Hello! Thank for trying it! The Controller support is kind of a goal, but the DSS-LMBS is still in a very early stage of development. However, I'm already looking for ways to add it as soon as possible. We're glad you had a good time!

Hello! As the dev behind the Proto DSS-LMBS, thank you kindly for your review! 
I asked Starmage to add a couple of warnings in the game page about the prototype state of the engine and the unavailable support of controllers at the current state of the engine but we may have forgotten to add them to the game itself. 

As for your points, the current state of the DSS-LMBS only has some improvements over the old version (CEL-LMBS) due to the port to RPG Maker MZ and they were mostly on the dev side. 
I'll try to explain what is coming and why it's missing.
- Auto Turn after dodge is coming when the state system is added (that is, Auto, Semi-Auto, and Manual) and will mainly be available as an option and forced during Semi-Auto.
- Spell casting being interrupted is currently on the works because the casting system has been revamped a bit.
- Enemy balance fell mostly on me so this is my fault because I tried to make it less bothersome but some of the difficulty enhancements from the CEL-LMBS made its way to this new version way too early, so I apologize for any issues caused.
- Normal attacks still use the original CEL-LMBS way of activating instead of the DSS one (that is, they're being read differently, hence why they're slow)
- For the tutorials, we planned to port SoTE's new tutorial system but the deadline was near over us so we decided to go for a simpler approach.

I recently verified and:
- It seems the high cost spells (That is, Divine Judgement and Stellar Destruction) do not work but waste the spell. That's a bug that was left unsolved despite testing many times, again, I apologize.

Still, we appreciate your review and we (mostly I on my game when I deploy the complete version of the DSS-LMBS) hope we can offer a better experience next time!

Sharing the first official Combo Video for Shadows of the Earth: The Vrila'an Legend, brought to you by Fury255!

Hello! Not dead, just working hard in the game, and this time there are some visual upgrades!
There's now a battle minimap. Displays enemies, allies and players, along with scaling whenever someone is casting. While purely visual, it allows to keep an eye on casting enemies that are far from reach!

V0.6.0 Update Preview

Short combo for Joseph to showcase enhanced Aerial mechanics (More Air time for enemies, and better aerial elents, more chains are possible)

Share your doubts or anything related to the story; No spoilers!

A topic to share your best combo videos! Either solo characters, co-op, or anything game related as long as it looks cool!

A topic where you can share your equipment, upgrades or Passive Elents in your favorite characters for others to try!

I accidentally turned v0.5.1 into a v0.6.0, and with this new version comes a new character, Ryan Hoshido: THE Martial Arts Master! He uses gauntlets and is very fast!

v0.5.1 is on the works and nearing it's deployment!
It re-enables quests (now correctly being tracked and translated) and lots more:

• Adds costumes
• Re-introduces the following characters:
  • Ryan
  • Shadow

• Minimap
• Weapon Skins (there are NO Lootboxes)
• Lootable Weapons (These weapons are outside the main weapons route for each character, and have many beneficial effects)
• Many Character Buffs, Fixes, and Reworks!

Welp, there's no going back.  Costumes/Skins are now available in Shadows of the Earth!

Hello Everyone! I have already started receiving reports of some bugs. I'll be deploying a bugfix soon!

SoTE's New demo is already available, go and check it out! 

Here, have a wallpaper!

Hello everyone! Currently, SoTE is on Deployment stage!

Hello everyone!  Just putting the last touches, translations and bugfixing on the demo!

Re-Sprites are finished! I'm just looking to add a few more moves to the EoTR characters! And the Inclusion of this new one!

Can you recognize her?

Here's an Extended Gameplay Look!

I'm already working on more storyline sections. Plot is expanding a LOT, and some of the things that happen here are impressive!

Testing some Co-Op last minute changes! There are no visible problems. In fact, Co-Op's working better than ever!

First Small WIP. Now you can equip Cosmetic Weapons! These will add a few weapon visuals that override any weapon equipped. These don't affect Gameplay, and are only a visual change.

Posting this here so I can share WIP's if you want to follow the game's growth very closely!

Leave any questions or comments!

Please post any issues you might have with the game

Hello! 

Sadly, Parsec is just an extra step. Shadows of the Earth WILL NOT have Online multiplayer. Local Multiplayer (Co-Op) is already implemented and Parsec is just an option in case you want to play with friends that are not close to you.

Still, thanks for the offer!

Thank you for trying out!

• This one is on me. I never expected people to switch out Joseph as party leader this early, i'm looking into that, and the jammed move route. 
• Yeah! Pentaslash is too good of a starter elent, but at the second dungeon its effectiveness really decays.
• I'm still testing font changes and the game size it's because it has two demos on one :) (Yep, that Advanced Demo is fully working!) besides i'm planning on expanding both demos once i get the course of events running.

Of course i'm solving these bugs right now :}.
