Reviews for "-Telepath RPG Chapter 1-"
Wonderful!
I enjoyed playing this game very much! In fact, I'm totally jealous of you! Gah... I wanna make an RPG sooo bad. Anyway... I have some "critisim" (aka nitpicking) and a question, if you'll answer it. I was wondering how you got started with ActionScript? Is there an FAQ? A How-Do Book like "for Dummies" or something? Thank you!
Anyway, on to the actual review thang. Your game is highly impressive! There are so many ways to customize your character that I didn't know where to start! ...So I didn't. Oh, well. Perhaps you could use the same system in the *hint, hint* sequel or something! If the game were long enough, I'll bet I would have used it by the end. Thing is, your game is, as you already said, short. But, y'know? That really doesn't matter a lot if you're going to make a sequel.
Your art was very neat and clean. My only complaint would be that it was a direct top-down view. I never got to see the main character's face! Of course, that solved the problem of him not looking like the player, but I think it would have helped his personality if we could see him.
Did you write your own music? If you did, it was excellent and totally set the scene. I expecially like the music in the Academy shops.
On a different note, the personality stat (or whatever it was that gave you more aptitude with persuation) was genius. It's like Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga's "stache" rating, only to a new extreme!
Now, you've hinted that you might make a sequel, and I love that idea. If you're interested, here's what I'd do: I was really longing for was more character and plot developement. So, my suggestion to you is to either continue the story and have occational flashbacks, or to at some point in time create a prequel. The phychic, Harry Potter-like world you've created has left me longing to know more.
What are the classes like? How does having phychic powers effect friendships and relationships? That sort of stuff. What's made me love RPGs is not so much the strategy, but the storyline that drives the game forward. :) Oh, and on a side note, be careful that Anya doesn't turn into a clone of Hermionie (the smart one) from Harry Potter ;D!
Anywho, I've taken up enough of your time. Thank you so much for making this game. It was great. I eagerly await your next flash, whether it's a sequel or not!

Thank you for the review! I'm glad you liked it.
I've actually never read the Harry Potter books, honestly. I got most of the way through the first one, but got bored. I guess I was spoiled by the Wheel of Time and Dark Elf series. :-)
As for how I learned ActionScript, I just searched for tutorials online, of whch there are many, and spent a lot of time experiementing and figuring out how things work (and don't) in Flash.
Great.
Its a great RPG. my only complain is that when i first played the game, i was always saving, saving after every battle...after every skill purchase..... after i put on the bracelet..... which meant whatever i did i couldnt get past that shadowling dude in my room. D: . that kinda sucked, but i played the game over and beat it. i tried all endings, i think. its a really cool game.
Graphics - it sorta annoyed me how everyone all had there hands held out in front of them. I got over it fast though.
Style - I have only played one other psychic type game, but no pyschic RPGs.
Sound - I liked the music, especially the song in the tutoring room. sounded errie (sp?).
Violence - no blood or anything, but there was battling so that gets a 5.
Interactivity - its an RPG. lots of interactivity.
Humor - I don't think this was meant for humor. not really funny, but still a great game.
Overall - Short. D: . can't wait for the next one. :D I'm sure it will be awesome! (do you have an estimate of when it will be done? :3)

I've already started working on some stuff for it (a new walk animation, improved movement code with easier running), but I doubt the sequel will be out before next summer. I've got law school starting, and there just won't be much time to make it before then. Alas!
WOW great game!!!
WOOOO that is a great game!!!! I cant get into the shadowling leader tent! i attacked the sentry but then i left the camp!!??what do i do???i need help.
MalTheDestroyer responds:
I have a FAQ online that answers this question. Go look at my profile for a link, or read the Author's Comments. Anyway, thanks for the nice review! :-)
Good, solid game
This game is a nice round out game, connue on youre work.
i can't seem to find the way around the shadowling to the leader's tent. How do you get past them. I havee tried every pathway in the camp i think.
