I love the picture... oh and by the way, congrats on exactly 20,000 views... I am your 20,001st viewer! =D
Chapter VI still going for christmas aye?

 

[Reives]

Thanks! And indeed, Chapter V's Christmas release schedule is more sure than ever. There will be some mini-game and possibly battles, most likely toward the end.

reives your game is nice but i'm not a big fan of your battle system

 

[Reives]

Heheh, same case some others. Sorry to say that I am sticking with it, though. :< I will try to improve it as time goes on; but then again it's hard to please everyone. If ya can leave me with some of the things you don't like about it so I can try to take them into consideration, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Personally I disliked the battle system but it has grown on me. I think once more options are added (I'm assuming more skills and the like will be added eventually), and a healing between chapters or something is implemented it would be fully enjoyable.

 

[Reives]

Each character will have a maximum number of skills as of current limit, but - that doesn't limit the number of future forms you might be able to acquire for additional skills.

The reason I've been quiet is that it is currently final exam period for me, and I've just gotten 2 down and 2 more to go. But even so, I'm still being a nub and working on this now and then to meet the deadline; here are two screens for the hell of it:

I am closing up on the end of the chapter, however there will be some game-play mechanics that I will need to implement, which might take some time as well. All in all, the Christmas-ish release estimate still should hold valid.  

Cheers.

A truly marvelous game! If it weren't for a grammar error here and there, I'd think it came from SquareEnix or something. Can't wait for the whole thing.

beautiful game! great sound track, mapping, menus and more! love the story!

8/10

 

[Reives]

Thanks. I've had a thorough spelling check for Chapter 1's dialogues, I suspect that a lot of them lie in Chapter 2 now; still have to get that looked over.

I'd use an animation or something to make it look like the soldiers were really carrying torches and not sticks with red stuff on the end, but otherwise it looks cool.

 

[Reives]

Ah, that's true, I really should add some kind of a glow to it to avoid the plastic toy feel.

Slightly edited it; made the fire semi-transparent and added some glow:

Is this better? I think I over-did it a bit with the lowering the actual fire's opacity though, now it's hard to see it.

 

[Impreza]

Now it's looks like they were holding torch light

 

[Reives]

Yeah, I lowered the actual fire's opacity too much, heheh.
But I think I got the idea, will play around with it to get the right blend.

What style is that map? It looks... weird.

Also, are you using the same puzle again there? Another Cat-in-the-way puzzle?

 

[Reives]

No, and the one in chapter 4 isn't even a puzzle, hahah.

 

[HarryE]

No, and the one in chapter 4 isn't even a puzzle, hahah.

Heheh. Fair enough.

What visual style do you have on that map?it looks interesting

 

[Reives]

Eh, I'm not quite sure what ya mean by visual style. o: There's sand storm fog, if that's what you mean?

 

[HarryE]

The barrels, the canvas and little props. It's not RTP like the walls and rest of the village.

 

[Impreza]

Hello there, Reives. I'm just downloaded the game few hours back and trying to play it. And at the starting screen, an error pop-up saying it didn't have Grassland tileset...Hm...I'm wonder if I'm the only one with the same problem...?

 

[Love]

I love this game!!
