Kaus tilesets are really the best (imho)!


However, not always easy to use. But you've done an awesome work here, as far I can see!


Keep it up, looking forward to try your game one day ^-^

Is the menu animated in anyway (menu text animates as you scroll through it)?

This previous Menu was animated I changed it into a new one, I think this one is too much. So I changed it to a new one check out the video above.

Renewed topic design.

I don't know about gameplay and story just yet. By looking at the video, the game has clean and nice UI, the mapping also look good.

 

[Jeb]

This is absolutely gorgeous. I look forward to trying it out. I'm also going to look into Kaus' tilesets too. Thanks for posting the demo and screenshots.

 

[Mister.Right]

Tried out a few minutes game play, it gets boring quick. Lack of tutorial for newbie, I died at first encounter. Game play needs more works. The story telling first few minutes is shallow and not interesting enough if you can grab players into the story in just first 15 minutes you win their stay with the game.

I downloaded and played your demo a week or two ago, wrote up some feedback, and then forgot to post it.    So sorry if I bring up things you've already fixed or changed.


I gave your demo a shot, and I think it has potential.  Now, I was just downloading a bunch of random games so I didn't read your synopsis before starting, but I realize right away that you were copying Grimgar's intro.  Unfortunately the anime did it much better, and your intro was just a poor imitation (and Kise using lesbian as an insult was a major turn off).  I would really suggest trying to do your own thing for the intro.  Inspiration is fine, but trying to copy something is not.


Your writing needs work.  There are quite a few times where you're missing periods or not capitalizing letters like 'I' in sentences.  Going over it to fix up the grammar and editing the dialogue to sound more natural would do wonders (personally I read things out loud to see if it sounds like something a person would say, and if it's too robotic I change it).  Once I had control I checked out the skills, and was happy to see that you started me with a couple.  However, it would've been nice if you had added some descriptions to them (luckily 'Dual Attack' is pretty self explanatory).  Keep an eye on the descriptions you did add to some of the skills and quests though, because a few of them were cut off.


The maps are very pretty, but due the recent issue with those tiles I would suggest replacing them.  There are a few passability issues (I could walk through the support posts in town and into a barrel), and I think your torches need the stepping animation button clicked.  Another thing to keep in mind is that even though they're pretty, the maps do have to be nice to move around.  The town is a bit tight to move around in, and the first area with monsters is nice to look at but has a few movement issues.  The big trees are pretty, but they block my view a lot when moving around the map, which means that I couldn't see some enemies or where there was something in my way.  Right at the entrance of the area there are steps and a tree that blocks a cliff tile, and I couldn't tell the cliff was there because my view was blocked.


Battle wasn't awful, but unfortunately 'Penta Slash' crashed the game for me, so I was limited in what I could do (I tried to fix it, but it didn't seem to help).  I was a little sad that I couldn't escape any of the battles, because I wanted to just look at the maps and not fight at first but if I ended up in a fight I either had to win or I'd get a game over.  I also had a case of getting attacked while the tutorials were up, which wasn't good.  


I finished up the monster slaying quest and didn't get another quest, so I assume that was the end of the demo.  Overall I think it definitely has potential, and as you add more and polish it it could be a very fun little game.
