I was just wondering if the game is still coming out this month, or if it'll be next month! I saw there was an update w/ a countdown on kickstarter, but it was for backers only. I tried to look for this info elsewhere, but sorry if I missed it! Thanks for being a great dev team- I'm looking forward to buying:) especially after you guys were so incredibly consistent with WTNC's updates
I've only just started the demo- but I'm enchanted already! I'll make sure to leave a full review when I've finished! However, one thing I've noticed is the Grimoire- the symbol on the cover of it, and the symbol for "darkness", is the Star of David. This doesn't quite sit well with me; surely a five-pointed pentagram could serve the same purpose that the six-pointed Star of David was intended to? I think it may even be better for it, as it is already associated with the occult/magic, rather than the Star of David which is associated with modern Jewish identity. If you wish to avoid religious symbols entirely (as the pentagram is used by some Wiccans), a triskelion may also be appropriate?
Edit: I see this was already pointed out- my bad, I should've read on!
Also I did notice two areas that could be re-worded if you want??
"...the more in the instruction of an art..." perhaps 'an emphasis in the instruction' or 'better for the instruction of' because the sentence is a tad unclear
"In that case, the Lord President..." i'm probably just picky, but 'Other than that' or 'in addition to' would be better suited, as "in that case" usually references an alternate or exclusion, rather than something that is in addition to something else
I don't mean to come off critical, they were just two moments that took me out of the game so I thought i'd mention it- sorry this comment got so long ':(
I'm so tired of kickstarter and similar platforms being abused. Creators need to be super responsible when using them, because abusing systems like this destroys trust in indie media, and thus indie media as a whole :/ like yeah we're all people and shit happens, but its past that- Agashi is subject to legal action by every single backer at this point, under sec 4 of kick's terms of use- but like none of us actually have the resources to do anything so no one can police this shit. Creators who scam need to be shut down or meet some consequences. If this keeps up indie media is in the toilet and we all have to rely on big names for games...
While it's kind of everyone to be supporting Agashi so, it's completely irresponsibly to abandon projects that people have invested in- it reflects poorly not only on the creator (which makes people less likely to support them in the future- good for Agashi or "Lee Almonte" for not having much connected to those names/aliases I suppose), but unfortunately also on all indie media. Referring to the kickstarter page , several people have already noted that this is the last project they'll invest in. People need to feel confident supporting independent artists and creators via kickstarter, and similar platforms, because it's a seriously fantastic resource, but the more its abused, the more people will only be willing to support games they'll know they'll get- i.e. big gaming companies, and letting them be the only people to produce games would be terrible. As hiyamelle said, backers should at least be informed Agashi can't fulfill their project- that way a compromise could be met between backers and creator. Despite the demo illustrating promising potential, I'm sorely disappointing about this turn of events. Ghosting backers after raising $11,553 could basically be seen as theft actually considering that Agashi entered into a contract with every single backer to complete the project once the game was successfully funded, and any single backer is currently in a position to pursue legal action under section 4 of the terms of use. :/
I adored playing this! The conflicts are fleshed out but not drawn out, the characters are charming while insecurities and personal conflict(s) are dealt with realistically! Its a world with good depth, and fun story!! The art is also so enjoyable and the backgrounds are well done!! Thank you so much for sharing!!:)
