Hyptosis, you do not need to make full games. What you currently do: small projects, point and click adventures, amazing artwork - that is the beauty you can and should deliver to NG and the world. Most developers are struggling to achieve anything, and what you have achieved is already very much.
Reviews for "Spellsword"
Hyptosis responds:
Thank you so much for the support and kind words, it really means a lot man. ^_^
I enjoyed this little demo game. The art is nice, the voice acting is fun (I like the guy in the middle of the first village who says 'hullooooo'), and you've written some interesting characters (plus you haven't mindlessly slapped lingerie on your lady characters).
Some critique:
It's frustrating that I can't used WASD, especially since I need to use the enter button. Arrows + enter are annoying.
On the map, it would be cool if it indicated where you're coming from or if it would show a little preview image of the place I hover over. I mean, no big deal for the demo, but if you expand on something like this you'll probably want it.
I trust that if you made the actual game there would also be actual fight sequences.
Hyptosis responds:
Those are fantastic ideas! I will make sure to include those.
Good but buggy. Had problems crossing the force field in the ruins, then the screen filled with "Num vertices: 8." Not sure what happened, but it messed up the game for sure.
A tad strange.. this is quite disappointing for your usual games.. the story and the characters seem interesting enough, though it's framing kind of reminded me of the beginning of the Lord of the Rings. but why zero gameplay? I understand this is just a short demo but the least you could have done is insert some gameplay feature other than walking and talking, especially if it's an RPG. Also, using pixel art from other games ruined it a bit for me...
sorry, but 2 for effort.
With it was more immersive, like a Zelda-ish type. I love ALL of your games, I'm a huge fan of the fairytale series. Perhaps you should look into Kickstarter? I would gladly donate to see a full game!
