Second thing, writing. If we close eyes on the whole voice acting thing, it is good-ish? I'll be straight to you, I've got access to the whole script. Didn't expect but I enjoyed it! The ending wasn't so much enjoyable though... Felt like all this hard work wasn't worth it? Kinda dumb, and instead of the whole "comedy" effect it was just mere disappointment! And small dosage of irritation. Glad knowing that at least wording of the decision is to be or not to be in final cut. Hmm... Well, up to you. Do not screw this up.
Third, visuals. This game caught my eye because of Total Drama style. But poorly designed.
Strokes of Fern are inconsistent when they compared to one another.
All of them stand (or at least Pixie's face) in 3/4 view. Except Duck, Broom and Peregrine. Out of all three, (or even the whole cast) Peregrine is REALLY stands out from the characters, it's sickening to see. Why couldn't Mary or Lulu draw him in 3/4??? He just feels like a poster at some moments.
I'm just glad his ox got the side view, urgh... Blessing to my eyes.
Background is really inconsistent too. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not. Noticed the artists have a really good grip writing the nature, so I'm really curious what next set of foresty illustrations would be.
UI is nice.
But also, hope you'd add stubbles, beards, different types of body shapes, scars, eyebags, new hair, etc. at some point or another.
Because this type of customization currently sucks...
Thank you for playing LotW and I appreciate you taking the time to write such a thorough review. I will keep your feedback in mind for the future though I can't promise I'll act on all of it considering it's an unpaid project and that I'm currently soloing all of the coding.
Above all, I'm sorry it's not up to your standards and that it was not an enjoyable experience. That's never what we intend as devs.
