SENSUALPOPCORN'S PROFILE

author=Roy
I like the idea of an open ended game which gives you latitude...at least to a great extent....to do as you wish. But many times, and even now as I was in my posts above....I was completely at a loss as what to do. True there were people who gave me quests and others advice and such but it still seemed too much of a clueless waqlk around. Many times I was lost as to what to do next and would go over areas again and again trying to see what was next. AS you know I asked many a question. I am still not sure if the game is almost done or if there are some other things needing to be accomplished."

I'll try adding more guiding posts around. As of now Id say the core game is: mage tower, sebille's town, ghost town, the 3 baron quests, and the Muljinar temple. in the two smaller towns and lavos there are smaller events to do.



"Enemies werent too hard. In the lower pwninsulas when it was opened up for exploration, although you do have things to doo in one area....the monsters there were the same ones as above, at least on the world map. I think when you actually have that part done they will be different....I hope. Bats and rats etc were becoming a bit boring. The encounter rate was pretty high and I wished youd had a potion or something to keep them away from you. They certainly helped in getting EXP though."

thats good, i plan on having enemies (somewhat) scale up in later areas. enemy variety is def something im working on as well as balancing out the encounter rate.


"Your spelling was pretty good actually, with just a few errors. I am always amazed at how brilliant you game makers generally are but cant spell worth a damn even with that new fangled thing called spellcheck. Not everyones forte is spelling but usually there isnt a good reason to have such terrible spelling in a game. Your grammar was pretty good as well." good to hear, i try to double check as often as I can. grammar, in general, is written as I imagine the character would speak it (same with some spelling, obvious with most characters).


"Your first town was a bit too big (for me anyway) and I never liked going into it...strange because nothing was actually WRONG, it just felt too big."
now this is interesting because I want a feel of strangeness to match the theme but i feel the size allows me more flexibility to add elements without making 10 versions of one map. so this is something i feel will come up again.

"I like your descriptions of items although mostly they were a bit confusing what they actually did. I am not the brightest player and when things are confusing it makes it more of a chore to play a game." glad to hear and I can tinker with the descriptions, in some recent playtests ive realized even i am not sure what will happen (and im not talking about the hidden sideeffects of certain items)


"I am enjoying the game and would have even more if it hadnt been so open ended...or at least more hints and clues. I am looking for your next demo!
Soooo am I almost almost finished with this demo...what are the main things needed to accomplish in this game?
