    The majority of people is one orc though. And the path isn’t critical. And that path was meant to be tried with a companion. It even tells you so.

    But going there to fight the boss by yourself (sure go for it) and then losing and complaining about it is kinda yeah, just wanting to bash.
    First time? Don't mind that one troll; they just like to bash everything.

    Congrats on the release!

    I don't think this is a fair characterisation of someone clearly giving feedback to try and help improve a game. Sure, SG's communication style can be more abrasive, or direct, than people are used to, but the specificity and quality of his feedback - in terms of how immediately actionable it always is - cannot be overstated.

    I think labeling him as a troll (and thus someone whose opinion should be discarded) is a deeply unkind thing to do.

    I would personally drop the drama now and move on, let's focus on what can be improved in the game. Regardless of what has been said or not said, the game is still pretty good and enjoyable.
    There are flaws but it's not unfixable stuff, it can be played decently from start to finish and mostly importantly, it's not boring.
    I had fun playing it and it's rare for me to get so immersed in RPG Maker games, shows that @TESTOSTERONE 's writing is actually pretty good.

    Like I said in another profile feed, it would be nice to have achievements and Steam Trading Cards in a future update.

    Yeah guys…I like to look at things this way. The rate and level of feedback given to this game is because the dev is clearly kind, motivated, personable and has a project we’re recognizing clear potential and love for.

    I personally only give very detailed feedback to people who a). Are likely to act on any of it. b). Have created something that even has a clear path to move forward.

    I think the majority of respondents have something in common…they want the game to succeed.

    I totally agree. The game is really, really good - I'm really enjoying it.

    I just don't think that calling feedback "drama", or calling people giving said feedback names is a particularly good (or productive) use of anyone's time. This thread is at exactly where I'd want discussion of anything I put out to be, teeming with boundless positivity, and also advice on how to fix the (very few) issues anyone has with a 1.0 release.

    Wind Ryder absolutely slaps. I just hope there's a 1.1, is all :D

    Well said, @Iron_Brew!

    @TESTOSTERONE I'm currently doing the series of side quests to find Elizar, and his first two notes mentioned leaving behind two items at each spot I've looked for him, but I've only gotten one of the items of each pair. There some secret to getting the others, or is it random?

    @Sword_of_Dusk iirc, you have to fight the 2 bosses twice.
    But, ofc, I could be wrong!

    What @Kes said. Thanks Kes! You can farm the 2nd item by beating the boss again. They respawn every 30 minutes or so.
    (You only need to beat them once for the quest)

    I reported that as a bug at first, of course I was mistaken.

    I told @TESTOSTERONE:
    This is really serious, I was able to fight some bosses twice!!! OMG!!!

    These chibis are EXTRA adorable, gah!!!
    What an achievement to get that many downloads in week #1.

    Taking a break after a large project is incredibly important. I don’t know what it is about creative brain, but I actually get terrible insomnia after finishing anything so the best thing I’ve found is to become pure, raw potato Meg. There is definitely a jolt and an electricity that follows people after completing a complex yet rewarding task.

    Aw, thanks @Ms Littlefish, who knows it might be my new thing to do the chibis with your characters for fun. Haha, becoming a pure raw potato sounds perfect.

    @TRIDIUM hahaha
