Great work to all the artists! I also appreciate the effort made to make it a cohesive-appearing image. Is it procedural in how it handles the image placement, like is it random for everyone? I just ask because I notice some of the pieces will bleed into each other and I can't tell if the images are manually blended to look that way or if there's some programming wizardry going on.

Cool stuff regardless!

Won't spoil the whole process, but everything was blended manually by the artists involved.

Hey hey! I see you're getting some really harsh feedback on this *cough*jonathan00*cough* but don't worry, it's not that bad. This isn't trash at all.

In fact it's far from it! I can see you put a lot of effort and work into this, and it shows. It's a beautiful package that just has some minor quirks that should be ironed out. For me these are the things that need to be worked on a little bit more to make a more enjoyable play through.

I think that the movement is nice at first, however the jumping feels off. The very first gap you encounter with the enemy floating in the middle was very difficult to pull off because my natural instinct was to jump at the ledge and the jump would land me either on top of the enemies head or the opposite ledge. It didn't really do either, I kind of fell in between that ledge and the enemy. It was a really strange thing to get used to and trying to figure out where and how to jump to land on the enemies head wasn't intuitive so it made it feel more difficult than it should have. If there's a mechanic with the sword that would glide you across, I think removing the option to bounce on the enemies head would benefit getting that point across. :)

Aside with the moving, attacking causing the player to jut forward slightly is also a little cumbersome in terms of movement, especially when you're landing from a jump and attacking an enemy near a ledge. I'd find myself jumping towards an enemy, then as I'm landing I'd swing my sword, and by doing so I'd land myself right in the gap and die. However I think the mechanic is pretty enjoyable once you get the hang of it, it really gives you a feeling of momentum, like you're an unstoppable force. My suggestion here would be to allow some kind of saving jump (where if you slide off, you can jump once mid-air to perhaps bounce back on) or a way to cancel the movement forward by tapping the opposite direction.

The audio buttons don't work as intended, as turning down the music with the button doesn't do anything, and the sound effect button I'm not sure if it works, so it'd be cool if you had a sound effect play as you press the button, so you can hear the actual audio difference in each press (the music wouldn't need this as it's already playing).

I really like how there seems to be a plethora of quests to do for these people, and it the bits of text that accompany them are really fun.

As many have stated, the visuals here are a real treat, it's super pretty looking!

I played up until I had to restart, and like others have mentioned, the game becomes super sluggish and I was unable to continue playing because of that.

I do want to mention that I believe in this project, greatly, I think it has the potential to be a really big game. I want to see it succeed, because I think it has the right mix of things in order to do so, the ingredients just need a little bit more tweaking. :D

Ahhhhhhmazing stuff.

Great work to everyone. :D And w00t for having a medal...

JKAmovies responds:

Haha, you will sooner or later ;D

Glad you liked it, thanks :)

[Madness Accelerant]

Whoah epic.

Hard ass game, that's for sure. But I love it. :3

The kitty meow part with tricky made me laugh my ass off. xD

And HELLA HUGE THANKS for making a 3rd of the fanart pictures mine, rofl. I was NOT expecting that... Are they gonna stay there... forever and ever??

<3

TomFulp responds:

Thanks!!! And yup, the gallery is PERMANENT!

[Notepad Drawing Collab 09]

Meep! Great job JKA! Awesome collab!

That Rhunyc guy though... He sure is freaky. And stupid.

:P

Loved it though. Not a medal whore, so I didn't even know about the glitches. :P :D So, in my eyes it was pretty excellent. Great work! Fun to look through all the great art styles.

My only complaint is that to see the artists info, you had to go to the top, instead of it being right next to the "next" button. Seemed kinda outta the way to me, but nothing TOO terribly bad! :) Everything else shines bright!

10/10'd 5/5'd!

JKAmovies responds:

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the final result.

[The Monster Art Collab]

Haha sweet!

Very good stuff in here! I'll see if I can add you so you can add me under "Additional Art" as well. :)

I'm thinking the long story complaints go to me. :D Oh well.

I liked the chapters idea and the music you gave it, it all works really well! Two thumbs up. :)

And the "MS-Paint type" submissions with the humorous descriptions, I thought, were a nice add-in. They lightened the mood and make it entertaining (compared to uber serious ones like mine, lol). :D

d-z responds:

Of course, looking forward to working with you again in the future :-)

[NG Poster Collab]

Score. :)

Very well done guys. Grats! :D
