been a while since i last played.
my main feedback is this: GOOD JOB.
the visuals are a massive improvement. the town feeds more like a town instead of assets. things feel lived in. the character creator is fun. the capsule art is great (no outline too! i think that's still superior to the outline you had before).
the game complaints i had are minor.
when creating your character, a popup should tell me the namefield is empty instead of the red highlight. i got a big monitor, and i didn't notice it there at first.
the character i created is a manlet at the shortest possible height, so some animations (swinging scythe to cut grass) clips into the floor (i dont see the scythe blade). perhaps scale scythe to player height?
shift running + jumping leaves a few frames of the run animation in the jump. it looks a tiny bit silly.
there's also some out-of-game autism i must yell at you about.
your itch page description is POISON.
>Hello! We are developing a comfy farming sim, we know the market is a bit crowded right now, but we have two main differentials,
at this point any gamer turned it off. do NOT begin your description by citing the fucking market.
>our mechanics are a lot deeper than the expected for this kind of game, and our style is anime-like, but not chibi
this also does not do you any favors. i'm awful at marketing, but even i can tell this is turning off players instead of making them want to play.
Replace it with this:
Hello! Welcome to Edengrall, a comfy anime farming sim inspired by Story of Seasons (old Harvest Moon), Stardew Valley and Rune Factory.
bam. infinitely better. if you're talking about the market and what your game is not (*not chibi*), you are telling me you have no confidence that a player will want to play this. if you have no confidence, then why would i play this?
again, this isn't part of the game, but please change this. even if you think my version is ass, at least look at how other games do this and just copy them instead.
i can't state this hard enough. your progress is excellent and i am actually angry to see how a few simple sentences might be turning off players from seeing the now enjoyable visuals!
keep up the good work, whatever you're doing now is working wonders.
