You can embed youtube videos by typing:

But make sure you use [] those type of brackets instead of {} these.

The Screenshots look pretty decent, the plot however, is incredibly bland. Like, what exactly does an adventurer do that would make me so interested in playing the game? Also, who are you playing as and what is he like?

You should really work on presenting the game better if you expect people to buy it.

The screenshots look quite promising, but the storyline leaves a lot to be desired. There is very little for us to go on in your topic, so I cannot see you getting many buyers.

The game itself looks quite interesting and I'd like to give it a try, but I see nothing in your topic that encourages me to buy it.

Looks promising from what I've seen so far.
I guess that I'll explain the plot once I play it, because mentioning that you're an adventure isn't really a good plot, and I honestly believe that you're more creative than that.

But DoctorTodd, for some reason your game has a weird display name.
I don't know why it has 'G&G' in it's name... What's the amp; for?

I know it doesn't have a very rich story but the game is just about exploring and fighting stuff. I've only sold four copies so far (to my friends at school) but they have all given positive feedback on it and are recommending it so I may get some buyers. I have absolutely no idea why the heck the demo installer says that. Any way I actually started on a sequel, though the characters are not related. It's basically going to be my version of Fate, and there 750 levels of the dungeon.

Spoiler for I never thought I'd see the day:

Ok there are a few things that I think could be done, I hope it isn't too late to change anything since you've already released your game.

First and foremost, please stop making my web browser open a new page everytime something exciting happens, being constantly reminded that this is a demo and I need to pay for the full game is actually kinda irritating. This is something that should only be done at the start and end of the demo

There is a kid jumping a skipping rope in the town and when I speak to him form the left he quickly faces me and turns back down, you should put a 'Direction FIX' on him to get the desired effect of being ignored

Scratch that, quite a few people here seem to be doing this actually.

This battle music is awesome, I'm really

to it, I wish I could say the same for your town music though, the default RTP is not really my style.

Seriously this is the 5th time those snakes have defeated me ;_;

Ok so I've been playing for around half an hour, once you level up enough, those snakes aren't a problem anymore. But holy crap man, leveled up by only a couple of levels and I already got a shitload of new skills to use.

I like your battle music and the gauges that you use to determine the attack order.
I also like that you have a display in the bottom left corner which shows your characters stats.

The animations that your character has are also brilliant, I love them, and those other characters that I've never seen in any other game are also nice to see.

As a suggestion about your puzzles. Be wary of how you implement them, the question of 'which coloured slime is the strongest' is subject to what I actually think.
Because in my own game, a red slime is not the strongest coloured slime. So your questions should be common knowledge in your game.

Also, you have far too many random monster encounters in your game, reduce the step counts a little bit, please.

I didn't do much else, but from what I've seen so far, I think this game is pretty good for only $5.00

As for the story itself, you are correct, I've literally found absolutely no story to this so far, and story plays a big part in a game for me.

So in my own opinion, this game seems to be worth $5.00

But I recommend everyone to try the demo before deciding.

Thank you for your feedback, in the full game there is a much better encounter rate. Like I said the demo is outdated and I will fix it as soon as I finish a massive essay ._.. Any way I used ace RTP graphics and music in it. I may change the rate at which you gain skills since it comes pretty fast. About the web thing, it's needed so that I may have it hosted on Aamaranthia games. Before I start the second (which will also be five dollars), I'm going to release a expansion update with new maps, weapons, and possibly enemies. I can change basically anything in the game so I will fix those problems.

The demo is now up to date.

#9 • Apr 19, 2012

Alright I updated the game, this is hopefully the last update I will ever have to do. This is a pretty huge update, check the videos to see some of the changes.
