I’m not gonna lie, when I see Parody games my expectations are never high, that being said I was honestly surprised that this wasn’t some A.I generated garbage to cash grab off fans of Naruto. I’m happy to see that you know how to code and implement it in Point and click adventure and highlighted choices, as well as with skill checks. though none of these things are particularly hard to do it can still be a bit confusing keeping track of all your variables. I myself am not a Naruto fan (flame me if you wish) But I still really enjoy the characters of Naruto. After playing V0.15 I have a few positives and a few negatives.
Positive feedback: -The Character design is very appealing. -The free roam system is fluent. (except for one instance) -The skill checks make the game have re-play-ability and lets the Player decide how twisted they want to be or not. -The UI is well done and easy to navigate.
Some Negatives: (these are things you can easily fix/implement) -At the beginning, choosing a name for your “Father” first was a bit confusing because I didn’t know if that was the MC or not. The MC should always be named first then the rest of the cast fallows. -Though the Character design is good It should be stated somewhere if any images where generated, though having generated art is not a crime it should still be stated if it is or not for many reasons. I myself am still unsure if some scenes where generated or not. -One instance in the free roam has not been implemented, when in the MC’s bedroom and you skip time, the next scene puts you in the hallway instead of back in the MC’s room, this was very annoying when I just wanted to pass the day. -Skill checks are great and I’m a big supporter of them, however there seems to be an issue with the “Mothers” hatred skill check, at the start of the game during the free roam I had an option for hatred but I failed the skill check, I raised my hatred so I could pass it but when I finally raised my hatred the option was no longer seen. it was like a limited time event(I saw the option only 3 times) so that was a bit annoying as I like to play the villain. “this may be a feature but I think if you have a skill check it should remain at a later instance so you can pass it when you meet the requirements, unless it’s a story decision” -The last and final thing is the fact you can choose the age of the characters, I love this idea however some people might be little children throwing a fit at how you can type the age “6” and the game allows it. tbh I really don’t care what age people type in as the game states that all characters are 18+ and it’s not hurting anyone as the game is offline, also who is going to believe the “Mother” is 1-18 years old? I think this is fine as it allows the scum to fantasize or whatever and it really doesn’t hurt anyone, it’s just something to keep In mind is all. fantasy is fantasy for a reason, we all have a different one and we should all respect that one persons fantasy does not have to be your fantasy, so let the L0lic0n Guys and Gals have there fantasy as well. “Even if we think it’s fucked up”
I hope this helps you out on your adventure and I will be keeping tabs on your work.
