NEOK'S PROFILE

author=Dragnfly
I just finished this one (2 of the 3 endings. Couldn't find Ending 2) and yeah, this thing rocks. Presentation, art, story, setting, characters, difficulty and super badass boss music... it's a complete package.

I like the skill system and how it's more important to have a fluid attack flow than to just equip all the highest tier skills. Also, having the quarter-turned back of Ally (odd name LOL) in combat made me really nostalgic for some game I don't even remember and I really think more games should do that.

So yeah, totally a good one.

Awesome, thanks for playing it through! Yeah, I think most people will end up missing ending two. It's not an easy thing to find.

I don't know, I find that when I design characters, they sorta name themselves so to speak, and then it gets really tough for me to think of them by any other name.

Yeah, that's one of my gripes about most front turn based RPG combat systems (not seeing the characters). Just makes it feel a little less vivid and real.

Instant display text = yes!

Okay, new version up

- Reduced difficulty of first three bosses
- Fixed a bug where losing to a boss wouldn't reset the battle type
- Added animation to and modified first boss's action

EDIT: After many attempts I managed to reproduce the issue once in the old version. A similar number of attempts failed to reproduce it in the new version. Not the best sample size. I do hope you can fix the issue, because I liked the exclamation bubbles.

It's unlikely. I can't reproduce the error at all (though I've seen other people have the same problem), and I can't seem to figure out why it's happening. With the deadline this close, I'm probably best just leaving it.

Thanks for attempting to replicate it with the new version though. Those kinds of 'random occurring' bugs are the worst to troubleshoot.

As for the first boss, I think I only cut it so close because I was under-leveled (4). Still, when I restricted myself to the skills available without leaving the quadrant, I lost with 98 hp remaining on the boss (I was level 6). There isn't much room for variance in strategy with only 6 skills to choose from, so unless all players are expected to bypass the boss at first, I think it needs to be toned down a bit.

Sort of supposed to skip, yes. The general idea is to go for a Dark Soul'ish sort of thing, where you need to go past it for now, and come back later on with better preparation. I've reduced the difficulty for it, but you'll probably still need to skip past it the first time around. I've mostly just changed things so that now you can beat it before getting the second key.


Thanks a lot for giving it a go!

Holy shit - a Neok a game! And it’s completed! :O

Aw… If it wasn’t the fact that I have two people who just recently requested me to review their games for them and if it wasn’t for my fiftieth review spectacular coming up right after that where I’m going to review something classic for it - then I would have reviewed this game! Shit!

…But I can always still play it and leave a comment for it, right?

It’s good to see your work again, bud.

One day I will get that cultivated donuts review!

Well it's supposed to be able to be completed in one hour, so don't expect anything TOO epic. Actually in hindsight, I probably shouldn't have done such a heavy story. One hour is so not enough time for meaningful development. Oops.

You... You actually made it?

How? Why!?

(hi)

Those are very good questions, and the answer to that is

*Runs away*

I'm just glad they finally got around to making it port friendly. Seems like they really dragged their feet on that one, leading them to be one of the last big makers to adopt multiple platforms support.
