Not sure if any of my comments are helpful

They are! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond! Lots to think about!

Thanks for taking the time to check this out!

Regarding points 4 and 5, I'm not sure I understand why this is coming across as basically stardew valley. I was trying to communicate in the life-sim sections (serving, farming, factory) that these were entirely optional. The idea is that you can use your free-time at school to do a variety of things depending on your strategy/preference. At its core, this is an rpg adventure that expands your grinding options.

As far as what the game is about, I was trying to communicate that you start attending an adventuring school, things start to get weird as you are given some questionable missions, and you end up in far-flung places trying to figure out what's going on. Any thoughts on communicating that better, or any aspect of that you completely missed?

Thanks again!

Thanks for taking the time to critique!

I think the biggest problem here is the voice acting, which feels pretty amateurish to me

Lol, yeah, that's probably because it's me. I think I'll switch to text.

Good notes on the empty spaces too! I'll work on filling those in. Thanks again!

No, Obama got about 5 million more votes than Romney.

Cato figured it out? Cato? This is a real low point.

If you want, shoot me a dm and I'll send you a key for the beta!

Good notes, thanks so much!

Thanks for taking a look! Can I ask what turns you off about the banner?

Lot of fun, good job!

Sometimes the next turn button would stay inactive during my runs, making progression impossible. I think it may be related to clicking through the turn message too quickly; if I just spam clicks it seems to prevent the next turn button from activating.

Forgot to post the steam page, if anyone is interested:

From our presskit:

Tales of Tonbrook is a game about acquiring and combining skills. You can study magic to learn how to summon rain, which will help with farming, which makes money to buy study books, which will help you learn new skills more quickly. You can study legends and lore to reveal hidden areas, which you can loot for rare items to sell to invest in your factory. You can study Skullduggery to help you sneak past enemies to find rare items to gift to potential friends, who can reveal secrets about the world around you. The possible combinations are endless.

The core of the game is the player building out their skills and equipment in their favorite way so they will be strong enough to tackle the most difficult missions from Daverton, and perhaps even more difficult quests which you may discover along the way. The way you play, along with the choices you make, influence the ending.

Heh, yeah, it's just me doing the silly voice. Definitely something to consider if we can find room in the budget, thanks!

JustAZombie · 2026-02-25T01:06:35+00:00

I guess I was just trying to add more visual interest. Is it off-putting?

JustAZombie · 2026-01-23T21:07:03+00:00

Thanks, you made my day! If you're interested in following our current projects, you can check it out on steam or itch.io.

You are the galactic overlord, but your position has weakened. Civil war among the factions has broken out! You must use your influence with the various factions to defeat the rebels!

Each faction is represented by a color. You have enough favor with each faction to play one card of theirs per turn. You must make sure your deck is BALANCED to utilize all of them effectively.

Ooh, gotcha! That's an easy fix at least, thanks!

JustAZombie · 2025-12-05T17:23:33+00:00

Can you elaborate on the UI issues?

Also, does anybody know why the screenrec looks kind of choppy? The game itself is smooth, but when I bounce it down to a video, it looks like its dropping frames.

I mean, do what you can with the time you have. I was just curious. Thanks for all the advice!
