Hey Farnoway !

How are you? My name is Ilias.

I tested your game, "✶ Freedom In Nowhere ✶"

_______________________________________________________________

Simplistic colored choices can results into nice and coherent content when properly executed !

_______________________________________________________________

At the begining the loading screen takes to much time , i think it's a unity bug (if u used unity ) , many other jammer had it too on their game entries .

Runner Games can be fun and nice memories !!

_______________________________________________________________

Questions:

Did you implement any optimization techniques, or did you choose to use only in-engine optimizations?

What engine and tools did you use to create your game, including the graphics?

How challenging was it to develop your game? Did you face any significant obstacles?

What inspired your game idea and gameplay? Could you share the story behind the game's name?

How did you get into video game development?

_______________________________________________________________

Note: It would mean a great deal to me if you could rate my game. If you haven't already, feedbacks from friends and fellow gamers is valuable to me. Thank you in advance for your consideration and your time.

Thanks!

Ilias.

Hello, Ilias, and thanks for playing Freedom in Nowhere!
I used the Godot Engine as well as Aseprite for my game, and because of its simplicity, I didn't require any kind of optimizations. The only thing that was difficult for me was to make the attacks 'sync' to the music, but at the end, I think it turned out pretty good! I started game development a couple of years back with a small game, and from there on, I have expanded its universe; this game is part of it. Regarding aspects of the game such as the name, and gameplay, they just popped out in my head! There is no hard explanation for that, heh.

I have played your game before, yes, but unfortunately my computer can not run it that good, therefore, I can't rate it properly. I do have one question for you though: What is the reason behind all your games being called "A Little Thing Made out Of Clay"? Whatever the anwser is, I bet it's interesting!

Hey again Farnoway,

From your experience, is Godot easy to learn? Does it have visual scripting for non-super coders?

And was the 10-day timeframe for the jam enough for you to develop your game, or were you forced to set aside some mechanics that you originally wanted to include at first?

Oh, unfortunately, I need to improve my computer too. I have an old one, not as performant as I want. I can't do with it what I truly want to make—too many crashes and too much lag. I need to find a new machine as soon as possible.

Well then, for the rating, no worries. Thank you for taking your time to check my game; it's much appreciated!

As for the name, 'A Little Thing Made Out of Clay,' it is a full game (maybe a series) that I intend to develop. Actually, I've already started. When I participate in game jams, I try to have the playable characters made from the ideas I already have for 'A Little Thing Made Out of Clay.' In that way, all the interesting mechanics I create in the game jams will be implemented in the full game too if properly executed.
