QZPRODUCTIONS'S PROFILE

If you make one of the original screenshots full screen, it's not hard to read. It's only hard to read as it appears here, which is not how it looks in game.

Even as it appears here, I don't find it hard to read at all. Everything would be easier to read if it were larger but I don't think you need you change it.

But the snark fits right in with RMN haha I like the rose hedges too.

Love me some banter, and wish more games would have little character moments like these. With the amount of screenshots pasted together, though, you would probably have been better off making a GIF instead.

Like Craze, I'm also having a hard time reading the text. I'll second Craze in that the font needs to change and possibly increase in size. Also, and this is less important, consider reducing the dimensions of the dialog box itself if most of your dialogue doesn't cover the entire box. I'd also recommend increasing the opacity of the dialog box itself. There's enough activity in the map that it can get interfere with the text.

Some suggestions for the demo:

A serif font is not recommended for screen reading. Try to find another one.

Pickpocket should be cheaper and hit more often.
And when a monster has no item to steal then say it so or you just use up your MP in hope for an item.
The monsters should drop these items occasionally, too.

The monsters are too strong (Bats and Slimes). You have to use your skills or fight for eternity but that costs MP.

I have to restart because I have no more MP left for the riddels (which are really good).

Ah, well I wouldn't take the words of an outlier to heart too much, since most folks seemed to have enjoyed a lot of the points that I otherwise criticized.

Hm I see your point with Neela, though for Maggie it was less about whether or not she would actually do it, but the possibility that she could as a high risk liability.

I can't speak for your experiences so I'll take your word for it on the dialogue, though maybe it was just the framing of it all that was throwing it off for me. And like you say, I don't mean for it to apply to all of the dialogue (though there are probably better ways I could've worded it).

Dolores' melodrama is its own kind of fun and I can see why people liked it, it's just that personally I felt like the game would've benefited from more nuance given the circumstances (again, very subjective).

And I'm sorry you feel that way about your art! I think you're on the right track with it, if you could work digitally and smoothed out those lines, I think you might have something you can use if you keep at it! (then again, I tend not to care that much even if a game does happen to have less quality art but I see your concern). It's good that you're commissioning artists though, that's nice to hear.

The review came off harsher than I intended, I did actually find it an interesting and compelling experience despite all of my complaints (rip) I hope your new game goes well, knowing your style I'm sure a lot of people will love it!
