Steam Demo Festival Aftermath  - Was it worth it?

This is some really interesting read. Thanks for making such detailed report of it :D

Because my own development is in such limbo that I can't say when the game is coming out before like it's two week's away, I always miss events like these. Obviously it's a big miss.

Hopefully you'll get a great launch because of the breathing hype machine! I'll go check out the demo too right now. I think I have yet to play it.

Featured Game Give Away!

author=Knightowl
I've been spending more time watching playthroughs on youtube of F&H 1 and 2...


Yeah I totally get why people are playing like that. Especially how difficult the game can feel initially, it's nice solace to get a successful save. That's why I'm designing the second game to support that kind of gameplay more. F&H: Termina has got a safe savespot in the very first area without any catch really. (time does progress every time you save the game, but that only affects certain endings)

In general, Termina is going to be more welcoming experience. I don't want the game to be as hostile towards players.

Featured Game Give Away!

@Starmage, I'm glad you got your copy! I wasn't sure if this was a good way to give away keys, like is there some bot scanning internet 24/7 for this kind of stuff? But apparently at least some people were able to grab their copies.

@Knightowl, I updated the Discord link. And yeah, the full version has more leeway in its saves. You get one save free and there is the whole Lucky Coin system that gives you better chances in coin tosses in general. The game does give you safe and sure savepoint later on in the game. The original intent was that the early part is kinda like roguelike where the player is encouraged to try different things with each new playthrough, but I think it's not told well enough and pretty much everyone tries to force their early saves. The game and me is to blame for that, but hopefully you'll be able to get into the groove regardless. If there're any big problems, maybe I can help a bit.

The Demo Version 2.0 is Out! / May 2020

I will aim to play some this week.
awesome! I'm just uploading a fix-version to the new demo. Make sure you get that instead!

Future games?

triple post?? something weird happened here!

Future games?

double post for some weird reason. sorry! D:

Future games?

I'm glad you're continuing the series! I have yet to finish the first game so I don't know if some of these opinions will change later on, but these are the things I liked the most so far:
- The overall gloomy atmosphere
- Dungeons and their puzzles
- The world building
- Mapping
- The more open-ended sections of the game

I won't comment on the overall story and characters yet.

The biggest thing I'd like to see improved is that you'd give the gameplay your own stamp too. Either a mechanic to battles that is unique to your game or some kind of skill system. Maybe the skill system would be the biggest thing for me personally. I'd like to be able to customize the characters a bit more.

But overall, there's lots of potential in the world you've created. The biggest draw for me is that and judging from the snippets of graphics you've shown, the atmosphere will only be strengthened.

The full version is out!!

Congrats on the release! I for one like that you stuck with explicit nudity. It makes the game more interesting. Good luck with getting rm games to new audiences!

And unfortunately commercial games can not be nominated for Misaos.

Yeah the explicit content is definitely part of this game's identity at this point. I'm glad to spread the joy of RPG Maker to elsewhere too :D I've had many people come to me and suggesting that I move onto other platforms, but my roots are tied to RPG Maker pretty firmly and I kinda dislike the general consensus of a 'child's toy' the engine has.

The full version is out!!

Congrats, man! Like, seriously! I wonder if it's just in time for the awards?
Awards? :O Honestly the game is niche even in the RPG Maker scenes, so I'm not expecting much :D

The full version is out!!

@kumada, yeah the mailbox is glitching on me too. I got 4 unread messages at all times :D We need to start a new chain.

But yeah the intensity eases up a bit with the new areas. This is partly intentional too, because I felt the game needed a bit of contrast in the atmosphere. Every now and then the game still reminds the player what they really are playing. Especially by the end of the true ending. Also @kumada, I tweaked few of the bosses thanks to your feedback and I think they are pretty intense now.
