    Story
    This is the story of a man named Kin. The player must take on the role of such character and regain their memory. However this memory haunts Kin without him knowing of his actions. Through this adventure the player will find people who wish to help Kin in his quest. But evil lurks around every corner, as the antagonist, a mysterious hooded figure, chases after Kin to impede his attempt to recover his memory. The player will uncover secrets and learn of the mystery behind the events of the comic/manga of Project C.U.R.E.

    Do you need someone to compose original music for this?

    Me and my friend can help you with that.

    Here's a demo of some of the stuff that we've written in the past:

    I played through your demo, and you've got some interesting ideas here! It's a bit rough around the edges, but with some more work this could be pretty cool.

    Ended up writing a lot
    I loved the comic-style intro you did, but I accidentally ended up skipping it the first time because I hit the spacebar so I needed to restart. That was my fault, but a small message in the corner that said "press space to skip" would've stopped me. I was a little disappointed that the panels didn't position themselves in a pattern (they seemed to be random in where they stopped), it would've been cool to see all the panels laid out like they were from a page of a comic.

    The story in the demo seems pretty straightforward, though from the teaser you posted there's clearly more going on. I did question the village chief's decision to remove the bridge's lever without leaving any message behind, I would have expected him to have left a sign saying to come speak with him if needed. Luckily Aimi guessed that the chief would know what happened, otherwise their adventure would've ended before it could really begin.

    Battles were spaced well, I never felt annoyed with a random encounter because I always had enough time between them to catch my breath. I found myself not using skills on most of the enemies because they could be beaten pretty easily with just the normal attack, but they came in handy for the boss fight. Upgrading the skills was a nice touch, but I have to question why even bother with having the ability to downgrade them if you don't get the full JP used back?

    I think your maps could use a lot more love. Most of the interior ones (especially the tower ones) seemed much bigger and emptier than they really needed to be. I also think playing around with tints could really make the maps pop. You're using tints to show darkness inside some places, but I think you could go even farther with them. For the desert areas a more yellow or red tint would make it feel even hotter, and inside the tower of memories maybe a purple-ish tint would make the whole place more mysterious. These're just some quick ideas I had, but tints can really add to the atmosphere.

    The game seemed free of game breaking bugs, so good job! I did notice a minor error with the Revival Potion's pop-up, the description was cut off. I'm not sure if it's just not implemented yet or not, but I bumped the 'A' key and it told me I didn't have a map of the area, which seemed really odd considering that I had a minimap sitting in the corner. Speaking of the minimap, I had a few moments where it ended up hindering my view of the map (like hiding the stairs on the first floor of the tower of memories. I'm not sure if it's possible with your scripts, but I would have appreciated being able to turn the mimimap on and off.

    Thank you so much for your feedback! I appreciate you writing so much to help me :) I am definitely going to work more on those points! On the long run some things such as the skill upgrade will make more sense. I'm still figuring out a way to get rid of that message when you press A, which is actually just meant for the world map to have a bigger view, which you get a map later on through the game.

    Wow! It's been 2 years since the last update. I've been meaning to post an update for some time now but never got around to doing it. Lot's of work has been happening behind the scenes. The music being composed for the game has also been progressing very nicely. But today I just want to share little bits of what I've been working on. (Please note that none of the images represent the final product.)

    This is the new look for the battle HUD.

    Here's an improved look for the Menu.

    Expect more updates soon! :D
