Heh, I guess that low resolution old-man wasn't too convincing after all :) It would be funny to make a nice cutscene where the village is engulfed in flames and destruction because you were convinces by an old man :)
Yeah, I am considering to change these billboarded buildings into full normal cubes and add some events. Initially, I wanted to use them to hire different people from there. In reality though, I barely completed the game :)
Thanks for kind words! yep, I already have some great ideas to improve on the game, after I finish the demo for The Darkness Below at last. Yeah, the mace sounds exactly how it sounds in TDB, I really had no time testing all that stuff.. I liked the sound thought but need something heavier :)
I really wanted to make a game that plays fast and doesn't require much time from players to equip stuff or going through lots of text and epic quests and all that. Casual yet retro gaming :) Not going to satisfy all players for sure but I am all about fun :p
Yep, I am all about optimizing everything and mostly file sizes, being a game engine developer and all that :) Coming from that old era of cRPGs, I can't stand big file sizes and I always have the habit to shrink everything down to absolutely necessary, even though I know that isn't really necessary nowadays :D
I am glad that you liked my game :) even in this rushed version. Definitely, more to come out of it :)
