Dear RPG Maker devs of GameJolt, I possess a question.

(Sorry if I explained horribly I tried my best.)


So, as most of you know I am developing Lucid. I won't go into details but here is a chart:

lucid_level_chart.png

This is the level chart for Lucid.

A first section of the area (in this case, the Fungal Forest.)

the halfway/resting area. (a town or the like. able to give the player a place to heal, save and restock on items.)

the second section of the Fungal forest (where more story beats and a small puzzle mechanic is added)

a dungeon. (in this case, The Temple of Realms.)


So i need to ask YOU something.

How many maps/rooms should the first half, and second half be?

(example; 5 maps/rooms for first half, 5 maps/rooms for the second half.)

also the dungeon doesn't matter.


I ask because I worry about length. i don't wanna overwhelm or underwhelm the player and this is difficult to balance on my own. i was thinking 5 maps/rooms for first half, and maybe 6-7 for the second half because i have a story beat and 'puzzle' planned.

Some stupid Flipside art I just made.

Fixed her up a bit, second image is the original drawing.

Oh whoops I disappeared for a month again.

Have a random dump of some images I found amusing.

While I was busy with my personal life, I've been trying to figure out the aesthetic of this game and since the hourly soundtrack is made in Microsoft Music Producer (an old Windows 98 program) I've decided to make the UI retro stuff inspired :) - Martin

I don't know if anyone really cares, but The Flipside just passed a big milestone!

The entire game's summary has been complete!
