    The characters that will make this game soar.
    CHARACTERS
    Spoiler
    Natsuko
    ddl48px-64a8e9e4-3459-49ea-93ea-4d76ff1a1f3b.png
    Natsuko is a simple minded girl often regarded as "helpful"to everyone in her town. She only has good intentions for
    the most part, but she's not exactly the best when it comes
    to fighting from far away. Her greatest quality is her big
    heart, She is very friendly and will do what she can to
    help even if she doesn't necessarily know or like the person and her friendly appearance draws others to her.

    Chiron
    ddl48qh-027cd3c5-5b38-403e-9f67-49d1399db8c6.png
    Chiron is one of the smartest people Natsuko knows, his intelligence
    rivals rocket scientist by a little. Chiron has always been
    cautious since he was able to walk, but if he's with Natsuko he can do
    anything he puts his mind too and while his friend Natsuko
    believes that her path is never straight, he'll try always
    try to find a straight path in any situation.

    Valerie
    ddl48qk-2e0c3b64-8191-4556-bd16-5bbee8acdcd8.png
    Valerie isn't the "lose your favorite console and forgiving"
    type. Valerie is a self-taught Swordian, her parents
    are unknown so she was never taught proper etiquette and
    can sometimes say what's on her mind, regardless of what
    trouble may come of it. Valerie's been friends with Natsuko
    since they were 3, her automatic feeling to be the most
    responsible one in the group is why she cares.

    Falco

    Falco's a scientist that developed the power within Aino.
    He created the device that develops negativity into living things and while it was an accident turning living things into monsters, Falco sees the potential in it and decides to use it to control the planet.
    His bright intellectual appearance hides the fact that he's out for only himself.

    Kathi

    Kathi is an assistant to Falco, she has feelings for Aino and did care for him until she found out why they had him. She feels deep depression for Falco's negative use for him, but to remain by Falco's side she must hide these feelings. She still hopes that somehow and someway Aino will be okay.

    Aino

    Aino was a normal child, but slowly began to lose his normal appearance after certain incident. When he touches organic matter they turn into monsters, because of the incident he feels negative feelings for the people around him and tries to push everyone away, but Natsuko sees the wound and wants to help heal it
    The story of this game that tells a story of a young youth.

    Hi! Your game looks good, but there are a couple of issues with your thread.

    1) It's unclear whether your game is a full game or currently a demo with a full game that's still under development. If it's a Demo, please clarify this where you say "DOWNLOAD LINK" (or somewhere else in your topic) so that people know what to expect (and so that we can approve your thread in the Games in Development section). If it's a full game, let me know and I'll move this thread to the correct place.

    2) When I clicked your Download Link, it tells me that I need permission from you in Google Drive to access the file (and therefore every single person trying to download your demo/game will need you to approve them). I believe this is allowed here, but it seems like a really unintuitive way to do it! If you want people to try out your game, I suggest making the file accessible to anyone with the link you provide in this topic.

    3) While this is certainly up to you, I think that adding a few sentences (and maybe even a picture) above the "Sections" and outside the Spoiler tags could be useful in getting people interested to read more. Use those few sentences to really highlight what is (or is going to be) great about your game!

    I'm working on a better demo right now, that one is really out-dated.

    Elemental Light Status Update 1.0
    Hello, Everyone!

    I know it's been a few months since the announcement trailer and obviously that must mean I've made progress since then and yes!
    I've made a whole load of progress since the first trailer!
    Before we get into that, I would first like to introduce Messar Music which is the main composer for my
    game project, Messar Music has already
    finished about 5 tracks for my game and I absolutely loved them! I may as well show off the first battle
    theme he sent me, OLD Battle Theme.
    Fortunately we both decided that the battle theme wasn't really perfect for the project, so we scrapped it
    and he sent me one that we both rather liked, I'll show that in a future update.
    So what I've recently finished is my right now most proud achievement, finishing the main characters
    battler sprites! Natsuko, Chiron and Valerie,
    hoping to make a website for my game....but let's
    continue! For the next trailer, I have to draw some portraits of the main 3 and with the voice actors finish
    some voice acting from the script, but we'll hear more about them in the future.

    I HAD uploaded a new and improved demo, featuring all three of the playable characters, and more skills, a good idea of what the game is going to be like. However I needed to remove the link to it until further notice, but after I fix the problem please try and help me fix any bugs and errors!

    Has anybody already downloaded the demo?

    @everyone Sorry, I should've called it a beta, even though it's not my first game, I was unaware of so many faults. Please forgive my incompetence....I promise that in the future, I will bring you all something worth playing.

    So I downloaded the demo to give it a shot myself. First I'd like to say thanks for sharing a demo as this allows you to get people playing and get some feedback. I played to the end where we get on the bus.

    Anyway, the video you linked in your post by FleshToDust already summarizes my thoughts pretty well and I don't think I need to repeat them. That said, I will add a couple additional points:

    - I think the art is probably your strongest point, at least once you get more of it in there and fix the maps like it was already stated. I did notice Valerie would vanish depending on how you were oriented in the world and while walking. I assume this is because her sprite isn't done yet, so perhaps maybe throw in some placeholder images (even her standing frame just sliding while walking will do) until her sprite work is complete. The battle sprites I think are definitely solid though!

    - Without repeating what FleshToDust said about maps already, I think the biggest most important thing you could do is make it clear where the map transitions and where the map is just a dead edge. Even if you had something that looked terrible art wise where transitions are, it at least communicates to the player where they can and should go. After that, you can always revisit and then figure out a way to make it look cleaner.

    - I'm personally not a fan of the Japanese audio at the beginning of each battle. Maybe some people are but I find it very jarring and out of place. This may work if your setting was in Japan somewhere or if you game was going to have a Japanese localization (translation), but otherwise I would just cut it and put a different sound effect instead.

    - Definitely heal the player once the dream at the beginning is over, otherwise you are going into battles at 1 HP which is bound to set the player up to lose unless they catch it before hand and eat bread (which many people won't).

    - The game file is really rather large and it looks like the www folder is nested quite a few times for no real reason I could determine. Perhaps you could clean up the export a bit and this should reduce your file size quite dramatically.

    Either way, I don't want to judge too harshly as I know this is still a very early build with many things still in development and bound to change. Definitely keep going though as I think with improvements you can actually make something very enjoyable!

    Thanks for the notable, useful and refreshing feedback @ChampX
    I will try to get to most of these errors and have them fixed.

    I just wanted to let everyone know Elemental Light is still moving forward. The RM build has ceased updates for now, but other departments of the game development are still in motion. Some people have messaged me wondering if the game was still in development and It is. I hope I have eased everyone's worries. Thank you~

    @Everyone , I have to say it but most of the files for Elemental Light have been lost.
    The RM Build and pretty much all the artwork.
    Honestly I don't really know what to do, so I'm gonna see what the community decides.

    Should I make a new game from scratch?
    (A completely different game. New story, new characters, new world and new beginnings.)
    OR
    Should I make a new Elemental Light build from scratch?
    (By making a new Elemental Light, A LOT of the resources will be different besides the story.)
