Hello everyone! Skylor Here.
Next Fest was a massive success! Nearly 300 people downloaded the demo! Many of you have been submitting feedback and I am making this post to let you know that I am reading all of your feedback! Rather than respond to everyone individually, I figured I would just lay it all out here!
Firstly, it is clear to me that the tutorial elements that I designed are not working as intended and many core aspects of the game are not being conveyed to the player correctly. As a result many players were frustrated without the knowledge needed to play and enjoy the game. In particular, players were often unaware that they could charge shots, unlock equipment, or purchase upgrades.
Some of the feedback provided by players highlighted UI elements as being difficult to notice or hard to understand. Because of this, they will be redesigned to better convey information to the player and help guide new players into understanding how to play properly.
At some point in the future, an updated version of the demo will be released, so be sure to keep an eye on this news feed and wishlist the game! The main build of the game has come a LONG way since that demo was finalized for Next Fest over two months ago and I am very excited to get it into your hands as soon as possible.
Thank you for playing and submitting feedback!
