Trash Planet - Release Reflection and Update

Hey, how's everyone holding up out there? Thought I'd post an update here since Trash Planet has been out for about two months, having been released on September 4th, 2020.

Here's where I stand on downloads:
RMN: 129
Itchio: 104
Gamejolt: 6 (lol)

I've got a few ratings on Itchio (mostly 5 stars) and one review here on RMN so far (4 stars). I've got a fair number of comments as well, mostly positive, and some with constructive criticism about the game.

Speaking of constructive criticism, I'm thinking of making an update to the game. This updated "Final Edition" will be the version I upload to Steam. I've already paid the fee to upload to Steam, but I wanted to essentially upload the Alpha version to RMN and Itchio for free. That way, just in case there was anything that my testers missed, hopefully you all would find it. I figure that after I change some things for the Final Update, and then playtest it a bit more with the changes, I should be able to make the game super polished, and would be comfortable uploading it to a paid service like Steam.

Some things that I'm already going to include in the Final Edition:
* More items
* More enemies
* An additional town to explore
* More cutscenes with the different party members
* Minor balance changes
* Change to the font, since RPG Maker apparently doesn't like Pixel-y fonts on certain displays and set ups.

Things I'm not changing:
* The overall flow of the story / the things that happen in the story
* Any of the characters that already exist in the game
* Hardly any of the pre-existing graphics
* Any of the music, but I might add more

I've had some people complain about the graphics, but, that's just the way it is. I draw all the graphics myself (all the "Trash Planet" graphics, that is... Spoilers) so that I don't have to pay an artist to make them. I also don't want to use stock RPG Maker graphics. The graphics stay, like it or not. ;-)

If YOU have played Trash Planet and can think of anything I should include in the Final Update, let me know! Keep it constructive. This is a one-man operation, after all. You can comment below or send me a DM if you don't feel comfortable posting it or if it has to do with spoilers.

The graphics are part of the game's charm. You are correct in asserting that you shouldn't change them.

I'm still very early in the game, so I don't have any suggestions yet. If you're still looking for fonts, White Rabbit has a nice future look, is 100% free to use and is pretty easy to read. Found it in my big folder of downloaded fonts and thought of this game ^_^

That is a good font! I'll throw it in there and see how it looks
