ZDS'S PROFILE

This is breath of fresh air on this bleak day. Congrats!

I too have Skyrim Special Edition for PS4 after playing only a little bit of the original on PC.

I've been playing the hell out of it and it's the first time I "get" the Elder Scrolls craze. I tried to get into Morrowind, but I feel like that's more of a project. I might go back to it one day and finally beat the main quest at least.

I did do Oblivion's main quest and Fighter's Guild a couple years back. While I enjoyed it, I thought it was heavily flawed and overall needed a lot of work. The story was interesting enough, but I felt it was told in a really dry way.

Skyrim, I feel like it got it right. It's a lot more relaxing to play. I did the Companion's quest line and the Civil War. I'm at the end of the main quest line. I feel like some people might disagree, but not having to worry about armor repair and limiting the amount of stats to level up really vastly improved the game for me. The gameplay additions, the world, and overall writing also took a great step up.

I'm super invested in the world of Skyrim and actually have a good grasp of it all. The writing, while still goofy and stale at times, is actually quite interesting for the most part. It's by far the least amount of glitches I've encountered in these games, but still has its fair share of them.

While I quite enjoy the game, it still has a lot of flaws. I won't even say anything more about the overall writing and character of the game. Witcher 3 does EVERYTHING right in that regard and I feel like Bethesda should take example of how well that was done.

The whole marriage thing is cool and all, but it feels more awkward than Star Wars Episode 2 romance. For one, there is NO romance. I married Lydia and her dialogue is super dry and weird. She talks in this robotic voice. The game needs a lot of work in developing relations with npcs. If it's half assed, then it probably shouldn't be in at all.

All in all, Skyrim is awesome. It is convincing me to try Fallout 4 sometime soon as well.

Yep! Got a big chunk of the game done during that event. Was actually very helpful at motivating me to actually put work on it. Then my problem was that I finished too fast and needed some time to reflect upon certain plot points of the story and game design choices. All in all, I think everything worked out for the best.

Thanks everyone! The download count officially passed the demo one, which to me is a milestone. I look forward to see how more people like the game!

Your turn, George R. R. Martin!

If only!

I subscribed to this a while back. It looks very interesting, and the way you talk about it makes it only more so. I will be sure to try it out!

Thanks!

YEEEEES! I can't wait to play through it again! Congratulations on the full release zDS! You should be proud of all the work you put into this game.

By the way, make sure to set the new download as a Main Download. There's no download button at the very top, so some people may not realize it hasn't been completed yet.

Thanks man! Your playtesting helped a LOT. I would have been happy if I released it the way it was, but I think I'm much more satisfied now and hopefully won't need to remake this three years down the road. If anything, if I ever want to return to that hard to explain world, then it'd be a sequel. But as of now, I think the story is fine and done. The next game I make, I'm going to AT LEAST make a clear name for the damn world haha.

And I was wondering why the hell the download wasn't appearing haha. I was about to asking someone.

Just beat your game in app. 4 hours.
The story is binding you to your game like a Harry Potter novel.
Great work!

I found two glitches:

• After finding the second rose:
  [21 gained the power of the spirit.

• When learning NOVA I kept the neccessary 5000 Gold.

That was fast! Thanks for playing my game! Glad you enjoyed it! Being compared to Harry Potter is super honorable.

Getting those pesky little errors fixed asap. Just waiting for it to be compressed haha.

Edit: Got them fixed and updated download! Those who downloaded the 1.0 can redownload the new 1.1 version if they wish. Only fixed the two issues mentioned here.
