>I just don’t understand anything about it. Lol. Like I said, I never dealt with Tamagochi in life. I also don’t get why you have a pet at all and how it’s related to the gun. I mean, it DOES seem cool.
You can see, I was in the feeding menu, I believe, a couple times, and I was spamming Enter, but that is the wrong button. So maybe Enter could also work, as it doesn’t seem to do anything else in that menu.
Gotcha'. I don't think I set up the Enter key to do anything yet, but I should set all my confirmation controls to use it in the future. And yeah, at some point I'll start adding in story to make it clear on how the Tamagotchi ties into the story (which it does, heavily). When I get to the point where things are more polished I'll start adding in some sort of tutorial as well so people who are not familiar with Tamagotchis will not be out of the loop.
>But "not really getting the controls -> dying inexplicably -> immediately quitting" is the 90% pattern I have observed in demo players myself. I believe the way that games usually handle this is, they would give infinite amount of time for feeding the first time, and it would also unlock a door to move on. If you get what I mean.
Understood. I'll keep this in mind when I build out this first level more and try to turn it into kind of a tutorial/learning area for the player.
