Thanks for your feedback. I hope you'll be glad to hear that I've got plans to integrate some reactive tutorials already, but they're just not ready yet. I will take a look at the other issues you noticed and get those ironed out as well. :)
As for getting stuck on the edible food tutorial. Know that you can abort quests / skip tutorial quests in the quest manager, but I'll take a look at what might have caused you to get stuck the way you did.
Some plant life isn't edible / interactable such as the rushes. The small seaweeds are also non-interactable, but I must have mistakenly flagged them as edible without a food attribute, which I'll correct (Thanks for that report).
I'm sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, but I'm glad to have your feedback to help guide further improvements and cleanup. :)
When evolving during gameplay, your offspring will change, but not your current animal. Also, in the Demo you can't play as your offspring. The inheritance feature is disabled for the Prologue Demo.
Yes I have a big species editor overhaul planned which includes procedural spine and limb drawing + scaling. I'd like to do part morphing as well, but have not had time to do enough prototyping to make any promises yet about that feature.
I've recently added the first pass of tutorial content, but more will be coming. :) Are you receiving quest prompts once you've started the game as your species?
Thanks so much for playing the game and for your thorough feedback, hearing these kinds of issues / frustrations is extremely helpful. :D I'm glad you enjoyed the game and concept even with any early access struggles you encountered.
Thank you for sharing :) I don't know much about Intel Iris cards, but after doing some benchmark comparisons, I'd say this is likely the cause. There's a lot going on graphically.
Hi there! I'm very happy to hear Adapt has a fan! I'm hoping to get a new update out with some tutorial and questing basics in early Feb. Climbing won't be released for a while, but is absolutely planned. There's no set date yet, but I'll be working on it after the game is released into early access.
While they will share some logic, hands will likely be part of a separate update set. I'll see where it would fit on the roadmap; but hands are definitely planned.
The new update should solve the issue causing your eat button to not always work correctly. :) No update yet on Rebinding controls, but it is on my to-do list.
I will be adding support for changing the keybindings in the future. The game also has controller support as an alternative in the meantime if you have one. :)
I'm sorry to hear you're having issues with lag. Have you tried reducing your video settings? Lowering the Grass Density, Draw Distance, Shadows, and Water Quality settings can all have major impact on performance.
Additionally, Adapt is not optimized for on-board GPUs. So you will likely see graphics latency if you're using a laptop with and Intel onboard or other similar GPU.
Thanks for your feedback, and I'll be sure to double check the game's min system requirements to make sure they are accurate.
Thanks for your thoughts. It's awesome to see you're excited for the game, even if you're having some optimization issues. I hope you'll be happy I'm working on some additions that are very closely in-line with some of your ideas. :D
Thanks for your feedback. I'm working on some fixes now for a few controls that can get stuck as you mentioned. As for lag, make sure to check your graphics settings if you're on a laptop / non-gaming machine. Shadows, draw distance, grass, and water quality can all be a bit much for less fancy graphics cards.
