Even if they just acknowledged that you did something, like with a bleep or something for picking up stuff. I don't think I was told how to pick up stuff either. I tried quite a few buttons before I figured out that it's 'E' :D \n\nI like the literal interpretation of the theme though, and the general mood. I just wish there was more :) ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AMastryukov","author_uid":"1040622","time":"2018-12-28T18:07:37Z","epoch":1546020457,"modified":1546020457,"text":"**The Good:**\nGame is straightforward and akin to generic fetch quest adventure games. Controls are simple and follow the general FPS control scheme. Graphics are pretty good for a 3D compo game made in UE4. Fits the theme as well.\n\n**Needs Improvement:**\nSound effects & ambient track or soundtrack are an absolute must for a game, especially a game like this when you have a dungeon and an outside area and considering how much effort you put into the atmosphere already.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Izunah","author_uid":"1011351","time":"2018-12-29T20:38:42Z","epoch":1546115922,"modified":1546115922,"text":"I would have liked to have a small tutorial for the controls of the games, maybe even a splash screen that was like \"push this to pick up\". Thankfully it defaulted to E like a regular game so it wasn't over difficult. Sound would have been great, but taking on a 3D first person game for a jam is a feat in and of itself, so I commend you for the effort.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"kiv","author_uid":"1002755","time":"2018-12-29T20:40:35Z","epoch":1546116035,"modified":1546116035,"text":"Really ambitious project, congrads!

Could possibly have sensitivity setting\n- Awesome torch visual effects\n- Clear instructions e.g. by the priest\n- Nice world and houses\n- Nice Dungeon idea but maybe the name is not representative?\n- Quite funny, at times with link to theme\n- Great change of sceneries and ideas for objectives\n\nImprovements\n- When I fell too far in dungeon, it would be preferable to have had restarted automatically, right? There could be a menu option. \n- out-game camera controls a bit weird\n- Could have some sound and ambient music\n- Would have liked a more fluid jump\n- When the guy exclaimed that the wall looked different, it didn't look very different to me\n- Left-click didn't work on touch pad\n\nOverall\n- Overall seems like a great attempt at an open-world game. Some more fluid dynamics, a little polishing and audio would help this game out a lot. \n\nGreat stuff, keep it up!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"lilkrit","author_uid":"1015723","time":"2018-12-29T22:40:58Z","epoch":1546123258,"modified":1546123258,"text":"@zxinferno Thanks for the review, but I have a quick advice - when you \"start\" the game, there's a choice of 4 different pyramids. Each one represents a different level. You can restart that level, but now I see that it does take more steps than necessary.

A very literal take on the theme, which is not wrong in any way. :) I liked the fact that you've managed to put together real quests in a 3D environment. Sounds would have made a huge impact on the game. A good accomplishment within tight time constraints. If you would have had one more day you would probably been able to create basic sound effects and some background ambience.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Sam Dower","author_uid":"1063766","time":"2018-12-30T09:49:12Z","epoch":1546163352,"modified":1546163352,"text":"I love the game but I had to restart it because at one point I teleported under the map and the graphics and collisions started popping in and out of existence.
