To keep balance, he created two deities, Samxac, the Ultima God of Everlasting and Xion, the Ultima God of Destruction, to create the Mystic Realm, where several divine beings gather to have the world they know under control. Several eons of time have passed, and the story sets in on Alba, a young girl in the village of Shinobara, who now wants to travel the world as an explorer, and experience the views of many cultures and people. However, she meets the group Heaven’s Spire, and it’s suspicious bard, Yoshiteru Toyotomi, along with a mysterious traveler, named Xavier.

RoooodWorks 165 Posted January 16, 2017 maps are too rtp for me and need more things cos all i see are carpets and floor, which is dull and u need to use shift click. enemy battler not animate? why have a static enemy which is way taller than character sprites and not use side view enemy battlers. but that's me. Also Pokemon music, can you not like get some royalty free music instead of using music from another game? either way it needs way more improving before u release a full game.

Lord Vectra 414 Posted January 16, 2017 Some of the maps have too much space, in my opinion. They should be just a little bit smaller. For your trailer, i advise that you add gameplay such as combat cutscenes, c. Add a little "shazam" to your trailer. I like the idea of the origin story. My game does the same thing. Depending on how you do it, you might get criticized for it like me. Tellin ya just so you know what may come later. The alignment system is a good system. Ur game looks like it'll benefit from it considering its origin story. idk how i feel about the alignment stat boosts. If you want to be an offensive good person, it wont be as good as an offensive evil person. So ur prefered fighting style kind of dictates which side of the spectrum you'll be on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't really read all of this, but I'll try my best to understand all your complaints(though it won't matter since I'm stubborn and stuck in my old ways) Not gonna do anything else more than that. Bold 2: I've done this before with another game, I plan not to do so, doesn't fill my desires. Regardless, demo is coming out on the 20th, so no stopping now. I don't do a lot of gameplay/game changing stuff, because I focus on building story and lore than gameplay, and if you don't like that, why did you click in the first place?

The alignment system has been in Ruined Future. All "boss"(Ie: human characters with names) have alignments. For example, Xavier has Neutral Good, as his alignment.

I didn't say anywhere i didn't like i just voicing my opinion and telling you how to improve, if you can't take critique why are you a game dev in first place, because game deving gets alot of critique.

Again, I'm a writer and not a game dev, and how I write is using this as my canvas. If I was more into things like gameplay I'd take your advice into a little more consideration, but for someone who just enjoys telling a story and doesn't have a lot of time to put into these things/I don't care about gameplay aspects that much, can you really blame me? I can take critique, but what you say means absolutely nothing to me, in all honesty. I'll think about what you say for later projects, but not for any already done/currently working on.

RoooodWorks 165 Posted January 16, 2017 but if you posted your game on a forum, people will want to enjoy the game, if they don't they won't play and will not know the story of your game. Which is why a good gameplay will need to better than story most times. otherwise it will not be played, which is why we the people tell you how to improve. If you can't take the feedback on the gameplay and refuse to improve you will not make good games otherwise, if you are just a story writer write books instead. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noted, but this is the path I will take. Thanks for all the advice though. I appreciate it. If you have anything to say, please drop it by a PM, because this conversation is derailing this thread to me, and I wish not get it off on a good note. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShadowfrostZen 38 Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Patch 1 has been released... With a new sidequest! Vishnu Island Sidequest: Ramayama Sita and the Genji Spirit This Quest is Only Available if you've beaten Iwafune Port. It will no longer be available after a certain time during the game. After defeating Heaven's Spire in Iwafune Sewers, Alba has the chance to go to the special island, Vishnu Island! She and her comrades have the chance to visit.. But it'll cost money to go, so make sure you have enough gold to go! Pictured Above: Tickets to Vishnu and Sakura Island However, upon reaching their destination, they are greeted by Sita, who is in need of their help. Heaven's Spire has taken refuge in the Genji Shrine, where a ancient divine beast is said to slumber in its depths. They wish to take it away from the shrine! Help Alba and company drive out Heaven's Spire and save it! Sita Race: Mystic Alignment: Lawful Neutral Nickname: Daughter of Vishnu Artist: Soramani Kagome A Mystic who appeared once before Alba, when she sought out Daisuke Hayashi. A kind and gentle individual, she is famous among the Mystics due to her now passed husband, Rama. A follower of the Ultimate God of Wisdom, Vishnu, she takes up Rama's mantle of carrying out Vishnu's will. Kazunaga Oda Race: Mystic Kitsune Alignment: True Neutral Nickname: The White Wolf of Ezo Fuji Irwak Shrine Character Ability: Ano toki no kamiyo(Hail The God of Time) 〜 The Death Bell Rings A Mystic from the Mystic Council, and a old friend of Sita's. A very lazy and nonchalant member but also quick and powerful, as well as smart. Most of his time goes to napping though, but he is a follower of Vishnu, as well as Sita's counselor after she became a widow. He appears in this quest as an ally, but will reappear later on if you do not see him here! Here are some screenshots of the sidequest. Below are some new skills and items that are added as well! The Phoenix Wing is only available on Vishnu Island. You can only get 1 if you don't do the sidequest, but if you beat the boss at the end, you'll be able to end up with two! The Phoenix Wing gives you Magic and HP regen by 5%. Get the newest patch here! Edited April 6, 2017 by ShadowfrostZen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He demonstrates his magic by showing you the bond he creates between a monster and himself.. Before starting to fight you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
