can i beta test????

I PM'd you. Looking forward to hearing back.

Id love to BETA Test too :]
I love you <3 :D

I PM'd you too. So much love in the room!

kinda like a swords and sandals with orc eh?

What really gets me about this screenshot is the amount of numbers on the HUD.
I can understand that money and time are presented as numbers, because they probably don't have a limit, and the individual numbers are important.
Presenting Attack and Defense to the player is different though, because there's not gonna be much of a difference between having 21 attack or having 22. What's bad about using numbers is that they don't give you any information on the scale- Like what's a high number and what's a low number. Also, it takes a second for the player to read and register numbers to work out wether they're doing good or bad. It distracts people from the game.

That's why I think, for the sake of people who are totally put off by classic RPGs, you should present statistics like this as a graphic; like a bar, or maybe blocks that go up in increments of 10s. It's why they invented Graphics interfaces, and it makes games more, for lack of a better word: Intuitive.

BOY DID I GET CARRIED AWAY WITH THAT ONE! I'll make this next point quick:
MAKE THE ORGAK'S HEALTH BAR STAND OUT MORE. TRY MAKIN THE OUTLINE WHITE? I DUNNO.

i'd like to beta test for u.

Peon, as in, Warcraft peon?

Really great game.
Keep up the good work!
I would also like to beta test for your future games.
