Notes

• Ignore the first couple of enemies in the game and head towards the cynlinder enemies, destroying one should debug the game.
• It is actually possible to start and complete all three of the Game Dev Machine quests before the Assault quest. During Ch 05-01: Pascal's Village (Machine Request, Machine Trade) (Route B) after speaking to Pascal for the first time, the red (???) dot for Game Dev Machine Lv 1 appears. Start the quest and the game will thereafter allow you to play and complete all three quests before Ch 05-02: Goliath Attack (Assault) (Route B) if you so desire.
