Nice character artwork here! Hopefully this game will be fully realised, with a loading screen instead of long pauses and the inability to make your character appear invisible, of course.
Thank you so much, looking forward to developing this further in the future when I have the time! :) Unreal Engine doesn't take it lightly loading in levels when put onto web browsers sometimes haha
So beautiful, the colours, music and art direction is very strong so far! Love the 2.5D direction.
Only bit of feedback I have is that I do feel like the black / grey colours of the text and buttons in some of the other areas in the game bring the standard down just a touch. Would love to see some more consistency in the UI there!
I also noticed that when rotating the camera around in certain directions it can cause the player character to appear really thin and sometimes disappear entirely. Unsure if this was a stylistic choice but I wonder how it'll feel with the player character always rotates to face the camera in a billboarding manner.
Either way awesome work on the game! Hope to see a jump animation added in a future update. :D
Thanks for the feedback! It was unfortunate that me and the team didn't have much time to polish up in the UI design. We wanted to have the player be able to see the back and front of the character in-game and were hoping to implement a side profile when the player looked on the side of the character. I'm glad that you enjoyed Starmaker though, much thanks to the rest of the team for carrying this jam!
It's all good and totally understandable given the time given! You guys did a great job either way. :)
The art in this game blew me away it was awesome! I really liked the theming and lore too. It also felt great to move around in, especially running up the vines to drop over the branches, and falling from high up felt really immersive lol.
There is an issue where talking to someone unlocks the mouse, you need to left-click back into the game for anyone that had that issue.
I got stuck on a couple of sections not knowing I had to press E on a wall to make it disappear, but other than that it was great! Also having the player not be completely 0 width but instead a tiny bit of depth really sells that paper feel.
Overall well done! I had a lot of fun playing!
Thank you so much! It was unfortunate that some of the UI within the game magically disappeared along with a few bits of the code I had done to fix the mouse unlocking.
I'm glad that you loved the assets, couldn't have made this game without our powerhouse of an asset designer we had!
This is a beautiful game! This is one of those jam games that you hope gets expanded upon - I felt like there was a story here that I wanted to see fully realised :)
Good job and I hope you had fun with the jam!
Thank you so much! There were possible grander plans for the story going forward but we shall see. This was one of the more enjoyable jams so it was nice to see people liking it as much as I did!
