The tickle scenes... by Knismese's sweet laughter, the tickle scenes! I missed them.
Deus, I missed your writing so much!
*sniff*. S-sorry. My feelings overwhelmed me. It won't happen again.
The gameplay was kept simple but interesting, and I already like the skill system; I see that you have implemented several combinations in this demo, and you also implied that talented fairies can "create" their own spells, opening up many options for the future.
No bugs that I noticed; the only suggestion I would make is to slow down a bit the speed of the combat text during fights, but I reckon with the combat log nothing really get lost, so it's just for the sake of the eye.
Lore-wise, I'm intrigued by the fact that the word "tickle essence" was nowhere to be found; I've read instead of spiritual energy and similar definitions. Are they the same thing?
Also, we get officially to know that fairies do have a marriage institution, and (duh!) it is for same-sex couples. It's kind of a suprise for me to see that they are accustomed to the idea of lifelong bonds. Nice to know though.
Favourite monsters that I'd like to see in future works: obviously my first choices would be the well known species of Aello, Hathor and Lady Venus; additionally, I would suggest kitsunes, imps, elves and dark elves
Well, I've already voiced my love of Lady Venus, so she's at the top of the list. Kitsune, because I like fox girls. Hmm, not really sure about any others.
I'll put in my vote for Honey Bee. It'd be interesting to see some of her back story before she met the traveler. Also, she's damn cute. ^_^.
Played both demos, no bugs that I found. The game is as good as I remember, coming from your skilled fingers. Pun intended.
Speaking of which, for those who have played it, do you like the way the defeat and victory scenes play out? I was iffy, at first, about going with the "two victory tickle" option, but was pleased with the result in hindsight.
Personally I don't mind at all repeating a fight for a second take on the tickle scene, especially given the new combat system. I suppose it all depends on you being inspired or not. I mean, you shouldn't force yourself to write a scene that you don't really "feel" for that character, just because he/she must have two... vice versa, if you feel particularly inspired toward a character, I surely wouldn't mind having three or four options.
EDIT: minor bug report. I tried submitting during the trial fight of the "magic tutorial, part I" given by Waelyn. Surprisingly, the skill was available; I submitted and saw the defeat scene written for the Luwa Villager (the fairy with a repeatable, non-magic encounter). Then it went in Game Over screen.
I', gonna throw in a vote for both Silver and the Snow Maiden (can't remember her actual name at the moment).While I'm working though, I wanted to ask: are there any Mamono (Daemons now) from ToG you would enjoy playing as in Welcome to Lustaeus? I have a pretty big list already, but if there are any favorites, I'll be sure to make sure they're included and given a bit of extra TLC.
Haven't played it yet, gonna wait for a bigger release.
But to answer the "someone from ToG you want to play with?" question: I don't remember her name now, but the witch from the "dance with the devil" option. Maybe some of her story that you can't see in the actual game but that would not spoil it later, if such thing is possible.
Either that or any other villan, really.
I miss Spaz the most, but I don't think the little thing has that much of a backstory to share. (Please, DO prove me wrong if you feel like it xD)

Wait. What witch? Did I miss something in my play through?
What in the world happened to my quote?

In the original ToG, when the question about dancing with the devil under the pale moonlight came up, did you answered "yes"? If you did, then you must have missed the chance to se the witch, if you did not, then you went to the "not-as-hard" mode, and that mode does not has this optional quest.
It was something related to getting a bell.... Search for Calypso (by the way,thanks for reminding me of her name, Deus) in the original topic, there are many posts regarding that.
Not going to spoil anything, but it's a really nice (and hard) optional quest.
