KRIMSONKATT'S PROFILE

author=Darken
if you want notoriety after death you're better off eating the mona lisa or something

Yeah right the guys who threw soup at it got nothing. No one has or will remember their names. All they got was 50 hours of community service for their vandalism. Even mass murderers aren't remembered anymore since active attempts are now made to hide their identity and not make them famous which could encourage and motivate future killers.

I WANT TO CREATE A PIXEL ART GAME 100X MORE VIOLENT THAN MORTAL KOMBAT WHERE I CAN STIMULATE PROGRAM RIP AND TEAR TO EVERY LAST TRANSPHOBE ON THIS FUCKING EARTH TO PIECES WITH BLOODY RETIRUVTION!!!! BLOOD!!! CRIMSON RED BLOOD!!! DEATH!!! PAIN!!! I will kill them all in minecraft. BERSKER DEUS VULT!!! Who's with me?

Yeah I'm not sure if I added it but I know defend definitely heals a tiny bit HP. I should probably have it heal AP as well. And yeah, I'll use chatgpt to re-do Mundas' dialogue. I didn't think of that before, and heck, I don't even think chatgpt existed back when I first made this game. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll be sure to add them in a future update!

Chronicles: The Lost Page is a good game. It's only errors are some minor spelling mistakes, a few very minor bugs, and some gameplay and story nitpicks such as the MP not restoring after you level up, (it's supposed to be like megaten where MP is limited and a resource that needs to be managed) a character's accent being hard to understand, (it's really not if you've read the original translations for any Shakespeare play in high school) and there being no real opening and ending. Also the bosses were "unmemorable" which what can I say? It's meant to be a short simple game, not every boss be some massive spectacle with huge build-up like this a Platinum Games game.

Yes, it uses RTP but your acting like using RTP automatically makes the game bad. It doesn't. Making your own custom assets is HARD. I can probably do the facesets, enemies, and battlers with enough work but there's no way I can make tilesets that actually look good. I'm awful at those. Chronicles: The Lost Page does have a coherent narrative. It's just very simple because again, it was a 2-4 hour long event game made in a month. It did get a 6/10 which is better than pretty much every other game I made, it's main criticisms being:
-Nitpicks like MP not restoring upon level up and Mundas' accent
-"Bad mapping" which mainly just applies to the last couple floors of the final dungeon which are just mazes. Because, once again, this was an event game developed in a month. I didn't have time to make a fleshed out final dungeon with puzzles and stuff, and having confusing mazes added to the horror. I'm not a 10/10 mapper, but my maps are at least passible.
-A few minor spelling errors which I didn't even notice while writing them due to poor vision. (im legally blind, can still see but very badly. I miss grammar errors a lot)
-A few minor, non-game-breaking glitches. (which will definitely be fixed along with the grammar issues)
-Too many elements, which I have already fixed in my future games I'm developing and will probably make a skill overhawl relatively soon for CTLP.
-Too handholdy with too many tutorials, which was primarily because of early feedback saying that the game was too vague mechanics-wise, especially for people who never played Octopath.

These are absolutely trivial compared to my previous games which suffering from a lot of issues. The one review I got, while very critical, made sure to mention that the game isn't bad and he's making it sound a lot worse than it actually is. Plus, a 3/5 stars on this site is pretty good all things considered especially since the review standard is so high. 4 stars or higher is considered "highly rated" by the site, so most people only give reviews that high if the game is a legit masterpiece. My game is not that, I'm a simple, short, event game made in a month with some minor flaws that most amount to nitpicks. Personally I would rate my game a 7/10, which would be equivalent to 3.5 stars on this site. Flawed and definitely not amazing, but still decent and with a lot of good ideas.

I will stand by the fact that Chronicles: The Lost Page is a good game. This isn't like Zero Gear Fighters where I was just a immature little kid and in denial that I made a bad game, Chronicles: The Lost Page is a legit 7/10 which is pretty good considering how this site usually rates things. (8/10 or higher being a masterpiece) Basiclly when comparing this site's ratings to others just take your star rating and times it by 2.25. So a 5 star game would be an 11/10, a 4 star game would be a 9.2/10, a 3 star game would be a 7/10, a 2 star game would be a 5/10, etc. So basically the higher the star rating, the larger the quality gap between ratings when compared to mainstream review scores.

As for the asset issue, yes, if you want your game to be popular or make money you need to use custom assets. That is just common sense. And if Chronicles: The Lost Page DID have a unique artstyle and had all the issues fixed, it would at least have a niche cult following. Instead it's 7/10 simple RPG Maker game using default assets that only got a review in the first place because the dev begged for one for years.

I've decided I'm just going to make both lmao. Don't worry, the lore is spread out pretty wide. It's not all just dumped on the player all at once in a massive monologue.
