Good morning!

I'm thinking I'll release a "half update" soon, to get some bugfixes out now that I know they need to be done. To that end, I'm working on adding more NPCs that are sick, injured, or otherwise need the help of a passing apothecary. Many such NPCs are already in the game, but most of them are relatively late-game compared to the ones I'm adding.

This dog isn't feeling well. Maybe Brill can help with that?
Brill can help these characters out, usually by providing a relatively cheap item. The game tracks how many people Brill has treated, too- and in 0.3.5, there'll be a special Side Quest that shows you this number. Most of the time, you won't get a reward immediately for healing an NPC, but there is a reward involved...

Aw yeah! Came to this blog because TVTropes! This is giving me Princess Remedy Vibes! Also because throwing potions just now! Woo!


Gonna play this when I get to my weak machine. Don't wanna clog up my strong one with things that don't need its power.

This is RPGMaker MV, right? Could we get this to run in-browser, ala https://hiddenone.itch.io/reincarnation-assistant

Awesome! Glad you're interested in playing.

I haven't really thought before about making the game playable in-browser, but it's worth considering! I'd need to test the game quite a bit to make sure all the plugins play nice with browsers, and probably figure out the logistics of making Ruphand run in-browser. But it does mean less to download, and since saves are client-side, it might be able to save users a lot of time moving their old saves when the game updates.
