Monster World Legends

Excellent news. I'm just glad to see this game still going after all these years :)

It's nice to see that this game is getting updated. I came across it like two weeks ago when I was looking at the 'Top Rated Games' section on the homepage. I refreshed a lot since it randomly generates what games it's showcasing. It's better than sifting through dozens of pages by using the search bar. Gems are not always indicative by how many downloads they've had, after all. Worthwhile endeavors can sometimes be found in obscure titles that haven't received as much fanfare.

But I digress. I haven't actually got around to downloading and playing it yet. I should probably wait til you make the changes to save myself some effort on my part. I do hope that the bosses are challenging to fight and that their attacks aren't too easy to dodge and that they change up their tactics once they've hit specific HP thresholds (75% > 50% > 25%) instead of doing the same thing over and over again.

Just from reading the character bios, I'd say that Ferkin appeals to me the most. In looks, in backstory, and in class type he has it all.

Long ago,Shion killed the Tyrant Dragon and holds a grudge towards him and warriors alike, so he bears a powerful grudge against those kinds of people.

I always thought this sentence from Glaedr's excerpt sounded weird. It's kind of redundant to say he holds a grudge against Shion and warriors alike and then again state that he bears a powerful grudge against those kinds of people. By the way, it totally looks like his swords are sausages (if you know what I mean) or those thin balloons, hehe.

So does this game require you to download something like RTP to run it?

And will you be able to upgrade your characters' skills? Let's use Lydia's Fireball for an example. Let's say in its normal state that it just shoots a projectile horizontal from her. So an upgraded version might let her lob it upwards instead or maybe set an enemy on fire. Rather than have all your skills at full capability from the start (and thus making them bored once they've played with everything since there's nothing new to look forward to), they should have to work towards it and decide what to get (either you can eventually get all the upgrades or you can make it so you only have a limited amount of points to spend and the upgrades have branching paths; this means more work but also allows you to customize your character).

Bai's Tornado Swing could create, well, a mini tornado that then sweeps away enemies in its path before dispersing. Push them off a cliff or group them all together to finish off at once. There could be an upgrade to make it last longer or capable of deflecting weak projectiles.

As for Ferkin, well, I have no idea what his skills do but he definitely would appreciate faster MP Regen via a passive upgrade. Lapse sounds like it might temporarily stop time? So an upgrade to that would be making it last longer. Hehe, now I'm imaging firing dark energy blasts while the world is paused and then all the attacks hitting a boss when it resumes. 'Course that might be too OP if you could stop time and then move out of the way of enemy attack whenever you wanted. I suppose it'll have a huge MP cost so you can't spam it.

I searched up 'Yotsmungand' since it sounded like it came out of Norse Mythology. I ended up with Jormungand, the World Serpent who encircles the world from mouth to tail and whose poisonous bite killed Thor. Apparently it's also a Fire Emblem dark spell that... poisons the enemy. That made me think of Ferkin summoning a snake familiar that follows him around for a while and fights/shields him. That or shadow clones. Shadow clones are always fun.

As for his space aspect, he should be thinking with portals! Create linked portals so that a monster (small enough to fit through it) will be brought to the other end. It's ripe for abuse and combos like dropping enemies off cliffs,shooting an enemy through them, or just making a quick escape. To set the portal locations he has to move to the spot and press the skill button. Repeat for the second one. Pressing the key a third time will remove them so that you can re-situate them.

Glaedr's Flame Breath skill seems like could be an effective boss killer if you could hold down the skill button and shoot out a stream of fire that extends a short/medium distance. Instead of a set amount, it gradually drains your MP until you let go or run out so you can decide how long to use it.

The fact that he was raised by dragons makes me wonder if he could have a temporary transformation skill. Though that'd mean more work for you since you have to make sprites for that dragon form and animate its movement and attacks. I could definitely settle for an ending where he becomes one instead at least.

But in the end, what the characters skill set should be and how they work is up to their creators and the technical constraints of you the developer. All I can do is offer suggestions. At any rate, you have a lot on your plate. I wish you success in creating a project that you can be proud of and any future aspirations!
