Not the houses. Trust me, not the houses.

Didn't I tell you to trust me? :(

Seriously, though, Verdimea's houses use a REALLY harsh gradient and are particularly ugly. Also, they're a lot smaller.

What about those round, red enemies....

Just about all RPGs have those.

I stand behind my review. That game only got what it deserved. I mean, God, I had to play through that whole thing.

One thing I've gotta say, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be from the description, it was worse.

Calehay, you talk about this game as if you put a lot of thought and effort into it, and that makes me sad, 'cos I don't see it in the finished product.
I would like to reassert that
YOU
HAVE
A
LOT
OF
READING
TO
DO.

Wow, Uncy, you linked my article. After re-reading it, I now realize how bad it is. No, no, no...

I should consider rewriting it...

I didn't pick the 8 best articles ever, just the 8 I thought would help Calehay the most.

Calehay · Posted: Mon Oct 11, 2004 2:32 pm Post subject: Thank you

This is all I wanted. I need to know what to make me a better RPG Maker.

Parallel to Crescent Dream: The beginning is, but what I have planned seems to be going on a completely different direction.

Please, don't give me a break. Uncommon, you're review was a little harsh, but that's just because of how you worded it. I understand what you mean.

I put thought in the game, but not as much as I wanted to. Since this was my first game, I wanted to use one of my lesser stories. (Believe me, I do have much better than this.)

The houses: Yes. These are pretty ugly. This is the problem with creating something for a long time. After a while, they just started to look good.

Dialogue: The characters are quite flat. Again that's a fault of the story.

I thank you quite a bit. However, there are a few things I would like to say.

Verki is a man. Did it never say that in the game? Ree said "He wanted to speak with you." Tell me if it didn't.

Multiple talking: Forgot to do that part of playtesting. (And yes, I did play the game.)

Battle Theme: What's wrong with the battle theme?

Thank y'all quite a bit. You may feel that you have been cheated of time, but you have allowed someone to open their eyes to their faults.

And note Uncommon, I didn't think this game was amazingly brilliant. I thought it was just a game.

And what's wrong with Sani's hair? Would it help if I posted my concept art.

Expect this demo to be redone. (Sometime in the future.) I'm going to take a break from this game for a while. I have some other things to worry about.

I actually designed the characters very flat. I've created much better characters.

I agree. That's the most mature response to a critical review I've seen in a very long time. I salute you for not trying to excuse away your faults.
