NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE THIS TEXT FILE FROM THE ZIP CONTAINING 7THDAY.RPG IF YOU ARE GOING TO DISTRIBUTE MY GAME!

***********INTRODUCTION

Thanks for downloading! This is my (Shadowiii's) 48 Hour Contest Entree for the year 2004. The entire game was made in (almost exactly) 48 hours, from July 24th - 25th. That includes all scripts, graphics, music, whatever. 

Fairy Tale Chosen for the 48 Hour Contest: Chicken Little (You'll have to look for it). 

Also covers the Genesis (which isn't a fairy tale, though). 

The Seventh Day is a shooting style game. In it you hunt enemies and gain money to upgrade guns/buy ammo/buy healing items/feel rich and special while progressing the story. The game is very story driven (about three shy of 500 text boxes), so be sure to read all the text if you want to know what's going on. 

***********GAMEPLAY

Here are the controls

Up/Down/Left/Right - Move the player up, down, left, or right. 
"S" - Shoots the gun. Shooting the gun costs one bullet (you can hold eight at a time). If your clip is empty, you can't shoot your gun anymore
"F" - Shoots your taiser. The taiser is half as strong as the gun. It also has a crappy range and fires slower. However, it doesn't cost any bullets. 
"B" - Shows your bullets left (automatically reverts back to health after a few seconds)

Escape/Alt - Opens the menu. In items, you can use potions or clips. You can also quit the game, save, etc. 

***********Bugs you need to know about

These bugs are IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT. If you get script errors, it isn't my fault.

1. The "Mash the shoot button while being attacked/held down causes an overbuffer" - It doesn't do you more damage or anything, but it does lag you up for a second. If you are hurt, DONT MASH THE SHOOT BUTTON PLEASE. For some reason the script is dumb and can't open scripts more then once without messing up. Joy

2. The "Save in a battle" Bug - Just dont do it. I'd put in save point, but save points SUCK. I'd rather have you enjoy the game and save wherever you want. However, DON'T SAVE IN BATTLES. ITLL MESS UP TAGS AND STUFF THAT YOU CANNOT FIX. YOULL HAVE TO RESTART YOUR GAME. DONT BE STUPID, PLEASE.

**************Tips

It is my opinion that crabs give the best money : bullets used ratio. They are ABUNDENT on the beach. 

Wait until and enemy stops before shooting him. If you shoot him while in motion, he dodges your shot. 

Don't get hurt by enemies. You can't heal health in battles, so don't be an idiot and ram yourself into them. 

It doesn't take long to master the controls. Just try the best you can.

Carry at least 10 clips with you at all times. Maybe even 20 or 30 if you are fighting a boss.

The best gun upgrade is, by FAR, the power up. However, range is also a fantastic upgrade.

****************Special Thanks

Mr. B - Though he didn't do much this time (except play the thing), he did find a few really important bugs. Thanks, dude!

James Paige - For making the engine. It rules, though it could be more powerful and not give script errors so much. :P

DjFenix - For making the contest. And having a theme that really bites. :P

Minnek - For harassing me less then usual during the contest. 

MultiColoredWizard and "Me" - For making Deer Hunter XTREME, which gave me a basis for my gun script. 

Chaos Nyte - For...well...talking to me sometimes. :P
