Hey, thanks again for playing Dawnfall on stream, watching someone go in cold was really useful, so I owed you a proper go at yours :)
The art got me first, those cardboard cutouts look weirdly real, like someone actually built the set and took a photo of it. And it teaches itself as you go, I never had to stop and work anything out, I just kept up with the show.
Best bit for me was noticing my own muscle memory kick in. Partway through I was hitting all 4 lights without thinking about where they were, and that’s when the lighting guy thing really clicked, you’re not the one on stage, you’re the one making the show work.
One thing I wasn’t sure about, once I had the 4 spotlights with the biggest light I could just put all 4 out on the stage and kind of coast from there. Could easily be that I wasn’t playing it right, but if not, difficulty tiers might be a fun option for the post jam version, something that keeps making you move the lights around instead of parking them.
Also had my hand end up above the sound board at one point and had to restart, looks like a couple of other people ran into that one too.
What was the most difficult part in making the game?
