Shadows of Adam Review
author=kentonaauthor=Nightbladebecause game development is a linear progression down a single path. Any game deviating from the path I perceive to be the ideal is considered abhorrent.author=EraveIn a genre that's already stagnating I'm don't think this is a great way to go about things, but at least this explains how we go from "The Way" to... this.author=BadLuckThe whole design tenant of the game was "Simple, done well." We aimed for likable characters and a coherent and easy to follow story. As the game progresses, the plot will deepen and some twists will occur, but we definitely focused on the game having a lot of clarity.
Hey Erave, were you guys trying for a "retro" feel to the dialogue and story, to go along with the retro graphics and music? I have to imagine the simplicity was intentional, rather than an oversight.
Well, there are certainly a few potential design paths and their intersections at play, but, uhm...
So far, this kinda shows that particular path might be less well-travelled then intended. Especially when compared to the alternate, story-heavier path, even when you attempt to adjust for graphics/perspective.
What are you thinking about right now?
Night in the Woods sure has a nice main theme:
I didn't like it much at first listen, but now I've added it to favourites. I also tried searching for Shadows of Adam OST, but couldn't find anything. Still, OST or no OST, releasing two days after that game, and a day before Hollow Knight, might not have been the best idea for them in hindsight.
EDIT: OK, this is just brilliant.
Definitely buying this some time in the future.

Planet Stuck The Return Of Corrin
OK, I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not... but what to do once you get to the Crossroads? I can't go south of east because of the ants, and I can't go anywhere after I go north besides that one map with the healing station.

author=stardustauthor=NTC3Thank you! Yeah, I was worried that I might not make it through Greenlight before it closes. I'll be releasing a small update with some fixes & improvements based on the feedback I got in the near future. You might want to check that out :)
Hey, congratulations on managing to get Greenlit! Just in time before Valve shuts the whole thing down pretty soon! I was considering playing and reviewing the demo to help spread the word about it, but it looks like you fared fine on your own!

Well, I usually go for shorter games on here, but yeah, I think I might just check out this update for this occasion.

Where's my Mom? Review
Well, this is certainly a hard post to properly reply to, but I'll try.
True, but don't forget that there's also one behind every integer of the download count.
Well, the absolute majority of games on RMN are also free and developed out of spare time. I'm not comparing it (or Paradoxia, for that matter) to Dust: an Elysian Tail or Stardew Valley (especially since I played neither of them) or other commercial games - I'm primarily comparing it to the other free games I've played on RMN, which is more than 70 by now, and my rating is based on that. And really, your game got a Let's Play by thesacredlobo where he struggled with the same things I did: you could've had reacted to it and fixed at least the eventing bugs, all the way back in 2015. Instead, you chose to abandon this game and start work on the other one, even though it was quite probable that someone would've had reviewed this game eventually. After all, this place is, among other things, a community that seeks to help amateur developers get recognition if they deserve it, and if they don't, hopefully get them to the level where they will.
This is why there are many tutorials and articles on here that detail how to avoid many of the very same issues I pointed out in this review, and there are people whom you can ask for further help as well. I know for a fact that there are other depressive people on the forums here too, and with whom you can discuss creative burnout like the one you have, among other things. Sure, you can not bother with any of that and simply view this website as a way to get further exposure and downloads for your game, but don't be surprised when this leads to the equally impersonal reactions in return.

just remember that behind this webpage there is an actual person with feelings and issues...

1. These games are completely free and I know that as the developer of these games, no way would they be sold onto stores such as Steam and GOG.com and 2. That I develop these games out of my spare time and 3. This review has kind of put me into a depressive state (and I do medically suffer with depression) and no longer write stories anymore, make films anymore and not develop games anymore

What are your opinions on the recent Pewdiepie Contryversy?
It's a good thing I never properly watched a single video of his, so I don't have to be bothered by it at all.

author=KumoriCloudGamesauthor=NTC3Well theirs 2 endings the normal ending should take you an hour and the best endingauthor=KumoriCloudGamesOK, then I guess I could review it, and you'll learn about the bugs from there, among other things.
