The video trailer for this looks great, but imo the game could do with more satisfying sounds/exposions as you blow things up.

The demo crashes after a couple of mins.  The event viewer suggests it's an UE4 memory leak issue. 

It may be when a resource hungry process such as a game or it's engine isn't freeing up or handling ram very well,  until it crashes:

Fault bucket 1558362922347216157, type 5, Event Name: RADAR_PRE_LEAK_64. Response: Not available, Cab Id: 0. 

Problem signature: P1: UE4Game-Win64-Shipping.exe, P2: 4.14.3.0, P3: 10.0.22631.2.0.0

My specs are: Intel 13600K, 32GB, 6800 GPU (latest 24Q4 Pro Driver), running Win 11 (reports as windows 10.0.2 above)

As it's crashing on both Nvidia and AMD, it is highly likely that many people are experiencing ram issues with this game. I haven't tested it on Battlemage but I suspect this will result in the same. Perhaps the game could be ported over to UE5 if it was more stable.

This looks great. He does tend to get stuck when moving around. The right click mouse button didn't seem to do anything, sometimes reserved to describe an object when the other is used to select or use. Nice work.

I think when I initially saw 'disable overlay hotkey' I didn't realise it might bring up the gui. I may have misinterpreted it as Disabling 'Overlay Hotkey' (so the hotkey doesn't work), rather than Disabling 'Overlay' hotkey (only disabling the overlay, bringing back the gui). 

Perhaps you could have 'Disable overlay' as shown above, but with the 'Hotkey' text centred next to the custom button (shown as 'Delete' above). eg 'Hotkey (GUI): Delete'. Perhaps the Delete hotkey above (or Escape as it is by default) could resemble an actual keyboard key, but of course that might take up a lot of time and isn't necessary :)

I suppose the only minor issue is not being able to maximise from the taskbar straight after applying a filter, and instead having to use the hotkey, but I'm guessing due to the way the tool works with the screen, this may not be possible. Thanks for the help!

After applying a screen filter, the gui disappears and the app then sits in the taskbar minimised at the bottom of the screen. I can't maximise S4W to bring up the gui again when I need to change the effect or close the program.

As I can't maximise it, after using S4W I need to force close it using Control Alt Del (task manager). I can right click to ''close window'' to remove the minimised S4W that is stuck on the taskbar, and although this makes it disappear it still runs in the background as a process. I wasn't sure if it was a bug or just my computer.

To be able to have the program minimised next to the clock and date after applying an effect though would be good in future, with it's gui easily brought up (perhaps by using a keyboard shortcut). Thanks!

It doesn't close fully sometimes on my pc and it seems to be without the option to minimize to the toolbar, but otherwise it's great for sitting close to a large monitor. 

Make sure the game or version they are playing is family friendly

If they turn out to be safe then they will remain on itch and the developer can be noted and queried on why they recommend turning off malware detection. Some safe games can be detected as malware occasionally but this is usually an issue for the developer to either take up with a particular antivirus program or to fix the game itself so there are no more false flags
