Just finished up the demo for Secret of Cypressa so went ahead and added it to RMN =] It's a bare-bones demo but it takes you all the way to the first boss - perhaps it a little less than an hour long. It's essentially Chapter One without the commitment of saying it's done - because it's not. I'd really love some feedback on it while I begin sprucing it up and polishing the nooks and crannies.
Edit: Just added the browser version too for those who would prefer that.

These are the things I still want to do with the game (besides, like, finish it).
Thanks for the help, guys!

I'm really interested in:
- How terrible are the random encounters? I had them as evented monsters at first but couldn't find charactersets I liked for later in the game. I also couldn't figure out how "Weight" worked - they're all at either 5, 10, or 20. I didn't know if the higher the weight, the more you'll encounter, or the higher the weight, the more steps on average before hitting a monster. RNG is a fickle foe - I couldn't see a difference. Let me know! Haha
- How is the battle? Do the enemies deal too much dmg? Too little? It's challenging to be without a healer for so long, but Saving Statues recover all, and monsters will typically drop food. I was able to get through to the end without difficulty as long as I was smart with my food.
- Where are the slow moments? Literally when the animation / walking speed is too slow? Long story about that: there's a bug with using 144hz monitors causing the games to become incredibly fast (if you blinked, you'd miss something). I set all of my events to x4 Slower in order to make them look normal. Later I fixed the speediness with a plugin and had to go back and change my events to "Normal." If you see anything that seems abnormally slow, let me know. It's probably something I forgot.
- I'm interested in other things too but for the life of me I can't think of anything else.

- I do want to get rid of the random encounters and definitely add evented graphic monsters instead, but I need to find some good charactersets first
- Add more lore and areas around Cypressa for people to click and read about (ie: the grave yards). Right now there really isn't anything to click. Sorry!
- Add Yanfly Battle Sequences to the skills so they're not so boring =] This might take me a while though...
- Either parallax map or draw my own tilesets - right now everything is default RTP editor-style. Prettier maps will come later.
- Custom icons is on the list too.
- Fix up the skill formulas - they're too iffy right now
- Probably other things too! =D
Thanks for the help, guys!
