That caste update looks super cool. It might be worth putting in a "is this really the person you are?" choice at the end to let people go back and redo if they get stuck with a gameplay style they don't like, but in general I love it when games assign some of your attributes based on who you are as a person. It reminds me of Ogre Battle.
Anyway, more feedback incoming.
-Bug: Asking Fami for help with settings causes him to say "Here you go!" and then do nothing.
-Bug: Fami's explanation of the Making Circle flashes images at you for a fraction of a second, but doesn't actually let you look at them.
-There's no run button? The walkspeed feels really slow, and an autorun would be very welcome.
-CRASHBUG: Went into the wonderbox, went left, File Graphics/Characters/199-Support07 was not found. This issue repeats when you go right or straight ahead as well.
-The making system feels restrictive. It makes you walk up to the correct master, choose the correct rank and formula, and then assemble it according to those specifications. Compared to just throwing a pokeball, that all feels like needless clutter. Just opening up the making circle, selecting a formula, and having the game plug in the right components if you have them feels like it would make more sense and be easier to code.
-NO PROGRESS BUG: I finished making and it spawned me back in inside the wall on the left. I cannot escape. My journey ends here.
-Similar to the making system, the 'world map' feels weird and restrictive. Like, it first asks you if you want to go back into the place you just left, and then you have to say no before you can pick through a menu of other places.
-Bees in the forest deal 67 hp and poison on a single attack. My tiny sun thing deals 13 hp. First battle I encountered was unwinnable and I died on the first turn.
-Bug: I spawned back in on the southeast exit outside of Rico's hut, but I died two steps out of the forest entrance.
-CRASHBUG: From Rico's hut, went right, then down, then left, and as I was leaving the screen with the bunnies and the bridge to the south, I got the following: File Graphics/Characters/169-Small11 was not found
-Bug: From Rico's hut, walking southeast, you only have to walk to the edge of the screen to move to the next screen. However, from that new screen, if you walk up, you have to hit 'confirm' to move back to the first screen.
-Bug: Walking into Rico's hut causes you to appear in the hut right at the counter, rather than in the doorway.
-NO PROGRESS BUG: selecting Rico's Remember game, then easy difficulty, gets you the game explanation, but then you're stuck with no way to interact with it and you can't escape out of it. The card game is forever.
-Oh, wait. SECONDARY BUG: You can go into your menu screen from Rico's Remember game.
-Bug: Interacting with the bunny prompts a fight before you get your inspiration, but it's not a fight with a bunny or anything like that. Also the inspiration text says "a/ 618 was inspired". Also the game hits you with another fight and does the same a/ 618 message and gives you a different formula. And then it hits you with a third fight. And in the gameover screen caused by that third fight, after Fami finishes his message, you get the text "what a cute bunny".
-Bug: south of your grandpa's house, the lake has a passability problem on its northwestmost tile
-Haha, oh my god. That earlier crashbug was actually a no progress bug, because there is currently no way out of the forest once you go deep enough in, because trying to come back out crashes the game. I'll reload from an earlier save and try again later.
