Hi, thank you for the feedback I am aware the game is repetitive and empty at the moment. I had little to no time working on that prototype (about 3 days of development). I am still working on building a stronger foundation, I am in the process of remaking the UI and implementing a dialogue system. I have a lot of foundation to build before I'll have the luxury to even think about designing the gameplay loop.
Don't get me wrong though, I am thinking about improving the gameplay loop but I still need to sort out technical aspects.
Btw, I find your Godot game pretty cool. It was one of my inspirations for upgrading to Unity.
I can see that, but to be fair a lot of it has to do with the newer version being experimental and incomplete.
I still need to work on mechanics like a debranching dialog system which I had in Renpy out of the box, not to mention make art assets because I am not happy with the quality/consistency of the previous ones.
The prototype is far from being a playable game, it's goal is to showcase an idea and receiving feedback before committing to it so needless to say, the feedback is appreciated.
The main reason I made the engine change was that it is really tiresome to work on multiple projects in different engines and I thought it would be cool if there more games like this that weren't limited by Renpy.
I am remaking/reimagining my game so it has two version. If you download the version 0.14 (OLD), you'll get to play the old version of the game with slightly more context. The version you are playing now is a prototype with only 4 stages.
Yeah, I manage to cramp a lot of work in a rather short time. I'm glad I didn't have to debug much.. well besides the android build, it's proven to be a pain in the ass.
I tried to implement most of the core mechanics and worry about context in later stages.
One benefit I had with Renpy was that all the feature exist out of the box while in Unity I need to make them from scratch and a lot of it flies unnoticeable, like saving system and UI.
Hmm.. yeah I didn't really bother marketing the game at all, I was studying game development for around a year now and I felt like it went nowhere. I picked up Renpy for a weekender and stitched this project in a few weeks for shits and giggle. Never thought much of the game and I didn't anticipate it getting any attention.
I don't mind you promoting it but I feel like it's very unbaked. To get the game in a more presentable state I need plenty of art assets and writing and I hate the process of making them. Honestly, I wish I had a team so I would only need to worry about functionality.
Renpy is pretty cool, took me 3 days, give or take to learn it enough to mame the current project. You can benefit a lot from it as a 2D artist, but I'm not a 2D artist and I don't have a team. I much prefer to have an editor, 3D capabilities and GUI. Making this game on Renpy was kinda of a meme I took too far.
