Thank you so much Bastion for trying out our game!
Means a lot to us, really loved the genuine feedback that you gave during the video.

Also for the getting stuck part,
it was issue related to our techniques to prevent players from going out of bounds in our game as you could understand xD

Thanks & Regards

Obviously, I see you guys are talking about camera issue and I also encountered that. With the keyboard, you really only have 8 directions for movements and that is really frustrating. I also got stuck between rocks for a couple of time before I quit playing. (see attached image)

Other than that, I love the low polygon style and how you abstracted your little astronaut to with the polygons. The game looks and sounds really nice.

We have fixed the camera issue, you can play the second version now. Thanks for your valuable feedback, we will keep those points in mind.

Thank you for checking out our game! :)
Apologies for the bad gameplay experience, due to which you had to quit our game.

Note: The Camera issue was in the initial build, and I believe we can make small fixes to our build if it really makes a huge difference in terms of overall game and that's we released a new build with fixed camera.

Post Submission Changes:
1. Changed the settings of Cinemachine Camera, to fix the camera issue that everyone was facing.

2. Changed the light settings to fix the light seeping through mesh bug.

These are the only changes that we made, as they were kind of small (only some values were changed) and were affecting the gameplay experience by large.

Thank you everyone for playing our game and giving us your valuable feedback!

I think the setting and atmosphere were really great! The camera was a little clunky at times though but overall a great effort!

PS: Apologies for the camera problem

Thanks for your feedback, we are working on our camera issue.

Very interesting game.

I liked the custom models, and the cutscenes that you included were a nice touch.

A couple of simple issues, though.

The camera was very restrictive, which didn't really allow for me to take in the scenery. I also would have liked to be able to explore more of what the map had to offer. While I was being led through the map, I figured that it would take me to see the other areas.

Some more technical problems that I found though were the light seeping through mesh edges, which can be fixed in the light's settings. The movement was also too slow and the camera focused too low down.

Again, however, the game was really enjoyable and I loved the post-processing. I even went back and tried to get out-of-bounds.

Good luck in your future game-development endeavors. :)

The graphics and music created a really nice atmosphere in the game! It was a really pretty visual novel.

Yuna and the Moonstealers

Thanks ☺️ 😊

Great atmosphere and graphics. As a suggestion you should increase the max x rotation for the camera and if you're using cinemachine there's a way to offset the camera so it won't track the bottom of the model.

3D games are stronger together! o_o

Robo astronauts vs Amonguys

Thank you so much for playing!
I will surely look into that camera suggestion, as many people don't like the camera positioning and it's kind of problematic in the current version.

The camera was too low for my taste. Very good graphics and nice music!

Submitted

Studios UtopianDeveloper4 years ago(+1)

Thank you so much for playing!
I will try to fix that camera issue as soon as possible as almost everyone doesn't like this camera ;)

octobassSubmitted4 years ago(+3)

Pretty graphics, I liked the world!

I got a bit lost looking for the cave, but I found it eventually :)

Maybe camera could be a bit less close to player.

Overall very cute and relaxing game!

Fun little walking simulator, loved the cutscenes and the post-processing effects. Wish the camera had been a little more pulled out, or in first person; the environment seemed cool and the entities seemed cool, but I couldn't really look around and the camera often clipped into the environment because of the angle. Other than that, loved the visuals and the story!
