RMMV Manafinder - A tale about survival featuring all original pixel art and music! [Released!]

[masterlobo]

Hmm, I may skip tomorrow's #screenshotsaturday

I had a small issue this week which set me back ~4 hours... I think I closed RPGMV without saving or something

Anyways, I manage to redo all the lost work already

But yeah, on top of that the news this week are not the best


HawkZombie did an LP of the demo and I loved it, really cheered me up after the setback I had!

 

[PrimitivePixels]

Can't tell you how excited I am for this project! Stoked HawkZombie did a playthrough, that was really fun to watch! Keep on rockin'!

Another LP! This time by TheGamedawg!

 

[RCDunn]

Hey great demo, I really enjoyed it and even forwarded the link to my brother which I don't normally do

The only thing that bothered me was how loud the cursor SE is in the main menu (when you move up and down). The first thing I did was lower the SE volume because of that.

Other than that you have a pretty awesome game here, congrats!

Thank you! And I will take your feedback into account for the release

Latest update... You can pet Scar! This is not available in the demo, since I just finally added it. Went for a custom sprite only for this lol

A few updates:
1. Honored to have been included in Turn Based Lovers video! <3


2. #screenshotsaturday showcasing how you can get an extra turn in combat!

 

[masterlobo]

I'm nearing completion of a build that can be played from the beginning all the way to the two endings, including sidequests!

After this comes extensive testing...

All in all, I'm still very optimistic about releasing this year!

 

[masterlobo]

Tomato time!

A wild ketchup joke appears, also?

Important update:


The old tiles are 5 years old, and well, Manafinder's style has evolved since then. I'm still attached to them, but I believe the new ones are cleaner, and most importantly consistent with the rest of the game.

I'm very happy with the new look, I hope you all like them too!

 

[alice_gristle]

New tiles totes better! Less busy, more harmonious! Alice approves!

 

[Willibab]

You made front view battles look good, impressive

 

[ShadowDragon]

I like the left image (if that is the newer one).

 

[RCDunn]

The left are the older ones, which I agree gave it a more unique feel. The new ones are definitely cleaner though. Tough call, both are good!

I did end up going with the right ones. They end up being cleaner and more consistent with the rest of the game. I do appreciate your honesty though. It was a hard call, it took me a while to finally do it, but it had been bugging me for a while now.

In other news... Manafinder development is moving along pretty nicely! The game is now playable 100%. I've sent a few builds to testers to start getting ready for release!

 

[ShadowDragon]

I dont mind what you choose, it's your game, but if it fits, why not.
I love to hard glitch the game where possible and for graphical issues
if they are there, but nice job
