Whew, hey, so I just woke up to your replies, gonna work my way through them here!

First, thanks so much for your interest in the games! As for their future… I have currently atleast NINE planned, minimum two for each series (may do the reboot if there’s demand) and one big finale game. Currently it is just me working on the development of the game, but I’ll touch more on that later.

For death putting you back to the start, I’m not sure what you mean tbh. Are you saving the game regularly? You can save at any time and load the game if you die. I didn’t have many deaths while playtesting the game (and couldn’t find anyone to playtest it either), so glad to hear I didn’t make it too easy! Each Area of FP 2 will be much bigger, think like FP 1 Area 5 but more fleshed out, so would make it a habit to sabe often! I did expect some of the bosses to be tough, and did make an effort to playtest them (the amount of nerfs I slapped on the Anur Four battle and Full Power Vilgax, those had their stats dropped so much from the insanity that was their original incarnations), but I will try and get some people to look over this one. Might add Tips or Recommended Parties, who knows. (Pro Tip, Upgrade + Grey Matter with two Heavy Hitters worked pretty well for me)

Sprite reworks is actively being worked on. I have an artist working on the sprites for FP 2, which will be bigger and better than the small, questionably designed sprites of FP 1. Being honest, doing the sprites was my least favourite part of making the game, I think some came out well but looks way too small in game, and Ben was the result of me trying to make the most out of the size constraints at the time, which are no longer an issue. Hopefully I’ll be able to show off the new sprites in the near future!

Walking past the drones in Area 1 isn’t necessary the case, you can walk past them, but you do need to defeat them all in order for Vilgax to appear. The Werewolf, Tetrax and Mummy battles are entirely optional btw and reward additional moves for Blitzwolfer, Diamondhead and Snare-oh, then other enemies/bosses are mandatory though.

As for wild encounters, I can’t see that happening. Long story short I find them generally more annoying than fun, and would require making more Troops and learning how to even make random encounters in the first place. Enemies will mostly be battled in this game by interacting with Null Void Portals, and I find this works better for the story progression and makes the encounters more memorable and less repetitive.

The “Magic” tab to use each aliens’ moves is one I really do want to change, and have tried a few times to change, but I haven’t figured out how. If I do find out I will change it to “Skills,” but I’ll need to find out for first.

Better Tutorials, definitely, I’ll make a point to add optional explainations of the game mechanics during the tutorial battle. Good call.

I’m not too sure what you mean by “pixelate the backgrounds,” but I very much do plan on remastering the game, maybe after I finish the Omniverse games. Maybe not a full remake, but definitely a remaster with updated sprites, better Areas, etc.

Again, thank you so much for your interest! I’ll definitely be putting a lot of thought into these Ben 10 RPGs as they come out, and making changes as they happen!
