RONOVE'S PROFILE

You can't please everyone with regards to if you indicate items/interactables or not! I had a lot of complaints early on when I didn't point them out and I love that I'm getting grumbles that they're pointed out now. :) Oh well! Not much I can do.

Thanks for playing. Sorry it doesn't seem to be completely your cup of tea, but thanks for liking what you did. If you enjoyed the story and like reading, there is a prequel novella (although really, it's in its own continuity at this point b/c I had to change stuff) that greatly expands on what I introduced here. I also plan to rewrite the game as its own novella to further expand on some of the things you touched on with regards to the story.

Story is ever evolving!
Anyway, thanks again for playing.

Only problem I had is that I kept pressing Shift to run, but sometimes during dialogues, it opens the config/option screen.

Oh no! I hadn't considered that! I wanted to try to give all the buttons in the dialogues a shortcut in case for whatever reason someone didn't want to use a mouse. I forgot Shift can be weird to use since holding it to dash and all. Live and learn, I guess!

I am glad that as a whole you seem to have enjoyed it! I wanted to tell a simple story using tiles I used often at the beginning of my RPG maker adventure and I finally got that chance with this, so I'm glad you enjoyed what I put together aesthetically.

but not that it copied that game

If he said that I would have asked him to look at when the games were released in relation to each other (mine was first, hence the initial confusion--I don't really see many reviews comparing an older game to a newer one (granted they are both old, but SSP is one year older)). I just found it odd because my game was released first and that one after and I usually don't hear of reviews comparing a game made in 2012 for example to something made after it in 2013. Usually it's the 2013 game being compared to the older one. So that's on me. I find it odd but again, you write however you want to write. For me, I wouldn't review something and compare it to Free Spirits because they both happened to have some kind of ghosts. But that's just me and just semantics at that point.

If you don't get the cornet or the mask at the start, you find them in the town after the first boss. IP really means Item Points but Injury Points works, I suppose. One thing I would do if I went back to redo the game is to adjust the bosses a bit more. I'm not a fan of how constricted RPG Maker is when trying to make a unique boss (I'm learning this more and more as I'm making a new game and if I tried this in SSP I would have frustrated myself out of making a game at all.) and I feel that definitely shows in SSP because it largely falls more into RNG than I would like, but c'est la vie at this point.

I'm confused why you compare it to a game that came out after my game did (wouldn't it be the other way around? :P), but it's your review I suppose. I think it would be better to compare it to a game that came out at around the same time as my game did. The whole "magic-as-science" comment confuses me as well since I didn't think I made any connections with science and magic. It was supposed to be structured similar to a fairy tale, so I'm just confused.

I also am having trouble figuring out why it's 3.5/5. You say "but the star-score I'm giving it on here is in context of the type of games posted on rpgmaker.net. " but that doesn't make sense? I mean sure, you didn't like the bosses and that's fine, but is that what the star score is based on or?

Thank you for the review.

It needed to be said?

What do you think a lot of people have been SAYING for the past 5 pages?

Yes, some people have said the reviewer needs to learn how to play games, but there are multiple people who have said that no, everyone shut up this reviewer can review however he wants. You coming in here after the fact, after the stuff blows over, to add the LAST opinion is really really ludicrous. Did you read the other five pages?

Also, sleep never misses Lorel. It won't miss on the first try unless VX really likes to screw over how I set everything up.

Just please, let the conversation die. What's been said has been said for the past five pages.
