Half-Off Hero: The World Needs Savings
author=DomedVortex
I've enjoyed the game so far! The visuals were effective, and the audio (Is it custom-made as well?) was nice to listen to. It is indeed hard, but that's what I liked; it made me choose my actions carefully, and I wanted to work hard to turn the merchant into a proper hero. It felt so satisfying to make noticeable progress in terms of strength. I will admit, however, that despite the autosaving, I tended to close out of the game whenever I lost a battle, and that happened more times than I could count, to be honest... (Maybe you can punish my kind of behavior by having the game autosave right when a battle starts)
My first playthrough was unfortunately cut short; I closed the game in Coastridge (probably when an autosave was going on), and I lost the file! I fully intend on playing more, though. The story and characters have kept my interest, so I want to see all of the endings. Great job!
Woo! Thanks for the kind words DomedVortex. The audio is all from the RPGMaker DS resource pack. I've never used music that was made exclusively for one of my projects but it's something I'm interested in doing in the future. I'm glad you enjoyed the difficulty, story and visuals so much! Sorry you lost your progress. F12 and the autosave script I use don't get along too much.
I plan on adding a lot to this game to try to offset some of the issues but it's great to hear someone enjoying my work! Hope you can see all the endings one day! I actually plan on adding a few as well.
Free Spirits Review
Thanks for writing this review kumada, it rocketed this game to the top of my IGMC playlist and I'm glad I got to play it sooner. Very enjoyable!
McBacon Jam #2
Well dang. This would have been the perfect chance to make a game and get more experience in a team environment. But between school starting the week after the jam starts and working at my job I don't think I'd have enough time to contribute well to any team I would be on... I can probably help out with the jam in a small way if that's needed though.
Edit-Question for those that were in this jam last year: How much free-time would one need to realistically participate?

Half-Off Hero: The World Needs Savings
Thanks for the feedback shayoko!
I'm probably going to end up taking this game off "completed" status since I had run out of time on the contest and there's still so much I want to fix, change and incorporate.
Addressing a few of your concerns:

Addressing a few of your concerns:
Weapons each have their own skill you can use in battle so I tried to keep them all around the same strength but it still needs balancing.
Danvers can upgrade your shop to 9 total customer placemats and 9 total boxes. Though I wouldn't recommend bringing that many customers in yet.
The customers and the items they're interested in are color coded. :) Pay attention to their outfits and you'll get the hang of it.
Hiding is a random chance depending on the enemy. It is possible, but also kind of intentional to have it so hard to do. I was planning to incorporate a more stat-based system at a later date.
It IS possible to kill Vaectus ultimately. Just not in the conventional way. :)
I plan on making quite a few changes down the line. A lot of the design choices were intentional to try to reinforce the narrative but I can definitely make things easier and more clear. Hopefully I can make things more user-friendly without sacrificing what I was going for. :)

This artwork has succeeded in gaining my interest! I'll have to give this game a try.
Sweet! Let me know what you think when you get around to trying the game! We worked hard on it and I plan on coming back to development at a later date to make improvements. Only had so much time during the IGMC after all so I had to make a lot of changes. But I'm always looking for feedback. The game itself can be quite the challenge.

Thanks for the kind words! My artist is so talented it blows my mind. Mendi is one of both of our favorite characters. Fun fact: That's not even her scary face. :)
So... IGMC 2015

Game Jam - Indies VS Gamers, with PewDiePie, Markiplier & Jacksepticeye
I dunno guys. This is only 4 days long. I'm sure some designers could probably do both. Plus a game being played by PewDiePie is a hell of a boost for any aspiring designer. I mean, Pom Gets WiFi is still the top trending game at this site after all. And that's after nearly two years.
So... IGMC 2015
So the prize pool is 5% of the humble game bundle sales? Not bad considering the amount is already over $60,000. The grand prize should be over $10,000 before you know it!
(Though I imagine some people will ask "Why is it only 5%? Rabble rabble rabble." Because you know...it doesn't cost anything to run a contest right?)
But what was the ghost guarding in this video? Inquiring minds need to know.
