This makes testing the game near impossible right now.
I got to the point where I was at the house where you practice fighting while trying to find my friends and came upon this "lost forest" type area where it just loops the same screen nonstop. If I'm suppose to find my friends in there then it's basically gonna be deleted right away. DON'T EVER make a map like that in the tutorial. Putting it in the game at all is enough to make most people delete the game as soon as they get there. The game as it is right now it far too cryptic and doesn't really tell you where your suppose to go. It gives a few tiny hints but in a tutorial part of the game you should be showing exactly where you go. This makes testing the game near impossible right now and it needs to be fixed asap.
It isn't the same screen but i see your point would a trail of your friends be better? you found your way there all right though, I didn't want it to be too easy because of egoraptor-You must be registered to see the links
I will change it but you need to know this is more a play around sort of demo i felt i should show what I've got so far, also the friends do give you clues once you've found some of them, only one is in plain sight though
A hard RPG is nice and all but putting that right in the tutorial is like a middle finger to the player. Unless you put some sort of clues leading to the right area it makes it impossible to navigate and ruins the game completely. In all honesty as soon as I realized that the screen was repeating I yelled FUCK THIS GAME and shut it off. Even Zelda has ways of knowing which way is the correct way. Yours is 100% trial and error which is one of the worst things to do in any sort of game unless your goal is to piss people off.
It shouldn't take long to make a proper map to search for them in, I thought the slight differences between maps was funny ^^; sorry
I don't mind them in most games but in a RPG maker game it's really hard to notice differences especially since the area is a little big. I honestly wouldn't of been as annoyed if it wasn't in the tutorial part of the game.
The game so far before that part was decently fun but sort of lacked an opening. It needs an opening scene that explains what the games gonna be about. Right now in the demo all you know is that you're a girl, you have friends, and you do chores. Nothing else is known, so if I'm just a random person who bought the game without knowing what the story is about before hand I'm gonna be like "wtf is going on".
Scrolling text explaining the story would work perfectly fine, but add a way to skip the intro as well for people who want to replay the game.
I would just call the foxgirls the japanese name for fox. The english spelling it Kitsune and the hiragana spelling is きつね.
It's alien enough that a native speaker of English wouldn't find it as odd as calling them Foxes beast girls or Fox girls. I think this effect would last even for some one that was a native speaker of English but also spoke Japanese.
On the Japanese side of things, they'd recognizes the word and i think in most cases quickly put to gather the fact that your talking about fox girls. However i don't know if culturally this is a good idea.
Here are some cultural tips on japan. Fox's are consider tricksters so you might want to put that into the game. Don't shoe horn it in, but it would make sense that humans dislike the kitsune because they cause trouble.
If a character is eating noodles, have them make a slurping sound unless it's european noodles. Basically if you don't slurp then you don't think the noodles are good.
This is likely really bad grammar and makes no sense even to a native speaker but maybe your name should be something like "Kitsune wa jeanzu no naka wo shimasu" Roughly this translates to kitsune is doing something in jeans. Again, i'm not sure the grammar is correct. I think it should be "naka de" not "naka wo" and i'd have to make sure jeanzu and naka are spelled correctly.
first off i was correct about naka being inside but jeans is "jiinzu"i could allways go the bakatest route and have a japanese title like Kemono no mori: kitsune to ookami (forest of beasts: foxes and wolves)
Your events are kinda fucked up right now...
I can't move after this, I'm still a child at this point, and it literally breaks the game(When I try to restart the game crashes).
So I finally found all the kids, I have all the items listed on the chore list, but finding all the kids does nothing at all(One of them I can't even talk to), and attempting to head back to the village makes me run into the wolfmen.
Looks promising. Hope it's playable soon.
