Saw a review spend 3 paragraphs on how bad the Throes of the Watchmaker story, tone and characterization were, then give the story 7.5/10. Moral of the story... be pretty?

starting to realize the target audience for Quartet is 36-42 year old parents with 2-3 kids. If that's you, we're counting on you buying the game lol

Quartet is full of vibrant and diverse towns! Who loves a good town to explore in a #jrpg? #QuartetRPG #indiegame

There are trash mobs in COEX33 that can kill you with half their combo, even on easy, even if you've been building defense and HP. Any notion that you don't have to dodge/parry (or grind heavily) is absurd.

Battles in Quartet are turn based with instant back row party swapping (ala FFX). AP regenerates a small amount each turn, allowing party members in the back to be swapped in ready to unleash their best attacks. #QuartetRPG #jrpg

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

After Ben Balani--quite unexpectedly--gains the ability to use magic, he has to seek new work. And that new work starts in a noxious swamp. Bummer. #QuartetRPG #JRPG

Charm/confuse as a status effect is never fun. Never. It has never been fun. It will never be fun.

The final quest we're making for Quartet is essentially a visual novel murder mystery in a posh British mansion (but with magic). Visual novel writers deserve their money, lemme tell ya. (NB: They do not make any money. But they deserve it.)

I'm begging game developers. Please have one colorblind person play your game. If it is important to quickly recognize color in your game, pale green and pale red are the WORST POSSIBLE CHOICES!
