WHEELMANZERO'S PROFILE

That tip about giving the player a heads up about the slime is a great idea, so thank you. When you're the dev and know exactly what to do, you tend to lose perspective on this kind of stuff.

I've heard people give different explanations for why they believe a particular summon is strongest, but this is my first time hearing a pitch for the kraken. His raw power is low and most of his skills are fueled by TP, but there's no doubt he's a status inflicting machine when properly leveled. I was worried being able to attack twice might make him too broken, but I've been heard he's been neglected due to his low offense. I'm glad you were able to discover his true potential though.

Lanith was a delicate balancing act. Her appeal was meant to be the fact that she can actually deal damage while being a powerful healer, while the game's other healers have the offensive power of a wet sock. I was worried that making Lanith both powerful and an excellent healer would result in all the other summons being neglected. After all, you wouldn't have to waste a turn swapping monsters if you had a white mage and a sweeper all in one. Odin should still be vulnerable to charm moves, though he can't be confused, so that aspect of Lanith's second charm move won't affect him and a few other male bosses.

Truth be told, I'm also more of an offense guy than a defense guy when it comes to strategy, so I wouldn't bother using the Slime's defensive moves myself. When coming up with skill sets however, I had to think of how a Slime would fight when it came to designing its skills. I think the slime works a lot better as an offensive creature at higher levels when used with Stormbringer. Even so, it's really meant to be a Magikarp before it finally becomes a Gyrados.

Holy smokes, why is everyone 10 to 20 levels above where I was when I beat the game? I thought you guys were supposed to hate grinding! Bah! But yeah, it's no surprise you demolished the final boss with stats like that. The next version's final boss will be a bit more aggressive though, and the overall difficulty will be a bit higher. I designed the pieces of the final boss to seem like a single unit with parts that all attacked differently, but now that I think about it, having each piece disappear after it's defeated would make it seem like the whole thing is slowly coming apart. Ha! I can't believe I didn't think of that before.


The last battle with Athena was meant to be impossible, so it's no wonder it took you so long. Blasted players, stop being so good at video games! I've tweaked that scene with some altered dialogue for those who win that battle in the future.

The maid faces came from a pretty tiny picture, hence the blurriness. I've been trying to think of a way to sharpen them up, but haven't had any luck so far. I just really loved those faces and how perfectly they matched the sprites. I haven't given up hope though, maybe there's an online editing program out there that can help me improve them.
