This is a really big game and project you have here! Well done! First time playing and like the overall feel of everything in the game. Its definetly a lot to take in. I didn't complete the game but can give some feedback as a newcomer to all of this. It felt overwhelming, though maybe its just due to time of day for me.
You probably have your vision already set, but my feedback is:
- a lot of items and equipment is given at the start and I'm wondering what needs to go where. Maybe it would be easier to start if you started off with one character and then the second one comes in the next town and so forth.
- from a visual point. I think your trees and the terrain that goes into the grass needs some shadows. It currently feels very flat and small chunks of shadow would elevate it greatly :)
Congrats on making this RPG. This is a very large project!
