I'm sure creating those assets took a large chunk of your time, but here's a few things I think could have made the game feel a bit more fun to play:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- UI responsiveness. In other words, things to give the player more feedback on where their mouse is\/is clicking. The buttons to select attacks should have altered graphics when hovered\/pressed. The enemy tiles under the mouse cursor should highlight when they are a valid target.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>- Sound effects. I know you opted out of Audio for judging, so you probably just didn't have time to get to this. However, I feel even some quickly generated sounds from something like sfxr would have helped you in the &quot;game feedback&quot; department.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In closing, I say keep working on it if you're still interested. I like turn based rpgs, and I think your art style alone makes it something I would buy."},{"author_name":"MrLeePerry","author_uid":"30240","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:05am","epoch":1418097600,"text":"Super ambitious, got a lot done!  love the art, the UI work, etc... good job!"},{"author_name":"NoahbroCZ","author_uid":"45415","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:07am","epoch":1418108520,"text":"Nice game, I dont think it is so unfinished, but it would be much better with traditional jrpg music and sounds :). Check my game too: Presidents bodyguard simulator."},{"author_name":"Soron","author_uid":"46840","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:26am","epoch":1418109660,"text":"Very nice graphics :). It's a pretty simple demo, but I'd be interested to see it developed further.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Given the amount of functionality that's present, I think the interface is what's most in need of attention: it's not quite obvious what all the buttons do, and once or twice I thought a character would have a double-turn because I got confused about the difference between the portrait and the turn indicator.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Come to think of it, I also have some SRPG code that is badly in need of art. I, uh... may have to send you an email..."},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 8:06am","epoch":1418112060,"text":"Hi there.  Love your art style and the presentation. Real shame you didn't make the game itself yet.  Excellent so far!"},{"author_name":"rabbit","author_uid":"26967","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 8:41pm","epoch":1418243760,"text":"The art is pretty nice. The characters anyway. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>UI felt sluggish and unresponsive. No indication that I had clicked on, or hovered over anything. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sounds would have been really great."},{"author_name":"crazyrems","author_uid":"26101","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 8:46pm","epoch":1418244060,"text":"I found the game blocked, it's actually the turn of nobody.\r<br\/>Nice graphics. The gameplay is somehow... basic.\r<br\/>The characters are cute. even slimes are nice !"},{"author_name":"DonovanWu","author_uid":"36681","time":"Dec 21, 2014 @ 12:17am","epoch":1419120720,"text":"That is entire game on one screen though.

I killed a dude who was up to attack next, and then it froze *forever*.... The character design for this is great, and I love the Fire Emblem-style attack animations. Given that it's, as you've said, unfinished, I think the only meaningful change you could make is to have the characters slide in slightly faster when the attack animations are starting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I hope you keep going and keep adding some more juice! What you have so far is really cute. Thanks for the demo!"}],"images":["ld31\/13803-229e8acbf04034319343c1293f709ccd.jpg","ld31\/13803-cf548bd264692c7ed05739f1aeef8cea.jpg","ld31\/13803-c18c8b20347cbe57388841b61a32fb52.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.pwnscone.com\/sakuyan\/iJ\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.pwnscone.com\/sakuyan\/iJwin64.7z","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.pwnscone.com\/sakuyan\/iJosx64.7z","text":"OS\/X"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.pwnscone.com\/sakuyan\/iJlinux64.7z","text":"Linux"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.pwnscone.com\/sakuyan\/iJsource.7z","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"13009","g_author":"13803","g_event":"LD31","g_eventkey":"26","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"13039","g_title":"iJ","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"723","g_commentcount":"10","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/13803-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/13803-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/407933\/13803-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"iJ is an unfinished demo but I am quite happy to try something new this LD compo (something other than a pixel platformer)\r\n\r\nThe entire duration of the compo was a disaster but I hope you enjoy the little demo.
