Frozen Soil (Demo)

I finished playing the demo and this is easily one of the best-looking RPG Maker games I ever seem! I didn't even suspect it was made on RM when I first saw it.  

It's very easy to get immersed in the world you created, I found myself admiring all the locations and the implications of the visuals very fast. It helps a bunch the cutscenes have a lot of effort put on them and the existing characters grows on you pretty quickly.  

The animations are amazing too! I love how on top of the backgrounds having a lot of personality, all the characters have multiple idle animations that helps you getting attached to them even with the low amount of talk we can actually do in the demo. The random bandit having a special battle animation made me giggle, good stuff.  

I have to say I love most of the charming alien ladies and I'm also a sucker for post-apocalyptic scenarios, so this game pretty much has me covered from every angle lol  

Being a solo dev is though and your project certainly seems like a huge commit, but I hope you can succeed on making Frozen Soil possible! I will follow the game for sure!

Good luck and  thank you for the great demo!

I played through your demo and was blown away. It was really fun and i couldn't stop smiling when playing it. Keep it up, i love it.

I wonder what the other Star-Vehicles look like you got First, Second, Third & Star-Seven and they are amazing. AAAAAA i get so excited when i think about it!!!!

So what's the difference between the 2 downloads?

I just finished the demo and it was amazing. Quick question tho. Will there be a difficulty setting incase we ever wanna play on higher difficulty or just an easy playthrough?

I recently played the demo and I have to say it was short an sweet and fun! what i like most is about it was the humor and the characters the combat section was also really fun but playing with mouse and keyboard it's a little janky like I would click on the enemy above another it would still attack the other but with how fast combat was I never really encountered it too often and would controller support coming later? Last three things who is your favorite character? i have two Hix and Yarunna also is Hix a play on the Pokémon trainer Hex? I know I've said a lot but i wanna support your game and give feedback and ask some questions so i hope this helped!

Just played the demo and I want to say that character designs are fantastic and overall story and humor are pretty good(I really like stories taking place in post apocalypse earth). I want to ask some questions about the romance side of the game. Will there be harem option or will we have to choose one partner? And will there be kiss scenes or do you count them as NSFW?

will there be nsfw with big booba lady ;-; 

big pretty ladies aside this game is beautiful like a classic rpg cant wait for more updates 

why dont post this game in steam ? 

:D

后面还会更新什么呢？

THE PERFECT GAME IS MADE ON RPG Maker Game (sorry bad english)

I feel like "The Arts User" is the hardest  to get. I cant figure out for the life of me where the key is.

I was on the thread on /v/ and saw a .webm of this game where the party was at a hot spring. Played the demo and couldn't find it. Where is it? 

I just seen your game screen, it make me wonder how is the story in this game. But I just downloaded in few minutes, the file is no found. Is this something wrong in the game files ?

Update coming ?

(WARNING LONG COMMENT)

Alright. I'll be honest, while it said that the average playtime was around 1 hour, I've played Frozen Soil for 5 to 6 hours and I think I can provide a decent feedback.

About the Story

From what I understood we play as a human who's part of a team of space mercenaries who came to earth which is now in a permanent ice age and filled with eldritch abomination. We got 2 mission: help someone's named Gorro and meet up with a compagny of Soil Hunters who wants to dig up some soil of Earth since it's great to farm...

Wow. Honestly I really like the plot and while we know Earth's been invade by aliens centuries ago, all of this raises so much questions and it's fantastic. Personally, I'd love to see how Earth's climate changed and what remains of human civilisation, That's an amazing plot and I can't wait to learn more about it.

Gorro's quest serves to introduce some other characters. I'm not going to spoil it if someone is reading this.

Landscape, arts, music and design

Personally, I love snow so I'm biased here. Even tho snow is fantastic, the fact that all maps are made on RPGM is honorable. The parallax mapping on some maps is well done and so is the static background in the garage or the ship (I'm curious, how did you manage to add a static background?)

As for the character design... Well, it's just furries and fan service for the most part, but it's relatively soft compared to what's already existing and most importantly, it's not everywhere and enjoyable. As for the non-furries it's well done. For ennemies, I their design is horrifying for the most part and that's cool, nothing more to say about that.

Musics, same things... I LOVE SNOW LANDSCAPE WITH PIANO. I don't know if theses musics are already in RPGM or if you/someone made it, idk but it's good.

Lastly, animations... It's impeccable, specially the special combat skills (repairs, healing, 9mm shots and that damn eating animation wich feels like you made it a 24fps animation just for it).

Game mechanics

Exploration in the snowy landscape is standart. Nothing new really. As for the frozen forest, the events where you jump to an elevated ground and use it to dodge ennemies is really well made, hope you'll find some more exploration mechanics like that (maybe switch from deployed character to perform special movement skills ? That could be cool).

The combat mechanics are the weakest aspect in the game in my opinion unfortunately. Not saying it's bad, but weird. In combat you got the special habilities which cost consummables to perform. That's in fact a clever idea, but we get so much ammo for everything that you got no ammo managment to make and just spam the same attacks over and over again (only exception being Yarunna since she got a special attack that cost TP and not consummables). There are ways to balance it and make special abilities more special than just being regular attacks. Here are some ideas :

1 – You could add an ability usage limit for a fight and remove the ammo consummables (it can make inventory managment easier with less items).

2 – You can add a cooldown for each ability while keeping the consummables system, so you can't spam it at all time.

3 – Add the ability usage limit, not removing the ammo consummables but adding a rearm ability to make the fight be more intesting and adapting your tactics for each fights (maybe even bound the rearm capacity to a new support character?)

The second issue I have with combat is the scaling and how weak the player character (PC) feels like. At the beginning of the game you got the PC and Yoyo. Both are at the same level but Yoyo is just better at every stats. This does not make any sense since the player is in a tank which is geared to withstand the hardest the ennemies smashing at it. It should have more HP than anyone else (and for god sakes, it got an energy shield! Give it at least a support ability to increase global defense of the party). At the opposite, you got Yarunna. She got decent abilities that consist not to lobotomize yourself and keep attacking and that's the only reason I like her... definitively... I swear.

The issue is her scaling. I understand that everything in her physic means STRENGTH, but she currently act as a damage dealer and a tank even tho her defense is below average and can't be increased. I see that he vision was to make her some kind of a glass canon. This is unfortunately unbalanced due to her HP scaling and her regeneration per turn capacity that overshadows her ability to eat during fight. What I would do is :

• decrease her HP scaling
• remove the effect of her extra equipment that heals her each turn and turn its effect into an HP bonus
• modify the eat ability by adding the regeneration bonus for X turns

Overall, this game is fantastic and I hope to see more of it :)

I hopped my feedback helped you in any ways. If it is, I might do multiple feedbacks for the next updates.

I'm just gonna say what everyone is thinking. NSFW DLC when?

I really like this game and hope the Chinese version can also be updated to the latest version

Nice game! Although i wanna ask, with all the size diff content, will there by any size change content in the future? I'm sure a lot of us would like to see these big gals get even bigger <3

WOAH WAIT WHAT THIS WAS MADE IN RPGM??? HOLY SHIT I DIDNT KNOW THIS LOOKS SO GOOD

the thumbnail got me here, what can i say am a sucker for boobs

Warning, a rather stupidly long comment about an hour long demo and most likely missing the game's point.

 Good game, not great but very high potential. Although not a fan of "guy with beautiful women go to adventure" troupe, I enjoy the story for most of the time. I like the fact that in cutscenes or in rest, the members do exist even without talking. I also like about it's simplicity yet intriguing story, knowing well when to just go right into it, when to long story chatting and when to let the player find the story by themselves. The story also have good "wall" between funny quirky time with the girls and serious life threatening situation. It's probably just me high on coffee when playing this game but jokes are funny, even though sometime it didn't try to be joking ( WHY AM I SO FUCKING SHORT)

 And for someone who enjoy rpgmaker combat I say this game combat fine.It remind of Lisa and it's fangames, where it's repetitive yet still feel engaging. I believe I learn most of characters traits from combat, which mean you try to put characteristics in their combat animations, which is good.

Loot from battle is fine. Art is marvelous. Some enemies are interesting. Choice of location is legendary.

Can't wait for more.

 Critiques or opinions, but i believe these could be set aside by the fact its very early version and what kind of exactly this game is and the fact I am stupid, but since I wish this game have great success in the end, I dont care:

1) Skills limited by resources is good idea, as these people are not from the planet mean they have limited resources. However, the resources are abundance which remove the "limiting" aspect. I suggest to downgrade most of the scavenge reward from ammo to money or useless items that only can be sold. Equipment scavenge reward however is fine. HOWEVER, this maybe by the fact I bought alot of ammunition from the tree merchant.

2) Map enemies are sparse. I suggest increase the frequency of battle in there, but don't too much.

3) Most grouped enemies are too simple to fight especially when Virone is in the party. I suggest putting down high priority enemy in group and lower mass attack damage. Like holy damn I could one shot them with Virone attack.

4) I never sold an item, it's probably my frugal habit in RPGmaker games but most reward money (battle, scavenge, quest) can be the budget for basically everything. Kinda sad because it could be monster hunting type where monsters drop their special reward that could be sell, but that is my opinion.

I straying too far. I believe it would be still great game even nothing really change. I am probably going to regret writing this and please just ignore if it make you mad. Tq.

1.7 review: 

Absolutely wonderful! 

Only thing I dislike is that it doesn't matter what armor or weapon you chose, the models will stay the same. At least make optional change of appearance please. 

Would be also cool to have some romantic time with these girls, but it is totally okay if it's not about that. 

Also I did not find the Key for that forrest bird thing. But it's okay. 

As stated in my review, love how this game works, looks, and feels. Excellent job. Hope to see more asap. :D 

will there ever be nudity added?

how do you get to the mana art users' hideout that is hinted to you?

also loved it cant wait for more

Contributing my video to the comments section. 😂 This is a cool demo and I wish you best of luck with the rest of the development!

A solid game with creative character designs and all around great presentation.

nice game
