GRETGOR'S PROFILE

Add me to the list of feedback givers, and reviewers :)

The corridors do indeed have blockades that you need to find a way to break down (involving the minecarts) in order to get through to the next area. The minecarts have different junctions that can be controlled using switches, and the minecarts can also be loaded with material to make them heavier, but that's about it; the mechanics of the puzzles are pretty basic but they operate very smoothly and so I think they'll provide a decent enough barrier to progression. There'll be battles too, of course; I've not quite decided whether or not they'll be random encounters but I think I probably will use random encounters since I like random encounters.

I like this. Simple but effective puzzles are the best for RPG dungeons, and this sounds like a nice concept.

Now that you've changed the colour and shape of that last block, it's a lot easier to tell what is going on. The shape of the middle two are kinda similar to one another though; you might want to make it so that one of them doesn't have rounded edges just so that the specificity is really hammered home?

I think I'll do just that, together with a few other changes :)

I am happy with the menu.

It looks good! Easy to read, works smoothly, and is pretty intuitive.

Sated, I really like that mine, it seems to be pretty vast and full of curious things to explore (abandoned mining structures, dorms, etcetera). Are any of the events in the corridors between rooms going to be, like, gates to separate the different parts? Also, the minecart puzzle (which you showed on a gif earlier) looks cool, what are the mechanics you're gonna use?

Also, this:



From top row to bottom row: characters holding colored orbs, colored orbs on the floor, "mats" on which the orbs must be placed to trigger things, frontal view of colored gates, lateral view of colored gates.

In an attempt to keep things color blind friendly, I made every pattern differ in shape as well as color (by the way, since I'm not color blind myself, I can't verify this, but are the objects easy to distinguish?)

So, what do you guys think? Are all objects easy to distinguish? I'm open to suggestions and critique.

Also, should I just create a project page at once, or should I wait until I have some actual gameplay ready?

Just made a long list of things I have to do in my game, and I'm not exactly enthusiastic to clear it up. Sometimes, I fear I'll take, like, three years to finish what's supposed to be a pretty short game (two hours, tops, is what I intend this game to be... so yeah).

Walking to the school library, I suddenly came upon some cool lines for dialogue. Picking up the pace, I rush over to the library and take out pencil and paper to write it down so I don't forget it.

... And forgot it all before I wrote a single letter.

Story of my life.
