Re: Saint Shield (セントシールド~淫洛のムーラ神~) [RJ156972]
Stock assets or not, it's enjoyable to play. Sticking with something simple that works is better than releasing a half-thought-out, occasionally broken mess. I'm not saying it's perfect, or that there aren't improvements that could be made, but there is more enjoyment to be had than ~just~ getting to the H-Scenes. There's really no grind either, been pretty smooth sailing all the way through so far, and there is a branching path.
I could have phrased that first sentence better. When I say other games should strive to be like this, I don't mean that this is the "pinnacle" of these sorts of games or anything (though I stand by that it's a good experience), but that it offers a functional game, as well as a bit of H-Content. It's still leaps and bounds ahead of the numerous games that are nothing more than a gallery of some amount of random pictures done by an artist, stringed together through some barely-existent game that can be finished in 30 minutes or less while offering zero replay value.
If I'm not mistaken it's made with SRPG maker, something akin to RPGMaker but for the more strategy type i.e. Fire Emblem.
Heck I'm pretty sure those map sprites are stock ones.
I'm 95% sure this thing is made with as much effort as those H RPGMaker games where you go through a linear story and get H scene, no choice involved whatsoever, usually with massive grind in between.
