Hello!

I recently rewatched Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and had the thought that it would make for a cool TTRPG world to play in! And so, I came across your system while looking into if there was a game based on FMA. So this is awesome! Is there a complete version now, or can the preview still be used to play a full campaign (or one-shot)?

Thank you!

This is a really solid concept for a game! I love the lore and the bread crumbs of story so far! This is a great start and I look forward to more! The only two major critiques I have are the following:

1) the camera movement is a little weird because it goes against what players naturally do (or at least what we've been trained to do). For example, in the game, if the cursor is on the left side of the screen and the player clicks to pan the camera, the camera pans to the right instead of the left. For the most part, as far as I'm aware, the camera should pan in the same direction that the player would naturally want to pan to (hopefully that makes sense). So, for me it was a little disorienting.

2) The player is able to interact with objects from afar instead of close up. In some cases, I barely needed to approach a table to click on any interactable objects.  I was able to hover the cursor over an area of the screen and once the cursor was highlighted, I knew there was something to click on. Now, this is not to say that the player should be right up against an object to interact with it, but there's a balance that can be struck somewhere. 

That's all! I look forward to your next project(s) and/or the continuation of this one!

Oh! Thank you very much!

Hi there!
Just wanted to share with you what I made with your assets. I wanted to play around with the in-engine dialogue system, so I'm not sure if I'll try to make something in a more "official" capacity. So for now it's just something I made for myself and to show-off to my friends lol (I credited you in the video description, by the way.)

Oh okay, thank you very much!

Hello there!
I was wondering, would it be okay if I purchased this template (or any of your other templates) to use more as an example project to reference instead of using it as a template? So I would basically have my own blank project set-up and use your template as a reference to understand what I'm supposed to do and how to do it, but starting from scratch (hopefully that made sense). Thank you kindly!

Thank you very much! I’ve done some other designs since this one (on my Instagram page), but they’re just not available for purchase.

I posted this as a review, but want to post it as a comment too: 

"For an interactive story game made in only 2 DAYS, this was well done! The drawings were really nice (I found the astronaut super cute), and I enjoyed the bit of worldbuilding that there was. My only critique is that I could see where there could have been more branches/choices, but as someone who has also written some interactive stories, it's not an easy task (especially in such a short time frame - so I definitely won't dock points for that). However, there was one branch that ended very abruptly: [SPOILERS AHEAD] if you find the gem in the flooded room, but decide to leave it, then go to the final room and insert the gem that's there into the console... nothing really happens. The console turns red, the astronaut leaves, and that's about it. Now, if given more time, I'm sure this would have been fleshed. All in all, I enjoyed this little adventure and look forward to more!"

Thank you! I don't consider myself very good at level/map design, so I'm glad the town turned out nicely (not too fond of interior section, though. lol)!

Thank you, and this wasn't harsh at all!
I'm actually working on the game (for myself) so that I can improve on things like the movement, interior layout, actually adding sound (lol), and some other things that I wanted to add but didn't get a chance to.

Ah okay, that makes sense now. lol 

Thank you! Sorry, but what does "bgm" mean?

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you! I'll definitely work on improving controls.

Thank you very much! The encouragement is very much appreciated!

Okay, I think I understand. I asked because I can add light(s) via the engine I'm using. So I wasn't sure if that counted as an external asset (which means it wouldn't be allowed).

Hello,
Are lighting effects (for a 2D game) allowed? It might seem like an obvious answer, but I'm genuinely not sure if that's considered an additional asset or not...

Oh yeah, for sure! As long as you credit me, I'm cool with it! By the way, I'd love to see your personal website :D

Hi there! Just wanted to share with you the game I used some of you SFX in. Thank you so much! https://mentalbloxx.itch.io/the-final-exam

Hi there! Thank you for your music! Here's the game I used some of your tracks in (with credit, of course): https://mentalbloxx.itch.io/the-final-exam

Hi again! Here's the game I used some of your sounds in: https://mentalbloxx.itch.io/the-final-exam

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that I used 2 of your asset packs in my game (with credit). I used this one and the spider one: https://mentalbloxx.itch.io/the-final-exam

Thank you so much for making these!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for this! I believe that this is exactly what I've been looking for! :D

This is fantastic! I'd love to try doing more game design using your character! :D

As an SCP fan, I'm definitely looking forward to this!

Thank you!

No problem at all! I'm glad that you found my suggestions helpful :D 

I really enjoyed this (even wishlisted it on Steam)! If I may, I have two suggestions for you: 
1) Let the player know what each resource looks like from the start (it could just be in the instructions menu before the game begins).
2) Maybe have the dome be battery-powered to add an extra layer of difficulty once a player upgrades to a second laser. 

For my first point, I found myself confused during my first attempt because I didn't realize that the little icon for the Auto-Repair upgrade represented a type of resource (sand). I didn't get the resource counter upgrade at the time, so I didn't know what it was (the same thing applied for the resource for the fruit upgrade).

As for my second point, I found that once the second laser was added, a lot of tension was gone because I could just hold down the spacebar and move the lasers around, killing all the enemies before they could even get close to the dome. My suggestion is that if the dome is battery-powered, it could have no trouble maintaining a single laser, but a second laser would drain too much power. So, either the player would have to mine for a specific resource to maintain the battery's energy OR the lasers would have a cooldown period of a few seconds (either synchronized or separate). If the former, the resource wouldn't even have to be something new, it could be something that's already being mined, but the player has the option to either use it for the battery/lasers or something else. 

Anyway, those are just my thoughts and feedback. For all I know, you may have already thought of this or someone else told you already... If that's the case, then I apologize for the repetition. In any case, I'm eager to play the full version of your game with whatever the final features end up being!

Nice! :D

This look awesome! I also love the little test dummies on your page!

I really like this! It's really cute and the colour palette you chose is nice on the eyes :D

Wow! This is amazing!

These are really cute and well made!

This is cool! Well done!

Oh, these are cute!
