Thanks for playing our game, and I appreciate the feedback. While it probably won’t change the opinion much, but there was context that this was done for a 3 day game jam last weekend and the description doesn’t reflect that, so our time resources were very limited when creating this.
As for the frame issue, that’s an interesting issue that it’s on the 7th frame since it was programmed to hit on the 9th, but the whole thing was programmed without JS using RPGM’s arbitrary event system, so it breaking there somehow doesn’t surprise me anymore. We wanted the capture minigame to last significantly longer, with the countess and guards to react and be alerted to player mistakes and be able to hide in shadows to avoid detection, but we were just glad the animation system I made functioned at all in the 36 hours I created it in. The guards are not properly capturable due to a bug that happened in that last hour of the deadline which wasn’t caught until after the fact.
I’m not excusing the blunders btw, the game was a buggy mess and I tried to make the best of the situation as we were running out of time. If I had known better, yeah, I’d have focused more on the capture system, and going forward if we manage to continue this (our team is very burnt out rn) there’ll definitely be improvements there and to the stealth. I was originally going more for Thief-lite in terms of mechanics and gameplay, but there’s definitely some hitman ideas that could be fun to explore.
Cheers!
