What a wonderful comment to read! I’m incredibly grateful you played the demo and enjoyed your experience! I’m still working hard on the full game and will continue to update the progress here!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it gave a bit of peace in your day. I'll continue updating the progress here and announce when I have the full game ready for release!
Thank you for that! Did you notice any severe FPS drops when you played the demo? I didn't really notice much on my hardware but I know I didn't really spend much time optimizing anything. I will say, I'm struggling a lot with using anything other than lumen for the game. Since I built it around lumen, going back and attempting to bake with the current textures I'm using is turning out to be quite frusterating, haha.
I may just keep the game as is utilizing lumen and just attempt as much optimization as I can. In future games, I will have to build with different lighting in mind.
It's kinda crazy to see it happening. What started as a "what if" is slowly becoming "it's happening". Thanks for the kind words and motivation Struthy!
Thank you so much for the compliment! Making the music for my game is probably my favorite part of the whole process. I will definitely create an OST for the game when I release it and I can also look at offering the level music for the demo as well.
I just posted another response on your channel! I can't thank you enough for taking the time to put together your video for my game demo. This was such a treat to wake up to this morning. As I said on your youtube, I hope you come back and continue checking out the game as I progress it. My goal is to have around 2 hours of liminal exploration, fun interactions and most importantly, lots of slides with a satisfying SPLOOSH at the end. Haha!
Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed review. I hope you know how much this means to me!
The running/foot steps issue has been a tough one to fix. But I have been working on it all morning and I believe it's at a good spot now. Now while running, the footstep sounds are quicker which makes it feel much more accurate.
I will also work on the end of the slide animation. I also want a nice fast SPLOOSH when finishing. I may add a splash/camera shake in addition to adjusting the speed curve to make the whole exiting the slide more realistic (and fun!)
The pools in the first big room can definitely be accessed with a little help from a chair....:P
The dresser drawers were not made to open but I can look into adding some interaction with that object other than just picking it up and throwing it around, haha.
The [REDACTED] in that room may or may not do something when you investigate the matching color area in that room........ :o
We may revisit the rocky area and other outdoor areas in future levels.
Again, I really appreciate the time you took to play and review my game. I can't wait to expand on it and deliver something really fun!
Hey hey! As a huge minecraft/terraria fan I loved your demo. Your artstyle is also very visually pleasing. I'm very impressed!
Along with being a gamer, I'm also a music producer and noticed you didn't have audio. I would love the opportunity to talk with you more about getting some eFX or sountracks into your game! You can check out my website at: www.ilyandilymusics.com and I also have a youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@ilyandilymusic
I have worked with other game developers in the past and you can see some of the unreleased works on both my site and youtube. Hope to hear from you soon! You can also email me directly at: ilyandilymusic@gmail.com
I loved playing this game this morning! I love the vibe and art style and the game play is unique. I was trying to find a direct contact for you so if you have one please let me know.
I noticed the sounds you use are free and attribution only. I'm very interested in working with you on soundtrack and sound design! If you would like to talk further please reach out to ilyandilymusic@gmail.com
Either way, I can't wait to see more out of this game!
