Sempiternal Review

author=Reinarc
Thank you so much for taking the time to review this, aquatorrent! I appreciate it.

Over the past few days, I've addressed a few of the issues you mentioned (typos, bugs). I've added a left hand keyboard setup (using WASD to move) and a right hand setup (arrow) keys. I will add some documentation in the game folder, as this would be all be very cumbersome to show in the game itself. You should be able to do most everything in the game without the mouse. Unfortunately the alter system will always be mouse reliant, due to how I set it up.

Items will definitely be required to beat that boss you mention (at least on hard mode), and they are a core part of Kara's strength in combat. However, you'll eventually be able to take her out of your party if you're not an item fan.

I also did tone down the boss you mentioned on normal, if your version had him use an attack and then immediately follow up with another (3 hit attack) that was an error and unintended for normal mode. Apologies.

I'm working hard to make the next part a 4 or a 5! Take care.
nice! Yeah, i wasn't a fan of kara. I didn't know how her alchemy skill works and i didn't like to use potions. Tbe only reason i used her is for the combo attacks and her combo element doesn't match the other two... i guess i'll just switch her when a new party member joins later.

I think i got hit by that three hit attack once after i got the expose darkness. Some of my retries were also caused by my impatience (was hoping i could take out the boss before they die). I didnt know at that time that dead party members will get full xp so i keep on resetting, but i would just leave them next time if it happens again.

Thank you so much for reviewing this game for me for the Secret Santa Extra Return Gifts!!

Sorry for the late gift. It ends up as new year gift rather than christmas gift, hahah.

Amarok's Howl Review

I think it's almost impossible to last until the next phase without triggering other wolves, which is might be the reason why i didn't know that there is a second phase. I agree that it might be caused by the text dump in the tutorial though.

The stealth mechanic was good, but i'm more used to the ones with vision cones rather than sounds. It might give more addition to the enemy patterns too. I can't remember much about the dog (and the game in general since it's been a while since i played it), but if it is the one that suddenly appears when you step on it, it could be added better. Maybe make them roam around like the wolves somehow. I like the variety though.

That sounds nice. Thanks for making the game as well. Wish you a good luck in making the sequel!

I've also already submitted coelocanth's and bicfarmer's pictures as "Fan Art" into their RMN game pages too. Yours is a picture of a random cat, so it doesn't apply anywhere on RMN, and I'm not sure about El_WaKa's Stickman. :P But I've already asked Waka myself via Discord private message, and awaiting a reply XD Oh yeah, about Starmage's Rave Heart game, I did also submit my Ellemine picture through the "Add Media" link for his game. :D Again, all my submissions are currently pending approval.
it's okay, i can put mine in my profile page :)
anyway, that's a lot of submission! you did get a lot of work done in such a short time.

as for your other offer, i think i have to decline for now. i'm suck at strategy games so i'm afraid i won't be able to enjoy and review it appropriately. thanks again for the extra gifts though.
maybe i can give a review for other games you are involved in, if you are okay with that?

Secret Santa Sign-ups 2021

Thanks a lot for the extra gift, kiyasu! That cat looks so cute.

Secret Santa Sign-ups 2021

Yes, it was me. I'm glad you like the guide.

Secret Santa Sign-ups 2021

I didn't have any preference, but anything cute should do just fine (was thinking of dogs or cats). I didn't join as santa though so you don't have to if you want. I just lurk around since i like to see how the event turns out.

I think we have talked in one of the events before (forgot which one), but i made a few steam guides too.

Secret Santa Sign-ups 2021

You won't be able to gift people if the price difference is too high iirc. Your safe bet is to buy keys from third party sites or send them steam digital gift cards so that they can buy the game themselves. That's so nice of you though.

And yes, artwork is way easier than gifting steam games too.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

merry christmas everyone!

Meteo Chronicles (Demo) Review

no problem! glad to see that you are working on a fix. as for your comments:

I'm an absolutely terrible speller, and since I write the script and dialogue on the fly I tend to make a lot of mistakes
everyone makes mistakes, don't worry. in that case, i suggest you to use a spell checker like grammarly. i'm not sure how to implement it directly as you write the script, but you can always copy and paste the text from there to minimize spelling errors.

First of all, not every character is horny. Only Koros, Jeht, and to a lesser extent Zenith is. Stacy is completely pure and innocent (she doesn't know what sex is despite being 17) and Tayo is typical in terms of hornyness. That's only 2 or 3/5ths of the main cast.
sorry if it's not clear enough, but my main point here is to make every character different. having at least one party member gets riled in every conversation doesn't make it an easy read either.

And about the lore inconsistences,
in that case, imo, it's better to include thiefmaster later, in the same game when you reveal this information. since there is no one that knows about this except you, it just makes the lore to be inconsistent, especially combined with that persona joke. if you really want to add it, you can try sticking with one "other worldly" element for now. they might look a bit off, but it won't be as bad as having everything included into one game like this.

Also, Koros never kills anyone close to him?
well, he killed his uncle. i didn't remember any stabbing part tbh, i might forget about it.
iirc, he can become dragon because kairos possessed him, so he technically lost control because of him, right?

And the characters do have a reason for doing what they're doing.
my point about this is how the character just conveniently tags along. for example:
"hey i want to slay this guy"
"oh what a coincidence i want to slay this guy too because he has done this and that"
and then he blurted a lot of fact out of nowhere about his reason for joining your party. maybe chunk it into several cutscenes or something. this is more of a writing issue tbh.

Jeht joins because he has a crush on Tayo and wants payback for the Ebony Order falsely imprisoning him and his family after his father discovered Trello's plans.
jeht's business should have been done after he's out of prison (and town), but he still tags along with no reason except for tayo, which is kinda weak imo.

And about them being bloodthirsty, I don't really see that?
i was referring to the lewd scenes actually.

Sorry if I sounded angry back there. I'm really not. I really appreciate the review, no matter how critical the review is.
no problem. as i said before, i'm glad that you fix the issues. i don't mind with questions, so don't worry about it.
