Hey Grimperfect, Thanks for the (hash but honest) feedback! Since this game was created for a game jam and we are a small team with only had 6 weeks timeframe and zero budget, we had to make some hard decisions on what to include. Such as a non-linear story. In regards to our choice not to use Renpy, we are also making another game, Faulty Apprentice, which is our flagship, and feel renpy will not allow us to grow and expand as much as Unity will.
That's sad you think the mini games are pointless, but we feel they add a lot of excitement to gameplay and plan to expand and incorporate more of them into the completed game. Hope you enjoy the 2nd demo (which was made in only 6 weeks as well, so go easy on us! XD) but we look forward to your honest feedback. (=
If you see some potential in this series, we invite you to support our Kickstarter Campaign!
Thanks for playing our humble game, Paramedium! Stay in the Light, Grimperfect! -din
