    This seems like a pretty cool game, the controls seem very fast, and the art style is very nice and cartoony, even at a high resolution

      I agree with a auto pickup option, your already doing a action to chop down a tree, having to walk to every log and pick them up 1 by 1 feels tedious to me

    Wow looks really good and promising. Make sure to mention to add this game to wishlist on steam cause it is a big factor in the steam algorithm about how much they will suggest your game, and do a lot of teasers around the interenet and obviously create a community that will play your game when it just comes out :D anyway good luck with that i am following !

  • @rigas7121
    @rigas7121 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I share the same view on items not being auto collected. As you said it takes interaction off the game and in my opinion gives you control on what you want to pick up and what to leave behind, saving you time from putting unwanted items in your inventory and then trying to find them and discard them. The art style of the game looks amazing and i like your take on the genre. Hope to see more soon!

    • @Konitama
      @Konitama  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I'm glad you get it. I think people like auto-pickup for the convenience but quickly forget that it means you're going to pick up a lot of stuff you might not want, and then you have to spend time cleaning out your inventory.

    first of all I loved the idea of manually picking and being able to throw them, it both adds more realism and a game mechanic where you can use found items to throws certain points to solve puzzles or draw attention of monster away from you etc.

    This looks great, very nice art. Really really good, you must have been working on this for quite a while. This is a really small thing but I think when you pick up an item it should go straight into your quick access toolbar instead of the inventory if you have space. And its obvious this is gonna be optimised for controlled but it might be a good idea to have mouse functionality in the inventory and menus (if you dont already). It must be annoying having so many people sh!t out ideas for you in the comments. Anyway good job I will be watching your devlogs for the foreseeable future :D

    • @Konitama
      @Konitama  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @MrAndrewsAnimations
    @MrAndrewsAnimations 4 ปีที่แล้ว +58

    this is an interesting start however, the game feels like its lacking a major theme besides just resource gathering, basic enemy combat and crafting. the art style is pretty generic but I like the unique design of the character. for the devlogs, people wont really care about what keys do what, you can always add key binding as an option in the game. lastly, if you have to fast forward through gathering just a small amount of resources, that will become very annoying very quickly. consider either speeding up resource collection or something else to make that part of the game less boring and repetitious. anyways, those are just my suggestions, do what you want with them and good luck on the game!

  • @amiranGo
    @amiranGo 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
