As someone who has been chipping away at a game for probably about a year now, and who has made about 1/10 the progress you have, your game is incredibly inspiring.

    I hope you tweak the lighting or post processing a bit to amp up the colors. Dunno if it's the black AO or so but there's this black/grey dull vibe on top of your colorful fun theme that makes it look a bit dirty. Best of luck!

    Just a small note for the animated text plugin you're using: I would suggest lowering the size of the pop in on the typewriter. Reading the text is very distracting, especially if all the text in the game appears in that way.
    But great job! 2 years of work and it looks great!

    Really, you only took 2 years while working full time job to create this beautiful game? Amazing. Huge props. Not gonna lie, if I was a kid, I would play this game instantly. It reminds me of old platforming classics such as Croc, Gex, Kao, Crash or Rayman but much more cozy and less wacky.

    Your game looks amazing!
    Imagine if the characters' animations matched their voice lines. Like, if they sound sad, the character looks sad, and vice versa for happy moments. I get it might take some effort, but it could make the game even cooler when you're fine-tuning things. Just a thought! 😊

    @MetalMightGames 2 месяца назад

    I played the demo and loved it! I'm just hoping you don't get carried away and add more complexity to the game which is what happens to a lot of games. I value simplicity. I also really hate minigames like in Spyro 2 & 3 and Banjo Kazooie. Just give me a checklist of collectibles and let me explore till I find them all! I played Cavern of Dreams recently but when it got to Prismic Palace the icy level, it got too difficult for me. Also the Nightmare level was too hard for me. A game stops being relaxing and fun when the difficulty ramps up. Also keeping it simple opens the game up to kids who may struggle with harder games. And many adults just want a simple easy fun game to escape the real world once in a while. Anyway, looking forward to the next demo!

    I'm not sure how fun it'll be, but it looks really good. It feels like it will be a real, full game. I love all the ideas you have for different areas, and the voice acting seems great.
    I do want to say, based just on the looks in the video, the book area is nice. But feels a bit too flat. Like they all look and feel like the same book, just with different color covers. And the book towers feel a bit too neat. Little Nightmares does something similar, and you can certainly see where it repeats here and there. But it also feels more varied. If you weren't slowly analyzing it, you might not notice the repeating books in it. It also might be neat to have a couple more sets of googly eyes as well. Or at least some happy/excited eyes. Just to give them a little personality.

      I really appreciate this comment! Sure I hope the game will be fun! :) Currently I'm focusing on getting everything playable and then go over the levels and iterate on level design and details once it's more finalized :) So I hope to make the book forest more interesting since it will be one of the earlier favorite levels of mine in the game :)

    Ooh, the cave should be like a customizable base or something (with special furniture collectable lol)
