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.

#GJAsks what game do I wish I could for the first time again?

The pictures are my list. That's all.

Sleepy goober.

Oh boy I sure do love mindlessly putting 3-4 plugin commands in-between every line of text while listening to breakcore!

And just like that—the owner himself of the community won the #RMjam700, congratulations to @LUKELCS for the most votes for all categories from the event!

Oh yeah, I should post something so people don't think I'm dead.

Enjoy a shop teaser or something.

I do not know, but is it something like a spoiler?

In general, animations.

"The Flipside" is a story driven JRPG about a girl falling into another world.

I've talked a little bit about this one but thought I'd get it officially revealed.

Oh yeah! This is also a Q&A for the game!
