Re: Sisters&Brothers episode 2 eng
Sure, if you would like the longer form feedback:
1. The game seems to lag on a lot of the maps, I feel like it's because they're too large overall. This kind of drags on the walking process, which is already very slow.
2. Maps like a) Both hallsways b) Outside the castle c) the Fields d) everyone's room e) areas of town (cemetary and stuff) just feel too big. It's not at all fun just walking for 10s to get across a screen over and over again.
3. The quests are mind-numbingly boring. Getting 5 pumpkins one at a time while Old McDonald BLASTS in your ear isn't fun in the least. I feel like a lot of those scenes could be done just as well with a fade to black followed up by some internal monologue like "oh that took forever, my back is really sore now".
4. Often, when characters talk to you somewhere they then slowwwwwly walk out of the screen. This is another problem with the large maps, in that it takes damn forever to get control of your character back. It's not fun to watch an NPC walk for 10 seconds just to try and follow them across the map for another 10 (I'm thinking of the thief in the marketplace scene) Another example is when your sister wakes you up in your room, you have to wait a good 5 seconds after she's done talking for her to leave.
5. The music is really, really loud in a lot of scenes. The Old McDonald part was the worst, but the pub in town is also irritating. I think the music should be at like 25% of the volume it currently is.
6. Why is your older sister so rude to you? Could we get a tiny bit more backstory so that we understand that? I'm guessing it will be explained why the Cousin/Aunt are there through the story, so thats fine. But I have no idea why the older sister is so rude immediately.
7. For an H game, there really aren't enough H scenes for how long everything takes. I understand that you've added in those ...meanwhile... scenes for this exact reason, but they really seem out-of-place most of the time. In fact the only time we've seen the protag with anyone that I saw was with the maid. Maybe some random ecchi moments in town?
The Good:
I think your art is largely incredible. The older sister specifically looks great. My only nitpick with the art is that the main character's outfit is really weird. Why doesn't his shirt reach his waist?
Overall, I think the issues I've listed are pretty easily fixable. I got stuck trying to find the marketplace thief and gave up, so I didn't see the end of chapter 2. I may take another crack at it tonight.
