Release Something! Day IV: Discussion Thread!

Red Moon Remixed
*Criticism warning*

I didn't find anything to like about this game. Sorry. I'm going to look at Red Moon (the original) after this to compare.

My problems with the demo are:
1. Story/intro needs better presentation...as it is, I was left thinking...What?! and then, Oookaaay...I think it's too sudden. It needs something leading up to it to make the player care about what's happening.
2. Maps seem big and empty
3. Game balance is off: (1) Starting with no magical skills except healing means you can't damage the Underlings (2) It takes ages to level up and get money (3) weapons didn't add much to damage dealt
4. Dialogue is littered with spelling and grammatical errors.
5. Bugs to fix include the fact that you can buy Fire Orbs (and Scrolls, for free) from the armour shop in Gravst.

I'll take a quick look at Red Moon now...

Played Dungeon Quest. It got frustrating until I realised that you should take a route with healing pools in it. I don't feel "qualified" to comment on it - it's very different to the sort of games I like.

Went back to World Crafters only to hit a time limit on the demo. This was somewhat annoying, as I can't see the point of releasing a timed demo unless it's just to cut down on people sending lots of bug reports.

Game Submission problems

OK. I'll wait a few days and then upload in Firefox.

I got the VX RTP from here: http://tkool.jp/rtp/vx_rtp102e.zip (courtesy of World Crafters game page. NB I had problems with World Crafters though)

I got the XP RGSS player from here: http://www.asrdc.co.nr/


Game Submission problems

I seem to be getting the same problem that Max McGee had with submitting Mage Duel. I've just tried to submit Intellia for the second time. I don't see any success message. Please help?

I might try again later with a different browser (currently on Google Chrome).

I got my post. Thanks kentona.

Mindflare v0.8
The screenshot for this looked good and I tend to like magic-themed games so I thought I'd try it out.

The introduction looks good. The game is very atmospheric. It's a very short demo consisting of simple puzzles. I felt not enough happened in it to make further comments useful.

Demon Destiny full version
I tried it...It was fine until I opened the World Map first chance I got. I got trapped on it, unable to enter any of the destinations. Perhaps I'll come back to this one in a while.

Thanks, but the thread hasn't changed. I've got to get some work done instead of floating around RMN, so it might be best to PM me the contents if you can. Didn't mean to be demanding! :p

Release Something! Day IV: Discussion Thread!

I've just uploaded another version of Intellia where things should all be fixed. See signature. Also contains Easter egg in Main Hall (Version 3.3 - when you finish the demo). I am considering creating battle graphics myself in Paint...might not be a good idea :/

kentona, at some point I'd like to be able to get the bbcode for my original post in the RSD release thread, so I can submit it to RMN properly. (I thought I'd submitted it already but something must have gone wrong.)

@ Max

Response duly noted

Re: Intellia, GreatRedSpirit brought a possible cause of the fatal error to my attention. I updated the link to a newer version, which should work.

The folder name is IntelliaA (progresses to B, C, etc) because I was being cautious with changing folder names on my computer. That makes no sense. Never mind. The game title is simply "Intellia".

Few bug reports for Mage Duel. Will add to this post Will post in dedicated thread if I find more.


1. Playing as male Conjurer: the character creation screen description of Bind Enemy (I think) should say "non-summoned creatures"
2. The skill description for Bind Enemy has a typo: "on creature" instead of "one creature"
3. As male Conjurer: I've got both the Tribal Staff and the Force Shield. When I equip one it automatically unequips the other.
