OH. i thought this just looked like a cute little game, THIS information however, has firmly grabbed my attention, since Dark Cloud is one of my favorite games.
Having a weird issue where the game will launch on my vertical monitor. And even when that is now disconnected, the game is still launching in that weird aspect ratio
I apologize for any technical issues that may arise from trying the game out! I've seen some other weirdness in the game with others based on their set ups, but there's not much I can do on my end to fix anything. I'm just the artist, I really don't know how to fix any in-game bugs or software-related issues and there's no more programmers on the project, it's just me now. Still I hope it works well enough for you to have some fun in it!
Finally played and what's here feels really promising. The art is so pretty that i had a great time just walking around admiring it. Flying was pretty fun too! Definitely hope you can go further with it eventually. Got a fan here.
i managed to get 360 coins but in the cave dungeon on attempting to exit i instead fell to the bottom of an external level box and was unable to continue. i also had a bug where my kick stopped working, but swapping it out fixed it. the character designs are looking nice though and the little animations for when you talk to eureka look great, but i'm not left with a strong impression of what makes the game unique or what concept is being proven. the flight is very simple and just sort of ends up being a traversal tool and the combat is too early to get an impression of what it might feel like in a final build. i also would've loved anything that gave just a feeling of what rodeo's characterization is like, but maybe it's still too early for that. i don't mean to be harsh but i'd love to see ya'll succeed so i feel it's best to just be honest. i'm sure ya'll will work it into shape and i'll be keeping a close eye on it!
It's no worries! Yeah I'm aware the prototype is pretty scuffed. Unfortunately I lost my main programmer a few years ago and I don't know how to program, so I had to put together something playable with what was left in the build so it at least doesn't go to waste. Even with the help of a couple other programmers, it was hard to really replace or append onto the existing code. I would need to get a new programmer who is willing to start the project's code from scratch at this point, it would be easier on them that way.
If you collect all 500 coins and talk to Eureka, there will be a nice reward cutscene that gives a little bit more of a feel for what I actually wanted for the game. After enough time I will be posting the cutscene to Youtube as well!
it’s awesome that you took up the reigns and tried to whip it together still, that really takes some dedication. i will try again on collecting all of the coins because i’d like to see the cutscene. i am wishing you all the luck on your search for a new permanent programmer, i am sure with you leading this it will eventually turn into something really amazing.

No worries at all! I did get the chance to play and it's got good bones to it
