Thanks for playing!!

Thanks, could you actually either write a small explanation of what happened as you played and what you were thinking, doing, and were confused about as you played? If you could post this on the YouTube community post comment OR email me at support@derndeff.com, I would greatly appreciate it. : ) So far I haven't had anyone play while I was watching, so a written summary is the best I'll get until then.

I'm good! A fun demo and a video will be out soon, just keep an eye out on the YouTube channel. Making full-sized games is slow and hard, I'll leave it at that haha

Hey there! I have enough polished and put together right now for a demo, but there's a few more things I'm currently adding to make the demo a fully, more cohesive experience. I'm also going to make a new trailer and do a little rebranding for the game to make it more marketable, and then I'll make a video and release the demo (all of this is a lot of work for marketing!). At the very latest, there will be a demo out for Steam's October next fest (with a YouTube video), but I would expect to hear sooner.  I will likely put together a discord and announce that probably on a YouTube community post so that people can help play test.

I could have released stuff earlier, but I've never made a full game before and I'm worried Steam users have a bit of a higher quality expectation, haha. I'm also banking a fair bit of marketing strategy on YouTube gaming videos, so I want the demo to be a great reflection and a good tease of what the game has to offer. I'm playing it safe on the quality and polish end, and it means I'm a bit slower than I'd like lol.

Thanks for reaching out!

Thanks! It's pretty crude gameplay wise but I found it scary when I was testing it haha

my email is support@derndeff.com if you need anything, the only thing I don't keep up on as diligently are YouTube comments. I'll have a demo for a new game soon(ish) if you want more material to analyze and critique!

Are you wanting to make one? If so, feel free, and I'm happy to answer any questions : )

Hola, eso es extraño... ¿también tiene problemas si pruebas la versión "lightweight"? tu CPU y GPU deberían ser suficientes

haha nice playthrough! you're not missing much by not going further to be honest, this game is definitely only finishable if you have a really high tedium tolerance lol

a video is going out Friday morning but for a playable horror game, I don't have a definite answer unfortunately. for early-release game testing stuff, I should probably have both regular and lightweight versions, right?

hi

hi again. I may have fixed the issue in the latest update, but it may only fix it for some users, I can't be sure

for anyone else reading this: https://pixabay.com/music/funerals-auld-lang-syne-14231/

Hi there, did you click on "more info" and "run anyway" isn't listed as an option? If so, I would recommend downloading the itch app and installing the game through there (similar to Steam) https://itch.io/app

Definitely nothing on my end, however, I would recommend you try out itch's desktop app if you're having issues and not already using it. It's similar to Steam and I thought it worked quite well when I tried it: https://itch.io/app

Good feedback, I'm also unhappy with how campy the game gets when the bots have their difficulties increased. : / I think it's just a flaw in the main idea of the mechanics to be honest. Good ideas and suggestions, I am currently working on a new nextbot-y game that I think you'll enjoy!

I will keep this in mind for the future, thanks for letting me know! it's definitely a high-pitched crackling sound so I can see it being a bit piercing (and some people's headphones probably make this worse!)

Thanks for playing!

Great suggestions, I think these are good notes. Having more clear and more often reminders on the mechanics/tips in a non-obstructive way is definitely something I've learned going forward.

I've gotten several suggestions for difficulty customization and having a customizable experience for those who want more enjoyment out of the game is definitely something I'll be adding to my next game!

I think I'm content with the flaws of this game (at this point, it's not worth the effort adding more stuff/fixes instead of making a new, better game). I think you'll really enjoy my next game!

Hi e112! I spent some time today and ported this game to the lighter-weight rendering, and it's ready to download. Let me know if anything is broken!

Hi, I might have something that could fix this, would you be willing to help test something for me? if so, please email me at support@derndeff.com

LOL I didn't know you also made games, this was definitely a good experience, nice job! Favorite part was the final level song haha

I MAY have found something that could cause this. Would you be interested in helping me test a fix for it? If so, please email me at support@derndeff.com
