you can be a Pimp for a half hour

Now, for the duration of the demo, you can be a Pimp, a ladies' man (or would ladies' person be more "politically correct"?). Bear in mind that the story in the demo is nothing like the story of the actual game, and is only used to provide structure. They characters will not be altogether unchanged, either.

However, I would like feedback as to the battle system or the Regents card game (playable at the bar or the restaurant.) Also, any questions about something I forgot to explain, or an obvious hole in accessibility, would be nice.

Behold, screenshots:






Lemme know if I need anything else, Feldschlacht.

EDIT
I also need a paragraph, huh?

Alright, here goes: This is a gameplay demo of Pimp. It gives you a nice selection of abilities to play around with, and a choice between one of two allies, and two boss fights. The full demo (v0.1) contains all of the music that will be used in the finished production, while the "shaved" demo (v0.05) has only the music used in the actual demo. So, if you want to be able to hear all of the tracks ahead of time, get the larger one, while if you want a quicker download, get the smaller one.

A couple of tips:
1). The Pimp is vital - If the Pimp is KO'd, you lose, regardless of any surviving allies. To counter this, the pimp has the best stats of any character in the game, but you still need to watch your health. Heal yourself before reviving allies - you're that important.

2). Equip the cane! - Immediately after the introductory battles, equip your goddamn cane! Since the Pimp can hold two one-handed weapons, holding a handgun in one hand and the cane in the other allows you to use all of your skills, instead of one set or the other.

3). Some skills are better - Within the confines of the demo, I haven't been able to make every skill useful at every point. For example, Assist is useless, seeing as no enemies in the demo use Blind Shot, Pin Down, or Suppression Fire. On the other end of the spectrum, Parting Shot has instant death attached, so I'm not going to give it to you in the very beginning of the game.

4). PUBLIC APOLOGY - I am sorry and ashamed... I couldn't get the Pimp Slap feature finished in time. In the game, if an NPC says something insipid, you have the option to do your thing. All it SHOULD take is a common event and a <>Call Event, but... Oh, well, I'll have it fixed for the final game.

The link is in my sig. THX in advance, and I await your replies, framlings!

Version 0.1 Need Review

I have posted Pimp Version 0.1.

How does this affect you? I doesn't, unless you're looking for a quick 15 minute diversion. If you are, however...

...wouldst thou review mine creation? Just the battle system/game mechanics, if you don't mind... The bit of story I have included is for show and structure only and will be replaced in the actual version/later updates.

I have an issue

I seem to be having issues with my text font in RM 2k3. Behold:

Any advice for a fellow pilgrim to the shrine of awesome?

EDIT
It isn't showing...!? It keeps adding 'http://'

ANOTHER EDIT
Forget the whole thing. I'll figure something out... and then I'll try and figure out how to upload a $#%#^& screenshot...

WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE EDITS, CHAOS?
