The new version is pretty good:
- Lighting looks better, you can see numbers on the wall with the lights on 10x better than before. Power mechanic is good, but definitely needs more depth than just flipping a switch once.
- Lockers are more useful, but still not that useful to be honest, even though the interactions with Saiko related to lockers give me spine chills. The risk doesn't outweight the reward, running away then sneaking is safer and is almost always guaranteed to work.
- New model for the player is good, i'm glad we're not a floating key anymore.
- New slash attack is great, but the game becomes too forgiving if she doesn't stab you. Saiko needs to hit you 20 times in order for you to die. You can even hug her if you want, it will take a while to die due to her attack cooldown. Definitely keep the mechanic in, but incorporate it better alongside stabbing.
- Cameras are a nice addition, but since you need a computer to use them, you rarely get any use out of them. Maybe let the player use a phone or something to check cameras?
With that said, there's one major issue i have with the new build, and it's framerate. I have a Nvidia 1060 with a i7-4770 3.4GHz processor and 12gb of ram, and when i flip the power switch, framerate goes from 120-150 to 40-75.
Make sure that lights are not loaded if you're not physically capable of seeing them (for example, no need to load lighting from different classroms if you're in a classroom already). Same with screens that have camera vision on them.
Other than that, this is a great build and the game is coming along very nicely, keep up the good work.
