I've been working on Lofi Drive for a while now and finally have a working Demo. I made it originally for the Steam Next Fest, but I figured I'd share it here, especially after realizing how overly complicated Steam is. Itch you just drag and drop the files and you're good to go, no headaches what-so-ever!

We also offer physical versions of the game on our website for those who prefer Physical Media. All music is by hired artists, and our graphics are assets purchased by an artist.
I've been working on this for about 6 months now, and finally at a stable enough spot to have a Demo :)
Hello everyone, I've been working on this game for a while now and I've completely redone a lot of things with it and was looking for some feedback. I've sent it to several friends and gathered/fixed a lot of things they've mentioned and I'm not looking to go public with the feedback.
https://xyphien.itch.io/pixacreaadventuredemo this is the link to the game.
To download it, all you have to do is download and extract the zip file and run the game.exe
I'm looking for every kind of feedback, what you like, dislike, love, hate, what you think I should add, what you think I should remove. I may not cater to everyone, however getting a basis on what I should be focusing on improvement wise, etc. would be very helpful prior to progressing the story-line to finish the game.
Keep in mind, there are some things that will be added to the game closer to release. These being more mini-games, there will be more animations throughout the game, several smaller animation fixes in combat, etc.
About the Game:
Pixacrea: Adventure is a retro inspired creature collecting / monster taming RPG in which you have a battler's license making the game slightly rogue-lite (Think of FF2/4). A little about the lore is you get a Battlers License once you've hit 18, and once you lose an official battle you lose your license and must work at 'normal' job. This is to prevent the entire country/world from being Pixacrea Battlers and not having any jobs outside of that.
The overall story is you're trying to stop Team Anarchy from bypassing the Battler License and being able to choose who can keep it, or loses it, and would give the leader full control over the country in that sense, since everyone wants to be a Battler. With countless choices in the game, some of which can have full affects on your gameplay. Ranging from not being able to get a free fishing pole, to an entire city/town being completely destroyed costing several peoples lives. This is a game where even a simple choice can affect some sort of outcome to the game. I personally think if you have a selection in a game, it should affect it in some way shape or form, if not, why is the player choosing anything to begin with.
Pixacrea is a creature collecting & battling adventure game where you can get 185 creatures called Pixacrea, or Pixa's for short. 56 of which you can capture in the wild. The rest will need to be given to a Pixelator, so they can go through the pixelation process of your creature which will put them at their next form, an... evolution, if you will. There are also unique areas and hidden locations where you can only find specific pixacrea. Your starting Pixacrea is also determined by a personality test. The type of Pixacrea you get, will be determined by your results.
I've been working on this project a little over a year now. I created a demo with less than half the features in the game as well as it's pretty out dated as of now. Nonetheless, you can check it out HEREif you'd like.
I'm going to be using this topic to post all updates relating to the game for anyone interested in following. I'll also be posting them on our Server which you can join HERE.
Here is a current road map of the game.
Below is everything else relating to the game :)

In the world of Pixacrea everyone receives a battler's license on their 18th birthday. The license gives you access to the Deck, a computerized system that gains you the ability to gather, swap, and trade Pixacrea. A license is valid until they lose an official battle. Official battles MUST be done outside of cities, and any battle done inside of a city is counted as a sparring match. The moment someone loses an official battle their license becomes void and they lose their status as a Pixa Battler. This is how the government and economy stay afloat. Without this system in place everyone would strive to be a Pixa Battler, leaving vacant jobs, and would send the nation into ruin. The nation is under a threat from a group called "Anarchy", whose goal is to create a hacked Deck system that they can control and allow anyone they wish to keep their battler's license, even after they lose a battle. With every day that passes, anarchy grows more and more powerful, deceiving the weaker minds of Pixacrea into supporting their cause. However, what most fail to realize, is their leader has something far more sinister in the works.

In this rogue-lite game, unlike most other creature collecting games, you don't have the ability to capture the creatures using methods of cards, balls, key chains, balloons, or whatever else you can think of using. Instead, you have a chance to capture them simply by defeating them. This is the same for any battler you defeat as well! Once you defeat another battler they have no way of using that pixacrea, and you have a chance to obtain that creature from them after the battle.

The game is very serious, and absolutely has ZERO references to anything else, nor does it have any easter eggs, whatsoever.

I'm looking for people to playtest the demo and give me feedback on the game thus far. Some information on the game:
You start on your 18th birthday deciding to become a Pixa Battler, after taking a small test you're given a Pixa as your starting companion which you'll then be able to level up, and go through the world battling others. The game will have some basic creature collecting mechanics you'd expect in any game of the genre, as well as some not so unique features such as how to gain extra Pixas. This game is being developed around the board game my company is developing, and will feature elements as such. After defeating an enemy you'll get random items, these can range from a Pixa to add to your PC which you'll be able to add to your party from, to equipment that will help you out along your journeys. An entirely Pixelated world at your disposal with a linear quest to follow, extra content to branch out in, puzzles, fights, and legendary Pixas to find. Oh, on top of all of this, there's literally tons of references/easter eggs in the game. These range from anime, older cartoon and games. There's only 4 elements in the game as well, Earth (an even mixture of gameplay), Fire (more combat oriented), Water (Defensive and Tank filled), and finally Soul (Healing/Support). Each one has it's own unique playstyle and abilities that can both compliment one another.
