DRAGNFLY'S PROFILE

I did finally get to play this. It was an enjoyable fun time.

I'm still standing beside my desire for a run button. Disabling run is only for if atmosphere and locales are your game's draw, like Dear Esther or games like Journey that intentionally slow you down at key points. This game had none of that so it was just an inconvenience. I'm known for my patience in some circles but this really isn't about patient or impatient. It's just a convenience that was intentionally removed at the benefit of nothing.

Still, though, this is a great game because it's so simple and just outright enjoyable. It doesn't intentionally rip at the heartstrings like Listen or To The Moon, it doesn't try to do anything big and sublime like Journey or The Last of Us. It just does it's simple thing and the player walks away with fond memories.

Hiatus or not, you get a sub just for that logo.

It wouldn't be Carrionblue if I didn't go cross-eyed at some point:)

Sure I'll give it a try. I liked a bunch of your other stuff. Bug reports incoming:)

Remember when I said I'd try this? Yeah... uhhhh... I just remembered. LOL sorry about that. *starts playing*

Ummm... this is pretty much the first impression you give the players. Grammar mistakes right off the bat and some really horrid mapping.

When you look at a map, think about it logically. RM's odd scale and points of perspective are stylistic choices that appeal to us retro lovers but the actual map still needs to be presented logically. This isn't the simple matter of forgetting to put the top on a tree. I'd say that you don't know how to use multi-tile objects but you have some here and intact so I just don't know why the map looks like this.

-How does that ladder work?
-How do the bottles and papers work?
-You have a 3-tile high stack of boxes sitting on what looks like the top of filing cabinets when your walls don't look high enough for that to even be possible.
-You also have high-tech heavy-looking gear sitting on cardboard boxes.
-You mix VXA objects in with MV objects without scaling them. Scaling to MV is very easy. There have been tutorials floating ever since MV's 48x48 tile size was first announced. Not scaling objects can sometimes work with less familiar things like the control panels but everyone knows bookcases and cabinets so it just ends up looking wrong.
-Not having ceiling tiles is an odd stylistic choice but I've seen it work. It doesn't work here though because it creates a sort of folding illusion that's really annoying to look at.
-You have the tops cut off other things but didn't modify the lower half of the object to provide a believable top. Things just stop. It looks like some samurai ran through and sliced things up.

All those problems from one screen. Do they stem from really bizarre and failed stylistic choices or just plain old laziness? Let's continue and find out... <TBC>

http://i.imgur.com/k4uQMPl.jpg End your first sentence with a period. Your 2nd sentence is wrong. I suggest "By approaching it, the save menu will be displayed."
I go easier on spelling and grammar than I do on technical errors because not everyone is raised speaking English and what culture we're born into is something no human being ever has control over.

http://i.imgur.com/LPp2lnA.png Take this for example. Technically this isn't wrong. It just sounds strange. People just call it a bed. "improve your energy" also isn't wrong. We just usually say "recover your energy" because it's assumed that you're resting because you lost some energy.

Now that I'm playing I've run into some other problems.
-The tutorial said approaching the mirror will bring up the save menu. It doesn't. The action button doesn't either.
-Just walking up to the bed automatically makes you use it. If you lose anything for resting, like time, players will be annoyed that there is no confirmation.
-Some of your text boxes have black backgrounds and some have blue. Weird.
-In the menu the sound for switching options doesn't always play. The SE for it is likely too long for the quick action of switching menu options.
-I understand that you can't walk on cracks but this means John can't use his toilet or take a bath.
-Because the VXA sci-fi objects weren't resized properly you hit an invisible wall when approaching from above. The top part of these objects should be a star in the Database -> Tilesets menu so that you can pass behind only the top part.

I'm sure you have important and complex gameplay mechanics to test out but I don't really have faith in it if you don't even understand the basics yet. Make some trial games for your friends, look up tutorials for anything you don't understand and learn to use RPG Maker before releasing stuff onto the internet. A developer's reputation is super important to them and giving such a lazy first impression will only reduce the number of people who will play your games. Be patient and learn. The internet isn't going anywhere.
