The New Us

The design goals and overview look like a really wonderful roadmap for a project. Let me know if you need testers.

Mel's Saga: Demon God's Vessel

Okay, feedback incoming.

-This is a really cool blend of systems. I like the action rpg elements, and the platforming looks cool and natural. They do a lot to dress up the fairly standard rtp tile and spritesets.

-The character art is awesome.

-The world map looks a little cluttered, but having the names display for every location makes it really easy to tell what is and what is not a valid place to go.

-The script feels a bit translated. If you've got everything in a word doc and you'd like me to proof it, just let me know.

-It's weird that some swears are censored and not others, especially since there are so many of them.

-It is weird that Mel's first priority before clothes or shelter is picking fruit in the forest.

-The card system is really cool and the cards look awesome.

-The enemy radar and battle systems look great.

-Enemy battlers look super cool too.

-Cards coming from things that happen to Mel (scold, bath, etc) is a really neat gimmick too.

Mel's Saga: Demon God's Vessel

I totally understand. No worries.

I'll check out the youtube video and try to offer some feedback based on analyzing that. It's not the same as playing, so my feedback will be a little limited, but I should still be able to get a feel for some of the art and mechanics.

Oh, okay. Would you be willing to create an exe that doesn't have the extra protection? That way I could check and see if it's indeed the extra protection that's interacting with my antivirus software.

Again, I lost a computer in an "I'm positive it doesn't have a virus" incident, so when Norton red-flags something I'm always trust-but-verify.

The card system still looks cool, and it's neat that you're offering clean and non-clean versions of the game, but you may want to mention in the game profile that both of these versions will be offered, and that the game is equally enjoyable in its depornified, non-spicy state.

Aaaand Norton's picking up a virus in the current .exe

Usually Norton's pretty good about telling me when something's simply not community verified vs when it's behaving like a virus, and it thinks the game executable is behaving like a virus. I've also lost a computer to an rpgmaker game before, so I'm inclined to be a bit cautious.

Also, is this a porn game?

The game description and screenshots here don't suggest that it is, but the thumbnail image and some of the other images over on the download page make it look like maybe there's a bunch of adult content.

This looks super cool. I'll take a shot at testing it tomorrow.

the machine that BREATHES

yesssssss

Great aesthetic, and I welcome the throwback to older-school ps1 survival horror.

Connection: Fairy Birthbloom

I definitely don't think it necessarily needs a lot of depth. Just a line of dialog somewhere to explain it.

Connection: Fairy Birthbloom

The minigame flowers are just normal flowers and you're defending them from bees just because? Weeeeird.

This feels like it needs some sort of lore reasoning behind it. Even if the minigame's fun, if there's no apparent reason in the story why anyone would want to do it, it's going to feel kind of offputting to the player.

Maybe the faeries also feed on nectar, so they're keeping the bees away from their crop?

Connection: Fairy Birthbloom

I could also see it as, like "a flower that is pollinated normally becomes unsuited for serving as a birthbloom."

This would allow you to add in other enemy sprites later if you wanted. Hummingbirds, moths, etc.

Still, if bees are a problem, it begs the question of why the faeries don't just put the birthblooms in greenhouses. Maybe it's a custom to ensure that only especially dedicated faeries can grow a birthbloom all the way to a new fairy's birth? Or maybe the faeries just don't have glass-crafting tech? From a quick skim of the images that have been posted, I don't see any buildings with glass windows, so maybe this is the best option.
