Hi! I just played the game, and I have some constructive criticism. I don't know what's currently planned for the game, so I'll say all my thoughts.
When it comes to the character creator, it feels a bit lacking. I personally did not feel represent by any of the models at all. I think a good way to go about it is to seperate it into two different things. Bodytype and skin color. First being able to choose the bodytype, and after it is chosen, choosing the skin color. It would keep the screen unclutered, and permit more representation.
I quite love the artstyle, it's cute, simple, and it really relaxes me in a way I enjoy. Though my main gripe's with the animations. They feel choppy and disorienting, they way the characters keep jumping left and right makes it hard to move around in a way that is satisfying.
The music is really good, my only problem is that it doesn't loop properly and it's distracting. Making the loops feel more seamless would help to stay focused on the experience.
The battles are definitely unbalanced, so reworking them a little bit could make it all feel more fair.
Minor nitpick, but when it comes to area that are unacessible for a short duration, maybe having it be more seamless could be nice. For example adding a crowd to block it, or a tree blocking the way, anything that isn't an invisible wall basically.
But the thing I think most about is more so related to the story. There's these mythical creatures, that are seen by most as being just fairytales, but if you walk like 10 meters, they're right here. It makes the world feel quite small. It's hard to believe that no one has ventured into these woods when they seem to be right next to the town. I think that having traversing these woods as being laiden with obstacles and weird detours could really help. Instead of being a straight line, it could zigzag, maybe you'd have to move a rock or two to continue your journey, jump over a river. It all seems too easy, when it shouldn't be.
I think this game has a lot of potential, I really enjoyed my experience so far, it feels like a work in progress to something really great. I can't wait to see it getting better and better! :]
