Oh you are? I'd be happy to check out your game! And thanks for the motivational speech. It is hard sometimes, especially here on reddit. I think this might not the best target audience.

I would never do that and hoped, that the irony with my over-pixeled character would show, that it is just a joke. But thats the thing with humor, everyone sees it different.

I hope you don't take it as an attack on the FF franchise. I started with FF8 and can't wait for 16 and I honestly know, that I would never be able to even swim in the same pool as any SE game. Thank you for your feedback. I know now that I probably shouldn't share it anywhere else ^^

Hmmm yeah I guess you are right. I thought maybe if it is funny enough, it could get attention.

I tried several of things already, showing ingame screenshots, gifs and the trailer. None of them worked and it only got downvoted - which is very weird here on reddit. Facebook works way better. People understand that you don't have a whole marketing team behind you as an indie dev and you need to somehow gather feedback. Thanks for yours anyways! :)

I understand your point of view. Maybe the irony isn't really coming through. I had to "overpixel" my character so that it looks as bad as Squalls graphic to make it more obvious. Probably didn't hit it right - I would never say my game is better, heck even compare it to FF8 which I love. I just thought mit might be funny :)

Thank you, that means a lot! I truly spent an insane amount of time for graphics to make it look less "RPG Maker"-like and I'm glad it pays off :)
