Hey, I’ve gone through a similar process myself, so I’ll write my thoughts as I have them:
- The game window should have a higher resolution by default. The game is way too small on my 1440p screen, and the character art is way too detailed for a 1280x720 view, creating nasty aliasing.The GUI text is also barely readable at that size
- ESC should bring up a pause menu at all times.
- I get that the first battle is a tutorial, however there should be prompts that explain what everything does. Right now I have 4 bars that are unlabelled (I take HP, Mana, “Super armor” are 3 of them), and I have some skills that I have no way of knowing what they do.
- There’s no need to display the mobile UI if you are playing on PC.
- I couldn’t figure out how to assign a skill. My first instinct was to drag-and-drop, which would probably be preferable to the “assign mode”.
- It would be nice to be able to view party member’s statistics in the inventory screen if their portrait is clicked.
- Some sort of turn indicator needs to be added. I can only tell which party member I’m controlling from the skill bar.
Unfortunately I can’t give any more game design feedback as the game is unplayable for me, crashing any time I use a skill outside of the tutorial. Don’t let any of this deter you! I want to see where this game will go!
