Oh wow you made an RPG for the jam! My only real feedback is maybe just working on helping new players understand the systems a bit better but that is something that can be worked on after the jam. Great job!

Developer

Oh yeah, I plan to make a full tutorial level in the future release as even the current build is not all the complexity I want to add. So, a tutorial that is very in depth is needed. Thank you for playing it.

Really cool idea, love the management of the team. Similar to other comments in that the controls are tad confusing and it takes a fair bit of time to get into but again that's down to personal preference I think.

Developer

Agree, I hope to make the update to be less confusing and hopefully easy the player into the management aspect better.

Submitted

Very neat little concept, controls are a bit confusing but that's probably more on RPGMaker than the dev, had a lot of fun trying to optimize the party, well done

Developer

Thank you very much, hopefully controls will get fine tune as future development goes on. I am thinking personally focusing on mouse input and letting other control fall to classical input so you can just type in the name of characters but not use the keyboard to move through the menu

I feel like this could be a really neat idea if there was more of a focus on buying different items and managing the party, and less time spent in battle. The battles are fun to watch at first, but quickly become repetitive.

Developer

I will take that into consideration. Right now there is a focus on adding an option to speed up / skip battles entirely. But I will see on how with limited resources I can make more time in the management system.

An interesting take on how people play RPGs! It was a little hard to grasp, but once I got it I had fun! The tutorial learning curve is a bit steep, but it has  potential! Good job.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I would have liked a little more time on that. The learning curve is suppose to be quadratic but with so few points it feels very sharp.

Submitted

Cool. I like the concept. This is a very fun game. Really enjoyed playing.

Developer

Thank you!

I actually didn't think I'd enjoy this much at first, since I've already played a few RPG Maker Games, but I was wrong, it was great!

I only managed to afford the hat in the end, spending the rest of my money on two zombie cures, and 4 potions when times were rough. Otherwise I spent almost all of the Morale on Mana, which worked well since they healed each other and did lots of spark attacks.

Personally I would have liked to spend more time buying and upgrading armor and weapons. I also think you could show the next battle or two somewhere, so that we could optimize the party and purchases for different challenges.

Overall you've done a great job. I enjoyed it a lot!

Developer(+1)

Oh, McFood. I cannot wait to show you the improvements I got plan. I think you will love the struggles of figuring out when to give your characters items and manipulating their AI to change how they respond in and out of battle.

But thank you a lot, it means a whole lot to have someone critical of an RPG maker game to love mine <3

cool game, very well made! i like the idea of managing an RPG party, i only think it might be more fun if the battles were shorter and there was more to do as the manager. but overall very well executed and a cool idea!

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I plan on working on this game further. I will include a option to change battle speed since, I personally like the slower speed but others seems to want it even faster!!! lol So, that is an easy option to put in. If you have any ideas on more things to do as a manager please leave them, I got a few but always open to more ideas!
