The Seventh Warrior

Finished the demo! Like I said earlier, its really good, I like the characters and the combat is very satisfying. All around really good

I feel sometimes the visuals kinda get in the way of the game sometimes. The maps are pretty, but a big chunk is solid objects that will block navigation. The forest I understand, make navigation a puzzle.

Honestly my complaints mostly apply to the Farm Estate. I jump in the water and the 3 solid objects in that pond end up blocking my way out when theyre just there for detail.

Also got stuck there until i finally noticed the Barn door guide arrow, which was frustrating because every other door was shown through the level design so i didnt even use the arrows much.

But I only point all this out cuz its the one frustration in a very well made experience. Again the battles, characters, music, all very fun. I am absolutely going to keep track of you all and where this project goes. Wish you best of luck!

Loving the demo! Music and spritework is really cool, wasnt expecting to like the characters as much as I have, cuz im the kinda person that likes always playing the shining knight in contrary to the dedication hehe

I'm not quite finished just yet, but wanted to leave a comment now before I forgot.

Looooove the Breath of Fire isometric battle camera, and the battles themselves are real fun!

I do hope whatever party members are planned include some more non-human folk to fit the whole demon lord thing, but I just like non-human party members lol

Ran into a bug where I was at the bandit commander bossfight and Yoko's Limit Break crashed the game with an error about how it couldn't find the file or something, not sure on the specific phrasing. My second attempt let her use it without issue though

Overall wishing you the best with development, this is rad! Get back to ya once ive finished the demo

a very "breath of fire" vibe from battle screens. good stuff. 

This game is so damn good, it has so much attention to detail, the plot is interesting, the mechanics and animations too! All the NPCs have dialogues and we can read their thoughts. Although I was kind of weirded out that the MC has wings and never flew even though he needed it, so I loved the final battle while he was flying! 

I also loved the prologue of the game, and all that mysterious and mythical atmosphere while the credits were rolling.

 Thanks! Is there any stipulation of when the game will be released? I definitely want to buy it!

PS although I would like to be able to save more often! Whenever there are elections I like to choose everything haha. And a guide! so I can complete all the missions and know which missions are available. Thanks again! it was very enjoyable to play this

I played this game on stream as part of a roulette of indie games. I ended up playing it for way longer than the normal 1hr I give for games. I can honestly say that this was a treat in quality for the 2hrs I got into it. I have only the few things to note.

-Controller function should be native. It's good you incorporated something with it to help with mapping the controller to work with it, but it may be better overall to just have the controller natively work with it.

-In the English version, there are moments in the intro/prologue movie where if you are in Windowed version, the words cut off on the edges but this does not happen in Fullscreen. I think this also happens with one or two text boxes during gameplay in Windowed vs Fullscreen.

-No other notes, the rest has been wonderful in regards to sound, graphics, UI and so on. Love the battle system and everything else so far! Definitely looking forward to playing more.

This is a great game and takes me back to the fun times I had playing games.

After reading the comments, I realized that you have been working hard for so long.

Thank you for your hard work! I believe this work will be seen by the whole world!

-Blessings from Asia

amazingly good..thank you for creating this game. can't wait to play the full version ^^

hey i really like the game so far but im stuck at the elven ruin and have tried and searched everything trying to get past, any help would be appreciated

anyone else having the issue where your computer thinks the file is a virus or an untrustworthy file?

What an amazing game! Just one question, could you tell me which battle plugin you used or if you created your own? I’m thinking of making a game like this one day too, but the work must be soon!

Good to see that this has been making progress, but sad to see something significant hasn't come out of it quite yet.
I couldn't work on something like this for 4+ years, so props to you for that.

You can release a somewhat unfinished demo precisely because there isn't a lot of engagement yet, no one dunks on you if they don't know about you. The people that know about this game will only increase, and so will the expectation of how good its gonna be, so its better to let down now when the expectation is low then later when its high.

If you need someone to kick you in the pants about finishing something, here's my two cents.
Mapping: Necessary
Eventing: Necessary
Lighting: Can wait
Enemies: Can wait(unless there's a key boss or enemy from the start missing)
Party-Battlers: Can wait(?)
Voice Acting: Can wait
Battle-backgrounds: Can wait
System programming: Necessary
Features: Can wait

Hope this helps, cya in another two years ;)

Hey, I read your previous update. Let me tell you that your game is awesome. Maybe you think that you failed as game developer, but no. Think that, even after so long, there are people like me who are still captivated by the theme of the game and by how promising it looks. There are people who still willing to play it.

Is there a download link? I don't see one.

So is there going to be a public demo soon

So, is the demo slated to release anytime soon? Or should I not have any hopes? I myself am a perfectionist, so I would try to never release anything (even a demo) that wasn't the best that I could do at the time if I was in the game-making business, but a demo, even an unfinished or severely unpolished one is better than nothing, and it can even help you root out some bugs or less well designed features that you might miss yourself.

this game looks very nice and i would love to play it.

i want to ask if you has the intention of release the demo of this game

This looks really nice :)

I wonder when you will re-release the demo. I am looking forward to try this for the first time.

One question. I downloaded a (demo? early version of full game?) of this a few days ago. I come back to check up on updates, and the downloadable is suddenly gone, and the itch page makes it sound as though none existed so far. Maybe I'm being nitpicky, but I have the former version of the page up in archive.org's Wayback Machine, and it definitely makes it sound like the game was an early version that would get better/more complete, whereas this one makes it sound like you're only in the earliest stages of development. The only indication a demo was ever released is the "Released" status under "More information".  Why would you want to pull a demo (the best sort  of advertisement, at least to people like me) that can show people where the game is and where it could go? It seems to me (based on your increased emphasis on the "Donate" buttons, and the tons of stuff available to Patrons) that you got tired of people not donating, and decided to redo the page in order to make it look like a hot upcoming game, as opposed to a game that was already in an early state, but needed more money to complete. (In certain venues I hang around, the road to prosperity is paved with the bones of partially-completed games that were genuinely good, but that no one cared about.) I just wanna let you know, there are people out there who care about good games. Don't feel too upset about those who only care about flashy new "major" indie games, but don't care about the movement's small roots. I'm afraid I can't donate, but I'm rooting for you all the way!

Please excuse me if I'm reading into this too much, or if it's none of my business. I just thought that you might need a word of encouragement, and ecided to go against my better judgement, which was to ignore. The world of games, even indies, is full of problems, and I'd rather try to help than create more by not caring like many others. Again, I apologize if I am overstepping my boundaries.

Cheerio!
