a video is going out Friday morning but for a playable horror game, I don't have a definite answer unfortunately. for early-release game testing stuff, I should probably have both regular and lightweight versions, right?
I think having both versions seems to be a good idea, because if someone would play the regular version and have a bad performance on it then they would have an option to switch to the lightweight version, however wouldn't it also be a good idea to make a single universal version that has best of both ? (if it's possible)
Why? Well i don't have any game dev experience so my opinion is based solely on my thoughts but i still want to share my opinion because it may be helpful
so, imo making a single universal version of the game is a good idea, because i think it may be better and more time efficient for the long run than - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(i'm assuming that you'd make the regular version first and then make the lightweight version)
- > making the regular version first and then the lightweight version of it
because for example updating a single universal version would be probably faster and perhaps easier
than in the case of updating the regular and lightweight versions because if my assumption is correct you'd first have to update the regular version then make a lightweight version of it.
I'll be looking forward to watching your new video
Would you consider ever adding multiplayer? Me and my friends really like the game but we can't play it together. I feel like multiplayer would be a really cool thing to include!
I found a bug. You can jump through the wall at the start because not only they lack spikes, they also lack invisible walls. Going back to the main menu fixed the bug. Also here's me talking to Munci outside the gates.
This game for me so good , I'm actually terrified of some faces I recognize as a kid. Love the creep factor and the fact you have to listen to the radio the entire time makes it so scary. I really tried but I'm happy with just 1 pinecone I got as a gift 😂
Well, I had a really fun time playing this game. Very a unique game and an amazing idea involving the next bots. This is how it should be played with the next bots.
Hi there, did you click on "more info" and "run anyway" isn't listed as an option? If so, I would recommend downloading the itch app and installing the game through there (similar to Steam) https://itch.io/app
Download doesn't work for me, Tried 3~4 times and it seems to always terminate at like 147 ish MB into the download (1.0.2 Windows 538 MB)
I have been on a Itch.io downloading spree, downloaded like 16 games and this is not only the only one to fail once, but it fail three times so I am thinking MAYBE I am not the problem
Definitely nothing on my end, however, I would recommend you try out itch's desktop app if you're having issues and not already using it. It's similar to Steam and I thought it worked quite well when I tried it: https://itch.io/app
this is a pretty great game ngl, I have some couple suggestions/ideas:
Maybe add a nextbot that can get you in the safe zone if you go AFK (without pausing) for too long I.e. 10 or 5 minutes
Add some tips for new players, like in shift 1. or for when you get killed or the game is loading, add a tip like: "Keep an eye on the warning indicator when you hear noises other then an Munchi is calling for help."
Maybe make it a bit more obvious the radio doesn't work in safe zones since some players didn't see the message that shows up for only like, 2 seconds.
(This is unlikely to happen but) Add difficulty levels for the game, so you can select a different difficulty for each nextbot.
Great suggestions, I think these are good notes. Having more clear and more often reminders on the mechanics/tips in a non-obstructive way is definitely something I've learned going forward.
I've gotten several suggestions for difficulty customization and having a customizable experience for those who want more enjoyment out of the game is definitely something I'll be adding to my next game!
I think I'm content with the flaws of this game (at this point, it's not worth the effort adding more stuff/fixes instead of making a new, better game). I think you'll really enjoy my next game!
