THE BIGGASS QUEST is fully released!


Hey, im Nob.

I just finished the game!! Its now fully avaiable to play.

It was pretty fun making it and i hope you have fun playing it aswell.

The process of making the game was very easy, but tiring. The bad thing about making a game without programming is that you are VERY limited on what you can do (specially RPG Maker XP). Not only the limitations, but also the lack of flexibility the engine offers. I had to edit each dialogue and each sound effect manually, one by one, REALLY time consuming.

But other than that, it was pretty easy, at least until the release (yesterday).

I had a HARD TIME trying to release the game properly. In the demo, i got the files of the source code from the game, deleted the RPGXP file and just published it. And the game was unplayable!! because it didn't came with the default RPG Maker XP Assets! (i didn't knew that before)

So in the release day, i tried publishing the first version of the release. Calling it "1.0". I published it, showed to everyone and my friend, Devianator, reported that he got the error "RTP-RGSS not found" (or something like that) and the game was unplayable. He helped me troubleshooting the game and everything, until i finally discovered how the publishing works.

Heres the problems with each release:

Release 1.0: A .zip file with "all" the game files, which was lacking the so called "RTP", which is the RPG Maker XP default assets.


Release "1.0.1": The same method as before, a .zip file, but this time i disabled the RTP, so theres no way of the game getting the RPGXP files!!


ACTUAL Release 1.0: This time i compressed the game files into a single .exe file! i thought it would work... but it still didn't include the RTP...


Release 1.0.1: Tried disabling the RTP once again, same thing as the old 1.0.1 release, but it was an .exe file instead.


Release 1.0.2: I thought that bringing my installed RTP folder into the game files would work, but the game couldn't find that folder!!! it was still searching for the RTP in the user's computer...


Release 1.0.3: After searching a lot about it, i finally discovered that the user must install the RTP by its own, and then i included the installator into the game, so now you gotta install the RTP first to play the game. But HEY!! it works now! the game is playable!




Welp, thats pretty much the challenge of publishing it. I probably was just ignorant about searching it up how to make it properly but now it works. You can now play the game! Have fun!
