I REALLY like the characters, they are all varied and have their own motivations. Think my favorite character is Grace, she's a hoot. Each of the minor characters still have neat things to say, and there are parts that are quite hilarious, and parts that are quite serious (sometimes in close proximity!)
Just wanted to add something, playing through from the start (because I WAS underleveled fighting the 2nd boss) You clearly put a LOT of thought and fun into making the game. Just for the heck of it, I decided to see what the Duck guy would say as I'm getting ready to fight the second boss with Hero, Grace, and Val. I found the pumpkins bit to be quite hilarious, Raphy's listening in and berates him, suggesting he stick to game mechanics and the like. LOVE it when a game breaks fourth wall like that! I've been playing games for...35? years, love it when a game doesn't take itself seriously!
I've noticed a few spelling mistakes here and there, but they are minor (this is what happens when my mom is a grammar nazi,I pick up on spelling mistakes!) Do you want reports of "X should be spelled this way" or not? It doesn't change the enjoyment of the game at all, it's just "that word's spelled wrong...NO! Resist grammar nazi tendencies!!"
Thanks for the nice words! It's really fun to see some of these details don't go unnoticed! ^~^
Some characters are just too fun to write for but sometimes it's so hard to make it fun and engaging. Glad to hear that!
Spellchecks are always welcomed. They're better when it's closer to a release so it doesn't disturb the work flow on other things. I might create a thread for them when the next update hits.
So, who are your favorite characters so far? :3
I think of all of the characters, my favorites are Grace and Bastet. Grace because she's such a hoot, and Bastet because she's very nice and sweet (so long as you don't curse!) but hit her berserk buttons and she's pretty scary! Raphy is pretty funny but she's still a little behind Grace/Bastet for favorite. Val and Mary are both went written, a lot of lesser characters are fun to interact with, and I'm looking forwards to seeing what new things are in store for our hero and his friends! One other thing, this is a game that I have no issues playing well into the night because of the writing and shenanigans! It's "uh it's 2 AM? I need to be elsewhere in 7 hours, hoping I'll be able to get enough sleep and be presentable!"
I loved the whole bit surrounding saving Bastet. Mariah is struggling with "succubus must be evil, right??" and Val, realizing that Bastet can be saved, kind of telling Mary "let your son handle this!!"
One thing I should add, there isn't really a character that I dislike. I may not agree with all of characters but still find them all funny and interesting. Edit to add something! Having gotten as far as I can, I really liked the path to the Amazons requiring both "beat up stuff" and "search for stuff". Having found NO blooms outside of the one Leroy gave me (not sure what "kinky spirits" meant!), and having no luck with the orc pants, not sure if those are implemented yet. Boss troll wasn't too hard, looking forwards to more updates!
