Hi Rose, I just finished your game. I really like your art. It's super impressive that you got so much art done in a month. The title screen music is awesome, and the rest of the music is pretty good as well. I also really like the battle setup you went with. I've not seen this very often, so it's pretty unique to see this.
The story was basic, but that's not necessarily bad. I do wish we would have some more connection to the rest of the party or world (through dialogue for example). After the crash, I tried talking to the other guild members, but was ignored. :(
The mapping ranged from basic to decent. Some of them would have benefited from being a little smaller or more decorated. The later dungeons especially were a bit boring to look at. I did like your dungeons layout. It wasn't too maze like, while also not being too linear. There were also a couple of map errors: the wall border was missing in the second part of the crypt and both the ice cave and fire cave had irregular wall heights. There's also a passabilty error in the ice cave and the forest (I could walk on the tree top autotile).
I have to agree with Kishi that it's really strange Garret has so many more skills than everyone else and that he ends up having better healing skills than the healer. He also seems to be alot stronger than everyone else: at the time that he was dealing 100+ damage, all the others were only dealing 30-50 damage.
The ice dungeon is a lot easier than the fire dungeon, because so many characters have a fire skill, but only Garret has the ice skill. Drago nearly died a couple of times in the fire dungeon. Also, there's no Wind skill?
I have to admit it looks a bit off in the credits when you have graphics and nothing mentioned and then move on to sprites etc. I think it would look better if graphics was capitalized, that way people won't get confused. I also believe that you should mention you made the actor battlers and portraits. Give yourself credit there ;)
I found a bunch of typos. I'll list them below (in the order that I encountered them):
- I knew you guys "would be" here
- "bottom" of the well
- "without" (tried entering the houses)
- "Your" clothes (Rane says this)
- "immitate"
- It looks "like" we found the crystal
- "It's best not to wander"
- "maybe" (Upon meeting Erriga)
- "introduced", "brainwashed", "star" (after battle)
- I'm "your" brother. We looked "everywhere" for you, "assumed"
- They "have been" gone, "deserve"
Anyway, I had fun playing the game. Congrats :D
