Posted December 21, 2015 Today's task was mildly annoying, I completely forgot until like 6 pm so I had to rush and finish it. I think I went through 10 cats and a few crashes before I found Buffy. I choose to give the cat back because I wouldn't feel right keeping it. Don't worry about missing a day. All the days must be played sequentially, so even if you're too busy for 2-3 days in a row you can still complete those missed days! Don't feel rushed, we don't want anyone to make any choices they might regret later. :3 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 I broke something. Is that supposed to be broken? The trinket thing? I broke that too. It probably forces you to break it, and the 'naughty or nice' choice is whether to blame the magelight or not. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 Today's event looks promising. Where did that "Magelight and beans" joke come from, anyway? The magelight release, mainly to do with users (me and ADP, if I remember correctly) asking if miners would use them for light in the tunnels. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 Ok, for those who want to know, this is what you do: (highlight to see) First you talk to the courier boy. He gives you some oil, a bag of beans, and a magelight pygmy. You need to take them west to the mining camp. Go west and north til you come to the bridge. You can't take all them over at the same time, so take over the pygmy first, then go get the beans. Once you cross with the beans, take the pygmy back over the bridge, drop him, and get the oil, take that over. Then come back and again take the pygmy over the bridge. You will then automatically pick them all up and go into the mining cabin. The miner will take the beans and oil into the next room to store. You go to the center table, and break the object on it. When the miner comes back you admit it was you, not the pygmy who broke. He thanks you for being honest. Voila, you are done. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 Oooooh, how delightful! I have a little dragon friend to follow me. Aw, I wish I could keep him. :'( Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) My entire game was reset and now I need to do the first two days again. :s I had to enter a name and pick a color again. Was there a glitch/oversight fix that could have caused it, or is this just horrible, horrible luck? Edited December 21, 2015 by 11th Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 What was the joke with the beans?? D: I tried to move the beans first, because I thought it was a logic puzzle like the dog / goat / hay one (or however that question went), and I thought he'd eat the beans if I left him with 'em--so I only got the "he might burn the oil" warning. :'c Also Quark is TOO CUTE. I felt really bad about making him fly in that cold weather, honestly--I'd have tucked him in my parka hood if I could've! Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 I went with the naughty choice today, and my tree is back to being all droopy *admit nothing* (It was beginning to look so healthy after the cat business too...) Quark is soo cute though! Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 Finished day 3 and back home but I did explore a little before going across the bridge and Quark caused me to be stuck once out of bounds (he pushed me and then blocked my way to get back - naughty imp) and I had to reset. After that I decided to get to the mining camp and explore once day 3 was complete so I didn't have to start over again. Share this post Link to post

Posted December 21, 2015 I also can't access the event? I have the black screen, if it's any help to people I had to close the tab out one the first day, just as I was starting it. I just picked my favorite color, bounced for a bit, came back on, and viola! A beautiful black screen shining with holiday mirth Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 Oh so thats why my tree was droopy at first i accidentally double hit space so i selected something selfish i think for the tree choosing... Share this post Link to post

Posted December 21, 2015 That was a fun little game! I wondered if it would be like the little logic puzzle about crossing in a boat and having to keep things separate. Now to go explore. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 I can't actually play the game until tomorrow (It's still the 20th for me) when I'll have access to a laptop with a better connection than the old desktop/dial-up so I'll have a bit of catching up to do but thank you game creators/organizers for letting us be able to go through everything even if we miss a day or two. ^-^ Some of you wanted to take home all the stray cats but can I please give the Magelight a home?? <3 He'll have lots and lots of new friends to play and orchestrate bean-related hi-jinx with! :3 Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 The Magelights and Beans Joke has been going on for awhile. We've been seeing doodles and chortling over the hijinks of Magelights in Tab's Original Works under Multimedia in General Discussion if you want pics.... Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 Had a bit of trouble when I went the wrong direction-- page wouldn't load North. A quick reset fixed it, though! Quark is making me want to hoard Magelights now... Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 RONIN was invisible, found him by chance. Not a bad attempt at a badge gimmick, but it'd be nice if the mods could test things like this early, sort of a beta testing deal, in secret. Also, add a run option next time please. Share this post Link to post

Posted December 21, 2015 loved the bridge teaser. it reminded me so much of the classic one with the wolf, goose, and grain with the river/ boat. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 21, 2015 Oh yeah, and I was able to walk out of the house when you're supposed to water the tree. Also, I'm assuming that exchange is supposed to start when you're already in the house? Share this post Link to post

Actually, I have, a few times. Once with pure Java and a couple times with Game Maker 8. The Java one was complete crap. I know it takes work to make a good game, and every game starts out as crap, but that's why a game needs to be tested, so it's as good as it can possibly be when people get their hands on it. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying there could be some improvements for next season if you use this game as a base for the next project. Share this post Link to post
