Purchased! Hi from the dcjam discord :D
Hi! And thank you for the support! I hope you will enjoy your time with the game! :)
I recommend this purchase. The DEV is constantly updating and making the game better. It's very rare for an indie developer to solo something this big. Supporting independent devs who actually complete a game is important.
I am expecting some more awesome work from him in the future.
Hi. I just got the game here. One thing I immediately noticed is that there are some of the standard RPG-Maker-sound effects in the game. I noticed it when I loaded a game. Is it a placeholder? Other than that I really enjoy exploring the world you've created and look forward to further developments.
Hi and thank you! There are still placeholders here and there, but I will replace as much as possible along the way, probably those sound effects also at some point. The next update will bring the more visual inventory and 'quick bar' shown in store page screenshots.
Hi, thanks for your fast reply. I'm glad to be on board for this ride.
No problem! I hope you enjoy your time with the game!
Decided to buy here for above the asking price. You keep doing you, and I hope this is profitable and fulfilling for you!!
Thank You for the support, I hope you enjoy the game and have a wonderful Christmas! :)
Just bought it here, been watching you post a lot on Discord and the game looks good. Going to test it out right now and I will give some updated feedback.
Great to hear, thank you! I hope you enjoy the game!
Quick question, is there a way to set the keyboard controls? I like to be able to turn with left/right arrows.
Unfortunately not, but numpad offers alternative key mapping where turning is in 4 and 6 keys.
Love the atmosphere, design, and audio. You did a great job with all of this. Currently I haven't had much time to play the game past the town, haven't fought anything yet. I get 20 +/- fps and the loading screens take too long.
I think there are some ways to optimize the game so it's faster. I am getting ready for work, but I can send you my pc specs. The newer versions of MV3d run insanely slow for me. I am going to see if I can tinker with some things and get it to run smooth and if I am able to, I'll message you about it.
Thanks for the feedback! I'd be interested to know your specs. This is quite demanding game and though it started with MV, I'm now using MZ. There's some optimization coming with the next update and I'll try to find more ways to improve the performance along the way. But there's one problem: I'm stuck with a certain version of the MZ3D (v8.3) because newer versions will cause bugs for this project that I haven't been able to fix. Same goes with nwjs (I can't update it beyond 0.5x), but that is probably because of some plugin incompatibility that I have to dig deeper into at some point.
But I'm glad to hear that you like it so far!
