Thread: Help us solve this mistery ;)

In my experience, when I finished the tutorial part and finally got to the main screen I was pretty disappointed. I generally tell how involved or detailed a game is going to be by the menu and options, and frankly there really are none right now. I almost dropped the game looking at the town and the dropdown menu, and I really only stayed because I enjoy the story and art style. The only thing that would really help with this would be adding more content to the town though, which I think you guys are already working on as is.

From the pic you show us an information is missing. In the right upper corner you should have an icon with "Reward : A new quest" basicaly.

This can be a hit, but not enough for most people. There, like for the beginning of the game you should add a Bunny pop up, with darker background to highlight where to look for, telling the player what to expect and where to go (and we never have enough of Bunny anyway).

One thing you can add, if possible is adding a spot toward the zone the player should look up next. Like a blip ona radar telling you to click on a realm, a scroll and so on. So, with this added focus maybe new player will get the hang of it quicker.

Similarly to what Profile4 said, my guess is just that this is around the area where those players would decide that the game isn't for them. It's the end of one of the early quests and (not sure about this) it may be where beginning players would naturally run out of stamina. If that's the case then there's unfortunately very little that you can do about it, as I'm sure there's a point like this in every FTP game.

JustNotFatal and Aymi I totally agree with you.
I made a new account to test...
All the beginning is really smooth and then all of a sudden "THE END" and click boom you have an expected popup ("wasn't it the end? Oh no I get a girl and a world...") and a map with plenty of stuff.
So you don't really know where to click + the map is not sexy compared to the style in the stories so the constrast is really shocking.
For players like me that are used to FTP and RPG it's classic mechanics so I found my way around BUT I'm not surprised that players already not so motivated or skilled would drop there because all of a sudden it becomes a hassle.
Imo you can fix this pretty easily since other parts of your intro are smooth there's no reason you can smoothen that one too!

Thanks everyone, we're currently investigating the issue and are integrating your feedbacks in our reflexion, that's going to be really helpfull !

Once it's updated I'll post here so you can tell us if it's better

Well i can give you a run down of what I have issues with the game, especially just starting off

I was amazed how little stamina you have and rapidly go through. Coupled with the high XP costs per level so it doesn't reset. Would probably turn most players off alone with that where I'm currently level 9 and I can do 1~3 advancements every couple of hours.

The overall lay of the game is not very friendly as well provide little information regarding stuff I'm still trying to figure out what Chlorellla does... some random crown thing.

Then you have the Harem... where it forces players to sit there to collect cash... but there's nothing else for them to do because of the long recharge times for stamina and fighting and there's little rewards for both.

So the game has a really bad balance of time and gratification of that time spent.... example... right now i need 10 stamina which takes about 75 minutes to get... I can do couple of fights that really do nothing for me. Collect from the girls which I'm still shocked to see you charge 2 cash currency to use.

You want to at least get players to invest some time into the game before you start causing huge time sinks into accomplishing anything rather than right up front it's just easier to walk away after couple of minutes of the game going wow.... screw this can't get anything done and just wants to take my money.

The girls seem difficult to acquire in the game as well there's no free game currency some players look for

Well, chlorella gives you ego, which is your hp.

As you upgrade your girls affection, time intervals are raising, so you will have to collect money like once a hour or rarer.

Yeah, this is confusing, but still you aren't forced to spend cash on it, it doesn't take long to collect money on your own.

Girls really is a challenge to acquire, but it's just a matter of luck, eventually you will get them all. As for "free game currency" what do you mean? there's "money" that actually a free game currency, or did you mean "kobans"?

And about time sinking, you need to know that this game is not for active playing, instead it's good background game that doesn't require much time and attention. But still, it's up to you to decide to play or not.
