☩ On Garde ☩

I think the aesthetic and vibe you guys have is pretty cool. I love the pallette of the world and the types of enemies it deals with, it's cool.
I think the way that days work is a really cool set up, having each day be a distinct event is a neat way to structure the map and I liked it. I also found myself endeared to some of the characters, and the cutscenes were really neat. The technical script work behind all of these mechanics was very impressive, things I didn't think would be attempted or done with CustomNPCs.

I did turn off the voices, as I am pretty sure they're AI.




I did think this map was kind of difficult, and to be honest, I haven't finished it. I quit during the part where the guy opens up the tunnel behind your house. I'm not sure if I missed some important items, or if I am just a bad gamer,, but I don't have any armor and die super quickly, that it kind of became my dominant strategy to just run around the side to avoid all the enemies, and use the scarlet blades right click to deal with anything. I feel like it's weird that I don't have any armor yet, like I must have missed something.

I also think you have some jank that you should work out. That vine mechanic is so finnicky, it feels almost random when it works, and when it does I am surprised and not ready for it and end up falling off. It really needs to be made so much easier to do, or just gotten rid of and replaced with like, ladders.

I also had some sound and volume issues. Scarlet Blades attack is so loud, and its cutting itself off. The priest in that one tower's attack is also super loud.

I think the maps script work is impressive, and I really want to know more about this world and think its interesting. I just find that the combat is pretty unforgiving, and I am not sure what to do to get better at it.

I seem to be unable to climb mid air vines? I just reached Minami outside the Catacombs and I can't ascend the tower due to the vines portion.



Also, the small tower in the village with the vines, despite the sign saying to use space, it won't let me climb those vines either, just passes through them.



Update: I scaled the mountain and found a way up to the top.

Hi! I think I might be stuck near the end of the map. I defeated the demon boss at the gate to the tower, but I can't open the final castle gate thingy. The gate keeps telling me "Where bones rest."

Is there supposed to be a key item or weapon that drops from the boss, or is there another objective I'm supposed to complete before returning to the gate? I just want to make sure I didn't miss something.

Thanks!
