Wrong Literacy Assumption – Fixing A Bad Design
Thank you for reading and commenting. : )
I've noticed RPG Maker community is mostly not afraid of being cryptic and unclear about their choices since RPGM games are mostly played by RPGM users/developers. That's why I almost never see anyone replacing weird option terms like "BGS Volume", "BGM Volume" or "Always Dash" with, for example, "Music Volume", "Ambient Volume" and "Always Run". Even though for an average not-RPGMexperienced-player it would be much more friendly.
Just an engine mark, I guess. People don't play our games, so we're not used to making outsider-friendly designs. I hope to not fall in the same trap.

Wrong Literacy Assumption – Fixing A Bad Design
It was meant to have a tutorial-like vibe. I think a blog should be targeted toward players, this one is definitely meant for developers.

Spread Diary Entries - Clichés To Hate #1
I'm glad you liked it. My friend reminded me about this game titled "Gone Home". It's great at spreading bits of information through the entire game without making it weird and awkward.

The Tavern Review
Thank you for your review! It's a good thing that you had a chance to confirm if the game is going to look smoothly on your laptop (and decide if you should purchase it as well). By the way, I love Life Is Strange. ; )

Hey, that's awesome! I think you could try to fix the stairs a little bit - the left part is very different than the part on the right, and the yellow/brown edge on the top of these stairs looks very weird. But overall, I dig the mood.

This game didn't actually have a funeral in it

Many testers suggested we should add a picture like this to The Tavern, a choice-based RPG, so we said - why not! ; )
Happy #screenshotsaturday !

Nah, obviously I would prefer sooner than later, but the most important is that you'll play comfortably. : )
