im no big fan of the screen, but taste varies from person to person

Yannes, any particular detail you don't like? Text font? Background color? I'm open to alteration ideas.

basically the artwork, I don't really like the style, and it's completely different from what you csee in the game (facesets).
also, the pose is a bit dull imo

the font and background are ok, but nothing special

I agree that it's not the same style as the facesets, but I've seen it done in other games (like the Laxius Saga). I like the more home-made feel to it. I'm at a loss about the background. I agree that it's a little plain. But I'm unsure of how to alter it. I want it to match the artwork.

Re: Backgrounds:

I really LOVED the old background, but I also love the new artwork. Do you think you'd be able to combine them both? Just my opinion, though, and a suggestion. *shrugs*

Hmm. It's certainly an idea. I don't know if they will look good together though. I'll play around a bit and see if I can come up with a more creative background.

Right. Style, etc. play a big part. It was just a suggestion though.

I'll take it into consideration. I really appreciate everyone's opinion!

Could you put in a auto save? because if there are people like me (who don't save enough) is could be hard to p[lay through all of it

Hmm. I hadn't thought about adding an auto-save feature... would a suggestion to save following major events help? Like after boss battles the save menu pops up?

maybe you could make an autosave file (separated from saves you make yourself), that saves everytime you enter a map?

this game is so fun ^_^

Thanks theswamp111! I try!

Ok everyone, a little update as to what's been happening in the game lately! I recieved a few comments about the cooking system and gathering recipes, so I've made some big changes to the whole thing!

First off, you will no longer gather recipe "cards". Instead, you'll have a Cook Book where all the recipes you get are stored automatically. Second, you can now cook anywhere. Below is a screenshot of using the Cook Book! (Yes, the "mouse" arrow is supposed to be there. You will turn into the arrow when you enter the Cook Book, but still move it as you normally would.)




And I haven't forgotten the autosave feature. I'm still looking into it.

Oooh, I like it~

However, I have to say I preferred only being able to cook in certain places. XD Ah well, this will be fun too!

Well, being only able to cook in certain places is a very easy thing to change. I'll start a poll! Please everyone vote and the winning option will be the one which appears in the game! Voting closes May 1st at 5pm!

I like the new cooking book better, but i agreee with elemental
either use a stove, or you need to use some materials to cook in the wild (option C)

Alrighty, well! Due to overwhelmingly clear results, I've decided to close the poll early. 100% of voters said they prefered to be able to cook at an Inn stove or player-made campsite. So, today, I begun the process of making these changes!

EDIT: As of now, the party can only cook at the stove in an Inn or at a campfire in a tent (which they have to purchase to use.) Thanks to everyone who helped me make this decision by voting!

Ok, so I told a little fib. Just a small one. But I've learned my lesson. Never promise anything is final.

I've been looking at the title screen after seeing a wide variety of reactions to it. I decided that I agreed that the background was too plain. So, I messed with it a little bit. Now I've got a new version (which may or MAY NOT) be the final version. Thoughts, anyone?




This may be my own personal last attempt at putting together a title screen. Depending on feedback, I may ask an artist to design something for me. If anyone's interested, just let me know.

Ooooooh, I love it! Of the three, this is my favorite so far.

My only critique(sp?) is that the words are a little hard to read, but besides that, this I think this one is totally awesome.

First off- great updates, love the cook book!
Secondly, the new title screen looks great! I agree with Elemental, it is the best out of the three. You could probably try to darken the letters, maybe? It would look better. =D
