MASTEROFMAYHEM'S PROFILE

I actually really enjoyed this review. It’s not nearly as negative as I thought it was going to be. 2.5 isn’t bad, it’s about haft way in my book. Besides, now I can see what problems people might be having that I just didn’t conceder. I’d like to address so of these issues now if I may.

The story (unfortunately for some) will get more serious as it continues. About around the time the bad guys show up and kill a bunch of people for little to know reason. I am still going to try to keep thing humorous by making the villains either hilarious and/or awesome as well as plenty of NPC shenanigans and having plenty of horrible things happening to Nero.

I’m glad you fond the battles difficult but bearable, that was I was aiming for. I get what you’re saying not being rewarding enough. I deliberately reduced the effectiveness of level ups to dieter grinding, but a few extra point per level I don’t think would hurt. I’ll also increase the drop rate of some of the items as well as the amount they sell for. Oh and poison is bad because in most RPGs it’s a throw away condition that you can usually ignore. I wanted poison in my game to be an actual threat causing players to go “Oh crap poisoned! Quick someone toss me a Red Herb!” kind of like in real life.

I’ll be keeping the j-pop battle music because it’s something that hasn’t really been used and I like it, but I understand that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I can though give people the option to change the battle music to something more traditional, that way we can have the best of both worlds. It won’t be implemented for a while (I’ll have to find all those battle themes), but It’s something I’ll defiantly start development on.

That leaves the face sets and sprites and unfortunately it’s also the only thing I really can’t do anything about. See I decided when I started the game that everyone was going to have a face and apart from truly random NPCs I plan on sticking to that. So naturally I’m going to require a huge amount of facets that I’ll have to acquire from where I can get them. Same with sprites, as I developed the game I realised I’m going to end up with a bunch of random unique and/or reappearing characters, most of which will demand their own sprite, which again I’ll have to pluck from wherever I can find them. So yeah, the graphics are going to be consistently inconsistent, but I will strive to keep the graphics at a certain quality (good). Besides if the worst anyone can say about my game is the graphics clash I’ve still done a good job.

I hope the main post isn’t implying that any game that has any of those words in its title should be avoided and persecuted like plague ridden pariahs because there 100% guaranteed to be foul smelling garbage, because that what it sounds like it’s saying to me.

By that logic I should just give up on my project now because it’s called Eternal and therefore will be vile, congealing crap no matter what I do.

I do agree that some words are overused for titles, but that doesn’t mean that they’re going to be crap. Probably unoriginal yes, but not crap.

Not sure (I have a sever lack of play testers), but 1 to 2 hours max. Also the game is hard.

Let me rephrase that. I want the game to be challenging without being “ripping out my hair” frustrating. It’s probably the one aspect of the game I’m most interested in getting feedback in.

That said, be prepared to die in the forest at least one or twice.

Hah, must just be me misreading and misinterpreting it then.
