@Skie

Thanks a lot.

@mawk

I'm not going to comment any further in this topic, however I'd like to say one thing.

That's not what occurred. Alex knows what occurred with anything regarding pay and there were agreements throughout. Unfortunately, things did not work out between me and him. I'll simply leave it at that. If you think I withheld money from him then I'll tell you that's simply not true. That's the only reason why I am posting here.

I'd like to also say that it isn't my intention to drag anyone's professional name down over a videogame. I expressed everything that occurred because it was simply the right thing to do. I tried to express the events without throwing dirt on anyone as well. I made it perfectly clear that everyone involved are talented individuals and there's nothing I can say that can take that away.

It wasn't my intention to even remotely try to hurt anyone's career. But I will say that you're current impression is wrong and honestly I don't want to sit down and play the blame game. If anything, I blame myself most.

Alex wanted to express his thoughts and I totally get that. He's a good composer and I wish him the best.

@DE

Your post is pretty sensible and I agree with a lot of what you had to say.

Lol, looks nice!

I would have been up for more title screens Ephiam but I'm glad this looks good.

I contacted the pixel artist who did the sprites sometime ago, for various reasons and we exchanged a few messages. I learned about Seyken then and posted it around. Anyone who registered to the game would have been emailed about their Indiegogo campaign.

I think the character pixel art is nice but the animations are lacking especially in-game. The characters design are also way too similar to SD3 and the series in general, I noticed that instantly and some even looked like edits as Nessiah pointed out. That pixel artist is not even remotely cheap so that bothered me more, the lack of creativity.

Seyken has been in development for a while, it isn't anything new. I think the tiles look nice albeit hi-res and has that modernized feel. It's probably what I like about the game most.

The gameplay is pretty awful, I'm not sure a bunch of money would fix that. You click the mobs and then your character attacks them. You basically have to be in breathing distance to to draw enemy aggro otherwise they just look like field animals minding their business.

Again, the animations are sluggish. The weirdest thing I noticed is that when you hold shift to run, a run animation is evident but the character does not actually gain any speed. Movesets / maneuvering should have been up there on their priority list especially before going public. But the combination of ALL animations feeling sluggish, bad, and the run animation being broken... That kind of made the game look really dull.

"an arcade style online JRPG re-inventing the 16bit Console Fantasy Classics."

This statement doesn't really convince me that the team is reinventing anything. The character sprites are really uninspiring / lack creativity. I'm 100% sure the pixel artist could have done something new and unique, it's not a lack of talent. The gameplay is pretty bad, I really wished they would have just created a free reign action mmo instead of a point and click (and forget) MMO.

These guys worked on this game while having a full-time job so I WOULD have gave them the benefit of the doubt. I just don't see a real vision. They haven't convinced me that they are doing anything different or improving "classic" design. All I see are nice tiles as Ocean pointed out lol.

I still support them but idk, $55,000 on Indiegogo? It doesn't really look like they did their research!
