Please don't snackshame TYVM >:(

i wouldn't snackshame if the only place she got ectoplasm was those spooky strudels, but, well, there's all these tasty ghosts lying around...

@Sooz: there are a lot of things that are good enough for Koz that no living soul should ever attempt

these things include spying on your sister's friends through windows, accusing said friends of satanic activity, and enjoying the taste of ectoplasm

1. YEAH it defs reminded me of the kind of lag you see when MV games are played through a browser vs. the computer! I hope you can find the perfect formula there, since yikes programming and tweaking things and eGH... IT'S HARD and I admire you guys for making a custom engine! That is some cool stuff. <3

2. IT'S REALLY CUTE ;___; It DEFS gives him more personality right off the bat, and was one of the main things that endeared him to me! That and his like... brother-ing of Azzy (srsly, calling her Azzy? Also cute as hell!!). He's a cute character, I wanna bake him an apple pie and pinch his face and junk.

3. See, now you've got me more intrigued. <__<; I'm excited to find out more! I really did like this game a lot, I found the whole AP stuff to be great, too? I forgot to mention this before, but when I first opened up the skill menu and saw Azzy's first skill taking 25% of her AP, I was like "WHAT". But then in practice, I actually really, really like how you folks handled skill cost consumption? It adds a nice little level of strategy to things, which I really enjoyed. Battles defs required some thought, even when the strategy was just "do damage + heal allies' damage".

SO LIKE... YEAH... I'M HYPE... <3

all according to keikaku

My lazyness in game development.

HA, I'M NOT LAZY! I JUST HAVE A CHRONIC CONDITION AND A STRESSFUL LIFE THAT DOESN'T LEAVE ME ANY ENERGY LEFT TO WORK ON MY PERSONAL PROJECTS! I JUST CRY INSTEAD! WHO'S THE LOSER NOW!!!!!

*sobs*

But yes I am seconding what Luchi said about "this is a hobby"! This is something I have to tell myself, since YEAH I will beat myself for not meeting personal deadlines or when I discover I haven't worked on game (or any kind of art/hobby) for x amount of time. Don't do that!!! It doesn't help. When the hobby stops being fun and starts being a stress, take a break. You are not making money from this. You do not owe anyone a finished product, because they are not paying you. Take care of yourself first.

THAT BEING SAID, it is sometimes hard to get in the zone and work on a thing! Note that most of my advice is said through the lens of "I have a chronic condition and a lot of stress and do not always have the energy leftover to work on something unnecessary/deal with the inevitable "this isn't good enough you USELESS FUCK" that will come with attempting to work on it", so if this is not your life, defs take it with a grain of salt.

SCHEDULES!!! Schedules are great. I made a game with a pal this summer and we had a loose schedule going, aka "it'd be nice if x was done by y day" rather than "HERE"S YOUR DEADLINE, LOSER!!!". The caveat to this one is I had that little voice saying "if u don't get this done by the time u said it would be done, u will fail ur friend" and that helped propel me along. Doesn't work like that for solo projects, unfortunately. Just gotta have discipline!

I've also found that only doing a little bit a day helps a lot! Do a bit when you wanna do a bit, then put it away when you feel done. Again, this is a hobby! You can take as much time as you want. Your only potential deadline is whenever the next RPG maker is announced and you want to port your game over lmao

Also, fly under the radar! Making regular updates is hard??? It puts a bunch of unnecessary pressure to churn out Stuff to show off, and this kills the man. Alternately, if that sort of pressure helps, MAKE REGULAR UPDATES~ I just know that it makes me, personally, want to throw up and also die.

but yes that's emmych's hot gammak while sick tips, thank u, i'll be here all week

Alrighty so I played this and thought it was actually really great! A few things:

1) The main thing that got to me was the lag. There was a lot of lag inbetween input and characters moving, and between characters casting spells and damage being done. However, I would guess that is more of an issue of the game running through a browser? idk if it is not, you might wanna look at that, since atm gameplay is v clunky.

2) I LOVE THAT KELLAN SAYS SNAKES. Is that just a Thing he says or is it in-universe slang? Because if it is his personal "JENKIES" i would be forever endeared ;___; It's a really great character detail.

3) The heavy one, unfortunately, and it is a question: why isn't Asrael the main character?

Like please bear with me on this one, since like... I am guessing you're in late dev, so me suggesting you make what could potentially be an extreme change might raise your hackles a bit, and I would super understand that. But I would ask you to consider the following: Asrael is the Different One in the village. She also is at the centre of plot as someone who uses magic, and the one whom is being called to by Orozio, AKA The Plot. Sure, he's Kellan's dad, too, but I really can't see how Kellan will factor into this overall plot of Magic and the world being threatened beyond having an issue with his father. Like I'm getting Tidus from FFX vibes off of him right from the get go, only without the "outside character who is a stranger to an established world acting as a way to intro stuff about the world to the player" thing that made it make sense for Tidus to be the hero.

And I mean, ASIDE from that? Asrael is just a far more compelling character. I didn't get invested in the demo UNTIL it started focusing on her more, since there's a lot of cool stuff around her. I personally think Kellan would make a better deuteragonist to her protagonist, since they do seem to have a lot of Cool Interactions and a cute brother/sister relationship that I'm excited to see developed in the full game. And like, Kellan started to grow on me by the end, but immediately shoving the "HE AND HIS DAD HAD PROBLEMS!!!!" plot in my face right at the start without letting me get to know or care about this guy felt like a little much, and I say this as someone who laps up "CHILD AND PARENT HAVE ISSUES!!!" plots like the mana from heaven.

And then there's the whole thing of "having a woman as the protagonist would have your game HELLA stand out in a sea of games about men" but eh that would just be icing, imo. I am more interested in Asrael as the protag for the reasons I gave above.

SO HEY if you're not like... just putting the finishing touches on the game and still have room to make a change like that, I would invite you to consider it! If not, I would invite you to consider this for any future games. More mysterious magical gal as the main character!

Anyways: YEAH fun demo <3 If I end up with a few spare clams after my next paycheque, I'll super chuck a few your way~

~Epilogue~

Lynette stepped through the time gay gate, spear at the ready. An oppressive humidity blanketed the jungle, which buzzed with the buzzing of bees and shrieks of a great pterodactyl.

Perfect, she thought, her lips pulling into a smug smirk, There are countless forest creatures here for me to test my mettle on. She tightened her grip around the spear and set off into the brush, taking care not to trip over any roots.

The jungle was filled with a great many beasts, from furred to feathered, slimy to scaled. All fell under Lynette's spear, and with each new creature scampering away in terror, her confidence grew.

"HA!" Lynette punched the air and clicked her heels. "You've nothing on me, Luxaren's great Hero!" As she continued her victory dance (which was coupled with a "eat it, Karuna" chant), Lynette edged perilously close to a cliff edge, and quickly found herself dancing on thin air.

"Oh no."

Lynette tumbled down like a stone in the sea. It was a sheer drop, and she clung to her spear and she screamed bloody murder. Out of nowhere, she felt something soft hit her from the side, arms close around her, and the sensation of rolling across dirt. With a groan, she sat up.

...I can sit up? Lynette patted herself down and found, aside from a few cuts and bruises, that she was unharmed.

And then she felt someone sniffing her neck.

"BLOODY hell!" she screamed, and jumped back. In front of her was a super babely blonde lady, dressed all in furs and possessing the most wicked muscles she had ever seen. "Wh-who in heaven's name are you?"

The woman grinned, tossing her hair behind her shoulder. "Ayla. I follow you: you strong!" She curled her biceps, and Lynette felt her heart flutter. "Ayla like strong people. Even if clumsy." Ayla let out a belly laugh.

"Why- how dare you!" Lynette pushed herself off the ground. "I'm not-" She immediately fell over again.

Ayla sprang forward and caught Lynette before she face planted in the dirt. "Careful! You hurt?"

"N-No," Lynette answered, unable to refrain from staring at Ayla's six-pack. "I'm fine."

"Good!" Ayla said, and clapped Lynette on the back. Lynette made a "HHUGH" noise and knocked against Ayla's shoulder. "You! You come back to village, yeah? Share food with Ayla!"

Lynette sniffed, trying to hide the blush creeping across her cheeks. "Well. If you insist."
