Before I go any further into this, let me express my gratitude for giving my game a shot.  It means a lot to me that you would take time out to do this.  :D  

Things mentioned that I will take away from this as constructive criticism and will consider:

I need to learn how to map.  In the same vein, make the buildings less "TARDIS" like, less interior space.

Simplify the menus or at least make them less "busy"

This is already fixed (Somewhat)  Text boxes need to be used for better contrast so they can be read.

Check the balance (especially in the into) of random battles.  Though the game is supposed to be tough, it's supposed to slap you up side the head with it in the main gaming world, not in the intro.

I'm sorry your play experience was not better, but in actual competency of playing the game, you did better than Deathspark who despite making it into the main world, got hung up on a game breaking glitch in the fading house.  Sorry I was not there to atone for my sins.  Here are some responses to a few things talked about:

This is my second game made on rpgmakerxp.

The battlers are from D&D books and Pathfinder (Mylar and some monsters you didn't see)

Thank goodness I'm not selling this, It's more a demo for a STORY, that I would like someone to pick up and redo in a non-rpg maker way.

As is true with the battlers, the music was credited properly in the CREDITS at the end of the game.

No I cannot afford the graphics pack that I want and need (50 bucks for the high fantasy set).

There is at least one play tester that has finished the game and enjoyed it.

I do not like the RTP.  If everyone used it, everyone's games would look too much alike. And I'm chastised for a lack of originality?

A walkthrough was included.  Did you read it?

In a sense, I feel as if I have failed.  Congratulations, the "sweet" taste has officially been washed out.

On a last and lighter note, YOU AND YOUR WATCHERS REALLY KNOW THEIR VIDEO GAME MUSIC!  :guffaw:

Thanks again,

Tiamat5774

Thanks for the reply man, I'm glad you were able to take something constructive from the play through, I know I was pretty rough on it.  

I did not read a guide. I honestly didn't know one was included...

Don't worry about my experience, I choose to do this, and a lot of game makers can't make it to the streams because I don't plan very well... -_-  

Your game just needs some work, like many others. I would look at some design\mapping tutorials. Maybe you can get some inspiration from other games you like to play and that might have a positive effect on your game.

I'll be contacting you in a personal message to ask you something as well, thanks again!

I'd like to thank you for taking the game's demo for a spin. That gave me quite a lot of feedback. Unfortunately I couldn't participate in the stream, but from what I saw from your archive, you and the viewers had quite the fun.

Are these still a thing? I've checked your profile and it seems you're still around, but I'd be very interested~

I don't have a lot of time these days but I'd love to stream maybe after the holidays. Go ahead and leave me your game and I'll take a look at it.

Ah, thank you! It's not the finished game - but a demo that is "completed" game in itself. Originally intended to be a combat demo, it ended up being something bigger because I didn't like releasing something that blunt. It's about 2-3 hours in gameplay, depending on how much time you spent on exploring (it's worth it!) and features multiple endings.

The most recent version is on the last page right now, I'll update the main one today too though. ^-^

I've started streaming again, yay! So now I'm streaming on friday's at 10:30PM CST but I need some games to play! My new format is now first impressions, since I can't usually dedicate more than 30 min per game. This should still give me a good idea on your game plus some feedback!

Hey! I made a short little game called "The Root of All Evil" awhile ago that I recently updated and rereleased. I'd be interested in your feedback on it!

https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/the-root-of-all-evil-a-micro-rpg-rsw.64205/

I'm always interested in what people have to say, both the good and the bad. I won't be able to make tonight's stream, but maybe next week, if you have time?

Thank you for putting your time into playing and testing other people's games!

Can you make let's play of my new game Strangers of the Power 2?


It's self contained dungeon crawler and doesn't require you to play first one to understand this. Think of it more like a Diablo than traditional JRPG.

@TheTitan99 I'll add it to next week's list! Thanks for sharing!

@Tuomo L If you want, I can add it to the list if you provide a key via PM. I can't guarantee that I'll play more than 30 minutes of the game because of the nature of my First Impressions. So, it's up to you if you feel that is worth giving me a key for. :)

Thank you for play my game I really happy you enjoying also I'm very sorry I couldn't be in the stream. It was too early for me :c
You almost finish the demo! and fight with the first (unexpected) boss! just one flower left!

(Well, if you want finish it. You get the last flower when you give a peach to the baby cloud that wants something sweet, you get the peach on the tree that is in the forest, the right map, where two waterfalls fall.)

Hello everyone! I regret to inform you that my 2 kiddos have come down with a stomach flu and it's going to be near impossible to do my stream tonight, so, I'll try to do it this coming Monday at the same time (10:30PM CST) Hopefully by then my kids will be better! Here are the games for the current line up:

Loveless - CainReval
The Root of All Evil - TheTitan99
Strangers of the Power - Tuomo
Nightingale Downs - SimProse

No need to explain, family's more important than live streaming!

Don't think I'm gonna be able to make the Monday one live, but I'll be sure to watch it after the fact.

Delaying the stream to Wednesday, same time. The good news is that my kids are better, bad news is they shared their sickness with me, YAY! It seems like a couple of days and I'll be better, hopefully. Sorry for any inconveniences but I'll be back, I promise. Thanks for all the support. <3

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'??
