ToA: Seasons Of The Wolf (RPG/all combos)

#1 Post by jack_norton »

I'm proud to announce that I've FINALLY finished my new RPG!

Game page: http://winterwolves.com/seasonsofthewolf.htm

Download links:
http://www.winterwolves.com/download.ph ... -1.0.5.exe (Windows)
http://www.winterwolves.com/download.ph ... -1.0.5.zip (Mac)
http://www.winterwolves.com/download.ph ... .5.tar.bz2 (Linux)

Screenshots:

Official Trailers:



Quick description:
- Fantasy RPG set in the world of Aravorn, like Loren The Amazon Princess
- Play as male (Shea) or female (Althea)
- Four characters to romance: Krimm, Riley, Jariel or Chalassa
- 8 unique party members each one with different skills
- Advanced isometric tileset maps for a bigger world to explore

It's the biggest game I've ever made and probably one of the most big/complex ever done with Ren'Py :lol: next one will be smaller!!

Please Note: This game is definitely a "real RPG", which means much harder than Loren (which was more a visual novel than a RPG!) so those who aren't familiar should play it in Easy mode :wink:

Another awesome game from WW :D, continually getting better & better.

My only major critique gameplay wise is that Deceit felt cheap due to his heal+cure all status effects skill that had a low mana cost. I played on hard for all of the rest of the game, but had to change it to easy for that fight. Even if he's supposed to be that hard, his ultimate skill shouldn't be a low mana cost massive heal+cure all status effects but rather some sort of mental attack considering his backstory.

Storywise, nothing really stood out to me too much negatively. I wish the surprise involving Althea and Shea at the end had more focus in the overall story, but if you plan on making a DLC/Sequel of SotW sometime, it's understandable.

The quality of this game is clearly high and I really am enjoying it so far. A rich storyline and fun game play, this was WELL worth the money spent.

Side note: there is a fairly obvious mistake in the part where you address the chapter. Its even on the game's promotional page where the bad guy (cant remember his name) is talking and says:

"famous last words, chapter seven: He's only one man! He can't harm us.:"
I assume the chapter seven part should be out, right?

Anyways, the amount of fun game play and diverse and interesting enemies is tremendous. HIGHLY recommended.

Other spoiler-ish thoughts
While I loved the journey and rich fantasy world, I couldn't help but feel as though the first acts were stronger than the latter. The ending itself (I finished one play through so far) kind of threw me off with the conclusion (fairly anti-climatic in a sense) and it may have been due to my need to grind, but I felt like I spent more time on side quests towards the end rather than a main focused mission. I loved the diverse enemies and battles though, it made the world really come to life and the game play was the kind that could keep you busy for ages.

Thanks for the nice words :) the game indeed is doing very well and everyone praised the combat system. At least all those long 10 months were worth it! :D
About the ending we're planning a DLC (which won't be out sooner than next Summer) which will happen after the end of the story (but of course before the "endings" with each romance) set in Ninim which should be focused more on plot/intrigue/developing existing romances. Also combat, but in a smaller part since there's already plenty of it in the main game!

Glad to hear. I enjoy RPGs, and yours is definitely a quality one - but the primary reason I enjoyed your game was the plot and romance. Can't wait to get more Althea/Chalassa and more details on Althea/Shea's situation.

Nope. That's the sound of the fourth wall breaking. ^_^
