very interesting concept ive not yet played it but if it interests me enough ill play it on my channel to help with your exposure
ive played it. ill feature it in my channel this week and will post the vid here if you want. ive only got a 300 sub count but hopefully at least a few of my subs check it out!!
fun game. as with all physics games its a little glitchy ill tell u some issues i ran into. over all i like the simple concept and i am a fan of games like this
move speed too slow for mouse controls: because i dont know how well it plays with a game pad i cant say weather the move speed is different between the two how ever in my short play through i found it easy to jump around rather than walk. the mouse sensitifty could use some work as well.
grabbing an item dosent always work: with the days being quite short its important to be able to grab an item and not have it drop from ur hands a hundred times. i found it hard to find the hit boxes. as another note i feel that the days are far too short. working with physics can be hard theres just not enough time to stack things together they flip about and move far too much. might i sujest that when u pick up an item it locks in place then u can rotate it with the arrow keys and or the D pad.
slight bug: i was moving a solar panel above my head and i dropped it on my head. it stuck me to the ground and i was unable to move until i could maneuver the solar panel off my head. right after i was free from the panel hell bent on holding me to the ground and drowning me i thought i was victorious come to find out having a solar panel on ur head sometimes disables the jump ability when i realized i was unable to jump i just walked into the see pirates of the Caribbean style
all in all even with the little annoyances here and there its a good game. runs smooth had no lag at all. i hope u continue working on this project. and if u have any others i will check them out. keep up the good work.
Hey thank you so much for the feedback! Please do post a video here.
I know exactly what you mean with the grabbing - there is actually a delay which is probably a bit too long before it registers that you want to grab an object. This was to simplify the controls so you can use left click for inspect and also grab. We wait a certain amount of time before grabbing to see if you release (for inspect). Anyways - I will shorten that a bit and see if that improves it for people.
I wanted to keep the settings simple, but I think I will add a move speed/mouse sensitivity option in the menu for people.
Regarding day length, I didn't really know what would be ideal for people, but I will try adding another 45 seconds to it and see how well it goes.
Keep an eye on my dev log as there should be an update with these changes later today or tomorrow.
