Hi! sorry for unrelated topic, but i saw you played goth2, thank you!🖤 Quick question - is the part with the guards too difficult? i had some complaints from other players. And also are the maps too dark?
thank you for playing, as always i was expecting your review(pepe emote). i'm glad i scared you, i had an intention to make this game pure horror unlike GANA games. I understand it could be confusing, i still sometimes forget that people approach the game not knowing anything of its origins, oops😅. I think if i try to explain everything, it will take a lot of time and might make the story less interesting, so i'll give you hints: the games spirits play and music - i used traditional nursery rhymes "Toryanse" and "Kagome, kagome". I especially love Toryanse - it plays at the beginning and the end, its so sad and beautiful, and you better google about this song and its meaning, bc as i said i cant really explain it all😄 (btw huge thnaks to Altelier Magicae for accidentally making a perfect soundtrack for the game lol) about Rirou - i saw the name in the dream, but then i chose fitting hieroglyphs for it. Rou means wolf, and Ri means "get sick with something", "suffer from something", "get infected", etc. btw there were 3 kids disappearing at the start - Mary and Tony(hyperactive siblings) and Henry, but somehow people keep missing Henry😥 the scene at the end - Charlie at first didnt see real nature of the children's spirits, at that moment he saw it. about the sprirt that "plays" with kids' spirits - the monk explained it all: "which one of them is Rirou?" - "everyone". "who did that to them?" - "nobody did anything". "but they were just kids" - "they still are". And one more hint - "lord of the flies" also this will be a long conversation it seems, so we better move to discord if you dont mind:)
haha thank you very much!😅 i always wanted to tell stories, so i guess over years i trained my brain to generate ideas. then i found out about his simple tool rpgmaker, and it was perfect for my stories. also if you really want to make games, join our server - https://discord.gg/Fdeh3hBtYu
it's full of amazing devs who always ready to help!
the war with the dark lord was neverending so he(the dark lord) decided to use a curse that made the world into a shitpost game. Everybody was happy, but the hero was dumb enough to ruin everything... probably there will be a sequel, prequel or spin-off...
this is def your AAA+ review, Oxy😍 people said before they liked the game, but it still seemed they missed a lot, so having this Silmarillion-long review is very important for me as a dev!🖤
what makes me the most happy is that you loved "the feel of the game", because while making it, i really tried to express what i felt when i found this beautifully weird world of indie games. i'm glad i made it! In later games i concentrated more on improving art, story and characters' relationships, bc i felt like i lacked the ability to make the story more emotional. I guess now i'm better at that, and it will help me to make the second chapter better! bc Senza will meet actual people(and other creatures too of course), so he will unlock more emotions too:) But yeah this game is the most complex in terms of game mechanics, i spent ALOOOT of time making them all😭 And testing omg testing was hellllll. but now it paid off since you liked the puzzles and chases:)) (it seems they still have bugs tho... HOW???😱) But i think i have more experience with that too now💪🏻
i think you might be the only one who actually read the quote at the beginning and tried to understand it😅 Your interpretation is very close to what i intended, but i'd add that an organism is not literally somebody's body, but more like a metaphor too😉
anyway, thank you for playing, thank you for reviewing, that gives me a lot of motivation to work on chapter 2 faster(now ive only made a couple of small character updates...)
