SHORTSTAR'S PROFILE

This is obviously empty. Tighten up your buildings. Make a building that is like 5 x 5 with a surrounding wall then outside the wall is all black. Tighten up your buildings.

Wow. Again confine areas with fences and treelines. More buildings, shops, thicker trees on the side to restrict the player. Otherwise right now this is just a box.

Yep Minecraft at least had monsters come at night... which is why you need to gather resources.

I played 40 minutes here are my notes >>

- Good intro logo.
- Nice title screen. The title menu could of course be better.
- Good basic tutorial. Could have been done in game though. Like a starter quest or a starter map to demonstrate everything.
- Good and different opening credits. Good accompanying opening music.
- I feel like the opening credits are missing headers that say maps by: scripts by:
- More eventing with the intro would have been good like smoke from chimneys... unless no one lights a fireplace in the rain.
- Noticably Good use sound effects throughout the game.
- Not sure Luffyk's music was the best choice. Finally a RPG maker game with characters that have last names.
- Good use of shinnies that draw attention.
- Good controls, feels very easy especially with the visual.
- I feel like there is too much blunt text for the books. Perhaps a script or a topic choice to break it all up? Maybe even NPCs to tell you.
- More interaction in your own house might be a nice touch... perhaps some clothes.
- I think it would be barging into people's homes... if they had closed doors. Open entrances should be places you can go.
- You're really missing out by not having shop interiors. Sure it sounds trivial, but if there is an indoor shop you should be able to go indoors... otherwise outdoor shops work :-)
- It feels very devoid of life with no NPCs or no movement of any kind in a town.
- The round locked door doesn't match the square opening.
- The ... you got firewood statement should be quicker and disappear without having to hit anything. Even if you miss seeing the number because the window disappears... you didn't miss much.
- The uprooting of items seems very easy and tedious to do. Maybe a variety of mini games...
- Not sure how alchemy increases when you're gardening... Perhaps a digging skill?
- I'd feel better if I could get something special for doing this. Like a 10% chance the log will have something cool in it or a mouse in it.
- Logically I think you need gloves for wild cotton. It hurts.
- There doesn't seem to be any plot that's worth the player's time.
- I feel like this could be the fun part of another game, but as a game its not a game. It's busy work.
- Hopefully environment events respawn after a while.
- Someone else should warn Gordon when he leaves the town.
- Good enemy graphics.

I think the trees need to be over more things and there's no sense of height and depth with all of those random walls.
