ADON237'S PROFILE

I have changed much about Diabolica since the demo was released, so many of these issues I hope will be re-assessed when the full game comes out!

At most, the demo was a tech demo, just demonstrating my little progress made so far, and I am afraid a star ranking will deter people away from a game that is still early in the development process. As such, I will respond to the issues mentioned in the review!

The tech demo does not have the introduction, which I don't do until I have progressed far enough into the story to feel comfortable making yet. I feel like I should have emphasized that nothing is final or complete.

The enemy in the introduction was thrown in there from a list of enemies you already encountered, in the current game that monster is dummied down stat wise and the status inflicting ability is less likely to work, so the battle is much easier.

I will mention the diary and notes a little more prominently, thank you for that advice! I was wondering if anyone would find that.

I plan on adding more scenes for character development on top of the already existing ones because I have spent a lot of time developing their personality concepts and I don't want that to go to waste, so there is no need to worry about lack of character development.

There are different types of Touch Encounters, Passive Encounters are one of them. I will introduce the Aggressive Encounters earlier for gameplay sake, but I thought they'd be a little too soon for that part considering you will have to take those paths more than once.

Overall, thank you for this feedback! I am excited to get some after so much time has passed!

(There are a lot more optional characters below Episode 4? Do I need to look around the splices?)

Oh my freaking god, are you serious? Did I get like, denied or something in this contest? I have most of a review ready for this. -.-

I think it is time for a new review :)
And as far as I know, the missing files problem has been solved!

You're welcome, aha. I'm hoping you don't see me as a bitch because of this, because though it's difficult to express in pixellated text, I do actually like this game so far.

It's not a piece of junk; the thought you've put into the world and characters is clear and particularly well done, all things considered. It was simply a case of it could have been executed better, which, hopefully, my review helped you with!

Do you have any idea what's wrong? Are the files in your version of the game, but not copying over into the download, or...?

With people disappearing and appearing anywhere, I mean kind of the same thing as with dialogue: Ralph just vanishes once his dialogue is over, as do quite a few people; after defeating the first Treant, Abraxas walks north instead of south and somehow winds up back home; when Jade and Rose are talking to Abraxas and Savyon, before the fight, they're nowhere to be seen even though they're taking part in the conversation; the same happens again with Storm and Justin in the Earth Stone's chamber.

Also I know I should have completed the puzzle to remove the spikes in the Midsel mountain, but I didn't, so the platform was the only way for me to move on and, of course, I couldn't! I didn't even think of the spikes, actually... taking them out of the picture would've been much easier than scripting an alternative. Damnit.

Regardless, I'll download the final final demo now and play through it when I get home. Thanks for reading the review and hearing me out, you're a star!

Thank you. I don't see you any different. This review has helped the game sooo much already. The people disappearing is me being lazy, which will be fixed in the full game. Well, incidentally, you should have completed the puzzle to get past it in the first place, not take the platform, which I will deal with that later. With a bugfix.
