Couldn't step in for the stream since I was sleeping but it sucks that the Pizza Tower OST was copyright struck on the peaks of yore stream :[ I was the one who recommended it but yeah grrr youtubes copyright system is dookie anyways great stream as usual
hi there, one of the 2 devs here, you said you had suggestions for gameplay tweaks and i'd be glad to hear about them, is there anything specific you'd like to give us for feedback? we still have 3 major updates planned, all of which plan to add more content, balances changes and bug fixes, so we appreciate any and all feedback one thing planned is to add an optional tutorial night that'd be linear and introduce you to the core mechanics needed to understand in order to survive the nights
Sorry for the late reply, I just had surgery and I've been a bit preoccupied. I really enjoyed the game and thought it was well made! I think the biggest issue is just the lack of any tutorial or opening, as the game currently just throws you in, which I'm sure y'all are working on. I guess the only grievance I had with the game is that I wasn't sure how much of the game's free roam aspect really affected the gameplay, as the game seems to just revolve around being in the office but with everything being in a free roam mode. Maybe that's the point or I was misunderstanding but being outside the office feels like a death sentence since the animatronics seem to spot you very easily, even behind cover (or I'm bad at the game). I'm curious if there are going to be any changes made to make being outside the office more viable in the future or if you're meant to just stay in the office. As far as tweaks go, it did feel awkward at times when the animatronics would switch doors multiple times before deciding to leave, so I'm not sure if that's intended or not, and Foxy seems to be very aggressive compared to everyone else. The only "bugs" I encountered were the animatronics clipping through the doors on a few occasions. At one point Foxy got stuck in the office and started trying to break the door from the inside, which I don't believe was intended. Overall though, very impressive game and I look forward to playing future updates!
@@ashlox756 hi, hope the surgery went fine and you're recovering well. the free roam aspects ideally would want you to mix office play with free roam, as in when things start getting heated and you feel you're about to be cornered with no way to counter, the best thing to do is to run and come back later. bonnie and chica cannot outspeed you, although they will give you a rough time on later nights as they become significantly faster and more aggressive. we have been working on ways to make free roam easier by opening up more rooms, removing dead ends and overall making it easier to consistently break line of sight with the animatronics, and we also have more planned. the animatronics switching doors is intended behavior, bonnie is the only one who's tough since he can hear you press the buttons and so on if he's still close to the door, incentivizing him to stay. foxy's aggressiveness is a punishment for failing to deal with him, tips already suggest some ways to deal with him, but i'll explain his mechanic here for better comprehension: watching him on cameras (or in person) will keep him on stage. when you see him start looking at the camera, it doesn't mean that you failed at your task, it simply means he has become active and now it is important to keep an eye out. when he's not looking at the camera at the start of the night you can safely ignore him. if foxy leaves his stage and you're in the office, he will instantly aggro you and run to your location. closing the door on him will result in those bangs, which drain power and also have a slight chance of temporarily disabling the door. foxy is faster than you, however using your flashlight on him will stun him and he will leave. doing this before he aggros will result in a hard aggro which cannot be countered and results in death. after the first stun (or if he leaves the stage while you're not in the office) he will randomly roam around the place but he will always find you, after which he will follow you until he randomly decides to aggro again. also i talked to tseg about the banging from inside the office and he told me he made this intentional because it's funny. thank you for the feedback, we will try our best at making the tutorial comprehensive and make free roam as viable (if not more) than office camping.
