Game 2/3 finished, looking for testers

Comedy-Action-Adventure-RPG

-- Edit 3 years later --

I actually finished this game in its entirety in early 2016 but I never updated anything. I just thought about it today as I was discussing other small games I have made so the updated link is below!

I've done extensive testing on the game so it should be pretty bug free now. Hope anyone that sees this has a nice day :)

-----------------------

This game is my first try and that is its title at the moment (Open for suggestions). I've worked on it off and on for several months and now I'm stuck on where to direct the story and improve the game.
You start out as a person who has lost your memories, while you look around to try and understand who you are you inevitably have to save the world (of course).


Features:

• 5 towns on a world map (looking to finish the sixth for game completion)
• Largely interactible environment
• Intriguing storyline with some fun comedy put in to make it seem like it's bad on purpose
• Mini games (only 2 currently)
• 12 different classes
• Yanfly's improved battle engine
• Puzzles ranging from easy to nearly impossible
• Cheesy dialogue
• Moderately difficult bosses
• Two somewhat different paths based on whether you're a damage or tank based character
• Lots of easter eggs and hidden items to find

Looking for people to test the game and give feedback.
The storyline of the game has been completed up to the beachside town, once you get there you're done.

*added more pictures

*updated links 4/28/2018

May I ask where to download the demo?
If you need a testplayer, then a demo link wouldn't be bad.
I can't help you with grammar error's, because my english isn't the very best. :D (\s/)

Yeah sorry, I definitely forgot to add the link. I'm not sure how to edit the post so i'll put it here.

Oh and another thing I just noticed. I meant to

put Hanzo Kimura and below under tilesets instead of music :p

Reviews or suggestions of any kind would help a lot. You can post them here or message me. Thanks in advance!

Here comes a first look, played the first hour of it.
And it's what I can say so far:

+ music player on maps

+ the humor

+ secret stuff to find

+ riddles

+ Arena fights

+ Side Quest

+ Easter Eggs

 

CONS:

+ Missing Questlog

+ mean traps that forces you to go back to the first town or else you get defeated by thiefs

 

SUGGESTIONS:

* the transparent confetti with white background looks strange

* To much time in the maze, because you can walk as you like and still have 20 seconds + left


Also found some strange lookings things:
1.

2.

3.

4.

It happens when you go to the left or right darker stairs and then walk on the pillars.

5.


6.

7.

Overall it's fun to play allready, but some things are missing or not polished enough. ;) (\s/)

Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback! I have a question about the quest log and the thieves.
How would you recommend doing a quest log? I guess I could bind a common event to a key item and it would give a little text list at the bottom or I could modify the menu itself and make an option for "Quest Log". This would obviously be better but would take more time. 
 
About the thieves:

Thanks for all your help!

I used for quest that one:

Not sure if a questlog is possible with eventing. 
May you could write a questlog to a book that could be found in different locations.
But if you want it to be shown in menu, you mostly need a script for that. ;) (\s/)

I didn't meant the thiefs in the first town, I meant the one in the ice town. ;)
You can click a event by the fortune teller that set's your HP to 1.
I meant that combination. The Inn and Item Store is sealed, till you get rid of this problem. ;)
I know you can buy stuff in the first town, but I wanted to spare money. :D

May it was my own fault, wasn't that bad, because it only took me 15 sec's by 30 FPS. :)
And a thing I forgot, I also really liked the chose of class and gender. I wish there would be more games like that. <3 /)

This is a double post, but I wanted to get sure, that the developer get's the review. ;) /)

I think I reached the end of this game, here the last things that bothers me. ;)

 Why I think I reached the end of the demo is:

I really enjoyed what I played so far and I would look foreward to play the rest of the game. ;)
The fights weren't to easy, nor too hard. I also liked, that it isn't a button mash FF fighting. You really need to look what you are using in battle. :)
Also the two mini games are really cool. The music changing in towns are great too. There are many easter eggs and secrets to find, which I really prefer. :)
The only bad thing I've seen, where many windows that had text outside it. :/ 
I use this script to make the text fit the window:

I hope my review was helpful. :) (\s/)

Thanks again! I just updated the links. I continued the game a bit adding a new town as well as some extra stuff in the other towns. Where you ended actually wasn't the end there are 2 more towns, the guy with the glasses should tell you where to go.

Also, I already have a different text program that's not compatible with this one so I can't use the text wrap. I tried to fix any error I found. Thanks for playing!

Small bug fixes, finished fifth town, started working on last area + boss (check it out :D )

Links broke. Please fix soon.

It looks like bitly isn't working using this text editor, weird. I'll put the full dropbox links up in a second, thanks for telling me!

No problem!

Finally got the links to work, I had to re compress the data for both since bit.ly apparently never deletes links. Sorry if anyone got email spammed while updating the post 20 times.
