Cute game really nice concept. I can see your inspiration from dragon quest for sure on this. It's honestly a very cute game. I hope you continue to work on this and finish it!

Thank you for giving it a go! I'm not sure I can continue Dedicated Healer necessarily, but I do really hope to make a fully fleshed Dragon Quest-like at some point in my tinkering! A lion's share of the time went into doing the pixel art, and I'm happy it ended up with a good vibe to it ^^
Probably the only things I needed to round the bases on were some more set dressing for the dungeon, face graphics for the characters, and some more tuning and balance. There was also some more independent behaviors I wanted to set up for Zeffir, like using a healing item after battle even though he has 80-90% of health, to kind of reflect some quirks old AI controlled part members did in RPGs that unfortunately fell to the time budget.
If I return to it, it will probably have to follow the "main" plot you're not actually involved in in Dedicated Healer, but I think the events of DH would still take place. I think it would be a good way to introduce the theme around power if that remained as a theme I wanted to involve in the "main" game.
