Great game!
« on: January 25, 2008, 05:25:30 am »
First off, when playing the demo, it felt like it would never end and that made me happy. But then I saw the DEMO VERSION OVER message in the middle of the map and my heart sunk. So I quit the game, and I'm staring at the screen wondering whether or not to use what little money I have left to buy the game. I turn off the computer and mull it over.
The next day I blow all my cares to the wind, and buy it and play it for 7 hours straight.
Your game does not disappoint.
There were only a few things that irked me off, and they are trivial and stupid and you are permitted to call me trivial and stupid for mentioning them:
#1 Naija's mouth when singing. I know you can barely see it, but when zoomed in, it's the same rectangle for every note.
#2 Without trying to spoil anything, the Mithalas Boss dialog. It was kind of cheesy.
#3 The black screens with only sound. As much as I loved listening to Jenna Sharpe's lovely voice, you weren't leaving much to the imagination.
#4 The cooking screen. I'm playing this on a laptop, so you can imagine the workout I'm giving my trackpoint. A simple change to one left click=check ingredient/move, two=place ingredient for cooking, one right click = eat(if possible)

That's it. Those are the only 4 things that were negative.
Now then...
For the 31982 things that were positive:
#1 The music! Oh god the music! Very, very well done!
#2 The graphics. Amazing. While rooting around in the mod tool I saw just how complex but simple it was. That last sentence didn't make sense.
#3 One controller(mouse) gameplay AND keyboard support?! Thank. You.
#4 Non-linear gameplay. So much fun to explore.
#5 Fluid movement by characters and enemies. No jerky motions means no jerky comments!
#6 Did I mention the music?

I'll be back to put in the other 31976 things later. In the meantime I need sleep.
Holy crap I just noticed the awesome smileys and could have used them in here!  :'(

Another Holy Crap!
Derek worked on Eternal Daughter! That game was also amazing!

I think the cooking screen also has shortcut keys, check your configuration.
And how exactly can a mouth that sings tones when only opening her mouth irk you? It's not like she sings "Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do".
God sees and knows everything, but at least he won't gossip about it.

Actually, by having a black screen, you're leaving EVERYTHING to the imagination.

This...game...ROCKS!

I agree that the cooking interface was a bit cumbersome to use. It really would help to be able to sort foods by name or by type so you can find the ones you want easier.
