Learning Curve

Clock works now, but IMO it kind of breaks the game: For example you can now train mana control in your home before you get it to level 5. You can also train it more often (Church only opens at 10 or 11, but you can use the clock to train it already at 1).

IMO it would make more sense to use the clock in a different way: Allow to select a single action of the current location (only actions that you‘re allowed to do and which can be repeated) and repeat that one until the dragon arrives.

Example: At the blacksmith (once you‘re allowed to use the workspace) allow to repeat either „practice blacksmithing“ or „work on order“. When you do that at 11, you will automatically repeat that action until 15 (eg 4 times) when the dragon arrives.

At your home allow „train alchemy“ (if you have access to emmy‘s room), „create burn salve“ (once you‘re proficient)….

one mor Bug: When you leave the cave it‘s not possible to enter again because the Guard stands in the way: He still says the same sentence, but stays in place (contrary to the first time you enter where he moves away)

will progress save between versions

so annoying how i finnaly killed empire general and theres no content beyond it like im level 21 now axe mastery 90 i cant even level up blacksmithing no more then 61

How do you get permission to enter Emmy's room? only managed by lying to Mrs. Harris

Is the download link right? I am just being paranoid and don’t want to download malware of something of the like

Little bug, if you chop down that starting tree while it's falling, pieces hit you, yet you survive, the scene continues, but after Graham says they have to take the log to the pile next to the office, the "Alright it's coming down..." scene happens again, meaning you can keep chopping the falling tree infinitely and can't really progress if you don't have enough evasion for the dodge option or the "brace yourself" options kills you

On which game versions is regen bugged where you can't get it? I'm on 0.1.5d and I am pretty sure I have all the requirements but I haven't gotten it yet.

When you go swimming in the forest you just keep on leveling up till expert/lv50 I dont believe this is intended

also seems like you can still equip the amour without being adventurer if apprentice blacksmith but not journeyman and if journeyman you can equip the axe

So, I think things are great so far, however I have been trying to figure out if Mana Control actually does anything yet, and would appreciate it if someone who has figured out more could answer that question...

Some notes about version 0.1.5d to the point I've currently played to.

These are more so about QoL, so I would recommend giving these more priority if possible:

- Like othe people suggested, add a way to do an action x number of times.

- A better way to view all skills at once, organized and categorized in a window maybe instead of the current one by one method, if it's possible of course, don't know much about how rpgmaker works.

These will be simply about cohesion, nothing major, I'll understand if trying to addall these branches takes time better applyied to other things or breaks some of the game's logic, a lot of these will also be me being nitpicky as hell lol:

- Check if fishing skill is present when the vision with his father happens, as currently even if you have it, Graham says he never ended up getting it, also keep track of fishing in the status as it's currently not showing.

- At the start, if you try to enter the office, Old Man Harris blocks you when he's at home and Mrs. Harris blocks you later which gives you the option to lie to her, on which if you fail, she says she's been there all morning and didn't hear him give you permission, but ever since you first got permission from him, she auto believes you and he also doesn't block you again even in next loops, which kinda contradicts the state they operate prior to that, making it seem this permission is transferring from loop to loop.

It also has the effect of blocking deception training there, currently not a problem since you can do so in the Emmy's room, but could potentionally block off deception training altogether if her room receives permanent access as well and there's no other ways of training it.

A way to make this work is adding a switch that resets on every loop, indicating whether you've gotten permission or not yet, or simply resetting the current switch it probably already has every time. Letting you enter normally if true or triggering the lie option if not, which leaves the success to a deception check.

Maybe this was done deliberately to avoid having to ask permission every time tho, which is fair. We can simply apply the logic that Graham asks permission without we seeing every time from then on, there's no problem with abstracting some things, but it would be better to make a decision on whether you want most things to reset, or if you'll follow an abstraction route when you can.

- At some point he starts to tell the old guy he already knows mighty chop and what he has to do when you enter the scene, but if you talk to him the dialogue where he tries to teach you it happens anyway. Maybe you can simply enable the mighty chop training by dafault from there on out and have him tell you something like "you know it already? cool, you can train in the stump next to me if you want", something to that effect.

After all the nagging, let me just say thank you and keep up the good work, you've no idea how excited I was when I this game recommended in the author's note. Been looking for a game like this ever since I started reading the novel. 

I am curious, how do I obtain the Regen which was mentioned here a couple of times?

Can someone throw me a hint or two?

I've been playing for a bit on 0.1.5d and I have a bug where I can't equip armor or shields even though I can make them. They show up when I look in my items menu but when I go to equip them they aren't there.

I'm also stuck at the apprentice in lumber jack and axe issue. My lumber jack is 25 and my axe mastery is around 45 but I sill can't select the I'm there dialogue so I can get the quest for the better trees

I am playing at 1.5d and I found four bugs so far.

1: When I use the Mighty Chop on the cursed tree, I get stuck in a loop where it keeps falling on me again and again (Only if I use Cut 4 times intestead can I progress)

2: Mr. Banning is asking me to get Apprentice in both Lumberjack and Axe Mastery, I am currently Journeyman with both yet the dialoge is greyed out.

3: Despite the bug #2, I can enter the north wood via the grass tile next to the road. (If I try walking on the road, it says the area is too dangerous and I can't enter)

4: Since reaching Apprentice in Woodcutting, if I talk to the trainer after deciding to tell the truth/lie, and I select the first dialoge option, I will be able to repeatadly select the first dialog without moving the conversation forward. (If I pick I can do more, or I can craft my own shield, I can continue without issues)

Any idea why this page is quarantined?

hey i think there's a bug when you chop the cursed tree, i managed to survive but i m actually stuck in the event because it restart the fall instantly

the sequence is like that: i mighty chop, i chop when it fall, i survive, i talk, then i have to chop it again, i talk, then i have to chop it, ....

edit: by the way, after i went journeyman on several skills, the clearwood blacksmith or the mine started to lag while some other area like the shield making area are not.

There's a bug that when you listen to the conversation in the lumberjack house it doesn't progress time or skills.

I like the skill grinder references. As to the game itself, it has a lot of promise.

Not a huge fan of dragon/empire coming at turn 15, would recommend 20 to increase viability of grinding wood maker and mana control skills. I do appreciate not needing crystal ball past lvl 5 though.

I think axe mastery has been discussed enough.

My main issue was after beating dragon for the first time the game took me to my last save after the following fight losing me a significant amount of progress.

Otherwise, I appreciate the mechanics of the game. I assume spells are coming in a future update?

I have a suggestions here to make the grind less button spammy. Maybe you can make it so when you press [Shift + Enter/Space] a slider would appear to chose how many hours you want to spend grinding. I know the point of the game is to grind and I'm for it, but spamming enter/space is kinda annoying tbh. If you added that slider, you can just do how every many hours you want all at once.

Something else, Fire Resetence is either bugged or scuffed. because even after I reached jeurnyman in it, the burn status effect still applied and still does the same amount of damage (around 30-40) despite the fire attack doing zero damage. You should make it so that if the fire breath attack does Null damage, then it shouldn't be able to apply burn. And you should also make it (fire resetence) lessen the amount of damage burn does or something like that. Currently, the only way I could myself defeating the great Kobold is to get woodworking to 25, maybe get blacksmithing to 50 as well, and just level up a lot , hope I don't encounter a lot of kobolds on the way, and one shot the damn thing before the ludicrous burn kills me

Also, pseudo-bug I found is if you tried to entire Harris' room he will scream at you even if he's in his shop. Is he able to telepathically sense you attempting to enter then scream into your mind or something?

First of all, why does Axe Mastery refuse to level up? I fought kobolds and the dragon with axes (both the lumberjack one and the battle axe) yet it refused to level. I've cut down the tree and trained Mighty Chomp to the point I reached level 50 in lumber jacking yet Axe mastery never leveled up once.

I think I also did a sequence break. I leveled my perception enough to overhear the convo between the green haired kid and (if I'm not wrong) foreman Tylor. Which means everytime I interact with the door Tylor Graham says he wants to cut Mahar tree (which is impossible because that quest requires level 10 axe mastery, the only skill that never levels up)/

After leveling up my evasion and evading the falling tree, I move the long then Simon tells me to go talk with Tylor. I go to the door, and it starts the dialogue for the Mahar tree, Unless Tylor is the bald guy, in that case then when I go to him he just repeats the thing about leveling lumberjacking to increase the damage of mighty chomp/

is it possible to make the game fullscreen? right now it takes up maybe a 4 inch by 4 inch area on my screen so its almost impossible to play

For some reason in LearningCurve_015b.exe I can't equip good quality armor or a shield.  

anyone know why this page is quarantined and when i try to launch my pc stops it?

When attacking it shows NULL a lot of times. Maybe you needed to show 0?

When we talk with the guy inside the house to go get books from his office, the lady says it is not your room when I am going out of the room instead of when I am going in.

It would be good if we could check skills from the menu instead of only our room. There is the skills menu but it only lists combat skills for now. Checking skills when they show up one by one in our room is kinda annoying. Better to just use the menu to check it.

Yo! Based Skill Grinder fan, nice. Honestly this scratches a really nice itch as a game.

Smol bug - you can speak to the guard at the kobold cave multiple times and he kinda just phases into the wall

Edit: you should make a discord or something if you're feeling like gathering a community! I think a lot of RR and maybe Scribblehub would enjoy it :)

Seems like Axe Mastery is bugged. Got Lumberjacking to 45, but nothing seems to increase Axe Mastery. Attacking, using Mighty Chop, using Chop on the tree, using Mighty Chop on the tree, cutting logs into usable size for the old man, nothing. Messing around with Cheat Engine, it seems like the experience for Axe Mastery is tracked, but whatever's supposed to actually level it up just doesn't run.
