LATEST PATCH UPDATE: 3/25/15

Lain's Horrible Adventure (formerly known as Lain's Shitty Game) is a novelty action RPG I have been working for over a year now using RPG Maker VX. It revolves around my character Lain Claes and her experiences in whatever the fuck I come up with at the time. This is the 3.0 release! This demo starts from the beginning and proceeds beyond the previous release all the way to the end of chapter 6.

Please note that save files from 2.1 or older LHA demos are not compatible with 3.0 and ongoing. To remedy that, I've included a save in the 4th slot that starts you at the end of demo 2.1 and the beginning of chapter 5.

This post is both a preview and a chance for all of you to help me debug it. Anyone who finds and reports a real glitch or error will be have their names added to the "Debuggers" section of the credits! 2.1 and earlier debuggers are currently posted in the 3.0 credits. Please let me know if you don't want your username in the credits, or if your username is in the credits and you want it removed. (I'll make the change promptly, but of course any copies of the game downloaded prior will not be updated. )

Please keep in mind that the game is NOT RATED and would probably rate around T - M if the ESRB gave two shits and a fuck. Expect foul language and talk of violence and perversion. BY DOWNLOADING IT YOU CONSENT TO BEING SUBJECT TO THE MATURE CONTENT. And also flashing lights and stuff... Please note that the program I used to make it, RPG Maker VX by Enterbrain, is NOT compatible with Macs. For non-windows users, l0vot has provided some details for running this on a non-windows os. Thanks, l0vot!

It comes in a .zip compressed file that you must open with an extraction tool (like WinZip) or I think Windows 7 can just open it.

PLEASE READ THE "READ ME" FILE. IT WANTS TO BE READ AND MUST BE APPEASED.

(about 220 MB) (MATURE CONTENT WARNING)

POST ALL COMMENTS AND DEBUGS HERE ON THIS JOURNAL OR SEND ME A NOTE.
When posting errors or bugs, please look over the other posts on this journal to make sure it hasn't already been reported. We don't need any double-posts. Also indicate whether you started a new game or transferred your old Demo 1.0(or 2.0) save file.

Known Bugs:
- ✔ In a certain conversation, almost every line of dialogue from one character cuts off. This has been patched in the current demo now. (Found by KiannaTahkary.)
- ✔ During the first boss fight, there is a small chance Lain might get stuck facing a single direction. (Found by emeraldlizard.)
- ✔ The cows in Chapter 6 sound like sheep when they die. (Found by KrystleFairy12.)
- ✔ Lain looks the wrong direction during a rather important conversation with Luke. (Found by KrystleFairy12.)
- ✔ There's a gate that turns in a big pillar of wood when it opens. (Found by me while looking into a different bug found by KrystleFairy12.)
- ✔ Getting thrown into the castle dungeon after Chapter 6 causes an soft freeze dialog loop. This has been patched in the current demo now. (Found by KrystleFairy12.)
- ✔ Activating one of the benches beside the school's door from the side instead of from below traps Lain in the doorway and locks up the game. This has been patched in the current demo now. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ Activating a certain bookshelf causes it to turn into something strange. (Found by Zamboozle.)
- ✔ Some of Howes' dialogue rolls over pretty bad in chapter 4. Updated as of 11/17 (Lain's Birthday!) so re-download if you need to. (Found by Zamboozle.)
- ✔ The razor stops working after chapter 4's ending. This has been fixed in a 12/01 update. (Found by xXgoth-holicXx.)
- ✔ Getting on the bus with the knife out can cause the knife to remain equipped but be non-functional. Changing outfits fixes this. (Found by SerenaAveline.)
- ✔ Typo: History is misspelled as "histroy" in chapter 5. (Found by SerenaAveline.)
- ✔ (Well, probably ✔) You can take a step or two during a cutscene in chapter 5. This can cause Lain to face away and make the dialogue a bit silly (sillier). (Found by SerenaAveline.)
- ✔ The character Livvy is misnamed Kari at the prom for a minute. (Found by SerenaAveline.)
- ✔ Going back to the school's second floor after beating chapter 5 causes strange this to happen: duplicate swimsuits, Jenna suddenly spawning, teleportation, etc. (Found by SerenaAveline.)
- ✔ A rope appears in the storage room outside the hospital after beating chapter 5 if you choose to return. Don't climb it. It's not supposed to be there, and it basically traps you. (Found by SerenaAveline.)
- ✔ More overflow text from Howes, that sleazy bastard. Luckily, it was minor stuff this time (in the prom and the post-chapter 5 hospital) and not super important plot text. (Found by SerenaAveline.)
- ✔ Leaving during the prom accidentally ends the prom and makes it impossible(ish) to progress. Fixed in latest patch update. (Found by KrystleFairy12.)
- ✔ A door on the first floor of the Factory changes if you look at it from the wrong angle. (Found by xXgoth-holicXx.)
- ✔ There's a question mark that cuts off in Jenna's school dialogue. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- ✔ Fixed four text errors spread throughout the game. (Found by xXgoth-holicXx.)
- ✔ Howes' intro dialogue was still overflowing. Fixed and updated AGAIN. Hopefully that's all this time. (Found by xXgoth-holicXx.)
- ✔ Loading the Chapter 5 default save would stop the razor from working. Fixed and updated as of 02/25. (Found by Aloneness.)
- ✔ In chapter 6, the final room in the castle dungeon should have a plot-related event in it that's required to finish the game. Sometimes it's not there, apparently. If you have this issue, please redownload and copy/paste your save date to proceed. (Found by xxrazorleafxx.)
- ✔ The issue above was reported again, and hopefully fixed again, now, several months later. I promise I'm not dead. (Found by an anon wikia user.)
- ✔ Fixed spelling errors in the public center the town and the loose lock in the factory.(Found by SerenaAveline.)

Upcoming:
- Anything in the known bugs section with a ✔ before it!
- Updated (or partially updated) scene art in the new style to match the title screen!

Lain's Horrible Adventure (formerly known as Lain's Shitty Game) is a novelty action RPG I have been working for over a year now using RPG Maker VX. It revolves around my character Lain Claes and her experiences in whatever the fuck I come up with at the time. This is the 2.1 release! This demo starts from the beginning and proceeds just as far as Demo 2.0, the previous release, but with more bug fixes, features, and side quests.

This demo will also feature cheats, which I will release periodically on the official Lain's Horrible Adventure Facebook Page. The secret location to input the cheats will be revealed through a clue later this week.

This post is both a preview and a chance for all of you to help me debug it. Anyone who finds and reports a real glitch or error will be have their names added to the "Beta Testers" section of the credits and will have the opportunity to make a sprite and have it put into the game (if it's on par quality wise with the in game sprites. Not all sprites may be featured. Sending me a sprite doesn't guarantee I can use it.)

Please keep in mind that the game is NOT RATED and would probably rate around T - M if the ESRB gave two shits and a fuck. Expect foul language and talk of violence and perversion. BY DOWNLOADING IT YOU CONSENT TO BEING SUBJECT TO THE MATURE CONTENT. And also flashing lights and stuff ...Please note that the program I used to make it, RPG Maker VX by Enterbrain, is NOT compatible with Macs. So sorry, Mac users. I couldn't find a fix for this. If you're a Mac user, and would like to try to run it, please let me know if you succeed!

It comes in a .zip compressed file that you must open with an extraction tool, like WinZip, ExtractNow, or I think Windows 7 can just open it.

Known Bugs:
- ✔ Visual glitch on one of the trees in Chapter 3. It looks like it's cut in half. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ One of the tea sets in the Factory likes to act up when you activate it. I took that punk down. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ Lain totally thinks that a bed is some books and stuff on a table. Fixed, but she's not convinced. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ There's some stray blood on a 4.5 hallway that shouldn't have any blood on it. We cleaned it off. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ Another messed up tree in World 2. It looks like it's cut in half. I might now looking into a REAL Lumberjack who may or may not be effing with my programming. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ Typo in the town. Luke thinks "Arfraid" is a word. He meant "Afraid," I promise. (Found by wildblackroze06.)
- ✔ Typo in the Lumberjack's house. "Keys" should be the contraction, "key's." Fixed! (Reported by someone through our Facebook form.)
- ✔ During the zombie apocalypse, if you enter the ruined house, it keeps on raining. Now it doesn't. (Found by ChromosomeExcel in his Let's Play.)
- ✔ During the zombie apocalypse, there's a table blocking a path. If you talk to it from one side, the dialogue doesn't make sense. Fixed! (Found by ChromosomeExcel in his Let's Play.)
- ✔ A gated fence doesn't act right when approached from the side after opening the gate. Now you can't walk through it! All better. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ After defeating the first boss, going to the small novelty world map outside of the town can cause you to get stuck there. Forever. This has been thankfully fixed, but if it becomes a problem, then there might be a 2.2 bug fixer demo coming up soon.(Found by Bunnairry.)
- ✔ In world 4.5, the "Internal Chamber" according to the walkthrough, traveling to the right of the hole at the end of the room and then up along it can cause the game to freeze.(Found by NephilV hurr.)
- During the zombie apocalypse, there is a small chance the holy water might not work, even when visually in effect. We're still looking into this issue. (Reported by ProjectWesker.)
- ✔ When stabbing with the knife, if you go to the menu and unequip it mid-swing, then you end up with an invisible knife. This has come up more than once in some situations where the game removes the knife during a scene.(Found by NephilV.)
- ✔ A Heart Chunk under a rock is actually infinite heart chunks if you keep checking it. Not anymore! (Found by xXgoth-holicXx.)
- ✔ A typo during Howes' intro conversation. He says "those" twice in a row. (Found by xXgoth-holicXx.)
- ✔ There's a graphical error on one of the trees in the longest road in the game. Fixed. (Found by xXgoth-holicXx.)
- ✔ If you return to the hospital after you beat it, entering and exiting the building can cause it to become PERMA-NIGHT. (Found by xXgoth-holicXx.)
- ? Rarely, the knife still acts up and becomes invisible. It stabs even though Lain isn't holding it. Still working on preventing the few times it still happens. (Found by xXgoth-holicXx and others.)
- ✔ Leaving Dr. Howes' office at just the wrong time can get you stuck in the door thanks to the guard nurse. Fixed! (Found by KrystleFairy12.)
- ? Returning from the Chapter 3 area by raft can very rarely cause a glitch were Lain is left in the water, stuck sideways, without the raft. (Found by KrystleFairy12.)

Upcoming:
- Anything in the known bugs section with a ✔ before it!
- A wikia page!
- Updated (or partially updated) scene art in the new style to match the title screen! This may be shown in a 2.2 patch very soon, actually.
- Lain's sleeves, which start on black at the arm and end on white at the hand, will ALL be updated to the reflect that. Currently, the sprite sleeves are reversed.
- Lain also gets a sprite upgrade, to further match the other sprites in style!
- Story extension! Chapter 5 will be in demo 3.0! And hopefully some of 6!
- More music! I'm talking with two more possible music sources to further diversify the soundtrack!

Lain's Horrible Adventure (formerly known as Lain's Shitty Game) is a novelty action RPG I have been working for over a year now. It revolves around my character Lain Claes and her experiences in whatever the fuck I come up with at the time. This is the 2.0 version, the first being an older demo I had posted which is probably still in one of my older journals. This demo starts from the beginning and proceeds farther along than the first. A long of the info from then still applies, and a lot of this journal is copied from then because I'm a lazy ass.

This post is both a preview and a chance for all of you to help me debug it. Anyone who finds and reports a real glitch or error will be have their names added to the "Beta Testers" section of the credits and will have the opportunity to make a sprite and have it put into the game (if it's on par quality wise with the in game sprites.

Debuggers Demo 2:


1 HP Hero:
(For beating all of World 4.5 with just 1 HP)

Known Bugs:
^{(✔ denotes it has been fixed and the debugger is listed along with the bug)}
2.0 Release
- ✔ Lightning flashes may cause the screen to stay white or black when entering a door. Leave the door and wait outside for lightning to strike again, and it will return to normal. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- ✔ A character in Chapter 4 continues their interactions post-mortem. (found by just4fun45021.)
- ✔ A certain area in Chapter 3 has a pathfinding error where the player (or a sheep) can escape from the map and walk around in the sky. This offers no exploits, but it's definitely a glitch. (Found separately by Aneruil and burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ A corpse in Chapter 3 teleports to a different location upon returning to it. (Also found by burnt-sonic.)
- Sometimes enemies can be harmed by attacks not pointed in there direction. No fix, yet. This is an issue that relates to me using a turn-based engine for real-time combat. (Reported by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ An enemy in Chapter 4 can slip through a wall and walk around in a non-playable area. The player can potentially pass through as well which could cause death. (Also found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ An tree in Chapter 4 has no base. Tileset error. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- ✔ A plaque in Chapter 4 turns into a big ol' sign when you read it. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- ✔ A weapon tells you to press the Z key to attack with it when you pick it up, but the item description says to use the A key. The Z key is correct.(Found by FahBraccini.)
- Being attacked by an enemy in Chapter 4 while leaving "darkness" can cause the "darkness" effect to continue even after leaving. To stop this, go back into the darkness and come back out again. Still working on a fix. (Reported by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ A wall in Chapter 4 looks like a clipping error, like the player is half-way going through it. Fixed by adding a visible shade effect. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ Some water in Chapter 4.5 can be walked on. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ In Chapter 4, some dialogue implies the player cannot reach a certain block, but due to an elevation error, they can, so the dialogue doesn't make sense. Players will no longer be able to reach that area. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ After moving from one room to another in Chapter 4.5, equipped items (knife, glasses, outfit, etc) may disappear from the player's sprite, but from the game's perspective are still functional and equipped. To fix, re-equip the item(s) in question. (Reported by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ Some blood-covered walls can be walked on. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- ✔ Some lockers have clipping/depth issues on their top-halves. Some can be walked behind and some can't. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- A character in Chapter 4 moves during a dialogue sequence but moves back to his original position upon exiting the area and returning. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- An enemy near the end of Chapter 4.5 won't harm players who are not moving. This seems to be an aspect of flying enemies. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ The intermittent rain at the end of the demo may continue indefinitely after the final scene. (Found by both burnt-sonic and OokamiOki.)
- ✔ Some rocks on water can be walked on. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- ✔ Lain legitimately thinks that a red wheelchair is blue. Fixed, but she's in denial. (Found by FahBraccini, and is his favorite.)
- The third boss can be pushed through parts of the background and we don't know why. (Found by HalfSoul45.)
- The first boss can rarely get stuck in parts of the map, but we haven't been able to replicate this. (Found by catcat7077)
- Several issues in the "Debug World" are present and being worked on as well. Issues include saving (✔), walking on water (mostly ✔), things talking when they can't or shouldn't, and some other clipping issues. (Found by CamiBasua and burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ The top few pixels of Lain's head disappear when she stands directly in front of the TV in the professor's house. (Found by me in Part 4 of teaunicorn's Let's Play, so she gets the credit.)
- ✔ After beating the third boss, Lain can become stuck facing a single direction but can still move around. (Found by SantaClaw.)
- ✔(?) Stabbing the teleport maid can sometimes cause the knife to become "invisible." Lain isn't holding the knife, but everyone you talk to reacts like being stabbed. This is an old glitch we thought was fixed so I'm looking into it further now. UPDATE: It seems that tapping the activate key immediately after putting the knife away can cause it to become invisible instead of being put away. This may relate to the original issue, and has been fixed. (Found by OokamiOki.)
- ✔ Being kicked out of the northern section of the Factory (for dress code) above the pool room entrance causes the dripping sound to continue indefinitely. (Found by OokamiOki.)
- ✔ Some logs outside the factory still think it's snowing, from back in Demo 1. It's not snowing anymore. (Found by FahBraccini.)
- ✔ You can stab a character through the table and book in front of him. (Found by burnt-sonic.)
- ✔ If you attempt to repeat world 4.5, then half of it doesn't work properly and it eventually soft-crashes the game. This has been fixed by making 4.5 inaccessible upon completion. (Found by myself and burnt-sonic.)

Upcoming:
- Anything in the known bugs section with a ✔ before it!
- Complete overhaul of the holy water system. The new one is easier and makes much more sense.
- A way to fight the darkness in World 4.
- A long-term Color Girl reference thanks to Krooked-Glasses.
- Other random small fixes (typos, sounds, face usage, etc).
- Cheats! It will be a 9-digit password-based system done in secret room with a previously unreleased character.
- New pixel art for most items found on free online resource sites. This is both to make the style more consistent and ensure we have the rights use all art involved.
- MASKED MAN GETS A REAL DESIGN!
- New art! and more. The style has changed a little. Krooked-Glasses, of course.

So, I survived Dragon*Con. That's where I've been these past few days, and is why Warped Designs got a little backed up and all. I've also become hopelessly addicted to Minecraft, which is what has slowed the work on my game, but hasn't stopped it. Expect a Lain Minecraft skin soon, everyone.

Game Updates:
I'm nearly finished with the second demo of Lain's Shitty Game. it will be out before the end of the month, I promise. To those of you I've promised special demos, just contact me and I'll upload one for you.

What to expect:
-Name change! Lain's Shitty Game is now Lain's Horrible Adventure! This was done for advertising reasons mostly, and because it's less fourth-wall-breaking. It will be easier to hand out fliers to people at cons if the fliers aren't covered in foul language.
-A full facial expression set for Lain by Krooked-Glasses.
-More awesome pixel art by GirlFromSeven11.
-Some new music and sounds by AcidKannibal and some auditory poop by myself, in addition to the acoustic tracks by Michael P.
-An actual opening sequence.
-Less typos.
-More blood.
-More zombies.
-A chance for revenge against that skeleton you all hate who stands in front of the factory.
-Some fan service if Ace has the time for it.
-A new SUPER RIDICULOUS debug world that contains previews for the third demo. Of course, there will be a new secret to getting their as well.

Thank all of you for your patience. More updates on the game will follow along with Demo 2.0.

As for our hilarious Back Row audio cast things, we still want to make those, it's just the back row/my room has been crowded these weekends of late so recording has been inconvenient if not impossible. They'll be more, and I'll eat more Bottlecaps, complain more about recent Silent Hill games, and continue to reference Randy from the literary abortion known as Jeff The Killer. Plus new stuff, obviously.

Neph out.

It was terrible. It was my second reading of it, but it was the first JtK experience for the rest of the Back Row. SPOILERS: It's a terrible, badly written story. As an author, I am shocked and horrified that it's so popular... But don't read about it here. Just listen...
HERE! handicapbanana.tumblr.com/post…

GO TO SLEEP! _{^{Cuz if you're asleep, you can't read my terrible story...}}
