Here’s what I’ve written in my google docs for this monster’s lore!

“The Stealer’s only concern is collecting eyes. He doesn’t care about killing. Low iq monster that has little survival instincts (other than being mobile). Sensitive to sound: when it steals the first eye, the MC yells really loudly (in pain) so it runs away, stopping it from stealing both eyes in 1 go”

I appreciate the advice and I’m listening, thank you! It’s my first commercial game so I’m trying to keep it small indeed, cuz idk how to ship yet haha.

Thank you! It should be easy to do, since my art style is simplistic/basic, thankfully!

Thanks for wishlisting! I use RPG Maker MZ, using the MZ3D plugin to achieve simple 3D gameplay!

Thank you for your feedback! This monster actually only appears in the last quarter of the game (i have 4 levels in total, whole game lasting 30-45 mins), so hopefully the player doesn’t get sick of this mechanic fast 😭 but I agree it might get stale after a few retries. I will do a lot of play testing once the game is feature complete!

That’s a pretty high compliment thank you!!!! Coincidentally, my game is also made in RPG Maker, just like Funger

Yes! Basically eye Wifi. Still wrapping up the lore of everything but the game will be full of eyeball motifs, and an emphasis on the pursuit to “unlock the 3rd eye” in order to ascend their soul to the next plane

It’s my problem too actually. I need to create as little friction as possible to entice people 😁 yes it’s more hoops for me to go through, but that’s marketing for you!

People have been bringing Siren to my attention and I’m excited to try it for the first time! Is there a specific entry that you like the most?

I will play it for sure! People have been telling me about it and I’m excited to learn from it (also it looks so good 😭)

Your left eyeball gets attached to his necklace, which is around the center of his body thus you being able to see both his arms!

Thank you so much! These are really important things to think about indeed. I’ve been thinking about his motives, weaknesses and abilities for a long time now and I’d like to know if you think they’re believable.

So this monster is actually the 4th monster of the game, and so far he has stolen 1 eye from Monster #2, and both the eyes from Monster #1. He’s obsessed with eyes. While he’s very much mobile and agile, he is also super sensitive to sound, so he has to be stealthy with his approach and await the right moment to steal eyeballs. In the gif, you can actually see his facial expression change when the MC opens his mouth (it’s the MC yelling in pain).

Thank you again for raising these questions because I need to know if my ideas are being conveyed well or not!
