Othercell - An indie, old-school, turn-based RPG

[Alieno Hat]

Hello, RPG Codex. I'm new here! I'm an indie developer who has been working on Othercell for quite some time. Now that the game has a demo, I wanted people to try and to know their opinions. I heard this was a good place to let people know about it and that you give good judgement, so here I am.

Othercell is an old-school, turn-based RPG where you can make your enemies join your group by "linking" with them. That allows you to make stronger teams needed to defeat tougher foes. Each ally comes with their own stats and skills, but you should be careful as many of them have weaknesses to certain elements, and some enemies will notice that.
The game focuses a lot on story and character relationships too, so if you're into older RPGs with lots of dialogue and cutscenes, then this game might be for you.

Now, I'm not gonna go too deep into the game as I'd like you guys to try it yourselves, so I'll just leave a few links to the game's pages so you can download it. The demo is currently only available on Windows.

(If you're planning on playing, make sure you pay attention to the yellow messages in the game as they provide useful information on how to play. ALSO I'M SO SORRY IF SOME DIALOGUE SEEMS A BIT AKWARD, MY ENGLISH IS STILL NOT TOO GREAT LMAO)

This is my first serious project, and one day, if it gets popular enough, I'd like to start a Kickstarter campaign for it, so it can become a full thing(it'd be biiiig). I'll be very busy with work soon, and I'll need to help my siblings, so things will go slow for the game and if there are bugs I might not be able to fix them immediatly, but I'll sure as hell be listening to your feedback!

And if you feel like it, you could share the game with whoever you want, it really helps me! Thanks for reading!

Do I have to respect wahman to enjoy this game?

 

[Alieno Hat]

Only one way to find out.

Please change the font for Combat Screen/HP&SP line to something more legible, like those used in Party Screen.

 

[Alieno Hat]

Huh. Never had a problem with it, but I can see why others would. I'll try to fix it as soon as I can. Thank you!

Maybe you should be a bit more consistent with the graphics style (pixel art/hi-res, fonts, etc...), but I should see it in action to judge better...

 

[Alieno Hat]

Yeah, others said the same, but they didn't seem to have an issue with it after playing!

Those dialog faces are a huge turn-off

 

[Alieno Hat]

Could elaborate on that? I'm trying to make it as good as I can!

First off, they clash hardcore with the way everything else looks. Secondly they look....generic.....at best. Then again I fucking hate that style so there's that.
