Hey!
I played a bit of the demo and I have some feedback, in no particular order:
-You need a copy editor. A lot of the dialogue (basically all of it) flows pretty awkwardly. In particular, the verb tense is incorrect in a lot of the sentences, and there's also a part in the bar where the thug threatens to "beat off" the bartender, which is a euphemism for masturbation, which I don't think you were going for.
-The game makes you wait around a bunch. Implement the ability to mash through text, it goes slowly. Combat also needs to be about 3x as fast as it is, too. The menus are nice, maybe just a "combat speed" slider would be good, with the default being about twice what it currently is.
-I was surprised that you can't explore the town in 3D mode. I understand not wanting to make assets for that though so I won't fault you on that.
-The combat system seems cool but the tavern fight showcases none of it. Make me interact with the cool stuff sooner. In particular, I didn't see the purpose of AP; why do I have 3 ap if I can't slash 3 times, a one AP move?
-The animations are stiff
-The game at about 30fps at 1080p on my computer, and while it's not the best computer (4770k + RTX 2060) it should be able to handle that. The opening scene is particularly egregious. My guess is that there's just too much in the scene, or you're letting the fire particles get crazy off screen.
-You can move in the opening scene before the man stands up, and he just slides around on his knees
I think you have a good framework here to start, but it needs to be sped up significantly. I hope I wasn't too harsh!
Thank you so many feedback, bug report and your candor!
I'll fix translation and opening issues with the highest priority!
When it came to translation, my forecast was completely mistake. And it's easy to imagine that it was very disappointing to everyone who played.
I'll also consider other items carefully.
Thank you so much. And I'll try to make this game even better!
