Art is really great, animations in combat are smooth and satisfying and has a shockingly complex yet simple battle system. Characters are well written and i cant wait to see more from this game.
Hello! Checked out the demo after hearing your interview on RPG Maker Cola. Really sweet game. Love the early 2000s aesthetics (the era I feel most nostalgia for). Love the art, the charm of the characters, dialogue, music, really just everything. Combat is also straightforward and fun. Can't wait to see the full version released!
Hey, this is the guy who emailed you, just adding a comment here. Again, a really great game, I'm very intrigued by the characters, I wanna see where the plot ends up going from here, and the gameplay is shaping up to be really fun and interesting.
One thing I do want to know: Will this game be released episodically, or are you waiting until the whole thing is complete before you put it down?
Just played the demo and oh my god Marsh and his brother already break my heart these characters are great, really great and cool game already, cant wait to see the rest
This game was great, the story, characters, mechanics, visuals, and sound were all top tier, and I advise you to play it, even if it's just the demo! I liked it so much, I made an animation.
The HYADES Demo Experience. Alright, to get this off already: this is not an NSFW Furry game (even if it has the Furry tag), the game simply contains Animal Protagonists living in an Animal World. Now that I got that off the way, what is Hyades? Hyades is a 2.5D turn-based RPG where you (currently) control 4 Characters: Marsh, Ruth, Anise, and Charles. Now, I won't get into the story because of spoilers and things. COMBAT As you probably figured out, this isn't your run of the mile RPG/Turn-Based RPG, there's something special to this game, so... what is it? Well, it's how fun the combat is, all your characters have special skills that, when used accordingly, can give a HUGE boost and advantage against the (currently) 2 bosses. WORLD (AND WORLD-BUILDING) When I say this game doesn't just have a little bit of flavor text (world-building essential) but a whole lot, almost everywhere, I MEAN IT. This game very easily makes the world feel alive and almost like it's real, almost like it's the world you're living in. MY CURRENT ISSUE. I'm not saying the game is like release Cyberpunk 2077 or Yandere Simulator when I say this game has an issue but, My biggest issue would have to be this little thing called Accessibility. First off, the font, it's not very pleasing to look at normally and even less is it if you have any sight issues (like I do), when you compare the text to the background, it could potentially give you a headache (or make you vomit) because of how saturated both ends are. (In regards to the flashing lights warning, it only happens twice and is pretty slow) FINAL RATING: 8/10, very fun and well put together.
An awesome demo!!! I really liked how the characters played off each other, and the stakes really ramped up! Also lots of fun little details if you take the time to poke around. I'm super pumped to watch this continue to grow!

Mercilessly beating dust monsters with a hockey stick is the best👍

Hi! Tentatively, I'm planning on releasing the game once the whole thing is complete since I think the game's story is best told all at once!
