This is amazing, full stop. Are you using MoCap for the animations or just hand animated? My only complaint is the size of the subtitles being ultra small on a 4k monitor, even at 40"
Visuals are really good! Battle system is a little on the confusing side. There seem to be a rotation system for the player and a row system for the enemies that fit on a grid but the grid/rows aren't visually easy to make out. The tactical system, once the positioning scheme is understood, is great for tacticians, especially when the cast has a wide array of abilities. Maybe I'm just a poor tactician, but I never managed to hit more than one enemy at a time.
The level with the rebounding harps was pretty hard to navigate because I would accidentally bounce off them instead of changing their notes. The background music got a little in the way of trying to hear the correct notes so I ended up turning it down.
When bumping into the walls the player seemed to stop in place rather than slide against them. I mostly only noticed it when bumping into doors. It could be that I'm just too used to frictionless contact.
Love the graphics and the overall atmosphere built here. The collision was a little bit sticky for both the player and the pickups but serviceable regardless.
Love the 3d art design. Seems like all ZBrush sculpts? Serious skill.
Performance is a little bit rough even on a beast machine. In Unity you can mark all non-moving objects as Occludee Static and all large platforms/walls as Occluder Static. You can also mark all those same non-moving objects as Batch Static. That will likely help with most of your performance problems. If you want to dive 5x deep you can also go into baked lighting. It will bloat your file size if uncontrolled but your framerate will improve. There are many ways to improve framerate, that's just two of them. Good luck on your future developments!
I streamed this in a Discord and we all agreed the visuals are absolutely wonderful. The platforming is also super tight controlling and I really enjoyed that.
