[RELEASE SOMETHING! DAY XIII] FEEDBACK THREAD

Should Hanging On be added to the list of games/gamepages?

I'm going to be real busy tonight, so unfortunately, I'm not going to get to playing any of the games until tomorrow ;_;

@Addit: That's pretty impressive, man. Are you using pictures for every number/letter or can you actually output text for that version of RPG Maker?

@Luchino: I'm not sure when you switched to the larger-style sprite, but it looks pretty rad--really reminiscent of Phantasy Star's sprites. Your mapping always looks stellar.

@Luchino: One thing that hasn't been mentioned up to now is how the smaller oval cliffs should be moved one tile down so that they're not unrealistically cutting into the cliffs. Either that or remove the upper row of cliff tiles so that there's only one.

@Pizza: Photometric feedback.

@Cap_H: Interesting take on the Atari-style graphics, but without a demo to dive into, this is all that can really be said.

@Puddor: May seem harsh, but it needed to be said. Otherwise, sub-par mapping but I like that you animated the face portraits to lend a little realism to the characters speaking.

@DarkFlameWolf: Things got real.

@WCouillard: What's with the long pause before the battle transition starts? Doesn't the cliff along the beach look a little too clean and hand-drawn? The dialog really doesn't seem to have any grip to it and things seem to just happen for plot convenience.

@ janussenpre: Pretty much sums it up.

I'm pretty sure Craze released Super Battle Kiddo Experience! for this event.

That I did! >=|

Pizza - Photometric
Very slick looking graphic style, and I love the logo and the background on the page.

Puddle - Eidolescence
Great art style~ Cloud's busts looks especially well drawn (and the shading <3)

Cap_H - Mace Blue Chapter 3
Another game with a great looking art style! I've never played the other installments, but maybe I should? The image used in the header is especially appealing to the eye. Great use of colours too~

Ebeth - Everything Will be Fine


Corfaisus
The flanked battle style is interesting. Can you only attack the enemies you are facing, or is everyone fair game? I adore the look of the battle HUD. It's simple, but it's got nice colours and font choices and cute icons~ Lovely

Luchino


Housekeeping - Jimmy and Pulsating Mass
That title is GREAT. Are these all custom graphics you made? They really have a lot of character. Best of luck! This project looks ambitious, but in the good kind of way. :) The song is fun too~

MercynMetal
Nice! This is great! I look forward to when the kickstarter goes live. If I were to offer any feedback, it would be to try to track down someone who can match the RTP styles well to broaden the audience of use. But this is awesome just on its own~

AubreyTheBard - The Legend of Zelda: Forgotten Gates


Liberty - Sample Maps
I love that town map. I like how the community feels bigger than what you see with the cut off buildings and farms outside of the walled off portion. It still feels contained for the sake of gameplay (by the wall), but bigger for the sake of the game's world.

Unity - Monsters
UAHHHh!! These are so cute!!! THe sleeping dragon is my favourite, and the sleeping snake. Eee, too cute!! <3 I like the bee with the magic circle too haha and the angry slime!!! Cute!!

Ratty524 - Sprites/Monsers
Wonderful use of limited colours. That skeleton looks especially amazing. xD Especially that expression. Comical but also deadly. The goody bag is also cute, but the eyebrows sorta end up looking like little lumps when zoomed out and distracted me from what the intent was until I read the file name.

sawworm - 10-minute hero


CashmereCat - Account Mu
This game is pretty fun~ Rach and I were tag teaming it. We got stuck in Room 4 though and can't decide if we're just missing something or if it's glitched.


Marrend - Myriad Cypher
Ah, I watched Indrah play an earlier build of this game!
Looks like you've added more missions from the last time I saw it, which is cool :> (also something to say you reached the end of the demo, which I think was one of Indrah's complaints in the stream xD )

Red_Nova - Soul Sunder 2 Prototype
Might be good to remind the player that "Focus" is guard after the Cat-Tutorial tells you that guarding is important. Battle system seems pretty neat, but reading all that tutorial and fighting random battles just wasn't what we were in the mood for right now. The essense drain thing is pretty cool though!

Merlandese - Song
Gah! I keep meaning to play Last Word and just haven't had the time yet. (wanna play it when I'm in the mood to give it my proper attention) Nice tune you've shared today. Looking forward to playing it even more knowing what the music is like. :)

@MakioKuta Thanks for playing my game. Also ahhhhhhh why the heck does that happen! I thought I fixed it from the last build but it keeps popping up and I don't know why it is. I guess I'll be spending some of today trying to fix that bug again. Oh and also, you're right, that's the answer to the puzzle. Thanks for playing :)

author=MakioKuta
Hoo Good to know. We were like "It's the only way!!!" Curse those glitches you stamp out and then come back. :/ I'd like to play more of this sometime! The oil made it really neat to think things through~

It was a simple switch problem. I fixed it in one sec. The problem was when you hit the reset button, I forgot to turn a switch on that would stop all the objects creating their own variables, while I set up the level's global variables. So the order of everything was all mucked up and that caused boxes not to activate switches. At least I think this solved it. Who knows? It might pop up again xD



@Liberty Also, just a minor correction, it's Photometric not Phantometric, although that could be an equally cool name :)

@Pizza - comments on main gamepage and images though I think that probably qualifies more as gushing about eyeball trees than actual feedback. That being said the doorways really remind me of Luna Park, which you probably don't know about as you don't live in Australia, so here's a picture. However the tongue carpet/pathway is inspired. Cash, I can't really say much about your input until I see he puzzles in action, but given your response and my recollection of the area of study I think they are going to be intriguing.

@Puddor - comments also left on game-page, but again, more observations than feedback.

@Marrend - Yes, missions! I liked Myriad Cypher in it's McB build but the lack of missions was a let-down, as well as the obvious combat hooks. I see combat is still not an option in this new addendum but I like the look and feel of the mission interface the simplistic style is just what you need and no more, and it adds a bit of depth and challenge to the game as it stands. I must admit to liking the fact you've indicated both the planet name and Nav point in those updated missions, since it was something I raised in my review :).

@sawworm - review complete, so you'll be getting some of that feedback you're hungering for. I'll link it back here when approved....and here it is.

@unity - those battlers are lovely and I'm intrigued as to what causes the golden halo effect.

@piantotm - I was going to mention something about the exposition fairy taking liberties with introduction of Uiyi but Marrend pretty much nailed my thoughts before I got around to committing them to the page. I believe mixing up the sequence may help, at the very least give it a go, but I think in the end you're going to have to cut down the information dump in that sequence and either find a much more concise way to convey the information your are trying to, or drop it as breadcrumbs throughout the game. Have it used as an explanation for her reaction to certain events for instance, or part of it as a story that is told to clarify something later.


Ok off to check out a few others.
