I LOVE this game! I love the characters, the story, the world and the atmosphere. And I hope I'll hear from those two who used to live in the cave...

But I found one things little mistake:

Sylvia sometimes evades her own healings. It's just strange, and I am not sure if it's something you can fix (I am still a noob in RPG Maker), but I thougt I'd point it out. ^^

I can`t save and i haw gone in the magic circle thingy.
You have to push space or enter when you aer standidng in the circle. Then choose the file you want to save in. :)

Hello,
 
I downloaded your game and have made some progress. I am enjoying greatly. Spoiler below containing my thoughts:

The first story arc, the one with the three boys, Clive, Jerrick and Toby, pretending to kidnap the mayor's son Alan, was incredibly well done I thought. It starts off with the player feeling an urgent determination, but as they continue they start to feel skeptical, like something more is going on than what was initially presented. Then finally the story ends with the player feeling both admiration for the boys and disgust for the mayor. It's not necessarily a happy ending, but these kinds of stories are important in teaching life lessons. And it more than did its part in teaching the girls, who are still naive and ignorant of the world the horrible state of things. But like the strong characters they are, they continue to press forward. Beautifully done. Bravo.

Also, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I like what you did with the three boys and their parents' method of raising their kids. Each of the three boys had a distinct personality that seemed to stem from how their parents raised them. Toby was easily startled and a bit timid, and his mother was overly coddling and protective. Jerrick was easily angered and the most violent, and his father was abusive. Clive was arrogant and full of himself, and had parent's that were too passive and complimenting.

I am now making my trek through the forest and I encountered something that made the game crash. I don't know if anyone else experienced this; I was fighting a Forest Pixie and tried to use the spell Salamander on them. When Cyril used the spell, the game crashed. Sorry it's not much info.

I'm going to play some more tonight. As I make progress I'll post my thoughts here.

Cool; glad you're liking it so far.  Yeah, the three boys' parents were intentionally written like that.  The boys will come back at a later point in the story and you'll be able to draw more parallels with their parents.

I don't know what was up with the game crashing; it's not something I can recreate, so maybe it's some internal flaw with VX's code?  Regardless, I really doubt it will happen again, but, if it does, let me know.

I found an issue at the beginning of the game. When I enter the room with the Chimera, it fades out, but doesn't fade back in, even after defeating the chimera.

Wow, I can't believe that's been overlooked for so long.  I'll make sure to update the download to fix that, but it can be avoided by not leaving the Chimera room after you first enter.  If you've already done that, then you can fix it by leaving the dungeon and going back in.  Again, though, I'll fix the issue and reupload it as soon as possible.  Thanks for pointing this out!

Hi! I just downloaded the game and I like it a lot so far. I did, however, find a bug that set me back a few times.

Very early game, but spoilered just in case:

When going up the mountain in order to rescue the mayor's son from bandits, during the portion with falling rocks, there first rock that falls in the center gets stuck on the ground. I THINK what was happening was that I was pressing the "right" directional button too many times and the game was treating me like I was hitting this stationary rock, and I was getting knocked down onto the cliff face and unable to move. I had to access the menu and go back to my last save.

I'm not sure if the stuck rock is or isn't the culprit, but obviously the main problem is getting knocked backwards off the path and onto a square where you can't move.

Dang.  That rock puzzle has been my BANE.  If you notice a stuck rock, leave the area and come back; I'm still not sure what causes it to do that, but it seems occasional.  I may have to modify how that puzzle works in order to clear up that problem for good.

Though a little basic, the story and idea is really cool. Definitely going to try, nice work man!

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
