Thank you for checking out the first episode. I truly appreciate the interest. Let me try and answer some of your concerns.
1) The focus of the game originally was gonna be helping myself improve my mapping, so each episode is a separate game with bigger and bigger world map. So the stories and gameplay will get longer with each new game. (Note: all the games will be playable from this page)
2) Alrick isn't the main character of the main game, but we will visit his story from time to time. Originally, every game was gonna be a one shot, so I had no main character at the start.
(Note: I have already done episode 2. I just haven't put it up just yet, but the main character is actually Laura, the sister of Melissa who you save at the end of the episode. I decided on the story revolving around her as I created Episode 2.)
3) I don't know why Laeh will miss. That was never my intention. In fact, I'm a firm believer that anything that cost Mp of Ap should never miss. You're already paying a price for it. I will need to look and see why it does this. In fact, even Alrick's move set shouldn't miss either.
4) As I said, episode 2 is already made, however, I will keep in mind your thoughts (Alrick's backstory, What is a Mage Sword, etc.) for future Episodes.
I hope this clears a few things up. Thanks, again, for playing and I'm glad you had fun.
