that can happen if you tested a tile you already tested, but I'm not aware if that mechanic is bugged! I'll test a little and see if I manage to replicate that
i'd love to make an mmo with this thematic... the game was kinda inspired in the feel i get from some mmos! yeah, the jester suit had some culling issues, it's not Wine :-)
Thanks you so much for such a long and detailed comment! I'm considering the things you said a lot. I liked how the lack of up/down angle made me feel when replaying the game, so I experimented with it in the expanded/remade version to allow the player to have a better angle while still restricting them a little.
About the walking speed, I increased it for the expanded version and added a way to fly faster horizontally after collecting enough orbs to "level up", which advances the growth of the wings (another feature). Also, since the new map is bigger, I had to tweak the gravity, flying and jump height a lot to make controlling the fairy more dynamic and comfortable! The fairy feels a lot lighter, maybe like a bug would.
I know what you mean when you say you are a masochist gamer, haha. A lot of my game design choices come from the idea that part of the experience also comes from learning to handle "jank" or mechanics that work in a very specific and not intuitive way. I enjoy those things in games so I often add them consciously. Of course, I always expect people to criticize them and I think that's valid and helps me understand better what I want to keep and what I want to improve/make less tedious.
Thanks a lot for this, it always helps me move forward and like what I do!
omg! thanks a lot for this, it made my day! really good criticism and great points. I will make sure to implement coyote time in the expanded/remade version (i'm really used to it too, but had no time to add it or didn't think of prioritizing it)
also I loved the fact that you managed to break the jump/fly mechanic! that's impressive and I had no idea it was a thing
and yeah, silk is definitely the denim of the fairy world
thanks a lot! it was meant to be slightly unsettling, but still allowing for a chill experience :) I'm working on expanding the project in the future, with a focus on leaning on those types of vibes (the unsettling ones)
woah! thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, this will help a lot! I wasn't aware of the deadzone issues, I think I'm using default deadzones that Unity has configured !
I totally understand what you mean about not really telling if a bug has been opened or not from the distance, it happened to me while testing but it was too late to make changes.. I'll make sure to fix that one if I end up expanding the game!
thank you so much!! i thought about letting the player look up/down, but decided to leave it out to experiment and ended up building everything with that limitation in mind.. my main focus was making it feel like a chill exploration game, inspired by my experience with a game called Tchia, so I love that it was chill <3
thanks so much! I'm glad you like it :D I wish I had more time to polish and extend the game more, but I think I'm happy with the result :) also, thanks so much for writing about it, you made my day!
regarding the issues you talked about, I originally intended the game to be played with one stick or the d-pad (preferably with the later, since having the joystick be used to walk and rotate can get tedious) Thanks for mentioning that, I might add controls for rotating with the right joystick in a future update, and fix the door interaction issues!
Sorry, I forgot to add the interaction button to the control guide for playing with keyboard! You can interact with the strange figure pressing the F key :)
hey! Just played a little bit of it and I must say it's really fun! I like how dynamic and juicy every action feels, and how mechanics are introduced with enemies :) I played with both mouse and controller, and found out that the controller makes it way easier to shoot than the mouse! it gets difficult relatively quickly, but not in a frustrating way... I think it's a prototype worth expanding and can get really addictive
I like this type of slower, more tactical shooter! Lots of stuff to do, and I love its immersive sim aspects. The vibes are great. I love the scenery, reminded me of some indie shooters I used to play when I was a kid... The movement speed may be too slow for me.
