THENECROMANCER'S PROFILE

The download is called Arcane Odyssy 3... huh?

You gotta lose the forced pauses in your dialogue. It makes things extremely awkward.

And... (forced pause, 5 seconds later) *rest of the text*

This was the worst offender in the opening conversation(i skipped the intro and im glad i did :/). I prefer to read things at my own speed. Some texts boxes had pauses and some didn't. Some text boxes closed automatically and some didn't. I'd like to see some consistency and no pauses. Let the player set the pace, or at least make things go faster. It's far too slow.

The names are very strange and hard/weird to say out loud. I like to say the names of people in my head and I don't like saying these names >.> but w/e, maybe that's just me

The walk speed x.x oh god the walk speed, its slower than slow because every time you take a step there is a slight pause to play a sound effect. I'm still in the first village and already I want a horse. Also, I don't usually hear that loud of a sound walking on normal length grass, save it for the tall grass/water.

The layout of the inside of tents is wrong. The tent only has square space but the bottom of each interior funnels down. They should all be perfectly square inside because they are square on the outside.

When you place a bonfire, there should be some kind of different ground below it. They usually have that kind of impact on the dirt around it. Should there be a bonfire inside the tents?

The items in the tents are very sparse, and what's there seems out of place.

The bottom of the beds overlap the wall of the tents. I think those are beds..

The tiles seem to be very low quality, even for RPGmaker. I guess all the coloring is supposed to be shadows, but it just looks like graphical "noise". Like when you downscale an image to less colors or even convert to .jpg :/

Again, it's very jarring to be reading through text and then a random text box is set to close automatically and after I'm done reading I press space to close, but it doesn't close.

When he says "lets see what I have in my bag" and then magically acquires items...didn't he already have those items? It would make more sense for him to just say out loud what he already has instead of a system message saying you got new items. Then it's him talking to himself about how to recover health and such, that kind of thing would make more sense as a system message

The tutorial had a bit too much text. You explained things that didn't need explaining.

The battles are interesting in theory...however, they don't play very well. First of all, the button layout. It's all over the place. Especially in an ABS it's a terrible idea to make me take my hand off the movement keys in order cast a spell using *. The main functions should be mapped to Shift,Z,X first(shift,accept,cancel) and then if you need more buttons, go with the numbers just above that(no keypad).

Talking to the chief, again with forced pauses. They don't give the sense of drama that I think your going for. In most cases the person doesn't have their eyes on the part of the text that you want them to when the pause happens anyways. Also, putting a pause at the end a line is baaaad. "use your(pause.......)anima(pause......) *press button to close text box*

In the very first battle against 4 red slimes I was randomly slashing. After a while of them not dying I focused my attacks on a single slime. I hit it close to 10 times and it showed no signs of stopping. And there's 4 of them! Terribly overpowered for the first fight of the game.

When you get hit, and dodge, and jump, you should remain facing the same way or at least turn around. Not jump to the side and face a random direction because then I have to make a little circle to position myself for attack again. Just a minor annoyance.

After dying on the first battle, that's it for me.

There are plenty of good things here: The blinking is a nice touch. The mapping isn't awful even if the tiles are somewhat poor. The night/day system seems more realistic than most. There are plenty of good systems here that would make it more interesting than the standard RPG however things overall appear kind of sloppy and the pacing is far too slow.
