Cast Aside

Welcome to the world of Cast Aside.



You’ll play the role of a young girl with a dull future ahead of her. A kitchen assistant and foster-daughter to the island’s most powerful Luminary, you wonder if your life is really worth living… How will her life unfold? You’ll need to play to find out!Cast Aside is an episodic game where your ‘Save File’ needs to be transfered from one episode to the next.It sports a unique battle system, good graphics and a story heavy game with a lot of puzzles. Combat is based on an Active Tactical System, so it can be hectic and will sometimes integrate puzzle elements.Each episode contains the one before it, so there’s no need to download early episodes!

The mapping is supurb, and your battle system is amazing. I've downloaded it and tried it out, and here's what I thought:
Your titlescreen is really good, lots of detail and it looks nice. Well done.

Like Zekallinos has already said, the text scrolls a little to slowly, but that's not a big deal. The scene that plays out next (the one with the parents in the counting house) is set out well, but the music doesn't really suit it. I know it's ment to be a dreamy sort of thing, but after 'Is this what it's like to be dead' the tinkly fairy music doesn't match.
I like the mini game in the kitchen, that was a good idea. Works well, too.
The first beach map is a bit bare, but the other maps look great.

The battle system reminds me of games like LotR Tactics and likewise, and that's a good thing. It's very well spaced out and designed. Just I'd make those move/attack etc symbols a bit bigger, cause they're hard to read.

Then I got to the second boulder puzzle outside the cave and got stuck. I'll try again later. But that's one truly awesome game you've got yourself there. Well done.

Oh, note: I'd delete the big red 'RTP WARNING! This project very heavily uses the default RTP graphics. Even edits are rare!' at the top of the thread if I were you, because that will put some people off, and you really don't want that with such a good game.
