Hello,
This past weekend I streamed your game. Overall, I actually thought it was a pretty enjoyable game.
By far the biggest strength of Exony is it's no-nonsense approach to storytelling (quite literally) as it does away with back story, the set up to the story is brief (almost to parody), and has the player set off on their adventure in no time.
I think the biggest flaw with the game is some whacky balancing problems. Where, for example, one of the first fights I encountered seemed easy enough, then the next fight I am getting hit with a poison state that ticks more damage per turn than any other attack the enemies have. It's not the worst balancing I have seen, but for an intro enemy it can feel quite punishing.
On that note, I realize the game - according to the store page - sells itself as a difficult JRPG. Based on the little bit I played on stream, I actually feel like that is not a very accurate description, though that is probably for the best. The game doesn't seem to take itself too seriously and overall has a pretty light-hearted mood, so brooding challenge would be antithetical to the established atmosphere of the game.
One thing I didn't bring up during the stream is the unfortunate use of this asset pack. At the time, when I played the game, I was unaware that the art was from an asset pack which made me see the game in a more positive light. Ironically, the very next game I played on stream used the same asset pack. Then I see someone in this very comment section linked to another game using the same asset pack. While it's not the death of the game (my very own game in development uses a commonly used asset pack) it does detract from the game. Using asset packs as a base is understandable, especially if one lacks the artistic abilities to make their own art, but I think taking the time to adjust, edit, or recolor the assets to make things feel more unique to this game could go a long way.
