Anyone that plays Heavens Heroes is so important, and so if you do struggle when playing, please send questions or suggestions over. Here is an example of a recent player who vented some frustration.

 

Question:

I had the file downloaded 2 months ago but been busy doing lots of other things to try it again.

First issue is that I can access the menu when the title screen comes down after selecting you gender and name.
allot should be a lot? (early conversation)
fishing is still very confusing. I shouldn't have to read a guide before I play the game to learn one simple feature.
Still died from a slime battle with three slimes, even though I defeated them just a minute ago without too much effort. 224 damage for the slime seems high I guess with yourself not able to do a lot back fast enough.
I would make the crafting at the campfire able to press cancel. When I press cancel to go back an option it cancels the crafting, I simply want to go back one step. Also when crafting an item like the vita potion, it says jelly slime -1 twice.

Overall I don't think this is a game I would enjoy.
Sorry.

My Answer

A newer update released today. This has new graphics, window resize options and it's much better improved than it was. The menu also no longer comes up. I wish updating was easier... But, I'm trying to make it easier for those who play, to experience a decent game.

Thanks so much Roninanator2. One of the main issues is, I've only had a handful of people actually give some feedback. I would award you a keg of your favourite drink and snacks if I could, just for the fact you came back! I hoped I could use my experience of RPG's I've played as a baseline for a good balance. I've played a great deal of RPG's since the 20's, and many of the old school RPG's of the 80's and 90's.

I've tried to balance the battle system as best as possible. Levelling up is not the most important part of Heavens Heroes, It's a world full of story, and your adventure is not to fight everything in sight, but fight for what you need or what you believe.

For many people who play RPG Maker games, they tend to skip the battles as they are so used to the format. But, battling I have made challenging. You'll gain new friends who will help you on your journey. Which is what Heavens Heroes is about, not doing it by yourself, and knowing that sometimes, you need the extra support.

My battle with depression is a catalyst for allot of what you'll experience in difficulty, and so this is really a good start for you! You didn't fail at all. Just continue the story, the monsters don't need to be beaten. They are there if you want to fight them. But they will put up a fight if you go for the tough ones alone.

The weapons shop sells a good weapon. Burts Mana Sword which will give you a double turn chance. But, even then, you'll have some items as you follow the quest line. Within 20 minutes of doing the story you'll be tough enough to beat up anything that pops up 

As for crafting, the jelly drop -1 is to let you know that the item has been taken from your inventory for crafting. I'll certainly have more improvements within a few weeks. But, I am really thankful you came through and vented, because I need that kind of thing feeding back. I'm super sorry I let you down twice.

In conclusion, I still am growing, but I hope you found some great changes beyond what you didn't like, such as the newer looks and graphics. It's an uphill climb, and I've slipped and fallen a number of times. You feedback will help me improve.
