GALENMERETH'S PROFILE

Intra Mundum isn't necessarily the finalized name, so who knows; it could end up spiritwalker, or something else :) The "codename" is "Intra Mundum" because it can mean "inner world" in lazy latin, which is also what one could call the spirit world.

I like to map villages in semi-realistic sizes, so that you feel like this could be a real place. However, I make sure that roads and natural landmarks makes it easy to find points of interest, as making you feel lost is not the point of these maps :)

if the community and features continue to improve between this campaign and the next one, I have high hopes that I'd have a better chance succeeding the next time around! I've even been getting some community contributions to the editor, and that'll definitely help keep the project going!

It's good to hear that you want to keep going even if the kickstarter should fail. This project has a lot of potential, and I'd love to support it, but I feel there's a bit too little "meat on the bone" for the project so far. I like the looks of it, and the use of haxe and export possibilities are really great, but I'll be awaiting some more details before I commit to it myself. Best of luck! :)

What is the future of this project if the Kickstarter doesn't work out?

The RTP portraits are meh, but maybe that's just my personal opinion. You should either find a good artist, or a good source of replacements.

I think my problem is that I haven't played many RPGMVXA games, so to me they look great. But I am aware of this issue, so it's something I'll look at eventually when I can make a proper decision about what custom art I want :)

The abstracts were laid on a bit thick at the start, almost to the point of "oh no, pretentious bullshit", but I was well into it by the time I got to Elise's mirror. No issues after that.

Great to hear; I wanted to walk the fine line between having people get that "pretentious" feeling creeping in while breaking it up in time for it to actually put things into an interesting perspective.

And there weren't enough battles to gauge my thoughts on them. If you stick to the limited items and limited healing though, I can see a problem with players winding up trapping themselves.

If I go with this default battle system, then I'll definitely go all the way with custom class functionalities, tactical mechanics and good itemization. I'm making the game so that I find it interesting to play myself, and I really dislike "battles as filler". However, because of that, I am in the process of experimenting with alternatives to having battles. For example, I'm playing around with the "mirror" realm being puzzle-like (with abstract elements, but not Monkey Island abstract) and the physical realm not having combat at all. The reason is that I'm realizing that I might have to make sacrifices to story and the adventure to support the kind of in-depth battle system I have in mind. By sacrifices I mean due to time restraints and because I have to force the player into interesting encounters, and adding a huge layer of complexity on top of an already complex concept (the "mirror" realm is going to become really symbolically interesting). And that's why I'm at a point where I'm trying to find something that'll work in tandem with the story I want to tell, while still requiring actions from the player and keeping them interested; I do not want to make a visual novel, after all :)
