Re: Sarah's Life - [v0.2 Public release 09/05]
- map design - awful. 0 efforts. Author even doesn't bother to use other tilesets. Elf sprites, Sara with cloak? So terrible.
- game play - 10 min or even less. So what is the point of this game?
- amount of pictures - 20 or even fewer. Seriously?
When people support so shitty product like this, other product with much better graphic and story remain unsupported.
I am sorry for being so negative. But I can't find other words to describe it.
The elf figure is a pretty easy one to change, and without sprite elements it really isn't the focus of the game. Even so, that's an easy thing to edit in at a later point if that's something he wants to do. He could literally switch out the model for anything and it wouldn't make a difference. Terrible seems a stretch here.
I agree that the elements of game play are rather limited, it's similar to "Incest Story" in that the game generally takes place along a rail where you are led from event to event. That said, Incest Story also has a large following, if you're wondering where patrons come from.
20 pictures for a version 0.2 isn't that unusual, how many should you expect for a demo? The point is to give you a taste of the art. And you could potentially claim that the art isn't to your personal tastes or something, but it would be quite incorrect to say that it is simply bad art.
What other products are you referring to? Or are you just comparing this game to "something better"? Because that's a completely useless statement as is.
Finally, you say you're sorry for being so negative, but that's a load of crap. You aren't suggesting improvements, alternatives or advice to build on, just saying how you think anyone who supports the author is an idiot.

Anyway, for everyone else, I've been doing editing for Impure on the grammar/sentences/spelling, so if you notice anything I've missed currently in the demo, let me know!
