Thank You for your kind words, Sir Squire Waldo
I am taking your wise words gratefully as well-needed feedback. I really do not want to live in a game designer's neat little huggy kissy bubble. This really is something I want from the feedback. Lots of Thank Yous for it!
Nice that you got interested in my humble attempt to make an RPG fast and furiously and with, not so nano but, yes so uber Lite rules. Even nicer that You uploaded it, printed it out, read it and try to make sense out of it.
Everything You wrote, is true. The game is pretty much a first draft of what it, is supposed to be. That's why I uploaded its status being "In development". Also mentioned on this product page that the game "is also totally a Work in Progress. I will most definitely update this product and work it out better. "
I tried so hard but simply bumped into too many problems with technical issues, panicked, and then just ran out of time. Very much a normal story for the first game jam, I reckon. I truly feel like I could have done it better but at least ended make it on time.
Before I got this awesome honest feedback from You, Sir, I'd already started to further develop the game. I am currently making the second version of the game. To put some more text about how to play the game. To add some examples of how to use rules. To give some examples of how to make things happen. Adding simplistic crafting and fixing rules to the game. And also, I shall make the Small Adventure have some more flesh on its bones. I'll be drawing a simple map for it, too.
Your wise comments on the game is a great game-testing feedback I needed now. Your feedback came at the right time. You basically reassure me that I am going in the right direction on my game development route with this game. I will surely mention You on Thank You -list in the next version.
At least if it is OK with You. I mean, You really deserve recognition for your well-made testing of my game in development.
Totally appreciating Your Kind Words on my small game. Wishing Godspeed, Dog winds, and nice play sessions in the future! -Krisse Tuominen-
