THANK YOU!! This is such good feedback. I want to just start by saying, yea the game mode isn't wonderful haha. I am not a 3d modeler and I spent so much time making models for the island and main character and all the random stuff in the game so it wasn't just primitives.
"I'm sure you can make Fullscreen a default option, and native resolution to be default." You have no idea, this was LITERALLY the next bullet point on my list of fixes for this jam, but I didn't have time to implement it. Seriously, it was the NEXT thing on the list lol. I thin that makes a big difference on the look.
"A hit must be telegraphed most, so it probably must start with a slowly accelerating swing itself." I like this! My windup has deceleration to make it start fast then slow down, I think adding it to the release of the attack is a good idea.
Overall, I really do appreciate all the effort you put into my game <3 This hoard mode was made for the jam and is not representative of what the game will be. It is not balanced, honestly it's not even very fun lol. It's more fun to just duel your friends, which is what the core of the systems had been built around in the first place, and I adapted those systems into a PVE mode for the jam. Honestly, my goal is not to win this jam or anything, it was to have a reason to grind out an actual chunk of a real looking game to see what I could produce in the short time and start getting actual feedback. Again, I can't thank you enough for trying it out!
