RATTY524'S PROFILE

No biggy. While I'm doing quite a bit of experimenting with this, I still want a game others will enjoy. Thanks again.

I just played Super Mayro Bross today. Holy shit that was horrible.

You're all forgetting XP's Aluxes, lol..though I vote Ralph~ :3

Aluxes is a pussy bitch, Alex is THE RTP hero!

Zack is the coolest.

Somehow I'm not surprised this is a total slam. ('^_^ )

-The music is…ugh. At least the very first theme.

author=Indra
-Oh wow…ok, the music is…I’m not sure it fits the cutesy pixel style. It’s too…full? I’m not entirely sure, it’s just a bit mismatched.

The one of the title or the castle?
I was kind of envisioning this to be a bit more like the Sega CD or early SNES port games which have a cleaner soundtrack, to explain the music choices. I could easily replace it with something more 16-bit, though.

-While I suspect this is due to simply lack of time, the mismatch of charming pixel style and plain rtp is rather jarring.

Exactly the case. I want this to be a fully custom game in terms of visuals, but I didn't have the time to overhaul everything before the RSW release dates, so I tried to make the best of it for the sake of releasing something playable. Not surprised.

-Player sprite seems a bit bulky and “complex” for the environment’s simplicity, but it’s nothing glaring.

It was an attempt at making the character stand out from the environment.

author=Indrah
-The continuous beeping when you run into interactive options is a bit irritating. It’d be ideal if it beeped once only, or even once every X seconds with a delay.

Got it. I'll fix that.

author=Indrah
-Omg, I read OreO XD (most delicious character of the team, I’m going to guess).

Lol! I'm kind of considering on changing his name anyway (if you spell it backwards...), but I have no ideas right now.

author=Indrah
-Also not major nitpick, but the font is slightly too “smooth” for the simpler pixels.

Already replaced. I did warn that the RSW demo is heavily unpolished. :P

author=Indrah
-The waits in text when inspecting things get old quick. :< They get in the way after the first couple times.

Would you prefer something akin to Dragon Fantasy: Heroes of Tsufana where the text are mostly just quick, to the point one-liners?

author=Indrah
-The text is…odd sometimes. I’m not a native English speaking so I may be wrong here (sorry if that’s the case) but some of the stuff the chars say is not medieval, while it SEEMS (I THINK) you want them to speak sort of medieval-style. At times it just sounds off, but this could be just me.
-Honestly, what’s with the dialog? The tone and words keep going all over the place, it’s more jarring that if you just used “normal” words all the time x.x
-This went from medieval to pirate talk quite fast :x
-Maybe I’m wrong, but the constant use of “me” instead of “my” makes me think of pirates XD
-Ok, the writing is just getting ridiculous now :/

I admit the dialogue was about as rushed and poorly researched as a lot of things in the demo, but I'm glad you're telling this to me now as oppose to much later when I've released a disappointing attempt at a polished demo. I think I'll take your advice in "normalizing" the dialect of the writing, since I can see where you are coming from in that it's mismatched and odd.

-The captain’s death isn’t really very convincing. The knight has no reasons to be as attached as he acts :x

Can you elaborate on this?

author=Indrah
-Captain ARMOS’ parcel? Wasn’t it Stratos?

That's not the only place where there's a typo/mistake in this demo. And I thought I removed his original name from existence. >_>

author=Indrah
-I got killed by a dog? Woah. :<

The Wild Dog might be too overpowered. The attack damage reduction it does to you is massive and it hits harder. I'll nerf it for sure, or maybe just remove it from the area because its more of a gimmick-based enemy compared to Imps and Mawgrubs.

author=Indrah
-The balancing seems pretty shifty. I can kill enemies in one hit with the Mp skill, but if try to conserve mp and use normal attacks I get killed :/ And levels don’t restore Mp, so I’m pretty much fucked either way.
-Ugh, I can’t even rest at the abandoned hosue? Come ooon :<

Ouch. I'd say the biggest mistake I made with that area was not putting enough recovery options. I'll take your advice on levels restoring health and mana, though.

author=Indrah
-Why is green hair girl’s sprite wearing a modern cap… x.x

Mainly to reference real world/modern day boy scout organizations. It may look too out of place, though.


So yeah, I really thank you for giving your feedback, and I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy this. I'll take everything you said to mind when making a new release. :)
