Do you have a screenshot of your project? My project is a SNES/Mega Drive RPG with simple but addictive/fast gameplay. The inspiration is Chrono Trigger. A lot of people like realistic RPGs (for example in a quasi-mediaeval setting) but I like freaked out, spaced out, psychedelic stuff. Of course the story is very important in a game of this type (the story of CT is outstanding) but if its no fun to play the game, no one will care about the story anyway. So I try to be very persistent with the gameplay itself.
My question was about movement. You can go in 8 directions and the other party members follow you. But it looks very static and unnatural, I want them to follow the main char, yes, but in a more relaxed way to make them appear more alive.
