My god, that was good.

I played the demo and everything was well put together. The lighting, the mapping, the background sounds - EVERYTHING!

I truly admire your eventing skills, you nailed everything spot on. You made it humorous and tense at the same time. I loved it so much.

It may have been short, but it was absolutely perfect in all ways possible.

10/10

Thanks for trying out the demo Lustermx! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have to say it's really nice to see everything come together after testing bits and pieces of the game over and over, and finally play it all the way through. Hopefully you'll stick around and try the game out as I post more chapters!

Ok so I've played through the demo and I have to say that I find it really great! I'll be really happy to see further updates on it! 

Petula's plea of wanting to stop the dastardly 'heroes' and their thievery of her necklace is great. ;D I like the amazing eventing you did, and the overall feel of the minigames is great. I think that if you build on what you have, you can make some truly gratifying sections to your gameplay. The polish is great too, and honestly it's a very important thing to me too. I'm glad I decided to try it out, honestly.

Looking forward to full release~

Eeeexcellent.

I was recommended to try this game by SomaelCK, and the first thing that caught my attention was the name of the game.  Very interesting and unique perspective to make a game from. I've never seen anyone create one from a NPC's point of view at all. I must say, I'm pretty impressed. 

The intro and the characters' dialogues are absolutely hilarious  :guffaw:  And the gameplay is interesting as well - not the usual battle, dungeon-crawling, save the world type. I really enjoyed running to the top of the tower. 

 However, I got stuck at the part where you have to warn everyone and escape in the dark with nothing but the lightning to guide you. Maybe you should make it a bit lighter?  :unsure:

Overall, very unique and creative  :)   I recommend this to others as well and I look forward to seeing more of the game. Good luck!  :thumbsup-right:

Thanks so much for trying the demo guys.
@SimplestChaos I'm glad you enjoyed it, hope I won't disappoint with the next few chapters.

@HaruAkira Thanks so much! Was the city too dark? Nobody else seems to have that issue, the lightning was there mainly for polish and effect, not as a guide for escaping the town (though that's a very interesting mechanic  :D   )
Would you mind showing me a screenshot of how your run through looks like?

An update to those who have tried the game and are waiting the upcoming chapters, and to those who have yet to try the game.

I've recently finished a major puzzle and am well on my way through Chapter 2 of You Are Not The Hero! Here are some screenies that may whet your appetite.

'That cake is a lie"?

Wow, Petula -- Wow. You are so not the hero!! THE CAKE IS NOT A LIE - THAT PIZZA IS SO A CAKE.

Just kidding.

Very much looking forward to this!!

Thanks Amarysse, hope you'll be able to give it a try!

Minigame map, boulders will fall and you may get crushed!

I tried the game, and all I can say is "Dat Scripts...". But, the demo is too short, and I want to play the rest of the game badly. Keep up the good work!

I almost forgot, I didn't notice the "grammaratical" errors XD.

haha not sure which script you're talking about, I assume the escape event where you alternate left and right? That's pure eventing~

I meant everything! But yeah, that one caught my eye. I thought that one is a script too

Ooo, this looks interesting! I'll bookmark this for when I get tired of working on the second part of my game. :D

(Although, even without playing it, I can tell that you have put a lot of effort into this game. The eventing for that left/right sequence has to be fairly complex.) :)

Thanks! I really need to update the screenshots, those are fairly old now. Yeah the eventing for that =_= The planning for it made it seem waaaay easier. I just forgot how roundabout you have to go with eventing compared to scripting.

Really interesting way of avoiding the enemies, I love the way the NPCs scatter when you press spacebar on them! :)

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
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
