Hopefully loading will be a bit better in next update. It's very reliant on disk speed as it loads data from disk into memory on startup.
Yeah there are a lot of keys and i haven't put much time into making the game easy to understand yet.
Will hopefully be better once i make a tutorial and add some hints on how to do different things.
Thanks for taking the time to try it out! :)
Oh believe me, I enjoy giving my two cents. I'm just an un-official game reviewer. one of my friends told me about these kind of games and having been reviewing other games and giving good honest feedback on normal games, he told me to review these types. he said my reviews give a good picture of what to expect and a couple of DEVs actually considered my feedback which was very surprising. in truth I rather enjoy it, Ive tried some very janky to really good games.
gotta say, even in its early stages, your title is quite promising and I'm very excited to see its positive outcome. If you like I can drop my email and we can talk ideas like allowing controller involvement for those that dont like keyboards haha.
As for the harddrive speeds, the odd ball thing is I have an NVM m.2 so the read/write speeds are exceptionally high, and with 32 gbs of 3200mhz of RAM and a 4.2ghz CPU 8 cores, I figured it would go much quicker. maybe the game engine though if Im not mistaken, its using a unity engine? not sure didnt catch it. if it is unity, their pretty quick booting so it may just be a coding situation
Appreciate any feedback you have. Very hard to see the faults yourself when you are so deep in creating it :)
Controller support might be something i consider after release but it is actually surprisingly challenging to implement properly, especially without compromising on the movement for mouse+kb players (typical floaty movement in console ports etc).
That's strange regarding the hard drive speed. But i have done a lot in the next version to reduce start-up times. Was a case of referencing unnecessary amounts of stuff loading more things than what should be loaded. Still lots of room for improvement but did eliminate some obvious stupidity in the code :D
Its Unreal Engine btw :)
sorry, meant unreal haha i had the name on the tip of my tongue but couldnt think of it.
also I can understand your meaning, as a creator verses player, many ideas can come hand in hand. this of course you would know being a DEV. Im truly excited to see whats in store with the game. I saw its basically set in mythical times, werewolves, drakes, and so on. Im hoping to see lamia/nagas or even a centaur. now the protagonist. will it only be female or will there be a male version as well?
as for other ideas, I got plenty but I dont wish to be rude and step on a wonderful devs toes, youve been absolutely amazing chatting with me
Sadly no male protagonist planned for now as it would require reworking a lot of how the game works fundamentally. There has been a lot of requests for it so there does seem to be a big interest in it.
I might make sort of a mini game where you control a monster of your choice, but that would be after release, if it is ever done.
I always welcome ideas. No guarantees they will be implemented but fresh perspectives help me evaluate my current design and give inspiration for future designs :)
