Reviews for Chronicle Bulletin #4

[Verdusk]

Another great episode!
Regarding the new format:
+ Allows players to move and explore, offering greater control
+ Search feature is interesting
- Game's pictures become less dynamic as the standing sprites keep getting used over and over again - It may save you a lot of time and effort, but it becomes less anime-like and less dynamic, as in the previous games we get to see how each scenes go instead of standing sprites except in important scenes. (Yes I know pictures also get reused in the previous format, but less so) I really prefer the previous format myself but I figured you may be trying to give each series different format to make them more distinct.

Good selection of music, and story is great. I'll look forward to more!

JackAstral responds:

Thanks!

That was one of my biggest concerns when I changed format - I'll definitely try to find more of a middle ground between standing sprites scenes and dynamic scenes in the next episode. :)

It's different than the previous games you made before and I like it! ...but oh crude the Chronicle Bulletin club members are going to get in big trouble with their principle... I can't wait what happens next!!! I caught a grammar mistake by the way at the part when Una tells Atom to chill but told him to "shill" instead lol.

JackAstral responds:

Thanks!

Shill in this context actually means someone lying about their opinion to spread a misconception. Una calls Atom a shill in the first episode as well lol

I have the story all planned out for episode 5 now - it's going to be really cool I think :)

First person storyline. It could be better, since a lot of things made it a bit confusing. I guess you were trying to mix a bit between your classical third person view and first person one, they just don't blend.

JackAstral responds:

Sure, I'll try to mix them together a little better in the next episode. Maybe I just need to blend more third person frames - thanks for playing !

JackAstral responds:

Thanks!

I have to admit that I was turned off by how different this was. I'm not used to straight RPGs from you. I don't want to be biased, however. I think this was an entertaining game in its own right. I don't seem to recall the other games. It is kind of unique.

The music is really nice. It's always great when people have a lot of songs in their submissions. I don't know if there was a hidden astronaut token. I'm not doing well with medals today. Love the atmosphere, though.

JackAstral responds:

Thanks for playing!

I'm not gonna include golden astronaunt tokens anymore, just because I think they were kinda pointless

The stuff I make tells stories, so I only want people who are interested in the stories to be playing my stuff :B
