KYLELASCAR'S PROFILE

Sorry, I didn't want to put pressure on you, I've just been thinking it would have sounded discouraging if I had said "next decade" instead. ;)

Wow, even the roadmap looks rad. :)

I can totally see myself opening this treasure chest and this locked door later this year.

Since I'm an antisocial maverick who doesn't play demo versions and is looking for new games completely by himself (and receives warnings on this site for no reason at all), the second step (not only the images, but especially the game's story and features) is by far the most imporant one to my mind. If I bring myself to give a game a chance, then something serious will have to happen in order to stop me from playing (e.g. an unmentioned "feature" like level-scaling, one of my knock-out criterions). I'm also willing to cut a game I'm interested in some slack during the beginning, considering the long, linear development process and the typical structures of most games; in fact I would be distraught if the game's first dungeon was its best.

Unfortunately, most game descriptions suck or at least miss several vital specifications. This poses a problem to such an extent that I've developed my own list of questions that I ask before buying an RPG Maker game on Steam. Maybe most players prefer a "hands-on approach" (playing demo versions etc.), but if a developer wants to win over a player like me, it's the second step above all else.

I'm sorry for your loss, WheelmanZero, and I wish you strength to cope with the situation. Just ignore fools like dd33 from now on.
