Thanks again for taking the time to review!
About the only thing I’d like to note is the intro while I agree is too long, it only takes 6-10 minutes. The average player won’t be stopping for multiple minutes to talk about stuff like…
- Main menu functionality
- A non customized options menu
- A rant about prostitutes and Only Fans (funny)
- Discussing how detailed graphics aren’t as forgiving as pixel art
- Taking time to test the in-between animations.
- Taking time to see if each animation loops perfectly, and discussing it.
- Etc, etc.
I appreciate all the info, it was super helpful for me. But it takes a lot of extra time, as does reading it all out loud (as any good streamer should, no shade) and isn’t indicative of the average player’s experience. I actually ran through the whole game (multiple times on stream) but here was the last play through before release…
2:36:00 I click game.exe
2:42:04 Tinka stops talking on the second map.
3:49:30 Player is returned to the title screen after beating the prototype.
That’s about as fast as it can be done, at 6 minutes 4 seconds. Someone reading it can easily do it in 10 minutes. Though in an ideal world it should definitely be at most 4 minutes long, and skippable.
I’m definitely in agreement on everything else, I just didn’t want people thinking it really takes 30 minutes to do the intro.
