Die Musikwahl war leider etwas unpassend (zu chillig). Das Lied aus dem Trailer wäre für das Gameplay besser gewesen.
Sonst lief alles ohne Probleme und der Artstyle war richtig gut und war stimmig.
Sehr flüssig und mir gefällt der Voxel look. Die Steuerung ein bisschen umbauen, dass es am Handy geht und ich würde es zwischendruch mal spielen.
I loved playing the game. The trailer itself was just so pure and awesome. The voxel style really has its own charm and the reversed roles of good and evil give the game a fresh feel. This would make one hell of a fairy tale!
The game itself is fine. But sorry to say that - the gender selection killed it for me. Game industry makes big efforts to create female role models that are differentiated and complex - as counter model how female characters were represented in earlier days in gaming industry. Also the LGBT community plays a role in gaming economy and getting more attention by growing events that support LGBT - or were organized by LGBT. Better keep this in mind.
Nowadays you should avoid making those mistakes. Making a gender differentiation based on "female is pink" is part of an oldschool sexism and is highly disrespectful. Bringing a gender differentiation in a game that does not need it (a red dragon is pretty neutral) shows that this act was intended. So it comes along like a very bad joke.
Better make a simple color selection instead (like "Having a choice of 6 uncommented colors"). You hurt no one by doing that and this can highlight your game (comparing it to Yoshis Island where you play Yoshi in 8 different colors).
I am sry to hear that, that certainly wasn't the idea. We purposly wanted to have a differenciation between two playable characters.
We went for pink and red. There were even toughts of including a choose your partners sex (so you can play f/f m/m aswell. But it would have made the menu more complicated.
This is Simply a color choice, if you got offended by that, I can not change that. But I appologize.
I did read both of your comments. I also will relate to that.
Sometimes my words are harsh. That is not a favourable part of my character. I am sorry for that.
I appreciate that you discuss this issue and think about it. And don't get me wrong. It is not about my feelings. This topic is about you. Releasing a game is equal to publish a statement. Unknown people will see that, think and judge about that. The question you have to face is - do you want to be seen this way? You are the dev. You are responsible for any statement you make - even if it is not intentional. And it is not just a simple color choice. "Play as a Female" is pretty direct.
The game itself has real potential. It is worth polishing it and release it as a mobile game. Games in these genre have a good chance to get played very much on smart phones. That is my opinion about what you did develop. But a higher user range will lead to a higher responsibility. And unhappy things might strike back.
It is just an advice. Finally it is your choice. I wish you all the best.
Finde ich gut. Pinkscale und Firebolt lassen eure Erzählung auch gleich lebendiger wirken. Was man unter "Couple" verstehen will, ist dann einem selbst überlassen.
Kleine formale Anmerkung:
Einmal ist es "Play as a ..." -> impliziert, dass man einen bestimmten Drachentypen/-gattung spielt.
Dann "Play as ..." -> impliziert, dass es um einen Drachen namens "Firebolt" geht.
Ist keine Kritik. War mir nur aufgefallen, weils unterschiedlich ist. Wenn ihr eure Geschichte genau so erzählen wollt, dann 👍
Jou Danke, das "a" hab ich bereits raus gelöscht war ein Überbleibsel
Really cute concept and well crafted visuals! Great game jam entry.
