Played the version you just posted https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2026447243 

Agreeing with other commentors, cool start for a game, the basic flair is there

when I try to run it, it said:

---------------------------

Unable to initialize Vulkan video driver

---------------------------

Your video card drivers seem not to support the required Vulkan version.

If possible, consider updating your video card drivers or using the OpenGL 3 driver.

You can enable the OpenGL 3 driver by starting the engine from the

command line with the command:

    "awoken.exe" --rendering-driver opengl3

If you have recently updated your video card drivers, try rebooting.

---------------------------

OK   

---------------------------

Can you perhaps have the zip file have a shortcut to the .exe inside it, which has this parameter, and call it start in safe mode or something? I had to right clikc, create shortcut, right click shortcut go properties, paste "--rendering-driver opengl3" onto the end of target, apply, ok, then click shortcut to run uit.

IT then ran fine, very fast even. IT was very responsive good job. I like hwo the anime ho animates  each time i shoot.

On You Died! the button for "Restart" is cut off so it just say "Restar"

Your level design LOOKS SO COOL! I like how the cockpit reacts to the light of the area.

Just need to have gun shot spawn projectile and toggle on an area light to provide muzzle flash...

Good start, adding some basic gamefeel such as camera shake or projectiles. The sound is great so far.

Good start, the basic visuals are pretty neat already even though I'm guessing this is more of a prototype.

Like some of the other commenters mentioned, you should definitely beef up the mechs HUD with lots of cool / functional gizmos. Also, utilizing more cute anime girls is always a solid strategy.\

Keep working on it! I'm interested in seeing your progress.

I like it, it needs more. You can break it pretty easily by using slide/dash and jumping a lot. Ran around a bit and looked at the environments too, got a some kills but mostly fucked around.

Here are some suggestion: 

- Health Bars on screen in cockpit, 

- Enemy radar on screen in cockpit

- Animegirl on screen in cockpit, I think this what you already have planned, giving you messages while you play. 

- Jumping and dashing in the air is fun, make a slight headbob when you land, cockpit going down and up. 

-For environmental details in the future I would go with a lot of aggressive commercials

- I think maybe you should consider some pixelated textures for the graphics, go with that sort of style. I was thinking about the turret, some pixel nuzzleflare when you blast might be good.

- That is one giant bartender, I think I autodied when jumping behind the bar. 

Also, you got me: 

Awoooooowoken a game without linux

highscore of 100+, after 100 the display breaks

no major crashes or errors to report. the AI is easy to play around - just stand somewhere far away and shoot, since their spawn positions are fixed and movement speed is low, they'll never get you.

default volume is too high, i toned my headset down to 2/3rd volume

overall it's a promising start. consider adding random spawn positions (or at least the same position + a random Vector 3 offset), and making a faster enemy so the player doesn't just corner-camp like i did

keep up the good work

Didn't have any performance issues on my end while playing.

Anyway, since its an early (and your first) prototype, you will probably mostly read things you already know yourself, however i'll just write down my thoughts:

A settings menu would be great. I always turn down sounds in game because i've set my system sounds too high, couldn't do that here. Also while at the topic of settings, you  might want to check out the other fullscreen option in Godot, because it prevents the grey border around the window.

The explosions are way too slow, like 80s era game explosions while the enemy animations are pretty fluid. 

Enemies obviously need more mechanics than just approaching and damaging on contact.

Weapons need projectiles, more visual feedback for both firing and hitting a target.

The sounds are actually okay, for instance jumping sounds like a mech jumping, but landing is stiff and quiet.

The rickrolling is a nice touch, didn't expect that.

Will the anime girl in the corner be animated later on? Like the doom guy reacting to damage, power ups etc?

Good job on making a stable demo though. Hope to see it evolve in the future!
