Others Abandoned Aluron: Return of Man [2nd release fix] [Joni2k]

[joni2k]

Thanks so much for all the feedback. It's good to hear that the combat is manageable, that stuff is impossible for me to evaluate, since I know what to do already...

Re: resolution issues, don't know how I missed that lol. I'll be releasing a fix to that before the next demo.
Re: patreon prices, I'll be adding a 1$ Tier for news post access once the first patron build is out. The early access tier I think I'll keep at $5 because I don't want to go raising it later, and pissing people off that way. I realize the patreon perks don't get you much at the moment.

Was....was there even any sexual content in the demo? I didn't see what is in the screenshots here.

I'd be curious to hear what your experience was like? There's supposed to be an animated scene during the first dialogue, before the combat segment.

It's definitely on the tier of "proof of concept". I would highly recommend making it so that the game doesn't close out with no warning if the Escape key is pressed.

God, I love shortstacks

had an issue where i spammed through text before the first fight and it didnt start the battle. i was stuck in the the room only able to move but the enemys didnt react and i couldnt leave. nice game so far and combat is good no other issues.

there are problems with the window being too big for the pc display and moving the map with space bar and touchpad is not working all the time but i like the art

 

[HarajukuBun]

WOAAA, Even if this is a short demo, I still enjoyed it alot!

I really hope there's going to be more animations of the goat-lady in the future! I love her design soooo much <3

Gameplay is good, character art is good, aside from the main character. Wish there was an option to make him twinkish. Gets a bit verbose with the dialog, if that could be reduced I think that would be best.

 

[AnonKitten]

No fullscreen option or skip dialogue button?

 

[Joe_Dirt]

I like this beginning very much. Good writing, good story esp. in the goat-lady animation.

A butterfly-lady animation, also fishnets, to get the footjob-tag would get me totally addicted.

Thanks for all of your comments, I appreciate all the feedback and have fixed issues that people have reported.
I've put out a maintenance release that fixes a major issue (game being unplayable for people with sub-1080p monitors lol) and some more minor problems as well. The demo is now available for MacOS, too.

When I launch this game, I just get this window and nothing else.

Can't help you there I'm afraid, looks like the engine is just refusing to start on your system for whatever reason. There should at least be some text on that window for me to tell what's wrong.

damn that kobold girl for "saving" the mc

Haha, it'll be better this way though I promise

Yo. Just checking to see if you're still working on the Aluron.

Slowly but surely. Next release is in theory very close to complete but I've got some other stuff on my plate at the moment, so it's not coming along as quickly as I'd like

 

[BerglorMan94]

It's all good man! I've been keeping an eye on your project for a while now and got a little worried because of the silence. Honestly I'm just happy to know you're still chuggin along. Keep it up, my friend! I recommend doing a monthly status report on Patreon to draw in more people. Consistent updates (even if they are sparse) will help keep people engaged. I recommend at the beginning or end of the month, but as long as it's around the same time every month it'll be fine. Cheers!

2nd release changelog:

- A randomly generated dungeon to explore

- A new party member
- Abilities and items to use
- Improvements and additions to combat UI
- Continuation of the plot, wrapping up the tutorial/introductory section of the game.

Please tell me of any issues/bugs you run into. General feedback and criticism is also much appreciated, I'd in particular like to know if you found the game too easy/difficult.

 

[Minipax84]

MC keeps dying to the goat boss and apparently the game dosen't recognize loosing so it just freezes

 

[Quintilus]

General feedback and criticism is also much appreciated

First of, release project compiled in release mode, not debug.
Second, change alpha of a text window background, or even better replace it to something more dark in color, because it very hard to read ligth text on light background.
Third, increase scale of a text and textbox. Even on 50?? inches big tv screen I have problems reading it. I mean without smashing my face in it.
