What Silver Shows

[Udlice]

Wow. Great job !

Well, I don't know what I can say about it... But really, this is amazing ! I loved it.

I'll try to write a full impression later.

(Bug : Just after the 3d sequence, when the player wakes-up, If you go in and out of the appartment, the map bug. Also, if you go ou of the building, you see the olds cutscenes.)

 

[KanaX]

I am aware of the old cutscenes but thank you Hope you get to play a little more! Be sure to use the walkthrough if you want because the puzzles may be a little rough, still

 

[Udlice]

Ah sorry. I will play again tomorrow and will give a full impression then.

And thanks for the quick reply.

EDIt : Just wrote it but miss-clicked and lost everything.

I'm gonna write it again soon.

This sounds like an interesting game, I might  take it for a test drive. I will let you know what i think when I do.

Thank you! I think I fixed it but there MIGHT be a bug when you try to exit the apartment building a third time. There's no reason for you to do that, so I'd suggest you don't try it

@Udlice Take your time

Just let me know when your  game is ready to test, I will gladly try it out. 

I am developing my own game entitled Noctal Key, it is still early in development. However, I have art for the game if you are interested.

Having more than 2000 views, I think I should celebrate. *pops single party cracker*

Custom Items/Save/Load menu will be uploaded within the week + an enhanced  introduction.

Sorry, I was very busy lately so it took me some time to write it again.

I really liked the game, and I can't wait to see the final result.

Graphics :

I think the graphics are one of the best thing in your game : There is a lot of animations, artworks, busts, light effects, custscenes, custom title screen and menu, a 3D view and a lot of maps are parallaxed... When you play the game, you don't really notice there is still some RTP, so it look quite professional. Moreover the graphics, are creating a really dark and scary atmosphere, making the game very immersive. Though, Sometime, you can't see anything at all because the screen is too dark and it's hard to play when you can't see anything.

Musics :

The musics are really great and creates a good atmosphere too. They fit your game very well.

Story :

I liked the story as well, and  the dialogues are well written but I think it could be even better, with for example more original and complex characters to make it even more interesting and surprising.

Mapping :

The mapping is really awesome, especially the parallaxes, even if there is problems you will need to correct on some maps. Though, be carefull with light effects and parallaxes, it slow the game, and sometimes, they are not necessary. My computeur is really slow, and it was sometime a pain to play with thees lags.

Eventing :

The cutscenes, menus and the title screen are working fine, good job.

Puzzles:

It's the part I disliked the most in your game. They are way too difficult and painfull too solve. For most of them I had to read your walktrough to solve them. That's not normal. I souldn't have to stop playing and open my browser to solve a puzzle. This completely break the atmosphere.

( By the way, here is a great tutorial about puzzles : http://blog.rpgmakerweb.com/tutorials/how-to-design-a-good-puzzle/ )

Even if almost all the puzzles themselves in your game are bad designed, the eventing is very great, though.

Overall, It's really a good job you did here, but it's not perfect and I hope you will improve it. Good luck !

You MUST. You will not be disappointed, of this I can assure you.

 

[KanaX]

@Uldice Thank you for the great review! It is true that the puzzles can be a bit tricky (especially my early ones like the ones on the demo). They are really a controversial topic between my reviewers. That's why I had the Thoughts systems AND I will add the new item descriptions today! I hope they help a bit more.

 

[That Bread]

This game was an involving experience, and had a scary atmosphere too.

I did see some glitches, not game breaking though and I didnt write them down. One thing I remember is the light switches within the apartment complex sometimes didn't work... I dont know if it was because I had fun spamming them or what.

Another thing is the end of the demo just when the mirror shatters? Because my game just closed after that part.

Overall I think you've got a great game! Keep it up.

 

[KanaX]

@CorneredCosmos Open the game again. I was kinda hoping no one would play until I upload the new demo, but still try to have fun!

 

[That Bread]

@kanax ooooh oops! I didnt know there was another one to be uploaded... well I will try it again sometime.

 

[KanaX]

@You can continue the demo if you open the game again just fine. But the new demo has lot's of issues worked out and also some extras features and scenes.

• Demo has been updated.
• Two critical bugs have been fixed along with some minor bugs.

I'll be going on a hiatus Until the 1st of July. I need to grieve for the loss of 1 month worth of work and study for my finals. I hope you have a good fortnight.

I feel your pain, buddy...  

Be strong. You can and will come back better than ever, and you will dazzle us all.   We'll help you with anything you might need.

Hmm... reminds me of The White Chamber. The game's interesting and the art style is nice, but OMG the lag! It runs worse than Final Fantasy XIII-2 on my laptop (4 FPS on your game, around 10FPS on the other). If you are using Khas' Lighting Effects, you may need to update. Otherwise get either an Anti-Lag script or Effectus, since I can't play it like this.

EDIT: I almost forgot, try to contact Archeia. She may be able to decrypt your game and recover your project files.

 

[KanaX]

I recently bought Effectus to be honest. I'm not sure if it's in the demo or not. Most people can run the game fine, but I have heard of lag issues. Sorry for the inconvenience!

The lost data is lost for good. I checked every alternative. Either way, I have just finished catching up. Thank you for the interest though!

 

[Inmento Riku]

So I just downloaded the newest update and got through the puzzles (I love a challenge and this was just what I needed)

I'm wondering if I'd be allowed to do a playthrough/review everytime an update comes out? I need some new videos for my new channel, my old one was deleted DX, and this would be the best way to start.

Also...full text review to come soon.

Sincerely, 

Inmento Riku
