    IDEA SUGGESTION: When the player walks out of the water (or swims out) make the player leave wet footsteps or small water drops dripping from the character. Just a small detail.

    Suggestion: I would add fireflies. During night, the fireflies could be a great source of light along the way and considering your game art and style it would add a great magic-ish mood. The fireflies would be visible only at night and could be placed in some places (like near lakes, trees) along the map. As I said before, I think it would add a great look to your game and would be practical too!

    Third great devlog! And so soon too!
    The transparency, light-hearted ness, and ability to take advice and roll with it really makes these devlogs in a league of their own.
    One idea you probably already have for the future, but worth mentioning anyway, is a small weather system. I love game’s ambience already and I think having an occasional rainstorm would be a really nice addition.

    That speech sound effect really brings life to the talking mechanic. It's one of those things I didn't realize how important it was until after hearing it.

    Few suggestions if I may,
    - hair spikes could use some more depth, right now its just one layer of spikes, may be extract 2-3 more vertices behind current line.
    - Suggestion related to your face cam, it seems a bit closer and makes you look more aggressive than it is. May be try recording with a little bit more distance.
    But all in all super excited for this game...

    One thing I’d tweak is the camera ghost settings while gliding to be even smoother. Sudden adjustments are bigger and more impactful-and also much easier-in the air. I got a little motionsick around 10:22 after barely a few seconds of flight on my small phone screen.

      @advancenine  Рік тому +1

      Hey that’s super good feedback. I totally get what you are saying. I run the camera differently when the player is flying and there is a lot of improvement required for it. But I couldn’t put my finger on it until this comment. I’m rotating the camera way faster when the player is in the air than on the ground and I need to fix. You are so rad for seeing what I could not. Seriously. Thank you.

    nice. A few suggestions:
    1. look at the map and make each part somewhat memorable in the way it looks. It will help players navigate/player orientation. You could reserve specific color trees for areas, some different color stones etc.
    2. Highly recommend doing multiple skyboxes in a single zone. What I mean is, depending on a region of the zone a skybox can change and also fog density and fog color.
    3. Now that you have a glider (which is faster than walking) you should account for the speed by expanding the map slightly, in those areas where glider should be used often. Otherwise it all blips infront of the eyes too much.

      ah also, player needs some breathing time inbetween activities. This can be done with extra length pathing from point A to B. Let's player to recompose, and think of what they want to do, and to just relax. This is a good time to show them scenery.
      For example: auto fly paths, or just something that let's player not do much and still seemingly go from A to B.

    Hey, I was watching this devlog and I thought something that would really make it pop would to have a weather system. Raining could make the waterfalls stronger lightning storms could add a challenge, and perhaps their are nightstones or 'weatherstones' that are attuned to certain weathers and after being activated reveal something. Weather is a great way to make an entire area feel new and exciting and it could pave way for future weather related animals like frogs that come out leading to weather related abilities.

    a few suggestions, maybe make the player have an energy bar to avoid them going across the whole map with the glider, and if you do that you could at a boost feature to the glider when your in the air, taking more energy but making you go faster ,or something like that. also if the player enters a river it would be cool to make them get pushed a little! also maybe add puzzles?

    This project is amazing! And i feel like theres nothing wrong with asking people to wishlist a game you've clearly put a lot of hours into. I did have a suggestion to make just because im personally big into audio: every character could have variations to the sounds that play when they speak to convey their identity a bit better. I got the idea when you got the rat screaming "IM A MOUSE", i feel like a different sound effect (tone, pitch, instrument) would really help sell the interaction with the npc!

    maybe a good idea for the glider would be to add a animation of the player mouting the glider when he starts using, like sticking the two parts of the glider togueter.
    remember game feel is important.
    outside of that very polished game.
    also you should add some mobs to make the world feels more alive like birds, deers, etc...

    Wow I'm consistently impressed! Your terrain looks good, and I'm wondering if you've thought about making the terrain look more cel-shaded since your character is cel-shaded. In our game, we wanted the terrain to have crisp edges between textures so we clamped the splat map (you can see our new trailer for an example).
    Anyway, great work! Wishlisted!

    • @advancenine
      @advancenine  Рік тому +2

      Thanks for the wishlist! You’re amazing. I did have the terrain more cel shaded by liked the contrast of it being more gradient with cel objects on top. But I’ll be testing and improving the look. You might be right. It might look better.

    Actually surprised at the amount of detail and polish you have put into this before even making the actual game. I know this is all the fun stuff, finding the look and all, but the gameplay is where players will either stay or leave. Love how you give glimpses into the process of how you figured out stuff, and I envy how easily you did the shaders to get the look. The shorter story that can be played through in a couple of hours is definitely the way to go and stay sane in a project like this. Wish you the best of luck.

    instead of the circular rain drop ripples following the player model while swimming, maybe change that to a triangular wake away from the back of the player to show better "flow" or "movement" through the water?

    What if we could choose dialogue choices to ask for different things? Like with the owls, we could choose to ask about flying or ask about the portal or something else. You could add a some hp to the player in the glider so the players can't stay in the air forever and would need to land to get energy back. Some challenges would be nice even if that's not really the main focus of the game.
