Hero's Quest 2 Review
author=Scourge
To be honest, I did come across too strong on this.
I feel a little ashamed that my first review on this site was so harshly-worded, especially since it was directed at PurpleBall's first game. I apologize for coming across like an insensitive jerk, and I'd like to try and fix that.
If you want to improve, my original suggestion still stands: play more RM games and learn from them. I can honestly tell you that my first games were weak too, and it was only through playing more games and practicing that I improved at all.
If that doesn't work for you though, there are a boatload of handy VX tutorials for you to use here.
The same thing stands for writing solid dialog and believable characters: read, read, and read some more, and listen to people talk as well. A lot of your dialog came across as wooden and stilted. Real people have chemistry when they speak, but I felt like none of your characters had any. While this can be understandable with characters who don't know each other, your soldiers have been serving together a while. Have them make jokes, references to past events; show us that they are a unit, don't tell us.
The second most important thing to do is to let your project sit. Like almost any other creative endeavor, your game isn't going to be perfect when you first finish it. Let it rest for a while after you put the finishing touches on it and then come back and see where you left off. A fresh mindset is important when bug-fixing and clearing up errors. Obviously I should have let this review sit before submitting it, as it's pretty mean-spirited and rude. With that in mind, I'll be changing the score from this review to 0/5 stars, not to reflect any change in the quality of this game, but to reflect that I was a douchebag. Giving your game a 0/5 rating will, probably, just set your game profile back to how it used to be. I won't be taking this review down, as a lot of what I said still stands. Although I was a jerk about it and failed to give you any really useful suggestions on how to improve, your mapping is still bland, your characters are still bland, and everything could really use some polish. That link of tutorials above will help you immensely with all of that. I will put more helpful links here in the future, but I'm running late for work now.
I'm sorry I came across as being so rude and I honestly hope you can make this game a really impressive one. If you want help with VX, please feel free to contact me. I'm no expert, but I promise I'll provide actual, meaningful aid, and not the kind of jackass "help" I gave you in this review.
EDIT: I'm also sorry that I forgot the name of your game. That alone shows that I should have spent more time on this review.
Dude thanks you are a pretty nice guy.

Can't say I personally agree with this review, mostly because I haven't played the game myself~ xD
But, judging from the screenies, there's plenty of work to be done on 'em..
I've offered to help out over on Pokemon Violet, so yeah I can't say I'll be able to make a diamond out of a turd. (Excuse that..lol :3) But, I can at least offer up the assistance I'm able to put out~ :)
You can help on both if you want

I'm just going to say it straight out: this review is arguably the worst thing I have ever read.
Only kidding. You do make a few attempts to give some actual feedback here.
Honestly though, this is your only written review for the site and it gives the worst possible score, not to mention the repetitious idea of "lolz it sucks". Most people will probably look at your profile and figure you just like to bitch, or that you just love to advertise the fact that an inexperienced author made a really poorly designed game (Omfg, really?!?!). Anyone can look at the game's profile and realize that it's made by an inexperienced developer, there's just no need to pour salt in the wound. If you really want to encourage someone to improve their game, it's sometimes better to take the few suggestions you have for them and post it to the game's wall, or even shoot them a PM.
Anyways, I do look forward to reading some more positive reviews from you in the future.
Dude I like you. Thank you soooooo much :)
