I'm working on Super Convergence now, and I have some more thoughts.
1. I love the text. Unlocking the first star in the Azure River, I got "THE ANTI-CREATOR: we have confirmed the nature of the antagonist" and I was locked in. That, combined with the slow fade and the cooling sun I'd already read about from the other two "first stars" . . . I mean. There was no way I could leave without finding out what it was all about. The data in the stars is all great, but that one moment was impeccable.
2. that said, the stars start to feel "cheap" pretty quickly. Unlocking a whole constellation in one convergence takes a lot of the impact out of the story for me; I lost the experience of asking "what does this [DATA CORRUPTED] say? Between this phrase and the next?" -- I could just find out. Immediately.
3. after devouring the whole story, I'm now left to babysit the engine for several days in order to get the Super Convergence. There's nothing left to discover. There are no more upgrades. The flashbang is used up. I would've liked a slower burn.
4. I would've liked to make the text bigger and turn off the glow effect. It was a bit hard to read as-is. EDIT: wahoo! I discovered you can turn off the glow by turning visual effects to "low" :D
5. running this game makes my PC get extremely hot. Like I said in my earlier comment, I don't know how much can be done to lighten that load -- but anything you can do, in that area, wouldn't go amiss.
6. more details about how each upgrade was affecting my production and consumption rates (and the amount of Light I'd get by converging) would've been hugely appreciated. "Base rate, x2 from [upgrade], x1.5 from [other upgrade], total," sort of thing.
7. I very much wish the automatic pip allocation would take pips out of white when it was full. Would stop using pips for any light that's both full and bereft of "downstream" nodes sucking stuff out of it. That would make it a lot more efficient to get up to full Resonance points.
I've ended up being quite critical, I think. I want to emphasize that I love every data entry. My biggest wish is just that I could find more lore crumbs . . . like, the shattered remnants of a planet? I don't know. I just want to read more.
