Thanks, smexch!

Thank you so much for your comment, Phyy!

It's a big demo because the full game will be quite lengthy (I haven't calculated it yet, but it'll be around two hours, maybe more).

I'm aware that the demo has some spelling and grammar mistakes, but that's nothing to worry about anymore.

Hi, Julstar! Thank you so much for your feedback and for playing The Moon Has Faded Away: Demo.

I’d like to start with the topic of dialogues. There will never be a way to skip them, and that’s because The Moon Has Faded Away is told in a cinematic style, which is why there are so many cutscenes. It’s true that Alex's monologue is annoying, and I received a lot of criticism for it. It's something I’ve fixed (and something I’ve put into practice in my later games, as the demo for The Moon Has Faded Away came out two years ago).

As for the conversations between Alex, his sister, and his mother, that’s also something I’ve worked on improving, but at the same time, it’s something that can still feel "off" to some people. For example, the family dynamics in South America aren't the same as those in North or Central America, or even in Europe, etc. I tried to make it as realistic as possible, and we’ll see if I succeeded once the game is out.

Lastly, the door mechanics were changed a while back. Now, when the player interacts with a door, there’s a black transition with the sound of opening and closing, and then the player appears on the other side of the door. I feel it’s more comfortable this way.

Once again, I want to thank you for playing the demo, and I hope to see you again in the final version!

That's awesome!

Here's the gap:

Impressive!

This game has such a strong "Cry Of Fear" style and vibe that it hooked me instantly. I've played your other games, and I can say you’ve improved a lot. I admire your work, tayoDEV.

I don’t know if this was an oversight, though it’s understandable given the note at the beginning of the demo, but there’s a way to fall off the map (there’s a gap between some buildings without collision that allows for this bug).

Either way, this demo is incredible. Did you make the animations? If so, they’re amazing and really well done! I wish I could make them that smooth.

An incredible game, it's hard to believe it's free.

I absolutely loved everything, from the story to the graphic style. I genuinely admire you, Jordan. You are one of the few developers I admire so much on itch.io, truly an inspiration to me.

I hope to see more of your projects in the future. I'm sure you'll keep making better and better things each time. :)

Good game, Niven!

Once again, we're looking at a game that shows progress. I didn't encounter any bugs or anything like that, there were some scenes that made me laugh, the monster at the end was quite interesting, and the story was good.

I encourage you to keep going down this path, keep it up!

Impressive!

I was completely blown away by the game; I didn't expect the twist it took, and I loved how everything made sense in the end. The style of the game is utterly unsettling (in the best way possible), the few jumpscares it has are perfectly well done, and the story is brutal.

As a developer, I wonder how you made the animations look so... strange. It's something that added a lot of points, and I'm thoroughly impressed.

Excellent work, and I hope to see more from you (or your team) in the future!

Thanks, Hazzaween!

¡Muchas gracias! Estoy seguro de que el juego completo te volará la cabeza. :D

Thanks, Bobe!

It's something nostalgic since it's the first game I released here. Looking at it today and comparing it to my more recent projects, I feel I've improved a lot.

Anyway, when I release the full game, I think I'll be taking another step forward, and it will be another complete evolution.

Thank you so much for playing the demo, Yeena!

I'm glad you played another one of my games, and what better one than the first I released. "The Moon Has Faded Away: Demo" is already a few years old, and I know it has quite a few bugs, like the volume issue you pointed out in your video playing "Daniel's Nightmare". You shouldn't worry about that anymore, as the final version already includes that option.

I don't want to give a release date because I want to ensure the game is completely bug-free. Currently, the game will be released in a single build with language settings available within the game (normally there would be two builds with different languages), although that was what delayed me a lot.

But, with total certainty, the game will be available by the end of September or early October (which would be perfect).

Don't worry! The game will have original music, and I will try to include other languages (besides Spanish and English).

Thanks, FoShoShot!

¡Muchas gracias, MATHIAS_!

Me alegra mucho que te haya gustado la demo, el juego está en español porque soy argentino (al igual que tú, creo). Te deseo mucha suerte a ti también con tus proyectos, he visto tus juegos (y aunque considero que pueden ser muchísimo mejores en muchos aspectos), creo que hay algo que haces que he visto muy pocas veces en otros juegos de distintos desarrolladores, y es que sabes colocar muy bien los jumpscares.

Puliendo algunas cosas y manteniendo ese "factor terror" que tienes, podrás lograr muchísimas cosas. ¡Te animo a seguir!

¡Excelente juego, Crimsong!

Es bueno saber de ti después de tanto tiempo (escribo en español y no en inglés porque creo recordar que hablabas español).

No soy una persona claustrofóbica, por lo que no tuve muchos problemas con este juego por ese lado, pero debo admitir que la atmósfera que tiene es brutal. La sensación de estar inmóvil todo el rato y únicamente poder abrir y cerrar los ojos te hace sentir muy indefenso.

Tuve algunos encuentros con las entidades, aunque por suerte pude ganar el juego a la primera.

Te deseo mucha suerte en las Jams, ¡y sigue creando juegos, tienes un estilo muy interesante! :D

¡Muchas gracias por jugar la demo, Belrion!

Soy argentino, así que era infaltable que hayan subtítulos en español. De todas formas, en el tiempo que la demo salió, aún cometía errores de ortografía, espero que eso no haya molestado mucho.

¡Me alegra que te haya gustado! Falta muy poco para la versión final, estoy a full con eso. :)

Excellent game, Niven!

The theme was very good, the story is interesting (although a bit short), and I loved the inclusion of cinematics. The atmosphere was also very well done.

I found a few bugs that don't break the experience but should be considered to further improve future projects. Objects can be interacted with from very long distances, and some collisions in the environment were completely broken (in fact, I got out of the map, and if it weren't for the ceiling having no collision, I could have fallen into the void).

These details can be worked on and improved. I'm aware of that and your talent. Keep it up!

Since "The Raven" and "Daniel's Nightmare", the graphics options include an FPS limiter. You can set the game to 30 FPS, 60 FPS, or leave it without an FPS limit. This same configuration system is also included in "The Moon Has Faded Away".

He probado el juego y tengo que mencionar algunas cosas:

Es un juego bastante interesante, y más viniendo de ti como desarrollador (ya he jugado varios juegos tuyos y sé que tienes bastante potencial). En este caso en especial he notado muchísimas mejoras en cuanto a la atmósfera, sonido y diseño de niveles.

El jumpscare del monstruo me sorprendió bastante (aunque era muy predecible, pero de todas formas estuvo muy bueno). Algunas colisiones en el escenario estaban rotas (por ejemplo, sin querer me subí encima del auto) y que al presionar W+S, el personaje se queda completamente quieto, pero la animación de caminar se sigue reproduciendo.

Entiendo que este juego es un paso bastante grande, y hay muchas mejoras. Te animo a seguir por este camino, ya que puedes dar muchísimo más. ¡Ánimos!

Falta poco, le estoy poniendo muchísimas pilas. Pronto más información. :)

Great game! I found it quite interesting, although I spent most of the time looking for the book (which was too well hidden). I also noticed a couple of bugs that didn't hinder my experience much but did make me laugh (the player loses stamina while standing still and holding the shift key, or accidentally climbing some trees, giving a good view of the map).

And I got a good scare with the deer, and also at the final part when all the candles were lit (the sound almost gave me a heart attack). Great job, Niven!

Hi, James! I highly doubt that I can make an Android port of this game (or any that I've made before), because I've never developed a game for Android. Therefore, I don't know how to optimize a game like Daniel's Nightmare to run well on any Android device, let alone program all the gameplay from scratch. Maybe in the distant future, I might attempt to make a port, but as of now, it's impossible.

Hi, GuyMirror!

Thank you very much for your comment and your opinion about Daniel's Nightmare. To be honest, the story itself was originally going to be a bit longer and give more context about what really happens with Daniel and his family, but that content didn't convince me and was discarded (among that content was a chase scene with "Augustine").

In my original plans, I was going to update the game if the story wasn't very clear and didn't end up being liked, but the opposite happened. The story captivated everyone, the gameplay, and its conclusion (which was what I feared the most wouldn't be liked).

Currently, I know the game tells the story and wraps it up within the game, but there is still room to delve deeper into how Daniel met Augustine and how his mental decline at Augustine's hands led him to commit the atrocity he did, sort of a prequel, to be honest.

But those are just plans, nothing concrete for now. Thank you so much for playing Daniel's Nightmare!

Great game, Niven!

I achieved all the endings, and I found it to be a rather peculiar yet interesting game. I didn't experience the chair jumpscare fully because I was standing (and I guess the jumpscare was intended for the player to be seated, hence the message next to it saying to sit down and not do everything standing, lol).

I also tried another one of your games, Passerby, and I really liked it. I think you have a lot of potential to keep improving more and more with each of your games, as you handle the story and atmosphere very well (Incoherence is another good example).

Keep it up!

Muy lindo detalle de tu parte. ;)

La versión final saldrá dentro de poco, ¡hay que ser pacientes!

Thanks!

Soon. ;)

Thanks, Lucifer!

Thanks, Yeena!

¡Muchas gracias, Debian!

¡Sip! La versión que has jugado es la demo, la versión final (que es el juego completo, o remake, como gustes decirle), está actualmente en desarrollo. (─‿‿─)

;)

Thanks!

Thanks!

¡Muchas gracias! <3

Terima kasih banyak. <3

¡Muchas gracias! Espero que "Daniel's Nightmare" te guste también. :)
