Introduction
Hey, been making a little game in my spare time while not raiding! its at a stage where i feel i can show some of you what i have done so far. The game is still under heavy construction, but you can be apart of its growth and development by giving me feedback and ideas that you believe would suit the game and do well for its growth.

This game is based on RPG style with a hint of sandbox, Crafting your own gear, making your own potions and catching your own food are all apart of this, make sure your gear is up to date or your may find your self in a bad situation, death will lead to the loss of gold, unless you are depositing it and keeping it safe, keep an eye on your inventory, skill up your chosen player and their companions, the world is yours to explore.

How to Install:

• First you will need to download from, http://www.mediafire.com/?59pmc226m45v4fn.
• Put the downloaded file in to a new folder.
• Extract the .exe to the folder you have put it in
• Double click "Game.exe" it will look like a Knight chest piece.

Troubleshoot
Game will not launch, Make sure you run it in admin if it is not launching. Right click on the "game.exe" and go to property, then go to compatibility, and then at the bottom tick the box to run as admin.

* One thing you enjoyed:
The entire layout to be honest, it reminds me of Zelda
* One thing you didn't enjoy:
Not sure if I was supposed to be able to equip my other party member with gear or not ?
* What was the difficulty like:
I didnt die to anything I encountered, I did play for about 20 minutes before I did the quest however, perhaps I fought a few too many of the basic mobs first ?
* What items did you get, and how did you obtain them:
I got a number of sticks from hacking at logs, pieces of ore and tin from various rocks, one of the wasps dropped a wing and I found a couple of plant leaves at some point beyond this there was a hat and some coins from a couple of chests which was nice.

Wouldn't nice to tell what I like and what I don't, since that's everyone's perception and tastes about the game, but I have a few suggestions:

1. A map is needed, or some sort of coordinates.
2. I played Human, which almost one shots mobs (almost of all of them), so he needs a nerf
3. Fishes and materials spawn too fast, making it too easy.
4. There is an area with goblins at some point, blocked by a stick-pile, you can't reach in.
5. Game needs either a story to follow, or some sort of final objective with steps to complete in order to reach the end.

I will be back with further notes when I think of them.

AWESOME job Kellie, keep going!

[Durum]

One thing you enjoyed: getting epix Fae Dress from baby slime! In fact, there were too many nice little things to mention.

One thing you didn't enjoy: not being able to cross over stumps & unreachable fishing spots. Lack of awesome Magic Missile spell for elves!

What was the difficulty like: hard to say really, at least not too hard.

What items did you get, and how did you obtain them: Epix Fae Dress from baby slime, tin ore from ore nodes, sticks from logs, Crayfish from fishing spots, broken wings from wasps, leather helm from chest, some junk loot from baby slimes.
