Finally working on getting my original VX Ace project out while I still can, then maybe I'll move onto an episodic MV project.
I'm just a dude who likes oldschool RPGs and never seems to have the time to finish making one :P.

DEViL::ender Review
author=Craze
Dorothy should be using items in emergencies since she's the fastest!
I pretty much demoted her to healer lol. But usually things completely falling apart were directly related to her dying (defense debuffed hellsweep damage) and the rest of the party having to switch to emergency mode. And benny yea I grinded up 5 or 6 levels before facing him the last time and beating him.
Quick semi-related questions - when she leveled up it had her at 400+ speed, but it only showed as like 219 in the equipment window. Did I mess something up somehow?
DEViL::ender Review
Oh lol I forgot to mention that - I did laugh at the poor silent protagonist. And nah, I'm just THAT unlucky :P. The people attempting to use heart mist would get stunned, put to sleep, or killed before they could use it every single time, and then he'd fire off hellgate twice with most of the party debuffed. Also the review was because I hardly had any contest games left I hadn't submitted one for, not for the sole purpose of ranting about the boss. He just literally took more than half the time I spent with the playthrough, so the whole thing was fresh in my mind.
Succession Review
Ahh gotcha. Haha I might not have jumped to conclusions so quickly if the file hadn't been named "Encounters of the Boss Kind - Succession."
I did have fun with it though. I'll edit the review slightly now.

The dragon OHKO'd my whole party lol :(.
Update: The Xoloquotl or whatever you named him boss entirely luck-based. It was fun until I had to spend 5 turns trying to recover from the hellgate that he spammed every. single. turn. And then oh look! He stunned my healer! And put the guy who was gonna use a potion to sleep! Well that's ok, I'll just have every single character use the recover all item. Oh wait. Hellgate. Again. Whole party is dead. Wait, one survived! Oh but he gets to attack again. I don't normally quit games, but I'm pretty much done. I guess I should just aimlessly grind for a while? :/
Update 2: Still fighting him, but why does Aluxes miss every turn even when he's not blind? And Hellgate twice in one turn, the same turn I'm going to use phalanx, before phalanx actually goes off? *THE NERD RAGE IS BUILDING*
Alright so I got through that fight and finished the rest of the game without incident. But it took me TWO. HOURS. *sigh*

Project Meta μη Review
Hahaha oh wow. Those symbolic leaps of logic make the story gymnastics I performed to connect all the default RTP backstories look mild. Also I guess I should clarify for readers that the "temporary actors" part was referring to the game's script, hence the "how appropriate" remark.
Meta me. SO IT WAS YOUR PLOT ALL ALONG. I KNEW IT! *Draws RTP Dragon Shield and Tyrfing sword*
Also Solitayre thanks, I'm just trying to be a good influence :D.

Armored Review
The aspects I felt went unresolved were why the monsters knew so much and acted so high-and-mighty, and where the characters went from that point on. It seemed like the bosses all knew something that I didn't, and then nobody ever told me what it was. (Does that make sense?)
Also, I can understand leaving him cursed and letting player to imagine whether he ever found more survivors, but I like to at least know what I was fighting for. Since beating the monster neither broke the curse nor explained to me why the talking monsters were in the cave right next to my house, I felt like I hadn't achieved much by defeating the boss. (It wasn't a huge issue, hence the 4/5, but the story didn't feel like it was over.)

Infinite Loop Review
In that context, I guess you could say that "to patronize" someone means to treat them like they wouldn't be able to figure simple things out on their own. The errors are completely forgivable though.
I guess Nightmare's battler was what I was referring to, rather than the sprite, I'll have to look into CLOSET.
And I actually really enjoyed SAO's story... until episode 14. The end of 14 was disappointing, 15 was alright, and then the series fell apart after 16 lol.

Infinite Loop
I CAN'T. FIND. THE SECRET ROOM. I NEED TO KNOW HOW IT ENDS MAN. *twitch. twitch.*
Edit: Ah. I guess the entrance to the secret room looks almost exactly identical to the entrance to the room you can't turn back after entering lol. That would explain why even after seemingly trying everything I still couldn't find it XD.

An RM Venture
So two of the games seem to have been taken down, and 3 of them don't work for me. (I still need to try Yellow Magic's suggested fix; I can probably get Iris up and running.) Seeing as how I legitimately can't finish this almost as insane as trying to enter the contest after finding out about it 3 days before the end project, I think I'm going to call it quits here. I was never that big on shiny badges anyway. *Pretends he wasn't disappointed with his failure in this contest. Or his inability to get an oak leaf on his marksman ribbon.*
That being said, I hope I've contributed towards getting a podcast or something of the sort for those that wanted it, and that my feedback was at least somewhat helpful. Also same deal as Unity, just post something if nobody's given commentary on your game yet and I'll give it a shot.
