With all the IGMC games coming out, there are a few people who have offered to do reviews for people - which is incredibly gracious!
Granted, ALA isn't a competition game, but I asked a few people to take it a look since the game only got one (good!) review upon release back in December/January.

On this here site, Addit did a great, humorous review of the game and included some new screenshots. You can check it out by clicking the link above or by going to: here!

On a separate blog, JTrev23 wrote up a really nice review of the game, even though he's currently concentrating on IGMC games. No new screenshots there, but he did specifically call attention to the music - which I'm really happy about because I spent a LONG time choosing music for the game. (Some people may not notice it, which is saying something on its own since some of the best scores are ones you never notice because they're so seamless with the atmosphere.) You can check out his review: here!

One item that both reviews mention is interest in a sequel. So let me state it first here: CAL WILL RETURN!

I am currently working on a sequel that takes place 4 years after Rescue at Moranthia. Following the events of that game, the Shatter Team has been disbanded and ultimately blamed for the human-combustion nightmare of the rescue attempt. Disgraced and in self-imposed exile, Cal has stepped away from conflict. But when a bloodied young man seeks her help to investigate the murder of an entire village, Cal and Georgie are called back into action!

The game features completely new non-RTP mapping, lots of new character sprites, a side-battle system, not too many abilities, some original music, and a much more epic scale that includes multiple towns and even a few side-quests.

I'll be starting a new page in a few months and uploading screenshots there. But if you were a fan of this game and wanted more, stay tuned!

I want to publically thank Watermark RPG for putting together a review for At Last Alone last week! You can check it out here:

Review! (external site)

I've never been shy about how this is my first game and there may be some gameplay/story missteps that I'll look back on and cringe. So, with that in mind, I think this is a really even-handed review. And I love the custom infographic he/she made for it!

3/4 Funs!!!

(BTW, it looks like this is Watermark's first review. So I can only hope that they review more indie RPGs from here and other sites. Also, I can see how the more jaded among you may think that I made a new facebook account and webpage just to review my own game; that is not the case. If it was the case, it would be 4/4 Funs. ;) )

I want to thank all the cool early-downloaders who have pointed out improvements in the comments.

When I was making this game, I spent a lot of time lurking on various boards looking for eventing and scripting solutions. But sometimes, after someone would ask a question, they would come back and say, "Nevermind! I fixed it!" and I'd scream "But how?! I have the same problem and I HAVEN'T fixed it!"

So, to potentially help future googlers, here are a few things I learned:
1) When a cutscene event is making an invisible wall, put in "erase event".
2) There's a script that can make chasing enemies attack your followers.
3) There's a script that can fix the yanfly chase script where the ! balloon still exists even after you kill the guy.

I woke up this morning to see that At Last Alone has made it into the buzzing game list!

I don't know how or why that happens, or if a bot decides that, or if it's an actual human that puts things there...

But this is a dream come true! Facebook post made! Screen captured! Printout going on the fridge!
