First of all, stress is the main thing about this game that makes it hard. The amount of stress you lose should decrease as you get farther into the game, or get more of a stat (ie. Composure or Temerament). It's pretty annoying when you kill an enemy in two hits and Legen gets stressed, so it should scale with the battle, like how much damage you take or something. Also, add a potion we can take in an adventure location that reduces stress, like a relaxation potion so we can spend more than 30 seconds in a dungeon and it doesn't take 10 weeks to do the hard ones. That would make the game a lot for fun for a lot of people. still, 4/5 for everything else. Stress just needs balancing.

In the adventure location, Ravine of Beauty, the description of it is "Your bards keep signing of this once enchanting place." I'm pretty sure that it is meant to be singing not signing.

I don't know if anyone else has this little pet peeve, but why can't we choose the sex of our character??? Just wondering ^_^'

Hard Challenge method: (there is probably a better way but this should work)
Start with all constitution talents, building material, and magic defense.
Year 1 (Age 12): Up Garden to 3(increase resting efficiency) with building material. Work as Sweeper(inc dex) and rest repeatedly.
Year 2 (Age 13): Work as Laborer for increased constitution.
Year 3 (Age 14): Keep working as Laborer. But upgrade barracks to lv 1 so you can take combat training for 2x efficiency with the money you made. Before you are 15, you should have taken out the first few dungeons and have some more materials to build forge
Year 4 (Age 15): build forge and do smithing for constitution. Take the money you earn for combat training and start taking out the easier dungeons. Use your material to upgrade hunter hut so you can take mixed combat for magic defense, and also max garden for rest efficiency.
From that point on, just keep working and training to comfortably taking out more dungeons.

"I'm rich, give me your most expensive adventuring item!" "Oh, yes, we do have something very special in stock for someone like you. This health potion."

Hello again, Skeleton with Boner. It's been a few weeks but I can see you're still happy to see me. Care to rassle and give me some loot before I turn 19 and I'm too old to adventure anymore?

Master, can you teach me how to use a sword? Please?
Ok, Legen, all you do is run up to your enemy, swing at nothing then run back to where you were standing.

Anyone know how to access the rightmost dungeons (other than the sturdy passage?) I've maxed out every stat. Only thing I haven't done is get the work level up to 100 for every job.

@theo, some dungeons require finishing other dungeons to unlock. The skull one at the very top for example requires finishing the gates of hell one.

@wyrd42 You're right, but the game throws you into a bunch of menus with no sense of direction or upfront explanation of what anything does. So I went into the "Testing Grounds." Seems like a logical course of action, right?

Heaps of potential I feel, although feels like the game is only half finished, I felt half the skills made no difference, limiting jobs by age seemed almost pointless, perhaps make it that unlocking a new job is determined by prerequisite skill levels? Hope to see a more polished and clean generation 3! ^_^

To the game developer:
I love these kinds of "raise your monster/prince/princess" games, and was ecstatic to see one on Kongregate.
The one big issue that I had was that the Stress system bothered me. In some cases, it was things that didn't make sense (like the fact that Legen gets more stressed when he finds treasure). In others, it was just that Stress seems a bit overbearing. It builds very quickly, and takes so much to get rid of. There are no toys/potions/whatever to help get rid of Stress. At times, it made the game feel slow.

Might be just me but I've always hated it when in games like this there's some time limit and you just lose. I understand the time limit but what if instead of the game just ending you could continue to play anyways to still get everything but you just won't get the proper ending or something. It's the same thing in Pikman, if you don't beat the whole game by the time limit you have to start over. I personally hate that, might just be me, but, + if you agree

Walking in the dungeon is stressful for you alright, but it's very stressful for the player if you got too stressed 1 step before opening a treasure chest!

Legen. I know you're just a kid. But if you can hit a pinata you can hit a skeleton without missing more then 70% of the time. (ಠ_ಠ)

Hard badge with 60 weeks to go...cool. If anyone wants the walk through, it is pretty easy. Get CON and materials to start. Build up garden. Street sweep, and then laborer. Once that is done you have to get lucky and get the Castle (random in scorching desert - just run from all fights). Rest there for the stats. Then use the barracks and train up to 1000 in physicals (you may need to do some of the lower level quests to get materials for the Barracks). Once you have that maxxed, it is just a matter of keeping up with items. Buy the General Store. Then buy various upgrades to unlock dungeons. You can get the 20 items without ever going into the VERY time consuming red dungeons.

serious question.... do you just start with like 20% chance to hit or am I just retardedly unlucky. miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss... every fight.

What does it mean when your 7-day babysitting job went so badly you only get paid for 3 days I feel like that warrants further investigation

WARNING: Specific skills must be met in order for enough dungeons to appear. If you follow the guides written in the comments, you must ALSO make sure that you level skills, such as Bravery and Tactics. Unfortunately, I did not keep track of which skills opened which dungeons at what levels. Just know that it's something you have to be aware of. I only figured this out after blowing past my last 18 weeks experimenting!!
