It lives... AGAIN!

RMN! Oh, good, you're finally awake.

Welcome back, everyone!

It lives!

Welcome back, RMN! Thank you, ankylo! Thank you, kentona! Thank you, Liberty!

Podcastin' and Checklistin'

Oh, right, I completely forgot to mention: As far as pixel artists go, I've heard good things from people who commissioned Mirak / WorldOnPixels before. You could just try and ask if he can provide what you're looking for.

100+ Downloads on RMN! & I'm taking a small break

Well done on all your hard work and promoting your game! Enjoy your time off, you've more than earned it!

LULLABY IS FINISHED (but still needs to be tested for bugs)

Hooray! You did it! Congratulullabyations!

Now, of course, the fun part begins... Playing the same scenes over and over and over again to fix minor issues.

Joking aside, while testing can be slow and annoying, you and any playtesters do get to see your own work in action, which I always thought was pretty cool. And it'll hopefully be worth the extra effort before release.

Thanks for the shoutout. What can I say except: You're welcome? ;)

Skills and Skill Trees

That makes me wonder whether one could implement changes in friendship value if the player / Bradley lets party members get KOed in battle too often or makes them use items or abilities they don't like. Though that might become a little Pokemon-esque, now that I think about it.

Progress Report: Cutscenes completely Done

Oooh, shiny! And flavour text is always good, it can do wonders for worldbuilding, setting atmosphere, and characterisation. Go you!

And yeah, the advantage of making a free game as a hobby is that you have total control over any edits you want to make later on. Polishing your game is great, but having a playable product goes a long way, too.

Or you could add a DLC in the future, if that's your thing. ;)

Skills and Skill Trees

Ronove already mentioned the idea of having increasing costs for more advanced skills, which was my first thought. Another idea I'll just randomly throw in is the possibility of acquiring passive abilities (in addition to the existing active skills) to customise a character and the way they function, though this could be done using equipment or consumable items, too.

Another game that makes excellent use of skill trees as well is Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening. You could ask its creator unity how they balanced this mechanic.

Generally, big stamp of approval from me. Skill trees seem like a much more interesting approach to increasing in power than the standardised levelling-based skill learning you usually find in RPG Maker. (I won't suggest trying out skill combos again, though. We know what that leads to.)
