The Winter's Deal

[Lady JJ]

Well I finished the game and enjoyed it just as much as I thought I would. There were 2 technical problems that I had . One was with the secret rooms . I found them all but my quest log didn't count one of the and I don't know which one. The same thing happened with the presents. I noticed it right away when it happened but didn't write it down but it was early in the game. Maybe the 4th or 5th one. Oh well I know I found them all.

Did you get the present when you found the 7th room? I found all 7 secret rooms (stumbled into the 6th be accident) and got the reward, but the quest wasn't then moved from active to complete. Though the 'did that' icons are there for all 7 rooms. I also had all 9 presents with completed icons and that quest was moved to completed.

Was there ever a time when there were only 5 gargoyles to be burned? I ask this because the 5th gargoyle I burned was in Snowbelle Port and I got a message saying 'Great, you burned all the gargoyles, let's go see if the gate has opened' (paraphrasing here but you get the idea). Anyway, it's just a misplaced message, doesn't affect the quest or the quest journal in any way. When I burned the 7th gargoyle, I got the same message and this time the gate was opened.

Fun game as always.

The Winter's Deal - Frosty Edition received an update! New version is v1.1.0.
Nothing important for the gameplay was done, but some minor issues were fixed. In more detail:

Spoiler: show

A] The Secret Rooms quest will now be moved over to the "completed" section of the QuestLog. (Could not reproduce the 9 Lost Presents problem, so it was left alone.)
B] A small problem regarding the 9 Lost Presents reward was fixed.
C] Icon for the Antidote item was changed. It used to have the same icon as Elixir C, which was not intended.
D] Some typos were corrected.
E] The quest giver's Quest Bubble Icon for Exterminators II was "solid" and was fixed to be "above" characters, as per usual.
F] Wrong message prompt by Jonathan after burning the Snowbelle Port gargoyle was fixed.

You don't *need* this update, but it's good to have!
Update your game by uninstalling your current version, redownloading from the link you received after purchasing the game and reinstalling the game.

P.S: In general, if you complete a quest, but doesn't move to the *completed* section, it's because I forgot to mark the quest headline as completed in the game. It will not affect anything. You will be rewarded and the game will acknowledge the quest as done. I know it's annoying, that's why I'm fixing these issues, whenever I catch them.

@LadyJJ P.P.S:

Spoiler: show

Yep, there were initially 5 gargoyles in the game, instead of 7. The message you saw is -of course- me not updating an if statement regarding the value change of a variable from 5 to 7. However, as you said, it's just a leftover thing. Nothing important. I fixed it in this version.
I am glad you enjoyed The Winter's Deal, even though it's lacking in some aspects.

I am having a problem with the text showing up correctly - can't read what's going on. Any suggestions?

[Valdy]

Oh hey... I just saw my name being corrected. Thank you Indinera. Somehow I never thought you could do that.

I installed the updated version, and have no problems with the text.

What a GREAT game for the season! Absolutely loved this game!!! I couldn't find the last present. I triple checked after finishing game but I'll find it somehow when I play it again later. I loved the bunny he was really cute. It seems the Easter bunny has been ignored in a couple of other stories as well. I can't wait for more of The Deal characters in the future. I did have a problem with the purchased game and had to turn off my anti-virus to install it though. Didn't have that problem with the demo though. Just thought I'd let you know in case other people had that problem. Equipment for the characters was awesome especially the anti-silence ones which helped so much. Thanks for having a holiday game created in time!!! Kudos to Orfeas!!!

oops, I guess 9th present didn't register since I found all the hidden rooms. Just realized that after reading above comments. My bad.

My Norton virus scanner warns me with every game that comes out new on this site. After I download a game, a red warning comes up. But I click on "install anyway", and it works fine without me having to turn off Norton.

The reason Norton gives me a warning is not because there is a virus in the game, but because not enough people have yet downloaded and installed the games, and therefore Norton hasn't yet been able to get enough information to give me the "green light". So it warns me...

Just finished - very enjoyable so thank you very much for all your work making a great little game
I managed to complete all the quests except dipped out on finding one of the lost presents which was a bummer!
I may have better luck if I can get time to try it again
Thanks again,

[OrfeasGS]

I'm so happy everyone's enjoying the game! Many antiviruses flag games as a potential problem, because the software is not installed in too many PCs. Exactly as Valdy said!
(I think, for the last present, you should pay a visit to the well, outside of Snowveil Forest.)

@sandie1000 The text and icons on textboxes are rendered by your graphics card. Be sure you are running the latest driver of your card and please try again. Unfortunately this is not an issue I can fix from my end.
