SCOURGE'S PROFILE

author=KrimsonKatt
Thank you for reviewing my game! That problem with the weird glitching was because I accidentally left in a debug and spell check plugin. The debug plugin is only supposed to work in the play tester and the red highlights are all words that the plugin doesn't recognize, that was inserting data from a 3rd party application. I'm sorry for all the trouble this may have caused and will look into it. It might also be a problem with your computer or you might have virus/adware but that is unlikely. One problem I've had with MV in general is the way MV handles exporting games. It is really backwards in my opinion and you can tell they had to cut a lot of corners to add mobile ports, but even that doesn't work properly. Also I kept forgetting to update the "main download" on this site so that could be another cause of the problem. I thank you for your constructive criticism and will use it to help improve the user experience for all who play my games.

You're welcome! This was actually my first time playing a game made in MV and I was also surprised by the way the files were packaged. It felt and looked very weird compared to other makers. I'm glad to hear those issues were just caused by a debug plug-in; they were a major source of frustration for me during gameplay. Keep up the good work on improving the game!

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.
