INDRA'S PROFILE

-As for music, I meant frist the castle. It's...well, I didn't like the song. Later on I noticed there were some RTP bgms throws in there, so I guess it's not really a final selection. 16-bit music would do a better work, yeah.
-By the stops in text, I don't mean so much the cutscenes (where it's tolerable and acceptable) but when inspecting objects on the field. There is a rather annoying stop when you look at pots and the like, which gets old, REALLY fast, since you don't want to be stopped at every step when scanning a room.
-About the captain's death: Oreh acts like it's a big deal and he's like...sad? Why should he be? Sure, he's dying, but it was shown not a minute before that he disliked the captain, he would not put that much feeling into it, I think? He's actually acting like a person very near to him died, which is not the case. It's not that he can't be sad or distressed, but it feels wrong at the level he's doing it.
-Gameplay...I'd do somethign about the HP/MP resources, as well as overall mosnter balancing. Call me spoiled, but since I started putting autoheal after battles in our games I've become unable to enjoy anything else unless it's really balanced. The knowledge that you can go ALL OUT in every battle is liberating and makes the fights enjoyable. Somehing like a slight regen after battle would work, too. As it is it feels like battle gets IN THE WAY instead of part of the adventure, since it forces you to quickly lose resources.
-The cap...well. Unless you WANT your game to have goofy modern references WAY out of place in a medieval setting, I'd say scrap it. At least to me it was just jarring and out of place.

-The music is…ugh. At least the very first theme.
-While I suspect this is due to simply lack of time, the mismatch of charming pixel style and plain rtp is rather jarring.
-Nice conversion for the rtp (I’m guessing) into pixel.
-Player sprite seems a bit bulky and “complex” for the environment’s simplicity, but it’s nothing glaring.
-Omg that swishy cape. That’s just… *laughs at the silly thing*
-Minor nitpick, but the autoshadows+pixel style are rather ewwy.
-The continuous beeping when you run into interactive options is a bit irritating. It’d be ideal if it beeped once only, or even once every X seconds with a delay.
-Omg, I read OreO XD (most delicious character of the team, I’m going to guess).
-Also not major nitpick, but the font is slightly too “smooth” for the simpler pixels.
-The waits in text when inspecting things get old quick. :< They get in the way after the first couple times.
-It’s a pretty good move to teach the player (I was already doing it but STILL XD) that you can search pots and the like for items with the maid’s talk.
-The text is…odd sometimes. I’m not a native English speaking so I may be wrong here (sorry if that’s the case) but some of the stuff the chars say is not medieval, while it SEEMS (I THINK) you want them to speak sort of medieval-style. At times it just sounds off, but this could be just me.
-Omg, poor king doesn’t even have a CHAIR. Give the poor old man a place to sit XD
-It’s a bit redundant and unnatural how everyone keeps saying “oh hey, its you, the new knight appointed yesterday!”. We don’t need to hear it quite so plainly and so often :x
-Maybe I’m wrong, but the constant use of “me” instead of “my” makes me think of pirates XD
-Oh wow…ok, the music is…I’m not sure it fits the cutesy pixel style. It’s too…full? I’m not entirely sure, it’s just a bit mismatched.
-Honestly, what’s with the dialog? The tone and words keep going all over the place, it’s more jarring that if you just used “normal” words all the time x.x
-This went from medieval to pirate talk quite fast :x
-The captain’s death isn’t really very convincing. The knight has no reasons to be as attached as he acts :x
-Captain ARMOS’ parcel? Wasn’t it Stratos?
-I got killed by a dog? Woah. :<
-Ugh I gotta listen to the captian die again. Cmonn
-The balancing seems pretty shifty. I can kill enemies in one hit with the Mp skill, but if try to conserve mp and use normal attacks I get killed :/ And levels don’t restore Mp, so I’m pretty much fucked either way.
-Ugh, I can’t even rest at the abandoned hosue? Come ooon :<
-Why is green hair girl’s sprite wearing a modern cap… x.x
-Ok, the writing is just getting ridiculous now :/
-Got wiped by 4 imps after recruiting the kid and had enough.

Well…it’s something. It’s not bad, but right now, the weirdness and mismatch of the writing and the mix of resources is pretty jarring, making enjoyment a bit hard :<

Gameplay is…a bit bland. Mp runs out fast, and it’s not like I can do anything else. Combat seems determined to kill me even at the start of the game, which is never fun, my mp was not restored…it was not really enjoyable to play combat-wise as far as I got.

The graphics, those that were in pixel, were cute and I can see the full game like that being charming. The mismatch of styles right now makes it hard to enjoy.

The writing…the base isn’t bad, but the execution gets out of control FAST. Honestly speaking, it would be better if characters just spoke their lines normally without all the old style mismash, which is way out of control. I’m not an expert (I could be wrong here), but I’m pretty sure a lot of the expressions used are way out of context and don’t match.

That said, if the combat was given some spice and the writing was fixed a bit (and the graphics got finished, of course) I could see it being nice. As it is now, I could not enjoy it.

In any case, good luck with the game!

-Writing is really odd, I gather it’s because eof lack of a good English dominion?
-There’s no need to make a credit intro so long if it’s basically two people, mentioned ten times XD
-And now a title screen again after credits? This goes on for too long :<
-Well, a note says time is running BUT I SURE AINT, BABY! Because I seem to walk as slowly as I can manage :/ (oh wait the run button was Q. Wtf?)
-…What the heck is a “double door”?
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP NONONONONO.

I can’t play these sorts of games, I’m too chicken. XD
I’m terribly sorry, it was promising, but I’m just WAY WAY too wimpy for terror games. After the first scare I closed the game like the coward I am ;A;
Evaluation: Shaky translation aside, it was pretty good (as long as it lasted). Sound and ambience (and lighting) were pretty well done. Mappign, not so much. Too many open spaces and mismatching graphics. Nothing glaringly bad, but not that good either.
Controls were a bit confusing. Too many keys doing too many thigns, and theyre bound somewhat awardsly in the keyboard (run with Q and the main buttons on C/X? whaaat).
Anwyay, I hope someone with more courage to play this game than me comes along to give it a better feedback (and actually manage to play it, which is a pity sicne it looks good).
I’m sorry, I tried, but I’m just not made for this. On the plus side, the first scare most DEFINITELY got to me, so if the rest fot he game is like that it’s probably a pretty good game, I guess XD
