This game has so much potential. If you can find a way to make the game more satisfying, first of all, make the vampire's falling speed increase with every kill, add a combo meter, fix hitboxes like the cross hitbox, which I think is a square hitbox because I keep landing on the edge of nothing, some platforms have a hunter on them, but when you land on them and kill them you still lose all of your spead because the platform is a bit too wide, i think that adding an upgrade system would be cool aswell like increasing max fall speed, or an upgrade that allows you to ignore platforms (go through them).
That is most of my suggestions; the other parts of the game where the lore is described and the addition of the settings to lower volume where a much needed addition, and the fact that the game actually knows what time it is where you are from is awesome. All in all, a great game in the making :+1:
Bob, thank you for taking the time to play and leave feedback, it’s given me some new items to work on.
I appreciate you calling out the cross hitbox. You 100% right, those blocks have always used simple square hitboxes, and back when the descent had broken crosses the remaining cross actually filled its square. When I brought back the full cross for the descent and saved the broken ones for the climb, I never rechecked that the cross no longer fills the box, so the corners are solid nothing. That one is at the top of my list. I’ll look into The wide platform catch too, killing a hunter and then eating a dead stop on his own platform does feel like getting punished for playing well. I’m going to tune that.
On the combo idea, the game already tracks your kill streak. You can see it today in the vampire’s teeth, which get bigger and bloodier with each chained kill, but it’s a split second flash and easy to miss. Putting a real meter on it is a great shout. And glad the moon landed for you, that one was a labor of love.
The cross hitbox is next in line and will definitely be included in the next patch.
Out of curiosity, which age did you dive, and did you make it to the crypt?
