Had a bunch of fun romping about a desert from structure to structure. Atmosphere is nice and there's a lot of "unexplained mysteries" revolving around the environment.
I'd have liked there to be a non-inverted y-axis on the mouse, but that's only a small criticism. ;P
Pretty cool atmosphere, explored for a bit.
pretty neat atmosphere. with a mechanic that the movement speed changed depending on how long you move would have made the game a lot better. still a cool game
Cool concept, but could have used some improvement on the artwork, maybe a more simplistic ground with few faces but high difference in light, also a not so symmetric character would be create. But keep going at it, practice makes perfect!
The general atmosphere is cool but the background sound is very repeative and walls had no collision in the web version. Gameplay is a bit lacking sadly because there is not enough interaction with the surrounding world (even though its design is cool).
camera control is pretty bad, but i love the atmosphere
Pretty cool. Your sky shader is not functioning in the webgl version. You might need to preload the shaders under the Graphics settings and also try preloading them in the build settings for good measure. I had a similar issue with shaders when I first built to webgl.
I love the title. Really fits in the with the atmosphere you were going for.
Atmostphère is a bit mysterious. I like it.
There is some work to be done on the camera and gameplay itself as we don't really know what to do at the moment!
Could be a good start to make something nice though!
Got lost in green maze with loud mini-sun, otherwise had great time. Is starting location randomized or does the game save some data between playthroughs? I've started this game few times, and sometimes I'm somewhere else...
Wasn't really sure what to do so just roamed around for a while looking at things. Oh man inverted mouse controls kill me though!
Nice atmosphere, had some fun exploring the red desert. After the first structure I think I got knocked below the level though =(
As the other say, the atmosphere and the mood are really good.
Sadly I didn't go very far because I didn't know where to go. The fact that the character move quite slowly compared to the size of the world makes exploration a bit tedious. It was not helping that guidance system pointed to a corridor with moving pillars and refused to point anywhere else, even though I walked on the red plate (that became green). Or maybe I missed something ?
Also, the shadows where completely black, which is annoying and does not really fit the environment. A bit of ambient light would have greatly improved this I believe.
Note that I played using the experimental WebGL version, so maybe it explain some issues. I might try the Windows version later.
@nitroix thanks for the feedback, the original plan was to make a simple texture for the sand, but due to time I change it to a procedural texture! -itsandrea
@anudin probably you were go to a environment mesh, I was really in rush and forget about them, also WebGl version is bit buggy so I might fix that soon -itsandrea
@catchthefloaty camera code is from scratch, what was bad? -itsandrea
@olkeencole Thanks! Yeah, the WebGl version is really buggy and incomplete, I'll try that later!
@jeremyfa Yeah, that's the point we're going for, we let you know if we want to continue with the project! Any suggestion for future versions are welcome -itsandrea
@kyyninen The location is based on last puzzle you've completed, should be 4 puzzle places and a final building, yeah the map is about 5km so you could get lost easily but for every corner there's a building -itsandrea
@wilsk Just go around and press buttons basically, sorry to hear about that, hopefully we'll fix that later, we were really in rush
@nervous.composers just resta\rasst
@nervous.composers *Just restart the game if you want complete the puzzle, we were so in rush and checked all the situation :( -itsandrea
@DraKlaW Thanks for the feedback :) Yeah, we will consider other things to make the travel between puzzles more comfortable. Probably you should go anywhere else, it take like 1-2 minutes to go to another puzzle from your location, (green button means that you have completed that puzzle), yeah also on the windows build the shadows are completely back, due to some scripts, but we might work on that later. -itsandrea
