Shattered World: Beneath A Stone Sky

Good looking game but sloppy controls. More explaination to battle would be helpful. Found the battle stuff confusing.

i wish i could give better thoughts but i lost my game save and don't wish to start over. but in enjoyed this experience overall.
it is a shame this is still marked as early access. if possible. i'd like you to come back and finish this. you did a good job and this deserved more attention than it got!

The good
The visuals are good. i can easily tell the difference between units and characters

being able to replay levels!

the convert enemy to ally feature! (and throwing :3)

you can remove characters from battle to avoid death!

can decide who you want to act and when! rather than it go by turns!

The bad
one thing that might turn people away from this experience is the abilities. the way you learn them,the limitations of needing to have the weapon equipped and the amount of time to learn a decent amount of skills.
until then you're left with limited options for what to do. of course this also means the you might (i'm not certain) not even have skills available to certain characters. to give uniqueness to them.

there is also a lack of story for my taste, too limited to get attached to characters.

the ability to replay levels is great. but unpleasant when that option gets taken away.

not a fan of levels going over 100 (it would be nice if these higher ;eve; enemies also had nicer gear you could steal)

Issues
when you clear one of the arena stages. it still said "New!"

Played this game back then--had fun, now that I've came back to this game this year--I managed to complete all the chapters up to last stand and despite this, it's pretty fun! (I love the fact that I can make my white mage strong physically and beat up enemies with her sword)

A question: Is there any more chapters after last stand or is that it?

I'm kind of sad that Shattered World won't ever be completed (Unless there's a VERY small hope spot in that game) but I guess I'm fine with the way it is now.

Can't wait for Daemon Detective though, keep up the good work! [and make sure to take breaks in between if you feel pressured]

Um im stuck on the start screen, ive pressed every key and nothing's happening, help!

Downloaded this from the old Gamemaker website long ago. Somehow it got lost somewhere on my PC and I found it the other day. Started playing it and enjoyed it thoroughly.

I heard you mention that it was written in GM8. I've converted a lot of my own projects from GM8 to GMS. Other then execute_string() and the dialog boxes the other incompatibilities are easy to fix. You should consider moving this over to GMS. Then maybe you could port it Android. :D Because there are only a few controls I think it willwork well on a touch screen. Sorry for the long comment, just thought I would add my 2 cents.
