Hey Mister Allan Bays! Alright! I've played the game and here's my take.
The Deep
It's a straight up adventure RPG and due to time constraints it need to be dialed down a notch, I understand that part. I liked it or what I've played of it so far. I got stuck after I met The Business Guy 'Rand'. I didn't know what to do. Here's the breakdown.
Pros:
- Good story, I encourage you expand the story to full game.
- Good characters, maybe a little more development on them but I liked them as it is because personalities did come up upon just meeting them.
- Battles seem to be balanced enough to make the game shorter.
- Pretty good start for a months worth of development or should I say less than that because you were busy IRL. :)
Cons:
- Mapping. Since it's your first time using MV, this is understandable. There are bugs on mapping but that's ok. I have some too. :)
- Maybe a reminder of what the player is currently pursuing because it can be forgotten really quickly. Like a quest log for example.
Other than those good job Mister Allan Bays! You have something here so stick with it and most importantly release it. :)
