Oh yeah, sorry my bad. My brain is in need of oxygen these days lol...

I just finished the demo and here's a few things to point out.
Before I begin, I have to say I played this on a really shitty laptop so what I experienced may not be the reality (even with the options you gave to improve performance).
The controls feel sluggish. Sometimes I needed to press shift twice in order to run, because apparently she'd stand on battle stance?
When running, the character sometimes ends up running left and facing right and vice-versa, even when facing up and running down and vice-versa.
When fighting the monsters, sometimes they'd charge in and I couldn't hit them on the adjacent square.
Last but not least, after killing one monster and if a second appeared, he'd be able to stand on the dropped item and I couldn't hit him, instead I'd pick the item and get hit instead lel...

A personal question now. Are the enemies going to be this op on the full game? Cause I'd get KO'ed every random once in a while with like 150 damage XD

Appart from all above, the game looks really promising, I really liked the recalling scenes, bit by bit

Never ever, use a fire gun on starting level, specially if it's your only one and your ammo scarce.
You'll end up getting screwed later on and trust me on that, because I've learnt that the hard way on Resident Evil series xD

When you found the naked man, there'll be a path on the bottom right. It's a bit dark, so it's hard to see.

Re: Punished Mai

This looks so good . What kind of tag will this game have?

Re: Punished Mai

First of all, thank you very much!

Well, even if this is a rpg maker game it's still quite cpu consuming because it uses 4 viewports drawing at the same time aswell as the lighting surface. So you may face slowdowns if you're running it on a old machine or so.

About the controls, well they can be tricky until you get used to them. Because we're limited to what rpg maker has to offer we have to end up using the same button for "aiming" (what you can call battle stance, aim, w/e but indeed what it really does is fix your direction in the one your character is looking right at that moment) and sprinting. I think we should of made this clearer to begin with so my mistake . Tu put it simply: If you're moving and press SHIFT you'll start running but if you're not moving you'll start "aiming". But because the method to check if it's moving or not is so basic, when you already running if you collide with anything that blocks your way (ie wall, objects, etc) it'll probably check as if the character is not moving so it will change it the action to "aiming". That why it produces that effect of walking to one direction while facing the other way around.

About the monsters being unhittable they're probably in an invincibility moment. We realized that even when the monster are attacking if you try to attack them you'll stop they attack and they'll become almost useless xD. This way we added them a bit of difficulty because otherwise they're just there waiting to get killed

The part i bolded on your post is something i've never found. So i'll test it out again to see when this happens. Could you please tell me exactly in which zone it happened to try and reproduce it?

The enemies are a op at first when you're on level 1. The Driver recommends you to get on fight before going to the target because it can be really hard. The problem with that op is that when you reach the level 2 the enemies start to become easier and easier. That's why we decided to keep them a bit op at first so they don't get (completely) useless when you reach the next level. But to be hones i keep thinking the Easy Mode should be calles Normal Mode and the Normal be Hard instead . You can change the mode anytime and don't worry because there's no penalty in doing it. You wont lose any content h-wise/gameplay-wise. In easy mode in the industrial wh you can reach level 2 with just 3 (if i recall ) fights against those slimes (just go back and forth between the motel and the industrial wh saving each time to recover you hp).

I think i wrote too much already xD

Haha yeah that's the kind of "cheat" i recommend to pass that zone if you're getting troubles with it. To be honest that underground is really giving us headaches. We lighted it up a few times now but then depending on the pc screen it will be or too lighten up or the other way around; too darker... I'm getting mad at it

Thank you! And sorry but what do you mean by "tag"? English is not my mother language and sometimes i face this problem of not understanding a question . Do you mean fetishes? I'm not sure so i'll just wait for your answer to be sure and be able to answer your question

Re: Punished Mai

Now THATS a good looking RPG-Maker game.

But... 3D-CGs in a 2D-RPG again?
It perplexes me every time I see it, it just doesn't work for me. I wish you could go the extra mile and hire a decent artist but I can understand if its too expensive.

Re: Punished Mai

Hey there Versus.
I can't give you an exact location, because it's random. When you kill a monster it drops items and that's what you need to check.
So, it's pretty much possible to happen anywhere where an item was dropped.

And yeah i know what you mean... I'd love to have 2d art in the game but right now we can't afford an artist. Hopefully in a not too distant future we'll be able to hire one ^^

Oh I see, so its a random one. It's really hard to find then. I'll try to spot it. Thank you!

I can't see path at all, only thing i can do is to go straight till i hit the wall then change direction and hope i will see that fire lanterns to show me the way.
Tried using flashlight, that's not helping at all lol Found that thing in menu so it's all ok, i will probably "cheat" thru entire game hehe
Going thru that dark place, thought something will pop out, it was scary lol
Blood and skeleton heads/bones, chains on the walls, lights blinking..... nice details. It's a starter demo, not bad one either. Waiting impatiently to see more

Re: Punished Mai

Re: Punished Mai - Chapter 1 Release Date Added!

Tried the demo and loved what I saw. The only issue I had is the game is dark, really dark. It wasn't too bad on other areas but in the cave I couldn't really see anything, the flashlight lights up so little that it's basically worthless. I think for the flashlight to be of any real use it would need to be about 2-3 times the size. So something like a 90 degree cone in front of you that lights up at least 3x4 squares ahead or larger.
