VERSALIA'S PROFILE

Or should we simply lump everything into one shop and possibly overwhelm the player?

It sounds like you already answered your own question

Do not make a post about a forthcoming post, it's stupid

Two issues, solved

- Scan's text is now different to clear up some things that didn't seem like they needed clearing up.
- The dialog box that kicks off the game is now fixed (we can all sleep at night now).

Oh no! When I fix all the errors... you guys can dislike the game for what it truely is.

Could you possibly make some changes or updates that aren't phrased in such a way as to shit all over anyone with a criticism for you? You seem like you care by actually updating, but then you include some really petty passive aggression as reasoning. Sorry but not every single aspect of your game is going to be 100% acceptable to everyone who plays it. Stop acting like a bitter child.

Yes, you can.

Ouch. I counted the scripts. Theres 50+ custom scripts. How do you think I made the friendly battlers or the bestiary or the scan or the shoot arrows or the multiple equipment slots?

Okay, that is true, although I guess I should have more carefully defined "custom scripts." There's some customization, and some scripting, but everything feels very... default. It's probably my inexperience with the engine, so you can ignore this.

You do know certain skills are used to kill certain enemies. You need to constantly be thinking about how you can win instead of just pushing the attack button.

No, I do not know this, because nothing/nobody EVER tells me this.

I guess I can hit the player with class information in the game. I know Dragon Quest 3 didn't, but people still love that game. Chances are, I'll over inform people about each class.

DQ3 also came out many years ago when games were held to a different standard. I'm sure that, while people love that game, nobody will ever specifically say "You know what I like ABOUT DQ3? The fact that I was totally uninformed about the classes' abilities." Yeah. I really like that you updated with class info though! This rocks.

The whip lets you stun enemies without a skill and you can attack flying or tall enemies WITHOUT A SKILL. The whip also gives you agility and its a stronger weapon! Perhaps I need more townspeople to tell you that.

While this is true I'm sure, in the review when I said there was no reason to use whips, I meant there was no explanation IN the game as to WHY I should use the whip. Perhaps the whip's description should be "Hits Flying, Tall."

You're not in a friendly battler party. If you come across 2 parties battling... your party is a 3rd party. Like if Russia & Europe had a fight and the US came along. We're 3 different countries.

Yeah, but, they're described as "friendly." The IMMEDIATE assumption is that they are allies, and not just a neutral third party. Perhaps when they appear in combat it should alert you - "You stumble upon a battle already in progress!"

I see your focus on the mistress. I will make it so you can give her jewelry. That's probably an overlook on my part. All classes should be able to use jewelry.

...

I think what I got from this review is >> Not uber mistress of my dreams. Rawr.

Not sure where you're getting that idea. My only complaint was that she couldn't wear jewelry (and I was half-joking, honestly; think about it. Giving jewelry to your Mistress...) and my other complaints were completely mechanics- and gameplay-based. Like never being told what a whip does. That's not a complaint that Mistress isn't uber, it's a complaint that I am not informed about the resources at my disposal.

But I'm thrilled that you're updating!
