MELKINO'S PROFILE

wow, that's a lot of attempting to justify wonky-looking fap material

Seriously, the anatomy is pretty poor and just...not sexy. (unless broken spines are your kink or something...) Have you looked at reference photos of people doing various poses? There's only so much you can see at one time. Yes, men and women have different body structures, however, neither sex can break their spine to do those impossible poses. At the very least, reference photos may reduce the "skeevy nerd" vibe that's coming off of every single drawing of the female characters.

But if having a basic grasp of human anatomy is somehow the equivalent of being "politically correct" to you, well...

Just finished playing the RSW Demo, and overall it was very well done. I have a few things to comment on though. The first two are graphical things:

Show

This is a small passability error I noticed on the edge of the waterway. Seems like those weapons should be above the character.

Show

This is a weird one. If the bridge at the top right gets to be only one tile on the screen, walking left and right makes glitchy tiles waver around it. I have no idea what's going on here, and it's hard to capture with a picture. You can see two of the glitched blocks up there though.

Oh, whoops, I forgot to set passability for the crates of fish in the first image, haha. As for the second one, I'm not sure what's causing it either. I ran into a similar jittering bug with one map in Dejanor where the entire top row of tiles shifts left and right as the player moves in those directions. It happened at random and I'm not sure if it's caused by an error on my part, a possible bug in Yanfly's parallax lock script, or something completely different. o_O

I noticed that even when a character can't use a skill, it appears in their list on the menu, but not in battle. This is probably my fault for not reading closely enough about the skill books, but I was under the impression that you were given the skill when you equipped the book, but only kept it if you learned it. This just screwed me up a couple times, so it's not a huge deal, and like I said, it's definitely my fault. I think it would probably be better if there was some in menu distinction between what you could and couldn't use.

Each character has a submenu where you can equip the skills. Did you do that?
I might go back and add a few lines about that in the tutorial message, because I probably forgot to. >_>
(Also, if a book is unequipped from a character and they haven't completed learning the skills in it, those skills should disappear from the equippable list)

My only other complaint was that I found the first boss unreasonably hard. I don't know, I'm not the best at playing RPGs, but I was on Normal and fought just about every enemy I came across, yet still got creamed in the fight. I always feel that when there's touch encounters fighting most of them should put you at a somewhat reasonable level for the boss. I ended up just lowering the difficulty to easy since I don't want to end up grinding in an RM game.

I understand; grinding turns me off of RM games too! I'll try lowering their stats a tad for the next release.

Thanks for playing :)

Pretty fun game! :) My poor little character was often air juggled to death by large groups of skeletons, haha.

While the death animation plays, I noticed that the poison and regen numbers continued to come out of the character. Possible bug?

I took a look at a backup of the current download and, strangely, the Sword3 graphic was in there. Well, it doesn't sound major enough for me to update the download; just redoing the events and art assets for Ace is time-consuming enough for me already. :x

(psst--people's avatars aren't always the same as their genders!)

But, uh, Ace is pretty nice. Script editing is more intuitive for me and it lets me do cool things with interfaces and many other things
