NAKORURU'S PROFILE

I did really enjoy the ending a lot, thanks. It came as a surprise to me and I really liked it. Nice job! I submitted the review, so if it gets approval it'll appear on here sometime over the next few weeks.

Thank you for explaining it all to me! That's helped make things clearer. Some of those is what I assumed could be the case, but I still wasn't certain. There was just a lot to your story so I wanted to understand the bits I wasn't sure about.

Also thanks for explaining the way the game changes.

I think I got the most powerful skill.

About the trees, have you tried to fade out the screen just before teleporting the player to the next map and then fade in the screen after? Maybe wait a few seconds to fade in the screen? That way the trees may just appear at the same time the screen loads for the player? It's a shame the engine does this, but it's not a big problem as it is.

Sorry for posting so much, I have finished the game now and started the review. I just have a couple questions about the game itself that I feel don't really fit in the review.

My questions below. (If any of these are me jumping ahead and to be answered in other games in the series instead of now, then that's fine to not explain them for now).

About the Gods and Goddesses or higher beings.
1. I understood that Ankhanessa was the main goddess worshipped in Eso and the Holy Empire. And I understood that Isis was her mother, but why was Ankhanessa the foundation of the religion instead of her mother, Isis? And what about the other children? Why are they not also important to the religion, I guess what I'm saying is why was Ankhanessa solely the main influence for the religion? I thought it was Isis who defeated them not Ankhanessa, and if Ankhanessa influenced it during the war with Apos, weren't there 4 other younger children with her? I did not understand that part. When thinking what differs her from the others, I realize she was the next in line for the throne though, so I thought that must be it, but then I'd assumed Isis would still be the main one the religion would be founded on? Isis is in a few dungeon puzzles though.
2. I understood that Apos is the main god worshipped by the Chaos Imperium but is he also Chaos, and Chaos is another name for Apos? Or am I lost there?
3. How did Akon fit into all this? Is Akon a shorter name for Ankhanessa or is she/he a different God? And I am right in saying it was the apocalypse war that came before Isis and her children fought against Apos? I think?
4. I didn't know anything about Silvia other than the dungeon puzzles and I realized it seems all the main characters religions are on her, Silvaity, I think? Is that religion the same as the Holy Empire one or is it different? What is this Goddess stance on Apos and Akon and Isis and Ankhanessa?

About possible secrets and possible hidden areas in the game.
1. In the museum was there a way to look at the statue that the man was blocking? If so, what would've happened?
2. In the huge town, where you had to talk to the Zuko captain from the knight HQ, there is a sheep blocking the upper most floor. Is there a way past it and if so what would've happened?
3. Same huge town again, in the market district right at the top of the first entrance there is an embassy from some place else, is there a way in there? If so does anything useful happens?
4. At the beginning you're told Lucretta's decisions will affect the rest of the game, in what way did that happen? Were there right and wrong choices? If so was life sacrifice the right choice?

About the hints page.
1. For most of the game I was able to resolve the puzzles, though some still provided a bit of a challenge, but the more detective themes, the persuasion points, when you get into the town I found a little complex, so I had to look at the hints page for that in the end. Just for the hints on persuasion points, number 5 said "Buy the potion from the woman in the library.", I didn't see a library in the game except the one in the Chancellor's mansion type of house, and I ended up getting the potion at the entrance to the museum after spending a lot of time exploring everything I could think of. So I don't know if it's possible to get it in some library first and then later it's in the museum, but if that's the case maybe add that it can be in the museum if you miss it at the beginning? Otherwise say it's an the entrance of the museum? Or museum library if that's supposed to be the library?

2. I did not look at the hints page for the gallery pictures right away, but I was able to get them all without hints except the one at the lighthouse, and I think I did explore the top of the lighthouse and interacted with the fire, so did I miss something or did I have to be there at a certain time later in the game or was it a bug? Just curious to know.

And what would the prize have been if I had collected all the gallery pictures?

Most of these mechanic related questions from a developer's feedback point of view will be in my review so I'll write those then.

Edit: Sorry forgot to add I had no problem with any crashing in the flying dog inn and I think I've played Version 2.01, if that's the latest.

But in the forest area where you get Anya, after saving and existing/entering maps all the trees vanished for 3 seconds and it suddenly looked bland and empty and then the trees all popped up at once. It only lasted 3 seconds so I didn't bother me, but that happened. I think it happened one other time in the game much later as well, but I can't remember for certain. My memory may have gotten a bit confused. If it did really happen, it was another field so I'm guessing it was the Gorge's Peak area.

Just dropping in to compliment the first game, out of a dozen similar-scale local RPGs i tried recently JttE was my favorite, in terms of game design choises and the amount of fun had. It's excellent overall, smooth experience and fantastic atmosphere.
I have the utmost confidence in the sequel now that your gamedev levels have gone up. Hope your games get more coverage in the future, they definitely deserve more attention.
(also if you ever in need for some second hand help with scripting or sound or whatever else just shoot me a message)
