[SIZE=10pt]-I’m not a fan of the portraits. They work for the little girl, but on the other characters they’re too cutesy and fail at conveying what’s needed for a horror game.[/SIZE]
Well, play some Japanese games, cuteness is just cuteness. And it's really interesting that "cute" characters getting rip of their... *censored*. 

The cute game can make horrifying atmosphere as well.

I know what you eman to say but it just does not work for me at all. The graphic style is a bit shaky as it is and the adults just look off. The little girl is fine, the rest...aren't.

Personally, I too must confess the cutesy wootesy style isn't for me, but hey, to each her own. ^_^  The good thing about all this is we can only gt better with practice!

It seems cool at first, but I got totally lost after meeting the demon. D: I kept getting game overs because little thingies kept following me around. :o

It wasn't so much scary (to me) as it was... "Unsettling"...

Thank you so much for the feedback! I agree that the graphics were a downfall (the woes of being a one girl team with limited time) and that some things were too easy (I didn't want the judges to get too lost). I hope that the re-release will fix these errors now that I actually have time to examine them. ;;

I'm very excited to say that Alyssa will be getting a makeover after the contest ends. We are already in the process of outlining how we're going to make this game better-- and yes,  I said we! I've assembled a fantastic team and I am so so very excited about this project!

As such, it would be incredibly helpful to get feedback. We want to make the game more fun, so be blunt in telling me what annoyed you if you've played.

Thanks so so much!

Congratulations! God luck to you!


As far as feedback goes, more hints to the player... I was killed once before I figured out the family portrait was a save point!

I need to see a remastered maid. Why? Because I like a maid. ;cough;

By the way, the illustrations dramatised well. Previous cutesy things were.... 

Now, time to see customised musics and sprites. I don't like default demon guys that put in your game.

I prefer the current ones the game has.
Actually the characters in the game need to extend the size and height to fit the new illustrations. The size of the ones in Gothic Pack would be suitable.

If Berri wants to change the illustrations, I say let her. The cutesy look worked for alyssa, but not for the staff. I thought they were her age!

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.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
