Sorry for the double post, but I've uploaded an updated version of the demo that resolves many of the cursor issues. You can find it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?swoyyz9w1nq

Played..

First of all:
Graphics:
-Cursors are white and blend with the white text window...so that makes them invisible.
-Models are really good, and very nicely done
-BG's style appears not to be fitting the character art (I'd love to help if you wish for a bg artist).
-Default gui's really don't appear that good to me.
-Story is very nicely told, characters appear to have depth and personality.

Mostly the game looks good, promising but has some elements that make it a diamond in the rough

Thanks, Dualnames! Glad you liked it. I'll try to polish this rough game into a diamond (or at least a decent-looking piece of coal).

I thought the backgrounds worked pretty well, to my surprise. I usually don't care much for a mix of photos and pixel art (Other Worlds, shudder), but you pulled it off quite nicely!

The cursors do need outlines, other than that, a minor thing is Oko's size in relation to the background. This is most notable in the first swamp screen, if you make him walk "upwards", to the back of the picture. He only scales down a teeny bit while the trees around him shrink to half their size.
And in the reeds dead end, he should be much bigger, I think.

Looking at the ground to be told about the possible exists is a very nice touch (and a must with backgrounds like that anyway, IMO).

It's been a while, so I thought I'd give everyone an update:

* I've composed a few more songs, created another character, implemented a communication system, and finished about 80% of the puzzles.

* Most of the spoken dialog will now be in English, not my conlang. I made this decision based on the sheer number of lines in the game; translating them all would take more time than it's worth.

* I'm still looking for voice actors! And now that the dialog is in English, it shouldn't be so hard to get a handle on the lines. PM me if you're interested.

* Speaking of which, if you're interested in beta-testing the final version of the game, send me a PM.

That's all for now. Thanks for your support!
