CASHMERECAT'S PROFILE

Oh? How would you score 450 MS for writing reviews for all the games? I thought the Badge of Devotion was only 100 MS?

Edit: I believe I will try to write more reviews as I can, though. I do not really mind whether a podcast is made or not, although that does not mean I do not appreciate it. Even if I have not made a contest entry, I do enjoy hearing others' opinions about games. The reason that I would review games would be to provide valuable feedback in the hands of those who need it. If I do not believe they would appreciate the feedback or find it useful, I usually keep it to myself.

I did have a lot of fun. I think the skill tree would be more suitable for a longer game, since I only started looking at it when I was nearing the end. Perhaps next time you create a contest game you should consider including a second and perhaps third tier of stat modifying accessories. I felt the same limitations of customization, or at least the illusion of it, whilst playing Dead Moon Night. Although that was a longer game than this so its abundance of items became more frustrating in that game than this.

Looking forward to seeing the game that you are referring to become flesh and bone.

It's all good. Judging RM Venture takes time. I'm minutely excited at the reveal of this year's Wisaos. Woo!

Being able to XP at will as much as you want destroys everything that makes it a crazegame!

Being able to grind for XP doesn't destroy a Crazegame. Devil::ender, Craze's last game, had random encounters and that didn't ruin the progression.

I was suggesting the arena as a way to get extra XP if you got stuck without the amount of XP you need. Plus a way to get loot if you didn't have any more monsters to kill. So no, that was not irrelevant at all, I was trying to answer your dilemma, just not in the way you envisioned it.

twice the original cost of the item, as a reward for not needing it.

You're rewarded for not using items? I thought you were supposed to be rewarded for using them. That goes against what makes RPG battles good. What makes Crazegames good is that the items such as status heals are actually useful this time around, instead of in 99% of other RPGs where they are just loot to be collected and never used. So please, let's encourage the use of items rather than discourage it.

Clearing the slate after every level sounds to me like the resource management was for nothing.

I like the idea of an arena but instead of XP, why not make it for something like gaining extra skills, unlocking next level items/equipment and getting gold?

That sounds brilliant. If in fact we can add extra stuff like that as LockeZ has discouraged. Something like Tekken's Survival Mode with Skills as reward.
