baker mad and after the event happens where im solo and can go there...does that change the time im there, after speaking to the wizard guy and all that happens...i hope that makes sense, i dont wanna spoil anything but i assume they wont be happy if they find me like that there so i wanted to check if i should test that out
Makes sense. I'm glad you found that out. You can only talk to the baker later if you don't make the baker mad. But you've given me a good idea for a later update...
oh my god the game lives!!! great to see you back man! ive been looking forward to this for a long time and was worried the game was not being worked on any more, but im glad to see the game is now out. What are the plans for the future with robins tale now being finished :D
Again, so glad for your continued support and patience. There are definitely more games in the works but I need to learn a bit more about efficient game-making to get through two of them.
If you play all the way through Robin's Tale there is a hint as to one of the future games...
sorry to say that the dev has been quiet for like 9 months now so i dont think any updates are coming soon, ive been keeping an eye on this game for a while and am hoping for the big release but with no info its hard to tell whats going on.
Thanks for your continued support. Just had the "big release," but it's download-only, which I guess isn't ideal for some people. Hope it works and hope you all enjoy~
i gotta ask as its been a long long while now, ive loved this game for a bit and keep checking but, is this game still going to be a thing or is it fully dead? i dont want to assume anything but it has been like 8 months since the last dev message and i wanted to check in and see if everything was still okay :D
Hello again, just checking in again as i do love the game a lot and was wondering when the full game may be out or how the progress was going as the game has been very fun so far :D
[Poor path] After trying many different ways, I finally reached a shrinking scene. But after that I couldn't go anywhere. I was stuck with several bushes and one flower and couldn't go anywhere. Or does it just end here?
Good game! I had no real issues with either the Poor or the Rich side of the game. 1 minor bug is you can activate a scene for the princess in the wizard shop by interacting with the dresser on the left side of the shop. Nothing major just wanted to point out to help.
Hay, just saw the game and started playing from the poor route, im loving it so far, just defeated the boss at the bottom of the...area, not gonna spoil it, but then i found a way to get to where i need to go for materials, but they cost a ton of money which i had to spend on gear for the boss, i have no idea how i am meant to get it and keep going as none of the enemies respawn to grind and the bandits were the only ones to drop money, ill keep looking for now, but man, the game is a ton of fun so far :D
Thanks for playing! I'll be sure to keep this in mind for the full game.
Remember that the poor version of Robin is a thief and can steal from some shop owners. You can make some money this way after a certain point in the game. Maybe I should expand this mechanic more in the final version...
to add on to this, if you fail at robbing them and get caught, you can’t enter their shops or rob them again. So…depending on how events go, you might be just softlocked for a point where you need money for “special items” (you know what I’m talking about).
Maybe you could add in an option to steal said “special items”, which could cause issues for the player later in the game if they decide to steal rather than pay for the items?
Heya! Just a couple bugs I encountered. If you choose the rich lifestyle, in the beginning dialogue with the butler, if you go through it too fast, the game bugs out and wont progress (I assume this is because of a trigger that's supposed to happen when he runs back to you after walking away and calling you hard-headed). If you wait though it works just fine.
Also, as a noble when talking to the banker, I'm just softlocked. The first time I talked to him all he said was "Do be careful with what you find back there. Those are people's life savings", and nothing besides that. Not entirely sure what I did here to bug it out, as I progressed through the game normally up to this point.
As a side thing, idk if it's gonna be like this for the rest of the game/the full game, but the rich path seems remarkably easier. I'm genuinely unsure if it's even possible to win the second fight as the poor path, let alone the whole section there, as healing so far is incredibly scarce, and it feels like I do less damage and take more. Ofc, this could all be purposeful, but still a lil curious about it.
*Edit:* So, I found out my issue was that I was clicking on the NPCs and such to talk to them instead of pressing the interact button. Which also led me to not realize you could sleep in the inn...Which makes the poor path much easier now that I'm able to heal...Whoops!
Btw, I'm looking forward to seeing how this game goes! It's cool that you can do sort of "unmarked" side quests, and I'm curious as to how it'll change things as a whole.
Thanks for giving it a try! Really appreciate you for point out those bugs-- I'll be sure to clean them up in the full game.
As for the difficulty difference... yes it's intentional. The poor path should be harder in the beginning, but easier after the "mid-point" of the game (don't want to spoil it in the comments), since the characters don't have good armor/weapons and a limited amount of money. On the other hand, the rich path should be the opposite: easier in the beginning and harder in the second half. However, neither one should be impossible, so maybe I need to tone down the poor path more in the final version.
To add on to what I said, I didn’t realize there was a way to rest/heal as the poor path at first (because I was clicking to interact rather than hitting the interact key). Of course, knowing this now, it made the beginning portion of the game much more manageable, still difficult, but not nigh impossible as I originally thought it was.
I'm really looking forward to how this game turns out, and I’m excited to see how the rest of the game turns out, and how the branching paths will change how things go in the story! (Also, personally I’m a huge fan of seeing what game overs/scenes I can find, so I’m looking forward to seeing what ya have planned!)

Hello again. I hope I'm not bothering you. Did you find the bug I mentioned in my emails?
Well, of course, a couple more messages))

Hope some of that helps. Feel free to reach out.

If so, how to fix it?

Anyone know what i'm supposed to do after reaching the women passed the 2 guards after climbing the vine? I can't seem to figure out which way to go as i can't go forward towards the castle
I'm the same.
Also, when I was talking to the guard at the end of the way, my game froze.
Not easy to find, but you need to check the flower coming over the cliff.
Does anyone know how many endings there are in the merchant route? I've gotten 3 endings so far. (4 if dying counts as an ending)
I think I remember making 3 variations of a "good ending" and 2 "bad endings" for each character. (Getting game over isn't really an ending here)
OMFGGGG FINAL GAME IS FINALLY HEREEEE AFTER DECADES OF WAITINGG😭😭😭

Heya! Quick small bug report here:
As the thief, if you interact with the egg seller multiple times, she gives infinite tea eggs.
Thanks for noting this. Will fix in the next update. For now, enjoy the infinite tea eggs~

Excited to see this update! Was about to go to sleep and got the notification, no way was I gonna sleep without trying the update first!
How are the bug fixing coming along? I'm very interested in playing the full versio
sorry to say that the dev has been quiet for like 9 months now so i dont think any updates are coming soon, ive been keeping an eye on this game for a while and am hoping for the big release but with no info its hard to tell whats going on.

Pretty nice demo but I wonder when the game will actually come out since it's been in debug for a while now?
You can heal if you sleep at the inn i think, talk to them over the counter, once you get into that loop it isnt so hard :D
i hope all is going well, just posting again to check on the progress, im still hype for the game :D

Same thing happend to me lol
