Bought this on Steam. Apparently Steam version doesn't come with the rom. I don't suppose there is anyway I could get a code to get it here so I could play it on a handheld?
Happy to help, thanks for playing. DM me your email and I'll send you something. Can you help me out and post a nice video review telling your viewers why you enjoy the game?
Goodness this is going to sound silly. I dont think I'm able to DM you here. Is there a discord I can hit you up at?
unfortunately no discord, and I'm not active on social media. if you leave your email in a comment here I'll reach out (and you can then delete the comment with your email in it).
[[redacted]] Thanks!
email sent. enjoy.
I played your game on my channel
Great review, thx for taking the time to play. It looks like you were playing an older build, the newer version has some updates for your comments.
Have jotted down all your play test notes. We're about to dig back into the code to add more dragons to the mix and update some bugs / UI issues. Would love to circle back with a completed game for another review!
Thx again for playing.
cool. Once you've updated it let me know and I'll play it again on my channel.
Hi Xanderwood - circling back. The game is polished & has been released into the wild!
Free-to-play on itch (here), also a PC build available on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1887570/Dragon_Battle/). The art assets are on OpenGameArt (https://opengameart.org/content/4-color-8-bit-dragons).
Would you consider doing another stream? I'd love to see your thoughts.
Very nice. Reminds me of the Sword of Hope series.
This has a lot of potential - I like the feeling of randomness in text and actions...kind of "unexpected"...but it's the usual flow of a common RPG...buy, sell...
Very good work.
Thx for the feedback. We just posted a build that should help make the game experience more fun / early dragons easier to defeat. Ongoing updates as we continue development, send notes/feedback any time.
Thx again for playing & glad you enjoyed.
I found difficulty just right.
The most that bothered me is the long text for some actions...
Like, for the summon...instead of "you don't have this and that, and you can't do it", I'd just skip showing that option to the player.
It's best if you keep short text - one button tap, instead of two.
But it's just my opinion.
Perhaps in the end of a battle, a long summary would also be nice...
I really enjoyed what I played!
Super charming graphics, sound and gameplay. It's funny that as we get more and more advanced with our graphics and UX, I'm drawn more and more to the nostalgic feel of pixel art and chiptune music. Loved it.
Awesome, thx for the kind words. More updates coming soon.
Hey! I played your game and here is the link to it!:https:https://www.twitch.tv/videos/774835143?t=00h38m39s
Hope the feedback helped! And yes, please let me know how the feedback session was! I would be more than happy to hear your thoughts about! Cheers, Good Work! And Happy Game Dev! :D
Really great feedback, thx for taking the time to play. Yes, we're still working out some game mechanics the next update will fix some errors -- especially the dragon healing problem -- which will help with the boring issue & make the combat more exciting.
We're still actively developing this & future updates will include more dragons as well.
Will certainly let you know when The Janayana is ready for review / initial release. In the meantime, would love to get your review of a Dragon Battle update that fixes the repetitive / boring issue.
Thx again for taking the time to play & giving great feedback.
Hey! Thank you! Yes would definitely love to test it out again and give it another go! Thank you again for the kind words!
Alright, have been waiting to respond to this until some major updates were done. Have posted several builds to polish UI issues and incorporate feedback from early play testers.
New build is running, would love to get your feedback.
Note: there are more updates to come to add more dragons to the combat mix! Right now we're getting the core game & initial dragon solid & as fun as possible within the framework of the 8 bit, retro-narrative-style game. Stay tuned for more dragon updates.
Thx again for playing & taking the time to review. Looking forward to your next play test.
