Hello Requinnzious, Im part of a team called PortMaster. We port over games to multiple handheld linux devices running custom versions of Linux. Phantasy Star RL is a very cool game and quite challenging at the later floors and I have enjoyed it quite a bit. I would like to ask if you would allow us to distribute the data.win file. Otherwise gamers would have to download the game on itch.io and add the file manually. I look forward to hearing back from you, if you are interested in PortMaster, here is a link: https://portmaster.games/
Never knew about this project. Thanks for sharing it! Also appreciate you asking permission before just listing it. Wish the 'Retron' team got the hint and respected devs as much as you do :)
If you want players to use non-standard keys to play your game, at least display them on the tittle screen. It's not normal when you press Enter in a menu and nothing happens.
But during character creation, suddenly it's no longer W and X (that's another thing: millions of people do not use a QWERTY keyboard)!
They're kind of right, considering at the time of release the controls weren't even on the page lol. At the end of the day it was a game they wanted to play <3

Sorry for the late reply, but yes that sounds great! I'm glad you enjoyed the game; I need to take another crack at the concept some day
Thank you! :)

Ok buddy, super harsh critique of a freeware indie game tbh.
Out of every keyboard layout and country listed below, which do you fall into?
