Sorry, haven't realized there was a comment until now - and yes, I think we've met on the TGC forums before.

So, I finally played it. Got to the wolf boss guy in the dungeon and died pretty quickly. I don't know how much content there is after that part, but until then it's a very nice start, the intro is pretty cool (although you might want to use another font, and possibly reduce the amount of text a bit) and I like the soundtrack, especially in the dungeon. Visuals are nice, you've chosen an appealing color scheme and the sprites and animations look good - I was quite surprised by all the individually animated NPCs doing everyday things.
The only thing I'm not too convinced of yet is still the gameplay. Mainly the fact that the boss is the first enemy that you actually have to fight, until then you could easily just run past all the monsters. Making it so that the doors won't open before all enemies in a room are defeated might be an option here, just to make sure the player gets used to the fight system early on. Also, letting the player start all over after being killed by the boss is a bit harsh. Respawning him in the boss room with full health for both would certainly be better. ;-)

Looks great. :) The graphical style seems quite unique. I like those cloud shadows. Judging from the video I'm not too convinced of the gameplay yet (specifically the combat system), but I'll have to play it by myself, I guess. I know, that's what I said two months ago and so far I haven't, but it's on my list! :D
