I guess we're past the rating phase of the jam but I just wanted to say this game has a ton of potential! Everything fits together really nicely, the setting is cohesive, the story was engaging. I think some of the audio needs a bit of work to make sure things loop correctly but there were tons of sounds in there that made it feel super immersive!
The camera angles were great too, was just a little disorientating because you need to change your character's direction after the switch. Overall super cool, I would definitely love to see this touched up at some point, and it was cool reading your experience with the jam in the description as well! Good luck mate :)
Thank you for the complement and more importantly the feedback!
I knew audio wouldn't be clean (I mean, I recorded all the sounds in like 5 mins running around with my phone and just raw grabbing anything that made sound) BUT, I will be redoing/cleaning up audio for sure. Hoping I get better at it with this project.
Good to know about the camera angles. Not the first to get some confusion out of them, and having to play one's game over and over again, you really can't have the perfect "new player" experience; you know how the system works under the hood. But I also have some things in my camera tool to maybe ease some of that. Just didn't have time to test them for the jam.
I'll try my best! And again, thank you!
I wasn't expecting that hehe. But I enjoyed it. I think this game has potential.
I was stuck in the first week, cuz I didn't realise at first that you can open the door at the bottom of the screen in the main room.
But I'm intrigued by the finale, hah.
Would be nice to see a continuation of this story.
Art style is really cool for the game jam game for sure!>
I would really appreciate it if you would check our game as well <3
I am grateful, thank you for playing! Very much just messing with things and, in spirit of the jam, trying not to worry about perfect and just see where it goes. There's probably some things I could do to help make navigating and interacting more clear post jam. Taking all the lessons learned with this one. I'd like to give this a little more polish and some more things to do later. No exact date when. A lot of code cleanup I want to do post jam before adding more content.
And now that I've had some recovery time after the jam (so tired), I will be going through the review que so I will definitely check your game out. Thank you for the feedback!
I like the character style, maybe the 3d model should make it just plane and texture to make character a part of it's own game
I was thinking of what would look better after the jam, I chose this direction due to the time constraint. Like a 3d character with the art in popups or some kinda cut scene or an overall 2d style. I know I've seen some games that handle the 2d/3d contrast pretty well and will probably look at those for some further inspiration . Thank you for the feedback!
Damn I almost abandonned on week 2, you sure know how to hide stuff !
I love the game, the camera view is quite cool event tho a little buggy near the door of the "poster room". Love the 3D ship/2D captain constrast as well as the plot twist.
I can clearly see the work behind this game. Respect :)
"I almost abandonned on week 2" - I am so sorry
I had an idea for some kinda assist tracker to help let you know where about to look, but had it on the cutting board if I ran out of time. ...I ran out of time. But thank you for playing and for the feedback! I wanna clean it up some post jam later, so quest and camera stuff is on the list
