Ignatius M. Meen posted:Why do I get the feeling our protagonist's old savegame appearance is modeled after Shovel Knight and that's why we never get to see what he looks like in the finished version? This game The savegame appearance is because that's a stock image in the base RPGMaker assets. Every single asset still exists in the files, bloating up the download size.

I'm all for seeing where this silly game goes. As far as graphics are concerned it does indeed look way better than some of the anime inspired visual novels I have seen. That one visual novel about mixing and matching dna is still burned into my head on how horrible the character art looked.

Agreed, I'm sick of the homogeneous anime character designs you typically see in VNs, and seeing airbrushed foxes and tigers stare you down with bedroom eyes is refreshing for a change.

Oh god, two updates in and we've had the anime fan from hell, self inserts, and ham fisted political commentary. All we need now is a ham fisted environmental message, and possibly some good old deviant art -esque "Gosh, humans sure are terrible, unlike my fictional characters!", and we will have travelled to the late 90's internet.

My "favorite" thing about this game, which I had forgotten is evident so early on, is that the dev has somehow completely spaced on the entire point of a visual novel with a first-person perspective—which is that you're not supposed to see poo poo that does not happen directly to the player character. It's supposed to be a first-person narrative, which means you shouldn't be able to view scenes that occur MEANWHILE on some other loving planet.

I, too, have long dreamt of taking the Circle Line to Tokyo. Admittedly it's a bit of a detour from Zone 1 but hey they added that stupid redundant extension to Hammersmith so who's to say the Tube can't go to Akihabara some day.

So Mr. Tigger here controls enough land to cause a planetary food crisis on a whim. His masterplan is to use this stranglehold position to run a populist anti-immigrant hate campaign and get voted into power? And nobody is picking up and putting together the pieces of this intricate econo-political puzzle. Wow, even furries get the leaders they deserve. I sure hope this game spends a lot of time exploring and explaining all the fascinating political intrigue on planet Yiff. ![]()

I dunno, the art bugs the hell out of me. Everything is ever so slightly lopsided or askew. Just look at that... wolf? in the red outfit, there's basically no line drawn from the same perspective as another. Tigertrump is slightly better, but what the hell is going on with his eyes? And what is the deal with that gigantic sausage of a tail?! How can these critters stand upright with such a massive blob dangling from their rear end?![]()

Furries love to draw huge tails that stick up into shot for no physical reason, because of accessorizing.

I'll just make a correction: Terra isn't the standard sci-fi planet name because sci-fi writers at least tend to know what the gently caress the words they're using mean. It is, however, the default JRPG world name.

I hope that's because Japanese people don't typically know Latin and they know the name "Terra" from cargo-cult exposure to western sci-fi.

If Fruity Robin Hood's way of putting that pesky politician evildoer in his place feels familiar to y'all JRPG fans, know that Tales of Symphonia was cited as a major influence to this game (along with Persona 4). I think we can expect more of that cutting political commentary and well-rounded villains. And let's not forget:Kickstarter page posted:Risks and challenges ![]()

How was that woman-wolf-being helpless? I guess when them uppity women folk venture out alone they immediately need assistance. She wanted nothing to do with Rabies. Seems to me like she's got her poo poo together more than anyone else we've met so far. I love the self-inserted Super Idol description. " I can be whoever you want me to be" ![]()

So many things about the writing in this game kill me: Frequent incorrect use of punctuation, characters repeating poo poo back to each other for no reason, capitalizing "maid cafe" for no apparent reason. However, the subtle one that really kills me isquote:
Assassins are characterized by being sneaky and quiet. Somebody who blurts stuff out would be the exact opposite of a "social assassin". It takes some serious talent to not just pick the exact wrong choice of words, but fail to notice it during the editing process. e: No_talent posted:How was that woman-wolf-being helpless?

Every time I see Kila's dopey grin I can't help but smirk. It's like a Pavlovian response at this point. What a useless poo poo character. At least he's not dragging down an otherwise well-written game.

Bird brains don't have a neocortex so birds don't feel the same set of emotions as mammals do. Or, it could be that this bizarre looking bird thing is also not a very well thought out character, and the dialogue is bad and the game is bad.
