Carpe Diem: The Living Flame

[Dragonium]

Downloading now. I'm looking forward to this, and I hope it rules [STRIKE]as much as my game[/STRIKE],  [STRIKE]even though my game sucks compared to what I've seen[/STRIKE],  [STRIKE]so there[/STRIKE].

Mind if I review it afterwards? (I may have quite some playing to do though... )

[Linkforce]

Thanks Ian.

My Review: This is MY HONEST opinion, so if you don't like it, then I'm sorry, but this is how I felt about this demo.

Story: 2/10
There's a story? I don't recall seeing anything about the plot of the game. You start off totally unaware about anything in the game. The intro doesn't explain the game, and it hardly makes sense. You read a couple books about stuff, but there's no base plot explained.

Gameplay: 4/10
Alright, first you're a guy on a flying ship and you need to jump down to somewhere. Where? Why? What's the point? You jump down, and now you're a princess? You walk around, talk to people, read books, and then leave. But wait, now you're not the princess, you're that dude again. You fight, and then now you're the princess again? You fight, and now you're the dude again. WAY too much stuff at once man, way too much.

Maps: 4/10
The maps in the beginning are pretty bad. They're way to big and have hardly anything in them. They're rather ugly in my opinion. They're a little better when you get to Temeri, and that's why you got a 4.

Graphics: 5/10
The charsets are rather ugly in my opinion. I just don't like them. Except for the guy with blue hair (forgot his name) that blackskullwarlock made. The battle charsets are good though.

Difficulty: 4/10
Ok, it's pretty much really boring and then there's a few easy battles, but then you get to the cave. WHOA, now the difficulty just raised about 5 levels! What the heck?! You need to balance the difficulty in the game and have a steady flow for it.

Overall: 4/10
In my honest opinion, I didn't really like this game. It was really boring, and then got hard at the cave. I felt like I was walking around for nothing, because I have no idea what the plot is. It was way too crowded in the beginning with the switching, mainly because the scenes were way too short with the characters and then it switches to another. There was really no introduction of who the characters were, except for the princess, and a tiny bit of Skylar. The maps obviously did not please me. This game could use A LOT of work, in my opinion, but hey, it looks like other people like it the way it is, so don't go changing stuff for one person. That's my opinion of the game, and I was completely honest with everything.

^ What he said , Sorry man but I didn't think the game was so much fun

[Linkforce]

Ok, I'd like suggestions please on what I can change to make it more to your liking.

hey linkforce you doing good just you need more balance in the game....like Haru he is alot stronger then everyone in the beginning and kills the soldiers in no time....even with his Dbl attack he should do the same as the other guys just twice...and you shouldnt switch parties....from the guy to the princess....so quickly that kinda throws it off...at least for me...but other then that.....sprites need a lil touching up...battle characters are fine...maps need to be more in depth and filled up....other then that just fine tune and touch up everything and you should be fine

My opinion of the game:

Story: ?/10
I don't know

Graphic: ?/10
...

Maps: 1,d0n'7,kn0w,1,h4v3n't, 7ry3d,17,y37/10  <------------------
hehe... Computer language... (Ask if you need me to translate that^)

Gameplay:?/10
I haven't played yet...

Since I can't download it yet ^^

Anyways... Why make a easier version? No challange then... Not like you make 2 versions of FF7(for an example) and make one of 'em easier...

Wish I could play the demo

[Linkforce]

Ok, thanks alot InsaneJP.  And as previously stated, I will re-release the demo with all the touch ups and new stuff soon.

[Sqoad]

Hehe... For those who can't play the demo you could always place up some more screenies. (Wait.... Am I the only one who can't play the demo?)

[Red Fox]

Add more stuff to the maps , they are really empety , make the cave a little easier , otherwise is it good. Yeah and don't use rtp
