    Got the Dexplorer program running. Need some opinions.

    It's been about three weeks since I have touched RPG Maker since the dexplorer program wasn't running on my PC. Now, all is back to normal. Since the program wasn't running on my computer, I did not dare to work on Monkey Brothers (which another demo was suppose to have come out by now). And now that I have possibly no chance in entering Monkey Brothers in the contest, I was thinking of entering Patrick's Journey and maybe fixing some bugs. What do you guys think I should do? Here, let me elaborate:

    If I choose to work on Patrick's Journey and fix the errors, I will have to delay the Monkey Brothers demo yet again. Errors I would plan to fix for Patrick's Journey would most possibly be: grammer errors, crappy puzzles, and maybe even make sidequests a bit better. But, even if I fix the game, I will not change the lame-crap-kiddy storyline (which I've heard it was crap before by many people). It was intentionally meant to be bad (or at least meant to be for kids). That is what I like about the game. If I submit this game to the contest, do you think I have a chance? Or, at least, do you think it'd be for the better?

    However, if I work on Monkey Brothers, I can still submit Patrick's Journey, but it won't be that good. I think Monkey Brothers will be a much better game than Patrick's Journey was. And the finished product just might come out quite nicely (sorry if it sounds like I'm sounding self-centered). If I work some more on this game, there just might be a chance that another demo will come out near the end of this month and will be something I'd be much proud to hear people's feedback. The demo will in fact include the actual gameplay.

    Anyway, again, do you think I should work on Monkey Brothers and submit Patrick's Journey to the contest as it is? Or, do you think I should fix all of the errors in Patrick's Journey, submit it to the contest, and then work on Monkey Brothers regardless if the next demo is delayed? I don't want to waste time working on Patrick's Journey. Nor do I want to miss out on the contest. Post your opinions here. But until I get responses, I'm going to work on Monkey Brothers for awhile.

    If Patrick's Journey is your only chance in the contest, I say work on it. Monkey Brothers is good, but it can wait for 10 days. You said you don't want to work on PJ, though, so it is really your choice.

      I say fix a few things on Patrick's Journey. I did the same with my own game long after its release, and I'm glad I did (even though I recently found a few other bugs I missed; for example, I missed using a word in every single instance a certain sentence is used). Which reminds me. I should probably fix that and send an updated version.

        You think I should work on Patrick's Journey? Well, I already have. I've got 1/3 of the first scenario fixed. I decided to change some of the writing and started to make some adjustments because if I didn't, you'd probably would have to go into the mind of Patrick to understand how the plot runs. So, yeah, I know I said I wouldn't fix it, but at least now the story makes SENSE and flows like it should.

        The only thing I'm afraid of is being able to finish it on time of the contest.

          Oh, man, I just finished the 3rd scenario. I got to say that is the worst and the most uninnovative part of the entire game. I was down to 3 points of memory when I was fixing this (I had 1000 left when I started to modify the game), can you believe it? Yeah, I was going to add some more to a dungeon, but I couldn't (not enough memory!).

          Fortunately, I was at least able to fix some of the worst puzzles in the game. They are difficult and take a lot of effort in completing still, but at least you are able to tell slightly what to do instead of just guessing and doing the whole trial and error thing as Czechs brought to my attention.

          I'm going to test play the game to see if everything is running properly. But yeah, I as the creator, must say that the 3rd scenario is the major downside of the game. Everything else about the game is pretty good. There still might some tiny bugs, but all is well. Until then, wish me good luck!

                        Alright, it's out now. The improved Patrick's Journey. I'll be making a new topic for Patrick's Journey soon so DON'T post any comments that regard Patrick's Journey here.

                        To Valk: Nevermind, I'll just make that topic.
