Here is a quick look at Chou's Prophecy

I did not read the entire post with the link in it (or just slept since then and forgot) so there is not as much here as I would like... I may try again tomorrow.

If Bloody has any suggestions for content, please let me know.

I found the encounter rate too high to wander around much and without a password or debug menu I was unable to gather much source material.

I never did equip the sword and did not even notice it was not equipped!! Remember when I told you that I do far more programming than playing games? There's a clear example of what happens when you put faith in my game playing skills!

I put the time I expected to spend making screenshots and playing around the game into a single high quality animated gif file instead.

It shows a truly impressive Custom Battle System!

My Critique : Fantastic work on the enemy actions!

I was trying something similar for The Clean Underwear Quest, but failed.

My biggest complaint is stupid, but the kind of thing that I tend to notice... The Square button does nothing!

Invariably the first thing I do when I put in someone else's game is press the [] button to see what they did with it. I am always disappointed when nothing happens. At least put a random silly noise there as a place holder! Or something. A pause button that kills the music and blacks the screen is a simple enough script and truly makes the game or demo seem more whatever word I'm looking for.

A small complaint is the use of Virk with his name and model unchanged. I am tired of seeing his model in everyone's games!!

But those are both trivial.

You did a fantastic job on the CBS!

I'll try the sword out when I get back to play tomorrow. It should not present too much difficulty to make another file with that shown.

Peace.

Yeah, that's cool how the enemies go attack the actual members. I think with them doing that, some of the text is unnecessary, but that's just my opinion. From what I've seen, it's looking great so far.

You're right, I should've described the content in more detail. Just check the original demo's post where the extra info will be.

Basically a video of the content I listed in the demo post will be fine Rodak, thanks a lot.

*shivers* I hate that text so much.

I noticed you used my Bag Item technique, he he.

Anyways, looks good so far, but that video's very short.

[BloodKnight]

Well, the bag option is just a placeholder for now(since skills are handled in the Magic > Other menu). I don't know what I'll do with it, but I plan on having some kind of penalty or incentive for using the bag.

Penalty for using the bag?

[doyleman]

Good use of modifying the DBS, but not much for me to exactly say bout it. Nice swords though

[BloodKnight]

That's it? No opinion on the magic system? Not even on the OMG footsteps? I think they're done well.

Yeah. Character inventories would be worthless. I'm not gonna put something that makes people not use the bag, but maybe a limit or something, like a total of 36 items can be stocked, or each party member can only use 6 items from the bag. I know few will approve of this.

If you're using my method, there's one so-to-say penalty for using the bag (I have my teach-about-gameplay townsperson in the beginning explain this, so don't worry about it). If two party members try to use the same type of item on the same turn of battle, but there's only one of that type in the bag left, the second party member to act will do nothing. In my game, I also give them a lot of the basic items - so that they only have to remember a few items that are low in stock.
