Ah this was really really fun! :D Can't wait for the full game to come out, I love the crafting portion of the game and how the pinked item turns into a full image once you craft it! I adore all the characters and Saskia has such a fun and cute personality! One thing I wish there was is a back button when you click what you plan on doing for your schedule! It seems like you can't go back which is unfortunate. I also wish there were little notes about the items added when you learn information from Johnny 0: There was also one typo - enrol instead of enroll but overall this was a really great demo!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the demo! For the scheduler portion, you can actually go back by right clicking, but there's admittedly no indication of that so I'll be sure to add one for the full game. Which items were you wanting more information on? The books Jonny gives you? You can find info on each item in the game in the grimoire on the computer, if that helps. Thanks so much again for trying out the game!
Oh that's sounds really helpful to know, thank you! :D If it's alright for me to make some more quality of life comments I think a note about where to buy snacks would be really helpful as I didn't realize they were in Liang's shop until much much later! The grimoire is really helpful thank you for telling me. I was also having trouble finding Vervain and I was wondering if it was avaliable during certain weather like stardust?
Absolutely, quality of life feedback is super helpful so thank you! I'll be adding a tooltip or something about this in the final game, but if you need to know where to find an item that's part of a recipe you can click on it in the crafting menu, which brings up a list of locations to gather it and should tell you where Vervain is (you can either gather it on the meadows with a higher foraging stat or buy it at the marketplace if you've unlocked that). Hope that helps!
Thank you! I was playing the game again and I ended up with another question - Pandora wants us to craft an Enhancer for her by October 30th, but I asked Oleander and it seems like the recipe requires one to be level 2 in potion making. However it seems like the bar for stats moves very very slowly and I was a bit confused on how one would reach level 2 by the deadline?
Another question I had is if there is a way to craft better weapons to use again the monsters Saskia encounters in battle? c:
It is definitely possible to reach level 2 in potions by that time (bearing in mind your potions level rises when you craft a potion as well as when you study) but the deadline is admittedly very tight! In the full game I'll have Pandora make her request earlier to give the player more time to raise their potion skill, I've had other feedback to the same effect so you're definitely not the only one having trouble.
As far as weapons go, you'll learn some by raising your metalworking stat, but the easiest way to get early game weapons is to either fulfil Ingrid's request for cloth (she gives you a weapons magazine as a reward, admittedly I think it would be difficult to craft the cloth she requests before the demo ends) or to fulfil the request that gives you Water Balloons as a reward. You'll be able to use those as a weapon in the demo, but you can also see the recipe for any item once you have it in your inventory, and you eventually unlock the ability to craft items freely even if you haven't learned the recipe in class (I think you might be able to unlock this in the demo if you fulfil a lot of requests, but I'm not actually sure...! It unlocks automatically a little after the demo ends). I'm currently working on adding more weapons to the game, so there should be lots to play around with in the full release.
Phew, sorry for the essay! 😅
