wtf with the mapping. You need to sort your mapping skills first before release. Get some practice thats all I can say.

Clock of Atonement

lol thats a good idea lol. fair play but a bit wierd for my taste.

wtf is this for real?

Evania: The Bulan Conflict

eerr...I prefer the anime style for 2d rpg games. But I suppose the new look is somewhat good in a way. Also have you got any screens of the battlesystem. I'm hoping the battlesystem isn't front view but overall it looks good and custom.

eeerrr...where's all the npc's?

What annoys you in a game?

Very true. But if you want to review a game and say what you think fully about it. You must play it till game over or you get stuck. Or die of boredam from the sucky overallness or the shocking ugly mapping. :P

stuff

Well that pretty much covers every game ever made in some way :P

Well no...thats not true at all. Many games out there are good but have thier bad points. I'm just saying what I dislike about some good and some bad games, this is just my opinion. But others will like doing loads of quests and like playing games with like empty maps lol jokes :P. I could play any good rpg game if the storyline was good to certain extent. And the characters are interesting and different to one another and the gameplay and mapping was ok. As long as the game had those features then I would play it without dying on my chair from boredam.

What annoys you in a game?

I've been reading all this mainly to research what people want in rpg games. I'm doing this so that I can make my game appealing to most players. Rpg games are meant to be exciting, adventurous, have tons of Items and Equipment, have some interesting characters you want to know more about and the plot and story should be fantastic and unique. This applies to most traditional rpg games, futuristic rpg games can be diffirent. I'll explain to you now what annoys me in some rpg games and I'm quite sure many of you will agree with a few of my points.

1. I hate pointless rpg's (Rpg's with practically no plot and you battle and adventure for no reason then all of a sudden a bad guy pops outta no where saying mwuhahaha and then you gotta stop he or she.)

2. I hate rpg games with really sucky mapping which either have no detail or are practically empty. This puts of many people from playing the godamn sucky game. >:(

3. I hate it when the difficulty for monsters is challenging to start of the game. (Noobs and newbies would definately agree with me and some might give up straight away. I prefer the difficulty increasing as you progress.)

4. I hate it when a new party member joins your team and has absolutely no reason to or even a relationship with any of your current characters just saying "I'll help you on your journey as I want to stop bandits to". Then game continues and you don't find out why he or she wants to stop bandits or so and so...thats just sad and pathetic.

5. I really hate it when you have to battle a boss as the first monster in the game straight away when some people have no clue how to beat it and the boss is also quite hard. (Newbies would agree with this especially if the game didn't have tutorials)

6. I dislike weak monsters doing crap all damage to you but have like a zillion HP. They just waste a huge bundle of time in the game and aint exactly difficult.

7. I hate it when the plot is about defeating a dragon unless the storyline is fantastic.

8. I'm not a fan of puzzles and get very stressed if they are impossibly hard. I do like simple puzzles though if they aint to difficult and can be fun.(I'd rather have puzzles as optional maybe before you face an extra boss or whatever.

9. I detest rpg games when the classes are to similar or two or more characters have the same class.( Like a Warrior and a Heavy Warrior, which are pretty much same but slightly different only just a tad. Or two of your characters are like ninja's making it absolutely lamo >:(.)

10.I also hate games which have practically no gameplay and the game is basically scenes all the way unless it was made to be like that and the scenes where fantastic like watching a great movie.

11.I hate a pointless plot. Like for some reason a group needs to save the world from the evil sososo...with no reason what so ever with the baddy saying stuff like hahaha I will destroy world and you have no idea why, and how he or she will do it or how the baddy became bad through the game or the history of the baddy and where he or she came from.

12.I really don't like starting the game with a full party as you won't know how the characters met or became friends or whatever. ( Unless you are playing like a sequel or you are playing a dungeun game.)

13. I hate it when the encounter rate is ridiculously hostile. How the heck are you meant to move anywhere. Some people do this to make thier projects last longer which does makes me want to hurt them because they didn't think about how annoying that is >:( I mean for gods sake man, most of those people who do that will probably hate hostile encounters themselves. A good encounter rate would be rmxp default 30 or higher to certain extent unless you are on a special map or something like a small map and it was leading to a boss or something where the encounter rate is very hostile because of a special condition.

14. I hate games that start of with no intro or prologue or even an introduction scene. It sucks just all of a suddenly you start game and you have no idea what or where you are or what you gotta do or where you've gotta go unless it's meant to be like that which usually makes it sucky.

15. I hate having to figure out things yourself without being told help from a cutscene or an npc and searching for where you have to go or what you need to obtain or get and where from. This makes the player loop around for years and many players will even give up at that point.

16. I hate it when monsters give you too much experience and gold making you super strong too quickly.

17. I dislike constant adventuring with little scenes to see...

18. I hate it when the whole story is pretty much summarised at the start and you have to journey off to defeat the big bad boss without any cutscenes or whatever as you progress.

19. I hate it when names from popular rpg's are copied unless it's a remake. (one being cloud of the ff7 game)

20. I dislike basic and simple namess for the main characters. Like james or Dan lol :P unless the characters looked like a james or dan lol and fitted the role or the setting and mood of the game.

21. I hate ridiculously short games lasting like an hour.

22. I hate it when there's no way of coming back to the places you've visited or returning to exploring more into the game. I hate the game being on straight line till you reach end. (A bit like ff10 but at least you get to come back to those area's you explored before.)

23. I hate constant repetative games unless the game is meant to be like that...

24. I hate the fact that the maker was to lazy to test the game before release. (Yoi can find many mistake and problems with your game and even add more to it if you test it out....jeeez)

25. I hate it when the rpg game has bugs. :-[

26. I hate having to spend a year training to be strong enough to advance to next area everytime you reach a new part of the game. :-[

27. I hate it when all the characters are too serious making them all boring and none of them exciting or rude, posh, cocky or even charming. ;D

28. I hate games with loads of quests. I don't like quests that much and like to just play to continue the story unless the quests are based on continuing the story and cutscenes are seen during them.

29. I don't like it that spellcasters like mages can do good or average physical damage. They may as well be a godamn superhero then. >:(

30. I hate games with little items to obtain or use unless it's futuristic. :(

31. I hate it when games focus only on one main character leaving little knowledge of the other characters and why they are there to help or whatever bullcrap.

32. I hate games where you can't change the equipment. You may as well not have an equipment menu then.

33. I hate overpowered characters which you get towards the games end and you do super damage with them making completing game to easy.

34. I hate games where all the characters are pretty much boys or all of them are girls. The game should have a mixture of the both.

35. I hate games with practically no status affects. Makes the battle all about who does more damage than who making it sucky!

36. I hate games with a frontal view battlesystem like rmvx unless you could see your characters facing the enemy from third person point of view. (unlike rmxp where characters are looking at you >:(.

37. I don't like forced super long tutorials as some rpg pro's may already know how to play the game and will want to skip and not need them. The tutorials should be kept simple and easy to understand. Bigger tutorials can be put in the manual for the really thick players jeeez lueezz...

38. I hate getting stuck on a boss. You may be to weak to defeat it and there is no way of getting stronger because where you saved the game there is no way of going back to train to become strong enough to face it. ARRRGGHHH then you have to restart the whole bloody game and make sure you are prepare for that part.

I could go on forever but I'd probaby bore you to death. I hope some of you didn't die in your chair listening to me yap on...
