DYHALTO'S PROFILE

The best point he makes is that big industry games are high on graphics and low on fun, lending to a single playthrough and forgetability, hence why people are quick to part with their games at the local trade-in.

Tyranos wants his desert back.

wltr3565: You had the same problem as an other guy. You have the RTP from the RPG Maker VX ACE installed? If yes, go to the directory that it is installed and make a copy of the tileset INSIDE C and rename it to TileE. That'll do the trick. I've already fixed that, since there's a few people with this same problem.

I don't know about that. I had the same problem, and had to apply the fix you mentioned.

Anyway, I played and liked it. It's full of RPG cliches and the gameplay is grindy, but the feudal Japan flavor + Fox sells it. It's one of those games I'd probably play through to completion just for those reasons alone. Keep at it :)

Here's a small list of thoughts...
-Some letters are cut off by the current font. It doesn't make it unreadable though.
-What does make it unreadable at times is the major lack of punctuation. Get your dialogue a second opinion!
-Personally, I think the fanfare music doesn't follow the battle theme very well. It's kind of jarring.
-I'm not a fan of having to equip the pickaxe to use it, but after being swarmed by enemies while banging away at minerals and having to fight them with it equipped, I can see why you have it that way.
-Torches don't help very much. A bigger light radius would be nice. Even if it's just one tile more.
-The love angle developed too quickly. With a little subtlety, you could make it blossom more convincingly.

It's not a very believable map, but I can live with that.

The RTP portraits are meh, but maybe that's just my personal opinion. You should either find a good artist, or a good source of replacements.

The abstracts were laid on a bit thick at the start, almost to the point of "oh no, pretentious bullshit", but I was well into it by the time I got to Elise's mirror. No issues after that.

And there weren't enough battles to gauge my thoughts on them. If you stick to the limited items and limited healing though, I can see a problem with players winding up trapping themselves.
