I am learning Fabula Ultima so these would fit well as well. A few of these look like npcs I have in mind already, so yeah I'd be up for buying if you make more!
It's actually almost impossible to beat the jam build. I say almost because it can be done but you have to get specific.
Basically, I set token = 50 on the parallel event to update the variable for how many every time you returned to the "lobby." I should have set it to greater than or equal. So it's actually possible to get exactly 50 tokens by stopping interacting with the animals when you get close to 50, and have enough gold to buy the rest from the merchant in the maze.
It's my own fault, I didn't playtest enough.
Honestly, it's gonna be a challenge to figure out how to make the randomized maps not look like trash. I've been experimenting.
1. I am slightly changing up the dynamic for the battles, making them entirely avoidable wasn't working.
2. I do agree that I should probably get away from using this being a part 1 as an excuse to not explain everything. I'm not sure just how to give them complete introductions without seeming shoehorned in, but I definitely have work to do to figure it out.
3. It's good that you should find what the Captain did detestable. One of the wider themes I'm trying to deal with is that of overbearing authority figures. Though if more people feel the same as you, maybe I should workshop that approach a bit, too.
Yeah. Lowell and Oliana were meant as muscle because the bad guys (admiral/colonel/eriadoc) had some notion of the new trouble in gettng at Seni. That Lowell and Oliana realized something was wrong and were able to meet it head on and frustrate their plans is how they were able to go beyond expectation
Amazing, One of the more unique concepts I've seen in awhile, and the presentation and assets are top tier. It almost felt like it wasn't an RPG maker game.
As to the game itself, yeah tons of room for improvement. I also pivoted a lot during development. This was originally meant to be like "PG Fear and Hunger meets Star Trek." In fact, I bought Soldier Pack 3 during this period because I saw the scythe guy and was like "There's my ripoff Crow Mauier!" The noise sound effect was gonna be more prominent as well.
The battles, could definitely use work but I was trying to get away from them being "spam attack." The philosophy I was going for was "quick and lethal in one direction or the other."
Still gotta finish it, but it's a winner for me! Not gonna lie, took notice at first because I also enjoy the Soldier packs. Definitely better executed than mine though!
Great script. Just modified it to do 4k (128x128) so I can use it for retro puzzle maker. At least, it acknowledges it as a valid chr file, so if I haven't done it completely, I'm close to pulling it off!
I realized halfway through yesterday that I don't know a damn thing about rpgmaker and I'm basically starting from zero (just like Michael Kaiser), so your feedback is well appreciated and recieved.
For what it's worth, I knew I messed up on the plot thing, that's why I put it on the game's page itself, which is still shoddy of me but if you were curious about any context.
Just bought this on the Switch, sight unseen because if nothing else I want to support this way of retro development. Saw it there first and thought it was interesting, then I saw it in Retro Gamer magazine and knew it was a must buy.
Thanks. Yeah the purpose was to show that the barest pretense of a game could be made with very little knowledge. And I was having issues with the 'proper' collision so I modified it to be janky but still functional. With another hour I could have put in sound and indication of win/lose conditions.
