Hey Alan,

i’m very proud to be assessed on the “Semi-professional” level your setting. So I want to bring some light on the points you mentioned and give my reflection. This is going to be fun!

The whole “You can’t play it again” is something i was on the fence with till the last minute. Its very brutal and totally not good game design. But i still wanted to add something meta-weird-bad design. One of my all favourite videogames is The Beginner’s Guide. I don’t know if you’ve played it but it’s great and you can see what i was going for. 

After seeing everyones response, i see its something i will remove from the game and change it into something else.

And yea you guessed it, the interface and all the assets that were used, were free on the marketplace. Soo yea, nothing self-made. It took a lot of time to adjust the plugins used for my game. 

I focussed too much on the ‘Style and Pizzaz’ and adjusting than on a good, functional escape room and great level design. 

I’ve watched alot of videos on visual language and i know exactly what it means. It’s something i should have seen coming, and where i didn’t put the amount of effort in it clearly needed.

I didn’t add the additional drawers because i was too scared it would become too cluttered and too confusing. It’s something that could have been easily fixed by some playtests.  

Thanks for the in-depth feedback, and thanks for putting in time to write it! 

It means alot that you like it. The whole “Not being able to try again” thing is a little bit meta that i maybe needed to explain more in the game. The game is like a memory of an event. The small story about the 2 yellow people in the house and the red gunman outside is the main event. You(The green man) decided to run away. You left the people in the house to fend off for them self. So the reason you can’t play the game again  is because like in real life you only have one try, and the green person was too slow to react. There is no faster time, because there’s no alternative. And the mean message after you try to play the game is like your ‘guilt’ saying to you that you f-ed up.

This might be a little bit too vague, and i really wanted to flesh out the story more. But yea i didn’t have enough time haha

Hey, could you by any chance send me the original 3d models (if you have them)? It would make it alot easier :D

Hey, is there anyway i could use these in Unreal Engine?
