The ending seemed to cut out? Not sure if bug or just ran out of time to finish. Enjoyed it nonetheless!
Check the stream!!
Yes, the game just abruptly ended there. I didn't have enough time to finish it and had to leave it unfinished because while I was working on the project, I also only had one week left to complete my thesis lol, but thanks god it's over now
It's really unfortunate, but thank you for testing my project. Your feedback will definitely help with the development of this game.
A game jam game and a thesis!? To have put this together with that going on is really impressive. Keen to see how the game turns out!
Really fun concept and unique gameplay execution! I always admire when people are able to stretch the engine and make it work for them in unique ways. You've absolutely created something that stands out amongst the submissions! The real-time combat felt satisfying overall and uncovering the larger story regarding The Alchemist was fun and unexpected! The boss fight at the end was especially engaging and challenging (in the best way).
Unfortunately towards the later half we felt as though enemies became a bit overwhelming/clogged and they could be avoided in exchange for loss of resources. This isn't inherently a bad thing, but we did pass a few screens so that we could avoid the large number of enemies (resources were abundant enough that we didn't feel deprived for the more difficult encounters). Fun concept and well-executed! We'd love to see a full release in the future!
I've started livetexting my reactions to games in the comments. So here's my thoughts literally as I play:
This seems like a pretty cute start to something bigger! Woulda liked to see an ending and the controls are jank for me, but it's cute and I wanna know what happens in the story! Music is banger also.
Hopefully we get a full release of this one day! Love the girls! Want more of them 💜💜💜
Thanks for playing the game! I really appreciate all of your feedback. It helps the development of the game even more. The music was composed by my friend, JPSoundWorks.
For now, the optimization is still a bit janky, and it needs a lot more work to stabilize the framerate. I'm going to do my best to improve the use of this 3D plugin and the action battle system. Maybe in the future, I'll add more RPG elements to enhance character progression.
Regarding the room after fighting the boss, did you try going forward to the stairs? It is supposed to lead you to the ending of the demo. If it gets stuck there, I should probably fix it as soon as possible so players don't miss the important plot point at the end.
I think I got stuck INSIDE the boss room -- there WAS no boss -- just resources in a circle and nothing else 😭😭😭 You might wanna hotfix that, if you can 🥺
Did you try interacting with the pitch-black hole in front of the materials? It is supposed to lead you to the actual boss room.
First time playing a 3D action game made in RPG Maker. O: I want to know what happens next! T_T
