Creative interpretation of the theme. The music and graphics also fit well together

so good! from the idea to the whole game! I loved the way we had design and make ways for the player and challenges or rewards, but there was still a possibility that the player would miss any of them. one of the best games I've player on this jam! amazing job!

Really creative idea, good music. 

good music and cool concept! I think the game could be improved if the walls and placement of torches were randomized a bit.  

I like games that talk about game design. Especially in a game jam, where most people playing the game will likely also be game devs, that makes a lot of sense.
This is a nice implmentation of the "create the dungeon for the player" idea, that quite a few entries went with, but it goes further than most by asking the player to actually provide stat values for the foes and the twist of optimize the dungeon from a dev perspective works well.
10ish endings is quite ambitious for a jam game, especially a solo project.

Great entry, I hope you got some sleep after working on this for 44 hours straight!
Cheers.

A really interesting way for using RPG Maker! I tried using that too for this jam, but I think your result (and entry) have a better quality! The only things I can say is sometimes the rage meter needs work. For example players rage meter before the meter is full and you can simulate more players by doing a variable rage meter, for example. The resting point are a bit useless for me, I think they must refill the player and get used as a checkpoint, but players are always refilled after every battle, so the game doesn’t have enough tension for them. Still, congratulations for the entry and I hope you will finish your bigger game!

伺候玩家这个点子很有意思，可以实时调整宝箱和怪物数值当GM的感觉很好，就是如果要反复刷高分的话每次都要完全重新配置有点麻烦，如果能在保留上一次的布局的基础上再调整就好了，需要去关卡开头和结尾才能开张的设定也有点奇怪，尽管游戏里已经说了，但还是很难注意到，不知道是出于什么考虑不放个按钮呢,或者给入口和终点的地块画个提示也好。不过考虑到48h能做到这个完成度已经很厉害了。Nice game!

Polished and fun game! Loved the music!

Very charming game!

Pretty neat game!

It is fun trying to come up with the best dungeon layout! A bit hard to find the right balance, but that's alright!

I enjoyed my time playing this game :)

Very cool. i've seen quite a few games trying the idea of "you are the developer" but I quite like the vibe of this one. I think with some more features it could be really fun to try and tinker the dungeons, preparing for different types of players, etc. 

that's fun to play! good take on the theme and like i said fun to play!  i just don't like rpg maker style but that's me i don't like those pixelart

This is very creative! I really like the concept of building a balanced dungeon. I think it would be cool to add doors that can block off rooms from visibility or walls that just block them entirely. Good job overall!

Very nice game! The tutorial was very clear so it was easy to understand how to play. The art is nice, and the music choice is nice! Very fitting SFX and satisfying, nice lore for the game too :D

I'd say for the tutorial can be improved by making the player interact instead of having to read everything which was a bit boring, but it was clear to me what the idea is by reading! Nice submission!

What a unique concept! Loveeee the artstyle of your game, suuper well done :D

Really nice game!

Had a hard time understanding how to start a round but other than that a very sick rpg maker game haha! 

Artistic wise I had a little problem with the assets because the wall texture is so much. But that isn't your problem anyway since you didn't make them haha

Although I have to say the tutorial text wall was a little much too it was a really fun experience after that!

Really awesome game for the first game jam! Congrats on making this, it is awesome! :D

It turns out that for RPG dungeon simulations combat performance and general art style is very important. The concept of the game is great, and I have seen many similar games to this idea at this GJ, but they all lacked the basic combat performance, which makes the effort you guys put into it worthwhile! Well done!

Additionally there's a slight problem that the lighting effects of the candles when running are often different from what I've set them to be, on my first round of the game it was true that only the rooms I'd arranged for candles were lit up, but by the second round all the rooms were lit up (including the ones where I hadn't set up the candles), and by the third round again some of the rooms where I'd placed the candles were pitch black instead.

Cool game! I like the meta-narrative around building an RPG Maker game IN RPG Maker, and the systems were fun to interact with. I wish the UI was a bit more clear, like when you place an enemy down it should ask you what stats you want it to have. That and letting us funnel players down into one pathway instead of worrying about the holes in the right side of the map.

I loved playing this especially because our game has a similar idea of entertaining a player and receiving rating at the end. It was fun to try and get all of the different ratings, I really liked the idea of showing all the possible ratings as objects in the world and then lighting them once they are achieved. If I could improve something, it would be setting the stats of enemies. Letting the player choose arbitrary values brings you ultimate freedom of choice, but it gets a bit tedious and repetitive after a while. I think it would work better to have a predefined set of enemies (e.g. weak/medium/strong) and introduce some randomness. Overall, well done and good luck with your gamemaking dreams!

Dude this is sick! I didn't know you could do this in rpg maker. Anyways, really creative idea!
