Nice game!! I managed to finish all tasks without the walkthrough! I think you can improve the visual feedback. It was hard to see the circle to align the satellite and known when the items like the fridge where fixed, but overall I enjoyed, congrats!!
It's a good game, I never played a simulator, it was a little difficult for me understand what to do, but then I figure it! It would be nice to add a visual or a sound feedback when you repaired an item. Good job!
Thank you! I agree, both would be super helpful together with more consistent controls. I should have spent more time planning for those, which is something I will bring into my next game! :3
I have to be honest, I had no idea what to do in this game but I absolutely loved just walking around the forest listening to the birds.
I liked the setting and the spaces you created. I wish there was some visual or sound que to give feedback about an attempted or completed action. There are some comments, but they are too few. The ifsrt dot on the satellite screen is too close to the center of the screen and I didn't realize it wasn't the cursor. Sudden switch to arrow keys to complete the task was also odd. But those are just minor inconveniences. I likes the idea of small repetitive tasks filling long days in the middle of nowhere. It's definetly cozy and well made.
Edit: couldn't get to ending. Don't know what to do.
Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback. I see the same issues. I have to put sticker notes up to remind myself to keep track of those things during development. :3
Love the vibe here and the atmosphere was great. Very chill and engrossing. Great job!
Thanks a lot!
This game was made for the https://itch.io/jam/cozy-fall-jam 2024 in a week. Actual development time was probably around 30 hours in total. The idea was to develop a simple sandbox game with small random tasks for the player. Most are optional and just there to give the impression of a job in a remote outpost for the jam itself. It is the usual stuff. I committed to a game that was way too big then and had to cut features on the way. Since I come from a programming background, I'm super bad at modelling and texturing, so I used the following paid asset together with Unity 6, which I still had lying around and were the only parts not made during the jam week.
Tools Used:
I created a few additional models using the textures from the asset packs mentioned above. The music is a recorded jam session with a friend on the drums and me on the guitar.
