I guess I should set base default loudness off of a worst case scenario where the player's maxed out on their PC's speakers to minimize the risk of hurting someone's ears.

Yeah, animations are super awful place holders right now since I haven't worked out a decent workflow yet. I'd planned to have proper animations made in Blender and improved models as the big new thing for this DD, but sadly it's taking me longer to figure out the implementation than I'd hoped.

The lack of sprinting while airborne is an oversight on my part. Oops. 

What makes you want a higher default movement speed?


You start the real game/the enemies's AI by selecting a different game mode than "punching bags" under "enemy mode" in the mode select menu. The top left menu button should switch to "Begin Waves"  instead of "Begin Practice" or "Resume" to show it. If you mean "how do I start a real level", then sorry, there's just waves of barely-animated enemies in the one map.

You can skip the quitting animation by clicking "quit game" again. The animation is basically just a fancier "are you sure" popup with a timer. Although I ought to actually explain that somewhere in the game.


Oh, and thank you for playing!

Ah I get it. I think the UI flow could be improved when setting it up.

I recommend "Play" as a menu option, and when that's clicked all the right hand side options are shown. Then at the bottom below the options put the "Practice" or "Begin Waves" button (depending on what they selected).

I was having trouble finding the fun when playing. There's no indication when an enemy is about to attack, so it's unclear when to block or dodge. The moves don't seem to flow very well between each other, I would like a clear way to do combos. I guess there's more strong attack stuff I didn't bother to learn, so maybe it's laziness on my part.

I like the gameplay element of the orb, I think that makes for fun gameplay. But I need the camera to be able to be rotated faster so I can keep an eye on the orb. Looking forward to see where things go! Better animations will bring it to life IMO.

It probably needs to be split into two screens, really, the "new game" screen for switching game mode and the "gameplay options" screen for stuff like toggle sprint and camera modes.

>I need the camera to be able to be rotated faster

I assume you were using a game pad? Did you set sensitivity to max and it still wasn't high enough or did I hide the option too well by putting it in the audio/video screen?

>There's no indication when an enemy is about to attack, so it's unclear when to block or dodge

Are you having trouble telling if the enemy's in an aggressive state (red eyes/halo)? If so, did you play with halos on? Or do you mean the telegraphing on the attack animations are too short to react? Hopefully animations will also make things clearer here.

>Looking forward to see where things go!

Hah, yeah, me too. Thanks for taking the time to give me feedback like this.

Yessir

Honestly didn't even consider hunting for such an option.

I meant telegraphing. I didn't even think about the other stuff.

np!

Ah I see. The game pad camera controls are a little sluggish compared to the mouse with the same sensitivity and I haven't yet figured out how to split them, so you need to tweak the sensitivity a bit for it to feel good.


As for telegraphing, the attacks themselves are intentionally a little fast to react to (although I think with sound cues it'll be much more doable). I think it works okay if you treat the enemies' approaching to attack range as part of the windup.
