Hi,
I'll keep an eye on your game. The musics are nice. Besides,

– Ability to switch between the four characters, each with unique overworld mechanics

I hope this feature will get some particular attention.

Thread watched. Don't fail.

Good r34 potential.

Drawing inspiration from a variety of classics ranging from Paper Mario...

Would you mind elaborating how and in which way Paper Mario has inspired you?

The musics are great.

When I become an adult graduate from college get to your guys' age, Grimoire will be released.

Edit: Fuck, wrong thread.

I don't know. Seems you're a little too influenced by other games. Every feature you've mentioned some other games that you want to emulate. What about drawing from life experience, or other aspects of culture? Or brainstorming your own designs first? I'd like to know what ideas you're bringing to the table that aren't drawn from another game. There are a million homage and mixtape games out there. Inspiration and cannibalization are two different things.

I wouldn't call this game an homage or mixtape game, as I myself am not a big fan of indie games that prioritize paying tribute or emulating inspirations instead of branching off into their own territory.

As far as drawing from life experience, each main character is based off aspects of my life or my friends' lives...

I hope that piques your interest a bit more, and I'm glad you posted this because it means I need to focus more on telling people what my game has to offer instead of what games have influenced me. While it's good to be inspired by great games, I'm certainly not interesting in spending thousands of hours working on a poor man's carbon copy of Chrono Trigger or Golden Sun, and if that's the impression anyone gets from my posts then I need to re-evaluate my promotion style. Thanks!

Good to hear. It's just one of my personal pet peeves with this hobby, and American pop culture in general. Every artist/creator is influenced by something, but I believe one should look into their own well before dipping into another's. You should promote the game how you think is best though. A lot of people do respond well to comparisons to classic games.

The visuals have a lot of charm and appeal btw, so kudos to your artist(s).

You (or someone) should set up a GOG wishlist item to vote this up on there.

Just curious, what happened here?
