Hi mate,Hi there APD13, I wanted to hop in to say your interactions here motivated me to break a personal rule and try out a game way early in its development. You seem patient, friendly, open to critique, and generally laid back, so though me playing your game is hardly a huge favor to you I still wanted to offer a show of support by whatever meager means I had available. Thanks for being cool, and keep it up!
In regards to the game, if I might offer my humble critique, I have to say I am highly optimistic. As others have pointed out, there are some slightly jarring timeskips (though you have assured us all vital details will be explained, so I am not too concerned by these). Perhaps they might be a little less jarring if there was some indication a timeskip was about to happen? A slow fade-to-black, or some transition effect like the "..." that shows up in other games? Just a thought. There are some grammar mistakes (specifically I recall a few verbs not in the proper tense) but nothing so egregious it pulls you out of the story. And I would have liked to have seen the witch stabbed or beheaded or however it was we dispatched her, rather than simply see "you killed her and left." It's a cool moment that feels anticlimactic, especially since we don't really see the fight beforehand. Otherwise... that's it for critiques! So far, your renders are beautiful, your characters are alive, and your setting is engaging (cool map effect to indicate travel, by the way). I especially like Morrigan and Wilfried, and I suspect once I've spent more time with her I will like Liliana as well. Oh, and I really love the opening music!
All in all it seems like you've undertaken a boldly ambitious project, and I really hope you understand how much that is appreciated. Many will warn you not to bite off more than you can chew, but as far as I'm concerned "go big or go home" is a more fitting line. Please keep up the excellent work; don't burn yourself out, obviously, but also don't let yourself stop if possible! You've built some great momentum and an exciting world to explore, and for my small part I am really excited to see what comes of it. I hope you have a great day and again, thanks for being cool! I'm glad I gave this an early shot!
Thank you for your words! It is always refreshing to see someone that likes my work. For the proofreading part, there is a person that will be reviewing the first chapters and regarding the plot, I can only tell that it will be magnifique. There is no question without an answer.
Yes, the project is an ambitious project which, I hope, it will be the beginning of something greater and I have to say that with
the next update I will implement a feature that will change the gameplay and will enhance the user experience.
See you in the Vis world,
Mad King
