Thanks! We certainly know it's not the best game in the world, right? As a big Gamer myself, that's certainly apparent, lol. However it's a major stepping stone for us, in the big picture, as a Studio as we move on to our next projects this year. All the feedback is very valuable to us; the negative ones are even the most important so we can learn from our mistakes and adjust for the future.

Thanks for giving the game a shot and being friendly with us when we poked around with some questions.

The map itself is easy to understand, but the scrolling gave me a bit of a headache. I think it's nice you're interfacing with your players and aren't trying to please absolutely everyone in your game design. I hope this doesn't come off as discouragment, it's just that the game didn't mesh with me.

Indeed - Adventurer Manager is a 'Grind' just as much as any other 'Loot/Gear' based Dungeon Romp game out there.

You're the first to comment on the right-to-left scrolling; this was actually done on purpose as a throw-back to the old school games that did this. The map that we use seems to have been enough for most people, through their comments and feedback. Early in the game, we tried using different directions, but the designers didn't like the way it looked and it actually slowed things down a lot between combat; which was another pain point back then.

There's a lot of depth with the combat; through the University and Skills, and different weapon arrangements. We certainly didn't want combat being too advanced/crazy, and wwent with something more easy to pick up, for quick combat sessions.
