Download available, anything to say?

Well, I mean, the download has been available for awhile, I just wanted to make sure that was clearly marked. Anyway, I have 44 downloads so far, but only two posts. What do the folks who have played it have to say, is it horrible, should I keep working on it, do you have any questions, suggestions? Do you have absolutely no idea what's going on in the story?

What I have planned for the future of this game...

- Weapons and items suitable for a steampunk engineer (grenades, magical-technology, gatling guns, etc.)
- A complex mythology and background for the game-world, all revolving around the mysterious scar
- Story splits between characters (already demonstrated in the demo)
- Demonic and aberrant enemies
- Final Fantasy esque magic, black, white, red, blue, geomancy, and dependent on summon like entities called familiars

i am playing this now, i have some questions...

1) is English your first language? no offense is meant, but your written dialogue in the game straddles the line between a great effort by a non-native English speaker/writer and a poor effort by a native English speaker/writer. i'm just curious which it is.
2) how long is the demo?

i intend to soldier on to completion of the demo and then review this, i have lots to say, but if you're eager to hear feedback i could just tell you some quick thoughts right now instead, some positive, some critical. either way i just want you to know that someone is playing this and formulating an opinion on it.
it's pretty typical, on RMN at least, to not get much feedback. 50 downloads isn't very much in that regard. the same way that 5~ days isn't very long.

consider that some{most?) of the downloads are coming from users who don't have accounts and therefore never post.
I too have played a little bit and there's a couple of pointers I could give you.

Visually, I think you should probably play other games on this site for inspiration and maybe use the forums for guidance. As is right now, the game looks very unappealing and I can barely tell what anything is.

The dialouge and story is, as mentioned above, on the verge of being pretty good and pretty terrible; there's two reasons for this, as I see it. First off, use the entirety of the textboxes. Each line should not be comprised of three words.

Second off, the setting is usually pretty decently explained and some of dialouge is passable but it seems like you wrote half of this at two completely separate occasions (or you wrote it all in one night and got so tired you really didn't proofread anything).

i reviewed.

i think this goes maybe 10% too far. i would say this game has some major graphical consistency issues. i wouldn't say everything looks like an abstract blob of shit that cannot be interpreted.
