Sealbreaker Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Good idea. A change that I would definately like to see is more equipment. Until the end on level 7 i dropped nothing but knives and 1 whip which all weren't really that good. I think some more equipment would give the player some more sense of accomplishment. I especially loved the small side-quest-like things like the secret passage in the beginning where you get more hp and the little dialog on fighting a tree :DMore of such wouldn't hurt in the future too.-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definately do that. :)And wow! Level 7! I've had a few friends test it and I've watched them and on average they were level 5 by the end of the demo. I assume you thouroughly checked each area and fought all encounters. Any criticism as for difficulty scaling? The game starts off easy to cater for both new players, and also the fact that the players at level 1 have no items or skills. (Also, the boss at the end of the demo has a bug where it died way too soon, so ignore that). However, difficulty will scale higher as they have more opportunity for items, skills and strategy. Unfortately I've made the game up as I went, so I didn't really make much content yet, but I will fix that. The next demo will feature an actual city with lots of shops and more content. I'm also going to continiously revist and revise earlier areas to make it play out a bit better. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Loads of progress done. For an in-joke, this game is sure coming a long way. Here's a few more screenshots. I'll have to release a new demo soon if there is interest!![](http://eclipseorigins.com/community/filehost/05c30c3c5687f9e71cf9798eafb39c35.png)![](http://eclipseorigins.com/community/filehost/a06fa09f78863b70c901015bbc1d3c79.png) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big plan is once I finish the initial version of the game, (get all the areas mapped and the storyline done), I'll go back and add double the content, including more characters, expansive dialogue depending on party members, more secrets, lots more items, some rarer spawns, etc.I've also decreased the spawn rate so it doesn't become too frustrating when you wish to explore, and not be bombarded with encounters. I'll continue to tweak this until final release, until everyones happy. I'll probably make some pokemon-inspired 'repels' available to buy.Just finished a quick-travel system also. Progress is smashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmiguu Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I really like the "solid"-ness to these graphics. Their boldness reminds of me of a blend of both Pokemon (mostly the palettes) and someone's off-hand paint project. They add-well to the subtle pre-school ambiance of the game. A bit uncanny.(Have I already said that in this thread? "Uncanny"?)_edit: turns out that I have…_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal for the graphics was to achieve something that at worst looks bearable, however portrays that the game is either a). not a serious attempt, or b). a parody/silly game (or perhaps I should say uncanny game? :P). This project spawned as a joke between friends, but its slowly evolving into a full length game. And best of all, I enjoy working on it so much, its so good to have a project I don't have to take seriously and I can have so much fun with. It's such a break from the hard work in Elandor Chronicles.> Your choice of words are uncanny in that they are inexplicably mysterious.. @_@> > > > On-topic: Keep it up Kreator. This game makes me laugh, and I want to play it again!Thanks, I got some good stuff coming up, new demo in the coming weeks. I'm going on vacation for a few days tomorow, and I also got a lot of work, but I'll be back working for a new demo hopefully in a week. I've almost got enough content for a teaser trailer.

Dark Crusade Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 I'm looking for feedback in this one, so could players whom reach the end of the demo please tell me-a. How much money you had when you reached the city?b. What level Black Cat, Brown Dog, and Yellow Duck are?That way, I can balance the game better, including shop prices in the city.Anybody else who wishes to be elaborate in their testing, and give me a list of feedback, statistics, and suggestions I'd be very much thankful for. Such candidiates will be credited as a tester in the final release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Crusade Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks guys. I'd love to show off this feedback excerpt I got from another forum I posted it on. I was quite happy with the initial shock-response I recieved!> Ok, so I figured I'd try this game out. First things first, you need a freaking warning somewhere that this game contains graphic content and such… because I mistook this game for a mostly lighthearted comedic game... but it's pretty much the most graphically violent rm game I've played in recent memory. Seriously, especially considering the game is about cute little animals there should be some kind of warning, the contrast will be powerful enough even with a heads up.

Sealbreaker Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 You should have a warning in the beginning which is also in a very comic-like style and looks like you can't take it serious :D-seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
