First Demo Prototype!

We've been doing a lot of work on RECIDIVIA. Along the way, we have made changes to the overall vision for the game. We decided to share with the community free demo of the first prototype. The Prototype doesn't feature everything planned for the game. Think of this prototype as a floor plan for a bigger plan down the road.

Enjoy the RECIDIVIA prototype demo.

Played the short demo. Here are some thoughts:

Spoiler

-Really nice character art and cool looking characters
-You must be big fans of Guts
-Good mapping

-There were multiple cases of small spelling/grammar mistakes
-In the intro map dialogue one letter 's' was clipping outside the text box
-In the first cave map you could walk into a blue mushroom on the left side

-The magical attack of the cyborg(?) enemies did barely any damage

-I wouldn't display the item finding message every time if there are multiple items to be picked up on a single map/room
-The boss was kind of brutal. I had to load an earlier save and run past enemies without using any of my healing items, saving them all for the boss, and even then I barely beat it with one character dead and the other with some 50hp remaining
-Would have been cool if you got healing items from killing enemies or if there was a healing spell
-The battles felt kind of plain in the demo, since you only had the protect ability and one spell, and the enemies weren't animated and it just used the basic hit animations. The battles didn't feel on the level of polish of the graphical aspects of the game.

But yeah, you have some cool characters and good visual presentation. Seems like an interesting project. Good luck!

Hii, I played your demo and I'm very impressed, you managed to make me like the characters and be curious about the story in a very short time. The banter between the three friends close to the beginning is pretty clever, I can't wait to see more interaction between them!

Here's a few more of my random thoughts that came up while I was playing:

Spoiler

- Gameplay/battles pretty basic so far but I'm sure it'll get better later in the story.
- It's funny that the buff wolf people were so easy compared to the little doggo at the end.
- Mapping looks nice!
- Love the character busts with expressions, makes it more fun to see them interacting when they're so well drawn. Also because all the boys are skimpy. XD
- My biggest complaint is that is was so short, I want to see moooore!

Screen Shot Saturday!
When you make all the right calls but you need a lighter tough.

Just tried out your demo on Mac, it was really fun !!

Thoughts:
[ISPOILER]
- The title screen option for "Load Game" seems to have been slightly undercropped (screenshot below)

- The art was really well done for the characters !!
- I'm a sucker for Onyx's design. The hair split .. very memorable + cool looking !!
- There were a few minor grammar errors but nothing too glaring
- The cutscenes were very well done !!
- Also liked the title screen music!
- Battle felt a bit plain but I assume it'll be improved in the final product
- There were loading circles between cutscenes but they didn't last very long
- Story was interesting! Overall a fun demo!

P.S. I hope this shows up as a spoiler button, not sure how everyone else is doing that TT__TT

Remove the first 'I' and it should work. Correct syntax is [spoiler*][/spoiler*] (without the * of course).

The Simple Life
What’s the best way to set the mood?

A sweet sound!

We’re so excited to share an original song from the Recidivia Soundtrack. A calm, soothing, relaxing melody. We call it “The Simple Life.”

Thank you to Augusto Mazzoli for creating this beautiful song! We look forward to more.

l didn't bother to make a full video because this was one of the most horrendous combat system ive seen but everything else looks good. just let me know when your battles are better

What did Onyx do? Or what did Syl do?

Angel Grace! The Goddess' blessing on mankind.

Why Become A Cleric?​

When you become a Cleric, you turn your back to a life of freedom. You dedicate your entire existence to worshiping the Goddess for the sake of mankind.

 

[1ManArmEStudios]

Magic Healing Circles​

Caves, forests, and fields can be a long hike. And the monsters that roam them pose a serious threat. Fortunately, Syl can make use of any Magic Circle he finds to heal his comrades. It's always good to have a Cleric by your side.

so instead of working into fixing your battle system you do a quick print screen with a description similar to the dialogue to artificially bump your thread every week. theres a reason why there are 0 screenshots of the battle system, and it doesn't help you out as most players will quit the game after a few of these. gonna unfollow this game now, take care.
