It's extremely technically solid for what it is, apart from the tearing I couldn't get fixed.
It's rather slow and quiet. The weapons are slow to switch from and can't be canceled swiftly, but the raw damage is great and just fucking demolishes things without questions. The pistol is reliable but not perfect and I like it! The ammo doesn't have ammo-saving tactical reloads which is cool.
This feels exactly like that Alien game on the PS2. It's nice and quiet and comfy and I really wish little small head crabs or face huggers would sneak around to really let that tension pay off, monster closets. spawn triggers... stuff like that. It's large (due to the speed) and the enemies are relatively sparse because of how bland and sterile the world feels. I feel like a monster stalking the halls and executing things, given that the initial spawn room has a lil' alien looking down at you before leaving :0
It's really solid and it works! I'm not sure why the renderer is over budget or why Unreal tried to compile your game into asking for internet access, but either way, it's certainly neat!
Also, if you ever want to, consider having checkpoints and forbidding the player from saving while they're dead and gone.
It's a solid and clean alpha, minus the obvious animation desyncs for the AR not wanting to interrupt itself to show a frame where the muzzle's hot for every bullet spent.
I would love to see if this turns into a faster boomer shoot, a quiet and slower tactical shooter, or a horror thing that swells tension before dumping it on your lap. The saving/loading's made so it's certainly coming along! I don't doubt you have plans and stories you would love to tell through this, so good work, and good luck coming to render in whatever you had planned decisively!
I feel like this is on the very cusp of becoming something neat. It's just missing that speed or more enemies that can overwhelm you or scare you by surprise, I wanna see what you'll do for Alpha 5! Keep care till then!
PS. plz add ambient ship noise or weird beeps, boops, or alien worble shorpls or creaking hulls whenever you can <3, also lights that cull when not in render whenever you can only if u wanna oki byeee <3
