VISITORSFROMDREAMS'S PROFILE

author=Shepple
First of all, I wanted to say THANK YOU! for giving the game a chance even though it's not your usual cup of tea. It's honestly super kind of you. But, yes, it is highly influenced by old 2000s era anime and video games I used to indulge myself in as a typical nerdy Asian kid, lol.

This is a good review! It's informative and concise and I agree with the nitpicks, actually. I'm not very good at animations, so I just left that to the stock assets while I focused on other graphics since I found myself constantly going back to fix older things up as development progressed. I was thinking of shrinking the animations to make the pixels match up with the game at the very least maybe? I'll try to see what I can figure out for that. It does break the "pixel" feel, hmm...

As for the puzzles, you'll have pringle to thank for that, and the dialogue is thanks to cantrip7! These dudes are super talented and I'm really grateful for their work.

The video showed the Dustdevil monster. The Yowies in the game look like this:

They're supposed to be "Yamabiko" but we wanted to name some of the monsters after similar cryptids from other countries so some names aren't too hard to pronounce, like "Bakedanuki." It was one of the first things to come to mind when thinking of another timid ape-like creature. But hey, it's still cool you were able to recognize that!

Getting stuck revising old parts of a game is something my next game has suffered from for several years now. Its not easy to just move on, especially when your constantly improving. You have a super solid team and your work is really excellent, I cant wait to see how the community receives the final game as well as where you all go from here!

Hey, that's a nice review! However, why is this video not public? : O
Let me know if you'd be interest in reviewing The Tavern.

The review isn't public yet because I have a weekly release schedule. In terms of reviewing your project I am certainly interested but have my next few months worth of titles all planned out so it could be quite some time before I get to it. Thank you very much for the offer!

Looks super interesting, I look forward to watching it evolve over time!

w00 Finally!

Its like this whole game was made in secret and then dropped on us like a surprise. I love it. <3

What a great proof of concept. I kind of wish the NPCs bled a little less into the backgrounds, and I hope attack animations get added into the battles to make them more visually interesting BUT mechanically, this is a really strong foundation.
