Hi, I'm OldPat, an italian indie game developer. I'm trying to improve as much as I can, hoping to reach a professional level one day.
I also like to draw a lot and that's another of the fields I'm trying to improve. My English is still a bit bad, so I hope you'll forgive me if I make any mistakes.^^'

Karma Flow - The Prototype Review

Thank you for your review, pianotm!

I mostly agree with what you wrote, except maybe the "how Florien should've been handled" part. I will be much more careful with the length of the sequel's cutscenes. For this game, all I could do was giving the player the option to skip them on a second run of an already completed mission.

You don't really need to stay close to the enemy in order to fight them with the knife, though. As the tutorial says, the knife has a 2-blocks range. You could hit enemies even if they are two blocks away from you.

Is it still dangerous? Well yeah, it is. A bit, at least. But this is not an action game, it's a stealth one. The action element is difficult to handle, as it should be, or else the whole point of going stealthy wouldn't count anymore.

I never thought that the English translation would prove to be THAT bad. At least, this is what your review tells me. Is it really that messy? That is really one huge letdown for me.

Also, I didn't really get the first screenshot's subtitle meaning.

Aside from all that, thank you again. It's good to finally get some feedback.^^

A Halloween Horror

Never got a chance to try and make horror games.
It could prove to be useful training. I'll do my best!
I'm in!

OIdPat's "Art" topic

Hello everyone! How are you doing?
Sorry if I'm very little involved with the community. It's always difficult for me to do so with every new community I join.

I just finished a fanart for my friend Testament's birthday (even though this present arrived a little late^^' His birthday was sometime ago). It represents one of the characters from his game "Pocket Quest!", Lily the succubus.

You'll hate her a lot, but somehow you'll also love her. You'll... see why. xD

Testament is currently working on an English translation, and you can follow the progress here:

I've finished the Italian version and I can say that this is one of the best games made with RPG Maker thus far, imho.
Give it a shot when the English version is available!

Hoping the fanart is good enough^^

Yep! Lesson learned. Just buy whatever you can because if you do well, you will obtain a lot of points anyway :D
I need to stop being stingy.

Flo is way too cool though :>


Oh yeah, she is. 8D

How are you holding up with the game so far, MadJak?

And you can have fun walking along just as your target comes around a corner and panics, surprising the hell out of you. ;D

That can happen as well. xD

I like the concept. I always loved RPG's that happen in a different background than a fantasy world (it's not that i don't like fantasy worlds, you know what I mean). Also I am intrigued by the stealth gameplay. Will download it and give it a try.

I'm glad you like it, VicWhite. Let me know!^^

(Although this is not a RPG at all, it's a pure stealth game).

Finally got around playing it :D
Wondering how much of a factor the time is. I guess you gotta do all sidequests while not alerting the enemy at all for the biggest grade boost.

I always save money in these games thinking there will be something good later but maybe I should just blow them on something...

Time is a factor, yeah, both for your final score in that mission and both because, well, if you take too long it's game over. That and the fact that you need to do both all the sidequests and both avoid getting spotted for a good S-rank.

No worries, though. You can replay episodes anytime you want. Replaying them also allows you to skip cutscenes so you can focus on gameplay alone.
So yeah, you can play it normally for the first run and then go for a S-rank playthrough later.

Time is a factor for the first mission alone, though. From the second onwards the game "opens up" a bit and it's not a matter of doing things quickly anymore. You can decide when and where to kill your target and he moves according to the time of day, so keeping an eye on your watch gives you an idea of where he might be.

You should buy all the available equipments when you can. They are REALLY important. At least buy yourself a pistol when you get the chance.

And I... should avoid telling you anything else, ehrm. xD

Thank you, MadJak! Let me know if you have any question! ;D

I watched your last streams about the McBacon Jam (just finished watching the last one). A really interesting event. Shame I missed the opportunity to join it.^^'
