Red Hand of Doom
I won't be able to complete the demo, I'm more busy nowadays, sorry. I can give you critique for what I played though (up to the tomb with the skeletons).
- The mouse detection at the stats screen is off. It wouldn't be that bad except the rest of the game has much better mouse detection as far as I can tell.
- After the first conversation, the guy immediately starts talking again.
- Is there supposed to be a paper doll (e.g Baldur's Gate) on the character screens? I don't see one, and without it there's sort of a conspicuous blank space.
- I didn't notice anything in the tooltips that stated what affects SP, I guess since the trad. DnD rules didn't have anything like that. It would be nice to know which stat affects SP.
- There are no horns on the aasimar. You might want to get a specific aasimar portrait from online (with permission).
- I couldn't save, I go to the save screen but the save button is grayed out. As such I had to rely on very infrequent autosaves. I don't know if you can only save at specific points a la Final Fantasy but it was pretty annoying.
- During the fight with the hobgoblins, the little ones actually used potions to heal my characters. Was that intentional? It saved my cleric.
Overall, though, this is excellent. It's barely recognizable as an RPG Maker game, it feels more like a spiritual successor to Temple of Elemental Evil, which is high praise. I like the way you abstracted some elements of DnD that wouldn't translate well to RPG Maker, like feats and per-rest spells. You just need to work out some kinks and this game will be excellent, a seminal work in the scene I'd say.
If you need me to do more specific testing let me know, like I said though my time is pretty limited nowadays.

Just want to say this is seriously amazing dude. I'll post some more stuff later on when I get time to finish the demo but the things you've pulled off with this engine is quite an accomplishment in and of itself.

Yep, I deleted the XPadder folder and now its working. I think there are some comparability issues with Windows 8, you might want to look into that/note it so people won't get the same problem as me. I could possibly be a tester if you need one.

Hm, I'm redownloading it right now. I tested that XPadder thing separately though, and it says it doesn't support Windows 8, which I'm using. Do you think that could be causing the problem? Is there a way to test the game without it (I have VX Ace so if I need to alter some code or something I can).
