Oh, yeah. There probably have been a few games that have had updates! Aside from orochi's game, I think I still need to re-download mjshi's, Novalux's, and... Mirak's, maybe?

*Edit: You'll have to forgive my absent-mindedness on this matter.

More feedback!

@Red_Nova:
I actually didn't have any difficulty in keeping all the friends alive. Perhaps I was just lucky with the criticals, haha.

@Sooz:
Your game left me asking "What... why?"
I have no idea what the point of that game was, but I had fun running around looking at description text :3

I'm thinking it's because I didn't touch the hit/evade ratio, so there's a decent chance attacks will miss as well as hit. Some people said their first run was a disaster, some otherwise. I suck at game dev in such a short time frame...

U-um... I mean... artistically, the statement I was trying to make was that growing older means that life can throw unpredictable curveballs at you, and some people can breeze through it without much trouble and others have to struggle and lose things they hold dear. Yeah! That's it! I'm totally not making any excuses for myself here. Nope.

- Nice splash screen and title screen, great use of colors and type font.
- Great atmosphere.
- Some sound effects (jump, menu) could be better chosen, since they break the atmosphere a bit by being so RTP generic.
- She makes step sounds! <3
- I can't read the letter if I'm standing north of it?
- For some reason the music stopped playing after a while in the first room.
- Text box graphics look great.
- Detailed small scale mapping, it looks really good!
- Is there a reason for the menu to show level and HP? I'm guessing you couldn't take them out?
- A bug, after I went into the basement, I read the letter and then walked left and then right and the letters appeared again and I was able to examine them again.
- I thought the bee sting excuse was lame :P
- When you leave the house, you can see every division for a brief moment.
- Great music selection!
- I guess there was no music inside the house on purpose so the dramatic effect when we left was greater. Nope, the village music also stopped after playing once :/
- I can walk over some stuff (i.e.: bucket) in the village, which I shouldn't.
- Is there anything to do in village at all? Or is it just a "corridor" for the next map?
- The foliage image in the village was a nice touch, as was the fog.
- Oh, so the shadow can kill you.
- Too bad it ends abruptly, but hey, 3 hours...
- This was quite an enjoyable little atmospheric game :)

Thank you for your review and for playing my game! I'm very happy that you enjoyed it although it wasn't that long... Like you said 3 hours weren't that long to make a well done game... And to be honest i didn't knew it would be that hard... I understimated the challenge ToT I thought that I could have done a very good game, with an entertaining story, good maps, etc... But the time wasn't enough! I spended all the time for the maps and then i noticed that there wasn't any time left for the story and eventing... ToT
I didn't even tested it!!! And there was a huuugeee bug in the previous version!!! Well, i think next time will be better... I hope it at least...
Thank you again for your feedback!

To answer some of your questions...

Marrend played a few more games! Feedback ensues!

Birthday Murder Party
I love how this game, straight up, has Caz admit to doing various nefarious deeds. How can you choose Liberty, with what Caz says?
Poor Nesssy!

Summer Bounty Expedition
There's this one treasure chest that I can't figure out how to get to in the middle-left of the main map, and the cultist always kills me. I'm not sure if having whatever is in that chest will help at all, but, oh well.
Somebody wanted a Wand of Blasting, though!

Alice
Interesting little game, even if the maps were a bit on the empty side. Three characters would do that, though.
I largely suspect the forest loops in on itself. I could be wrong!

Stormblade 2: Sunsword
Darigaaz, I sucked so hard at this quiz. Then again, I didn't look up anything either, so, maybe, 4/9 isn't too bad as far as off-hand info goes.

She Had Fun
I'd almost suggest getting rid of TP Lust entirely, and just have skills cost MP Love. On the other hand, it might not matter in the end.
I'm a bit peeved that Harold's ability can miss, though.
Aside: This is, officially, the first MV game I've played.

Sword of Kings

Hide
- Interesting title screen.

Thanks! I made it in 30 seconds.

- You can ignore the sword and go south on the first map.

This was deliberate. Without the sword, you won't be able to finish the game. Remember earlier in this thread, my inspiration was old NES platformers that were hard as shit.

- A lot of times I can't jump over spikes.

This is a problem with detection. I put the trigger at different distances from spikes to make some easier to anticipate. What's happening is that your character won't jump because he'll land on the spike event. This means you need to move a square closer.

- I can't save when I want?

Saving kind of defeats the purpose of the spikes being able to kill you in three hits.

- So spikes don't take HP, they increase a counter that kills me eventually? So how do I know when I'm about to die?

I didn't have time to come up with something.

- There's text overflow.

Yeah, I know.

- I think you imported the enemy wrong since parts of it are missing.

I...didn't have that problem. Neither did Liberty. Can you post a screencap? Don't play this game through again. It's deliberately obnoxious. Just open it in the editor and do a test battle.

- The battle drags on forever, you could've worked with shorter numbers to make it faster.

Really? When I playtested with the Sword in the Stone, it only took a minute and a half. When I play tested with Excalibur, I could end the fight in three hits? I didn't encounter a scenario where the fight would drag on.

- I didn't get to the lake, because exploring the labyrinth felt like a drag.

Yeah, I thought that might be a thing. That's what happens when you deliberately make a game so bad nobody wants to play it. It kind of bums me out because you missed the Lady in the Lake animation (yes, even deliberately making the game so you'd decide it wasn't worth it, it bums me out). Couldn't you open it in the editor and control/cheat your way to the lake?

- I basically used shift to move around and that seemed to help evade most spikes.

Yes. I noticed this too! I liked that I could do that because it made the game seem that much shittier.

- Could use some gameplay balance, but it was a nice game for 3 hours.

If I could figure out how to get RM2K3 to let you jump into spikes instead of jump detection treating events as impassible objects...but then, it'd let you jump into walls, and that's no good. Can't think of a real way to fix that. As for Lot, he's really balanced for a fight with the Sword in the Stone, and not for anything else. You can't fight him unless you have the Sword in the Stone, and he won't recognize if you only have Excalibur (which is proper to the lore, since Excalibur isn't the Sword in the Stone, and therefore not the symbol of the king, but that has nothing to do with gameplay balance.).

There are two cheats built in game. Activating the torch that's to the right of the Sword in the Stone will increase the death variable for the spike traps to nine instead of three. The torch on the left is a bandage fountain (bandages reset the counter.).

Ok, that makes sense, I tested that now and I feel I would need some more feedback to understand I couldn't end the game because I didn't have the sword.

Some times I needed to move closer, but other times I had to step on the spikes before it would allow me to jump.

It's understandable. Also I'd like to point out that, in your previous post, the "quotes" were screwed around here because you used an original type of code: "/yeah" :P

The invisible color was white, so his eyes and some hair disappeared.
Also, there's 1 pixel below his right arm that should also be invisible.
I notice these things :P

Maybe it felt like it dragged on for me because I had to hit "Attack" over and over, while my HP would decrease and get near 200 (which actually takes some time), then use a potion and do the same thing again and again.

Couldn't you open it in the editor and control/cheat your way to the lake?

I noticed there's 3 entries to the lake, however the only one people will find without hints in the one near it, I'd say.

I watched the animation and battled again with the true sword. It's nice how you added the lore to such a small game (with the guy ignoring you if you don't have the sword in the stone).

The animation looks a bit too slow. But the pixel art works and looks really nice. My suggestion would be to use "battle animations" for these things, that way you can make more fluid animations using pixel movement, and you could still use the pixel art you made.

Well, pianotm, for all it's worth, you're good at making shitty games! ;) :P

It's OK, Make_it_MagiK, game was great, specially for 3 hours! You did a great job ;)

Thanks

Old Gun Dreamland- I can't use the "Z" key?
- Saves are all slot 3! LOL :)
- I like the original graphics and I like the sound effects.
- TOP -> Hair, nice one.
- Also enjoy the way enemies fade when murdered.
- Gam is racist, evry char is white.
...but iddalai, it's a monochromatic game, if characters were any other color you wouldn't see them.
Hum... that's a good point. (this was a joke).
- I like that it's a side scroller.
- The game is pretty trippy, I liked the ending effects and the battles were balanced enough for 3 hours :)

Thanks for your feedback!

In RMXP it uses C instead of Z. Didn't mean to be racist "orz, just went to max contrast and monochrome graphics (actually the system colored text is blue so screw me! didn't noticed! "orz).

And yeah, I wanted a trippy game, and wanted to use all pictures for the ending with SOM AMAZZIN IFFECS!.

Know what I just remembered? I have to give feedback! I plaed gems :^D! Hav a buncha hir on ma sak. Lemme grabbz.

Besiege Wrong sack!
Birthday Murder Partay - Frogge. Ribbit ribbit (I knew from the start that it was Liberty, after all she's the most murderous of all in this place. Hadn't to say anything, she's coming for me!).
Big Minnie in the Tower - Riderx40. I really really really enjoyed the battles, and the animations are awesome! Also the cute small characters.
Iddy's 9th Birthday in RMN - iddalai. Never thought about how difficult was for a 1 to beat a 3, this is why 1 is never higher than 3! But in your game, by giving a 1 the power to grind other 1s... This 1 is going to infinity! Actually to level 99... Damn.
Rock Memo kNife - Jeroen Sol. Rock paper scissors with equipment. I buffed as much as I could my knife because of my murderous intentions. But it was fun :^D! I'm now a champ!
The quiz thing - TungermanU. 4/9, but it was fun! :^D It was interesting, learnt some random things about the site.
Savage Sea Crusade - psywombats. The image of a 9-armed starfish is now burnt into my mind, I actually have to thank you for that because now I can laugh at my please! Mwauhauhauhauhau! Really cool thing for such a short time.
She surely had fun with her lovey dovey - Kloe. I wonder how stalked Harold feels now after you recruited him for your game but nevermind. And I know you two aren't going to do pancakes in home! I know the birds and bees thing!
Sword of Kings - pianotm. Yep, the sword could be missed, wonder how you do against the bad guy without it xD. I don't know what the magical concoctions were for but I believe I would had a better time if I drank them all before the battle. Oh well! Still beaten it. I'm now king! And Champ! And better than a 3!
The Blue Hood - Marrend. I loved the mechanic of charging and that. Though maybe was a little overpowered, poor thugs can't do a sheet to me. Kek! Serves them right!
The Colosseum - aquaricorn. I hate that Thunderous Smite missed 90% of the time for me, and didn't even do so much damage! "orz But it was fun! :^D

Still have quite a lot of games to play, but I'll be doing that...

He'll ignore you if you don't have it. I mean, really. He'll turn his back on you and everything. Total silent treatment.

The potions were for your final fight, in case you're HP got too low. Scrolls of Merlin raised your stats. Bandages reset your spike trap death counter.
