CALMONE'S PROFILE

I made my first game using RPG Maker VX back in 2010, that is what first inspired me
to make games! It has been four years since then and I have graduated from Full Sail
University. I specialize in programming and scripting.

Broken Seal Review

It's interesting that you mentioned the battle system.
That was where the majority of the game-breaking bugs were and boy,
it was not easy fixing all the compatibility issues that arose
with Tankentai and one of Yanfly's scripts.
As the code was difficult to understand especially with all the comments
being in Japanese, and even with a translator.
Anyway, the battles get more interesting as you progress through the game.
There are some cool things that I did like, mainly the instant-cast skills
that could be used without using up a turn.

Also, I don't know if you noticed there is an option called 'Outline'
that explains all the basic functions much better than the tutorials
ironically. I could see I was trying to make the game clear for those
who never even touched an RPG as well. On my first playthrough of this
I was thinking I could have just told the player about this option and cut
out literally every tutorial(Especially the shop tutorial, that one made me laugh).

As for the mapping and presentation, it doesn't get any better unfortunately. =[
To be honest, I am looking for a little more feedback regarding my battle system.
I want to know your thoughts about it, now that I've seen how you review.
I will upload my saves so you do not have to suffer through this mess, as the kill
x amount of a random monster formula to progress is present throughout the
entire game.

Broken Seal Review

Thank you very much for your review.
I'm sorry that you had to sit through that, as this was my very first game
that I made over 4 years ago.
However, I do agree with all of your points.
As you have confirmed all of my thoughts about this game, I just
needed to hear them outside of my own head.
Everyone I had test the game, just told me that it was good and I wasn't
sure if they were lying to me or not.
With that being said, I wasn't sure which direction to take with this
project, either do a complete reboot or fix up what I have and make
it actually enjoyable and fun.
That was the entire purpose of even posting this project, to get honest feedback.
I feel the best bet is to do a complete reboot and flesh out my game mechanics
and story and character presentation.
As I don't even remember my original goal for this project.
I do remember though, getting frustrated and giving up on this
project because of game-breaking bugs that I simply could not fix.
When making this I enjoyed toying around with scripts but certain scripts
were just incompatible.
Coming back to this project though, thanks to my now strong programming background, I was able to fix all the game breaking bugs so that this game would even be playable.
To be honest, I am a complete noob when it comes to RPG Maker VX, as it's
been so long since I've used this program. Well, except for the scripting
as that did not take me long to figure out. I'm not the best with graphics
or mapping so in regards to those, I'll most likely check out some tutorials.
Anyway, you are an excellent and honest reviewer!
Thanks for your feedback =]
