1/1.5 - so horribile I will not mention it. No one would like this trash.
2/2.5 - bad but with some good qualities or good
but with many bad flaws. Could have been worse and some people may like it anyway.
3/3.5 - from decent to good games. This is what I normally expect: entertainment. Some people may like it more, others less but it's ok!
4/4.5 - exceeded my expectations. These are must play for everyone.
5 - Rpgmaker Nirvana

Pawn Beach: Sal Goes to the Store to Buy Some Milk Review
author=jake-d
Yeah, the narrative and the way everything's set up are the parts I'm the least happy with, if I make more with this idea I want to make sure to give the core cast and the whole "dreams are actually real" thing a more formal introduction to the player, as well as actually try utilising the pawn shop setting since that was barely even relevant in this game
yeah, I admit that the world and characters (I mean also the ones met during the trip) are intriguing, also thanks to the custom art, of course.

It's funny that you should mention Trish (full name Tristan) because I also meant for him to be male and to have the others just refer to him as Trish as a shorthand / affectionate-ish nickname. Can't believe I managed to make two of the main characters' genders confusing but again, I'll make it more obvious if more stories featuring them are to be told
Aha well I admit they are only seen/talked to briefly, and being them humanoid creatures it's easy to be mistaken. Also Tristan... well Trish... looked like the classical airhead (blonde) naive young girl. Again, stereotypes (still Trish seemed an apt name for a girl), lol!
Pawn Beach: Sal Goes to the Store to Buy Some Milk Review

Thanks for your 5 minutes!
I pretty much agree with all of your points. This wasn't by any means a complete vision for a game as much as an excuse to test out the world and some of the people in said world while making some silly gags in the process, and at some point I would like to try making something with more substance (and some actual gameplay) that fleshes them out a bit more, like maybe an episodic series of some kind to really lean into the workplace sitcom angle hard. Probably not very soon, possibly not even this year, but eventually
Well gameplay is not really a necessity, I mean a longer story, more episode, more events would make it really interesting, because there were so many questions about the setting, the characters, it's a pity that some things lead to nothing... well I guess! Like the items (optional) found, the brick part, let's say that I expected them to have some impact on the story. IF I did not miss something!

Just one thing I should make clear: Rory's supposed to be female, but I'm pretty sure the only line of dialogue that explicitly refers to her as such is optional so that's entirely my bad and i'll do better next time i promise
REALLY?? I totally pictured Rory as the sterotypical male boss/owner that treats badly the employees (except for the favourites) as it's seen in most media. I rather believed that Trish was female (well Trish is girl's name and Rory is a gender neutral name, anyway all Rorys I have seen were male, well nevermind I corrected).
My Little League Team was Abducted By Aliens Review
author=thesacredlobo
So you didn't notice how one of the character sometimes has parts of his body over tiles he shouldn't?
ah yeah I noticed that anyway I admit I liked that Nick is not following exactly behind the protagonist. If you check the part where you have all the gang, also the others are slightly left or right, anyway I liked this "imprecision" and I believed it was done by purpouse in this case. Part of the charm is the cheesy looking, anyway I did not notice that overlapping because when I went there that little guy was aggressive so it's was a really frenetic moment!
On the other hand I noticed another probably more important issue: if you approach the cheerleader in her room from a different way from the one expected, the moment before she gets aggressive, you may freeze the game: there is a cutscene that makes the two characters back away after a dialogue, and if you have that sort of coffee table behind you, the two won't be able to walk backwards!
Soooo... you'll be forced to exit and reload.
Trust Or Betrayal Review
author=thesacredlobo
I'm guessing you didn't notice the magic door that appears in the top right corner after you've slept in the barracks that let's you explore a sea of brown tiles. I'd definitely consider that a mapping issue worth mentioning.
I did it
it's this: "Oh and you can also walk on the upper floor that apparently seems to extend for mile after mile"
Dys: Eternal Space Jail RPG Review
author=DungeonDevDude
I'm glad people are playing this. It's really underrated and it has some stability issues but it's fun and worth it!
Yeah unfortunately the engine is brought to the extreme and clearly not optimized for this kind of game. Anyway it's still impressive. Great art too.

Thank you TheRpgmakerAddict for playing and leaving a review!
Yay it was short but fun! ;D
My Little League Team was Abducted By Aliens Review
author=thesacredlobo
I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention the lights in the secret lab since they cause quite a few mapping errors.
Or maybe you did and I missed it since I'm trying to skim this review for certain keywords. After all, it's about time I went to bed since I have to be at work in under five hours.
Yeah, I missed these, of course! I noticed the panels on one of the doors, the laundry and the kitchen ones, but it seems I didn't catch the less obvious ones!

I don't remember in which episode King Piccolo blasts Goku and Bulma with the Explosive Demon Wave...
Heh jokes aside it looks really cool! I've to check this game sooner or later!

Dys: Eternal Space Jail RPG Review

Congrats on your first review of 2023!
I super wanted to try this few years ago, but it kept on crashing on my lappy (linux troubles with scripts). I'm glad that I finally know more about the game and that my good feeling about this was justified.
Keep on rocking, Addict.
Thanks!
Well the base concept of this game is pretty much simple, it does just one thing, dungeon exploration with battles, without any kind of story or puzzles, but it does it really well and with lots of style! And first person rpgmaker games are really few, unfortunately this game also shows the limitations of the engine (may crash), but I cannot blame the developers! So far LOVEgames' games are pretty good!
