Thanks Eddy and Russ! I'm really glad people are enjoying it and I'm most certainly glad people are mentioning Hitodama and Yuurei because they were huge sources of inspiration. These two (along with another which was another source of inspiration kinda, that being Slipstream) kindled my love for the genre as I haven't really actually played any Metroidvanias. But I realized the heavy focus on certain aspects I enjoy really made me want to make a quest within that genre.

 

As for the feedback, we're committed to resolving the minor inconveniences for the database version. For obvious reasons, don't expect this update until the contest is over. There may be some other changes too, we'll see. But no bonus content unless we change our minds. Right now though we're committed to improve as much as we can based on feedback we got.

 

As for story, I want to apologize for that. We had bigger plans for it but it's probably the only thing that ended up being sacrificed and rushed (while I was tired too no less). For the sake of entering the contest I decided that's how it'll end up being. I'm mostly okay with it, but improvements could definitely be made and probably will be made when the database version arrives but until then, this will do for now. I'm still pretty damn proud and I'm glad feedback both critical and supportive are being expressed as it's helping a lot for a future update.

 

As for the other entries, I haven't had time to finish them but from what I played they're both great in their own ways. I especially really like what Moosh has done because the effort really feels like it went beyond something that was made in roughly two weeks and in ZC. It feels somewhat like an indie game. The non-Zelda atmosphere, graphics and engine really helps that a lot so well done! I already seen the ending (probably one of the most memorable ZC endings due to shock value) but I want to finish this personally. It's pretty tough though. :P I also like RedTribeLink's entry, it has that modest ZC quest feel which you can't go wrong with. I did play this entry a bit less but I have high hopes for it given Slipstream is one of my favorite quests and even served as some inspiration for Rite of the Storm as I mentioned. May go into more depth once I finish both but in short, both are fantastic entries!

 

(Wow this post took forever to write. Guess I need sleep...)

 

Oh, and Caelum also translates to Sky, Atmosphere and Weather right? But I knew it also translates to Heaven too. I won't lie, I used Google Translator but I also tried double checking elsewhere just to make sure of things. But ah well.

yeah. i was confused to for the ending of RotS

sooo Caelum pulled a "nice breaking it hero"? and Gale is doomed to repete the process or not? the whole thing is a trap of strife? a curse?
