This clip shows the gameplay slice I’d like to turn into a small, playable demo.
The goal isn’t content, but feel: movement, chaos, and whether the setup matches the tone shown in the videos.
Before committing resources, I’d love feedback:
– Does this feel like the right first playable slice?
– Is there a different moment you’d rather try as a demo?
Curious to hear what you’d want to play first.
From my perspective, starting with a basic level could be perfect to establish the movement and tone early on. I also think including a boss fight as part of the demo could add some excitement and showcase the game's mechanics on a bigger scale. Overall, this seems like a solid first step, and I’m excited to see how it evolves. Looking forward to following your progress!
Thank you for your comment, that’s really helpful to hear!
I like the idea of using a “simple” level as the entry point and then escalating into the boss too to show the mechanics. That’s pretty much the balance I’m trying to test with the demo if I can get it done: whether the movement and chaos feel good before things get big.
Out of curiosity, during a demo like this, what would you personally want to feel first: – how movements work, or – pressure from enemies /obstacles/ the level boss?
Also, would you rather the boss appear as a surprise at the end, or be teased earlier so you’re running toward something you know is coming? (In this case is running behind you when you then have to avoid his attacks at some point)
Thank you again and feel free to give me a follow if you want for further updates on dev!
