FIDCHELL'S PROFILE

Aegix, your review has been submitted! I found the game to be quite enjoyable. A job well done!

Amerk, I understand that usually when somebody gets a review they are not fully satisfied with and one that doesn't praise their game, they usually feel inclined to write a novel trying to compensate for some things, but there is no compensation to be had here.

What I've written down is sound, other than maybe the stuff I said concerning VX. Even if "noob culture" is still alive, that's not necessarily a good thing. If you are a grown man over the age of 18, you should not find this humorous. If your intended audience was a bunch of little kids who play Halo or Call of Duty, then you might have succeeded on that aspect. The humor is childish.

And yes, the game IS very difficult in some areas. I didn't have to grind very often, no, and I didn't have trouble in the final area before the final boss (except for the later portions with the robots and those fucking eye things), but the snow area in particular was a pain in the ass. Even if I had the winter coats, the enemies usually had abilities that affected the entire party and lowered attack stats greatly or put them to sleep. And they used this constantly. This is enough to warrant my hatred toward the gameplay.

Sorry if I sound like an asshole, and I understand the need to speak out and try to clarify things in defense of your game, but there are certain aspects that are unacceptable, and I'm not that bad of an RPG player. A game I'm playing right now called Illusions of Loyalty is difficult and provides many challenges, but is also met with tactics that can get you through. The game is excellently balanced. This game is not, and that is when an RPG really falls flat on its face.

I'd said this before in a thread in the help forum: $12,000 is not a lot of money for a development team to develop an RPG, even from a prototypical state. Especially in 2013. Due to the costs associated with developing a game like this, development time windows are best kept to around 1 year, and this will help to fund that.

You shouldn't warn Seita away from attempting success on the contingency that his game wouldn't "warrant that sort of goal". That isn't fair to Seita. Let his development team prove themselves in the field.

PLEASE explain to me what you need that much money for for an RPG Maker project. Unless you are investing in someone's skills at an unreasonable amount, I can't begin to imagine how the funds accumulated by overall game development on an RPG MAKER PROJECT could lead to that huge amount unless the creator intends to use most of it for his utility bills.

And my thing with RTP isn't about the aesthetics themselves, but about the PROSPECT OF LAZINESS.

I am sure there are many excellent VX/VX Ace games out there being made that don't go through with this money-grubbing process.

It looks like it uses RTP assets. Is this even allowed?

Amerk, your review has been submitted and is pending. Just posting to show you guys that I'm still here. I've spent a lot of time on this one...You'll see in the review.

Anyway, moving on!
