I know you’re not taking any new feature suggestion, but this topic is more about polishing the game, and maybe adding new assets to improve the experience.
I’m in the climax of the game, and so far this was a good experience. But there was only one problem that somewhat bothered me troughout the game: a lack of polish.
Of course, there are the bugs, but those are inevitably being fixed, what bothered me were those things:
Poor music variation between cities and routes. Some are unique, but the rest uses 2-4 of the exact same tracks. It would be cool if each city/town had it’s own unique music, or even a bigger selection of tracks (2 or 3 more) would be good. I think that big city where the second Augur lives definitely deserves it’s own track.
Speaking of music, the default wild battle theme is bad imo. For starters, it’s the Black and White trainer music, which is already inappropriate since it’s a trainer music, and second, there’s that very weird wind sound effect while the music plays. It sucks to be honest. But it’s thankfully not a big deal, because you can freely swap it with other tracks in the game’s files. An battle theme unique to this game would be cool though.
The fact that the cultists don’t have their own theme is kind of a shame too, and that can’t be changed in the files. I don’t think each cult needs their own music either, there just has to be an theme that makes them sound like a menace (like their bosses have, except a bit less menacing).
The screen fading effects only cover a portion of the screen on any mode larger than “Small”, i wouldn’t complain about this, if it wasn’t for the fact that other games made with this engine have their proportions work on all sizes. Seeing how many features you added to this game, i don’t think it would be that big of a problem to fix this particular issue (i could be wrong though).
I… guess that’s really it. Some extra variation on the tilesets would be nice too, and the second Augur statue looks ugly in earlier cities/towns, while it looks better in other cities/towns, but aside from that, those were the issues that bothered me while i was playing. But not enough to ruin my experience.
I’m sorry if any of this sounded harsh, i just think that this game, with more polish, could go from good to great. I don’t mean to be harsh on the developers, and i know that making fan games is just a hobby and can’t be anything more than that, but this game could be benefited greatly with a little more time going into it.
It’s still a good experience. I like the Deltas, i like the new Megas, i like how grinding is easy now, i like the story, it’s a good game. I’m hoping to see your work into a future project, but if there isn’t one, i guess the things i asked above could be more than enough.
