It's fun but requires a bit of polish, I would like a run option or a faster walking speed.

How does your game fit the theme?
The resources you need to survive are deep in a cave Additionally you have an AI chip that is digging deeper into your body giving you boost
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all the code was written by Couda and M, the Graphics by Damdee, and the Audio by IDKBuddy. We all worked as a team on this project.

We're glad you tried our game :D
We talked about adding sprint, but we wanted to add to the horror element, so removing it was a design choice. To make up for it we also made the map small.
This was a very cool take on the theme - looking out the window at space felt very real, and so did landing and dropping into a mine, the atmosphere was also nicely creepy and sci-fi-esque. I have a few suggestions:
- The voiceover felt a little funny in comparison to the tone of the game, perhaps going for a more serious tone and adding a radio filter effect could add value to the game.
- I recommend adding a container for your dialogue UI/bottom bar - because white on white makes it unreadable at times (attaching a picture below)
- Sometimes in the mine I felt a bit directionless, it might be an idea to add checkpoints like lighting up torches on the way, at times I didn't know where to go and couldn't be guided by visual cues or lighting as I was relying on my flashlight.
Thanks for the cool game!

This is among the better of the feedback we've recieved (Aside from ones about major bugs which havesince been patched).
- I didn't really think of adding a container, but it will be something I will do.
- The voice over, I agree, is a bit funny, so I think we may tweak it, because we still want to give the player the idea that it isnt a horror game at the beginning, while also more closely matching the genre.
- And for the direction, once the player reaches "Level 2" AI, you should see holographic footprints, but there is a bit of jumbled code and it sometimes doesnt display correctly - something that needs to be patched.
Thank you for taking a look at our game!
Sorry for the late response... Im glad you enjoyed our game!
As for the caves they were made in blender, using simple sculpting techniques.. that is pushing and pulling the mesh around with dynamic mesh on, just tweaked it untill i got a somewhat natural look. Once i was happy with the mesh i textured it using texture painting and a stencil in blender as well.

Hey thanks for the criticism, I must have forgotten to change the filter mode on some texture, would you mind telling me where you saw it so i can fix it for the future?
Im glad you enjoyed it and found so few problems with it as a week was never enough to make a game with no problems, so this is a first :)
