Actually the opposite. People who care about making games use RPGM because it lets you make and complete one. While people who only boast about making a game are always speaking of using more complex engines or making their own. The result is they end up abandoning their projects or having them in always early access unplayable state. Not to mention the games made with it have SOVL.';

The whole idea behind RPGMaker is that it's braindead easy to use, but also rather limited. Hence, it draws in writers and artists who would never be able to make a game otherwise. Anyone interested in making a more complex combat system would likely have the skills/autism necessary to use a different engine. Hence, the most common type of games being created, and consequently, the type of games people started to associate with RPGMaker, are artsy walking sims. If you want a game with a deep combat system then this is not the engine to look for.
Of course there are exceptions, I'd readily put the combat system in games like MGQ:P and Black Souls 2 above many JRPGs developed using real engines, but those games are the exception, not the rule.';

It depends, if you go straight for the main plot and story and don't pay much mind to what's around you it probably will last for a good sitting (a few hours, an evening, etc.). But if you stop to read dialogs, optional text, checking corners and doing the side content, very probably will last you more than that.

The game has 0 grinding and 0 procedural generated content. All combat, investigation and asking characters stuff is handcrafted. So there's no filler and everything is part of the story.';

Remember to use your summons, they're your most powerful attacks. If you got the Night Wolf his ability is useful for lowering the Undead's health down quickly. Consume Grysials when your mana is low to recover it. Also, use the Red Bombs which do fire damage and don't consume mana. Most enemies have at least one elemental weakness, when you find it you can turn the battle around.

And remember to SAVE often. You can do it wherever you want so do it. This kind of retro game doesn't have autosave so you're not cheating when you do that.';

Playing it now. I like the art style and music, gameplay is serviceable, world building has been good so far. The writing is a mixed bag.
First, you really need to take a pass through for grammatical errors. They're frequent and stand out like a sore thumb in contrast to the Victorian propriety the game leans into. Second, the tone is inconsistent, and the changes are jarring. In one scene you're describing the horrors of the world and in the next the MC is saying "not gonna lie". You can do levity while keeping it high and tight.

I like it so far but there's some real low hanging fruit for you to improve with.';

'>>3477225
besides the change in tone, what's the problem with these sentences? "not gonna lie" is a colloquial expression, but is not really bad written if the character it's in an informal situation';

'>>3477494
Teached instead of taught, going to get wack instead of wacked. Unabated I guess you could make an argument for but it's an awkward choice compared to something line undeterred or unperturbed.

The tone is admittedly my preference, but switching from describing a moribund hellscape in gothic fashion to seeing modern day teen colloquialisms 30 seconds later clashed hard for me.';

'>>3477538
likely the wording here and there is going to be changed/improved in the future since the game has already received a number of updates and according to last devlog a new chapter set in a victorian city it's on the way
>but switching from describing a moribund hellscape in gothic fashion to seeing modern day teen colloquialisms 30 seconds later clashed hard for me.
I have the feeling the dev adds those scenes as a way to keep the tone of the story light as a counterbalance to the grittier parts, similar when in anime characters start acting silly amidst serious scenes like pic-related
but judging on the few advances of the next update I think the tone of the story will incline itself to be somber and darker';

It's a way of speaking, anon. Surely you agree that writing down "real vampire which fulfils the pure expression of the Byronic ideal", isn't very appealing even to people who like the genre, and comes off rather pretentious.
>so went with generic "Europe", eh?
You should play the game, it has a specific historical location. Too specific, maybe, since the game would benefit from being located in a broader and more vague European setting, given that's more digestible for the average player.';

'>>3479597
That's easy.
- Bloodlines is a 20 years old game, everyone who wanted to play it has already played it.
- The studio that made Bloodlines, Troika, is dead and all its former members joined other big companies that are producing nothing but slop unrelated to the vampire genre.
- The current owner of the IP, Paradox, is doing everything in its hands to kill the IP for good.
- There's no new content, updates or continuations being made except for the Bloodlines 2 fiasco, which has undergone so many changes and cancellations that the probabilities of it being decent are in negative numbers, let alone good. Current developer transformed it into a movie game that is getting dislike bombed even on Reddit and in every new Youtube video.
- The publisher has destroyed their own world and lore, vampire themes were replaced by owning the patriarchy.
- The dev has gone woke (Rudi meme.)
Meanwhile this game:
- Was made completely new from scratch by one autist.
- Has already received new content and updates.
- The dev is making a second part in a cool gothic city.
- The lore is just starting but it looks promising with actual gothic and vampire themes, demons, lovecraftian creatures, and insane cults.
- European-inspired setting which uses mythological and religious folklore and history as reference, perfect ingredients for an interesting fantasy world.
- Characters are cool. Girls are cute but interesting, and the main character is mysterious and aggressive.
- Is not pozzed.

Basically this game has all the potential necessary to be an excellent vampire game. While Bloodlines is dead in the water.';

'>>3482503
They definitely can. There are a good number of horror games that have them. But these tend to be simpler without combat, and things like Bloodlines had designated Sound Designers like Rik Schaffer. This game has different music for combat and overworld, so it's a matter of the dev getting its shit together before adding more special effects.
>and engine doesn't really let you create dialogue trees.
It has dialog options, although simplified. You can get different responses from characters depending on what you do, like finding special items or completing tasks. Also all of them give new dialogs as the story moves on making the world feel alive.';
