DECKILLER'S LET'S TRY THREAD

I think it is a circumstantial thing. Many amateur developers abuse the text pauses and it gets annoying. It can be used as a good tool for pacing if used correctly. Then again, even if it used correctly, some of us are still too impatient for anything that remotely hangs up the game. i.e. turbo mode spamm!!

CC is a lengthy game, so if you want to get back to eventually I would of course love to hear more of your comments, but if you don't have the time/have other things you'd rather do, I completely understand!

Thanks for trying out Even Day, Deckiller. You've been really patient with the battle problems. Mainly the battle system is as it is because I was throwing three different ideas around on how I wanted it implemented. And ended up implementing none. -_-;
As far as shops go, you missed the market area in the first town (as well as the shop in the cave community) ^.^ And yeah, there's some maps that are still rather large. I'm working on shrinking them down to normal sizes. Expect the castle to be one of those areas. The demo isn't too much longer, though.

Deckiller, sorry I talked you into playing such a horrible game but you've given me a lot to think about and I thank you for it.

The player was supposed to get most of their money from quests but it seems the early game is extremely counter-intuitive and I should have taken at least effort to prevent that sort of thing as you went in the exact opposite direction I had assumed the player automatically would go.

You also had the blind luck to ran into worst designed monster in the game (simply not worth fighting even for XP) on your first battle. I should have removed or completely redesigned the Dire Chipmunk instead of just making a bad joke in a random NPC dialogue in a town you never even saw on the world map.

A game designer (who knows where all the shiny is hidden) should never assume that a player will do only the expected thing. Thanks for ramming THAT lesson into my skull.

PS that castle still haunts me to this day.

If you wouldn't mind, I would like to play this game. I can't say that I'd LT it, but I just want to give it a go and see how far I get.

If you have time, I'd like to hear your opinions on my game LINUS. Reason being that it's actually a bit similar to Carlsev Saga in terms of it having an emphasis on storyline, so I'd be really appreciative of any feedback you might have. The demo's only about half an hour long.
