Hello! Welcome to Feedback Quest 8! My name's Hythrain, a co-host and one of the streamers for this event! This feedback is being written live as I stream your game! If you're interested in seeing my live reaction, let me know and I can send you a link to the VOD once it's posted to YouTube!
So my normal approach for any game in these events is simple: I get the game, make sure it's not a virus, then play it with as little information on how to play as possible. This way, I can judge how intuitively someone can figure out the game. Only if it's obvious that I need to read more will I do so. I note this so you can get a sense where some of these feedback comes from. In addition, I want to note that feedback and rating are different; don't use this feedback to gauge what I'll rate, nor should you view my rating as entirely indicative of my feedback.
Ok. So... um... okay... apparently I made a very, very smart decision prior to playing this game. Anyway, this... is interesting. Wow...
I'll start by saying that this games could do with some graphics optimization. As I always tell people, Unreal Engine is difficult to optimize but it's always a good idea, especially if your game doesn't have graphical settings that can be changed. For context, I use an avatar in my FQ streams and I unfortunately had to turn it off for this game as the game uses just enough of my GPU to slow the avatar down.
I also think this game would really benefit from a map. It could be one that gets filled out as you drive through it, to help the player keep track of places where they met people and such.
I'd also recommend something in the bus to say when and where the next show is rather than needing to hit ESC to see it. In addition, I think that when you're driving around, there should be something to indicate to the player which direction there going.
Essentially, my ideas all revolve around memory related things.
Otherwise, this game is amazing. If there hadn't been another game to claim the title in my mind, this would absolutely be the best game of FQ8.
