Heena and Sera

Sound familiar? Well, those are the names of the first two NPCs you'll ever meet in Maple World! Well, actually that depends on whether or not you view the Maple Administrator who appears in your first ever dialog box as an NPC. Which reminds me. I don't have that screenie. But what I do have, and am presenting, are Heena and Sera! Because JYxBadDialog is back! Hooray! This is his journey through the first ever map you'll find yourself in in Maple World, the West Entrance to Mushroom Town!

This is Heena, presenting to you your first ever quest. It's changed since I first played Maple way back at version 0.16, when you had to bring a mirror from Sera to Heena.







After this, you walk over to Sera...



 


And get sent off to the next map! This tutorial, as you can see, basically teaches you how to talk to NPCs as well as go through portals, as well as a bit about movement and the interface. At least that's what it's supposed to do. Let's find out if it succeeds in it's purpose. I'll be writing out all the dialog, in case you can't see the pictures for some reason.

Wow, it's a lot to type out. Typing prac! Let's put my noob typing speed of 96wpm compared to Chops to the test!

(On first speaking to her)
'You must be a new traveller. I will give you new instructions which will be very useful. If you want to speak to us, you can simply just double-click us. You can move by pressing Left, Right Key and jump by pressing Space Bar. Come on~ Try! Also, sometimes, you have to climb up the ladder or use the rope to get to the destination, where you want. You can do that by pressing up arrow. Please keep this in mind.'

(Clicking on the quest)
'Hello there. You must be a newcomer. You name is... JYxBadDialog? Glad to meet you. I guess you're still unfamiliar with Maple World. Do not worry, we welcome you here with open arms.'

(Next)
'Do you know how to talk to us? You just have to double click us with your mouse. You can talk to just about anyone or anything that us a small dialogue box when you move your mouse cursor over them.'

(Next)
'Those with flashing bulbs bulbs above their heads are the ones with quests. They are probably waiting for you to talk to them, so do not hesitate to click.'

(Next)
'Come to think of it, my sister Sera said that she wanted to talk to new travellers... If you don't mind, would you go and see Sera?'

(Upon accepting the quest)
'You've accepted the quest! First check the mini map on the left side of the screen. The mini map can be opened and closed with the M key, and people are indicated in various colours. The ones that are flashing green are the residents of Maple World.'

(After walking over to Sera and talking to her)
'It is a fine day to do the laundry~ Don't you think so?'

(Clicking on the quest)
'...oh, hello! You must be a newcomer. Heena must have told you about me. I'm so glad we met.'

(Next)
'Maple World may be a small island, but I think it's really great that I can be the first to meet new travelers. I think there's nothing better than becoming friends with strangers. I hope you will make a lot of friends while you are here.'

(Next)
'If you wish to proceed, please use the portal on the right. The shining ray of light is called a portal. You can travel by standing on it and pressing the up arrow key. Farewell, now... I hope your future is bright.'

Okay, it's a long post. My part will come later. But as you can see, these really aren't TOO bad, compared to other pieces of dialogue... Must be to make a good impression. With my help, Maple can make an even better one!
