Creio que para resolver isso seria interessante n\u00e3o precisa chegar t\u00e3o perto de cada objeto (ou seja, aumentaria a caixa de colis\u00e3o para uma \u00e1rea maior e faria o objeto selecionado destacar na cena).\nA forma de apresentar os objetivos pode ser melhorada, pois a princ\u00edpio (considerando apenas o jogo), n\u00e3o se sabe ao menos interagir. Ent\u00e3o seria interessante destacar mais o bal\u00e3o de pedidos da slimes.\nSeria (tamb\u00e9m) interessante ter maior feedback visual (e sonoro) quando algo \u00e9 coletado, entregue (inclusive quando o objetivo \u00e9 alcan\u00e7ado).\nSobre o fluxo de jogo: ao meu ver seria uma boa aumentar o tempo para as tarefas (n\u00e3o muito), mesmo que apenas nas primeiras duas a quatro tarefas, apenas para permitir que o jogador aprenda a interagir.\nH\u00e1 alguns desafios que n\u00e3o parecem ter funcionado bem (o do fog\u00e3o eu tentei de tudo, mas n\u00e3o consegui ter retorno se eu estava acertando ou errando). Sei que errei porque n\u00e3o tive resultado positivo (mas poderia queimar o cachorro quente se eu falhasse, e me fizesse pegar outro na geladeira).\nDe qualquer forma: parab\u00e9ns por sua entrada! :)\n\n2 - Gr\u00e1ficos, \u00c1udio, Narrativa e Polimento:\nOs gr\u00e1ficos est\u00e3o simples e \u00e9 poss\u00edvel entender a cena (ent\u00e3o, com exce\u00e7\u00e3o da HUD e de feedbacks, \u00e9 poss\u00edvel entender bem o projeto e cumprem o papel).\nSinto falta de \u00e1udio (acredito que ajudaria bastante o projeto).\nA narrativa \u00e9 pura e simplesmente de cuidar de um ser que pede para ter seus desejos\/vontades\/necessidades realizados.\n\n3 - Cultura:\nCreio que estabele\u00e7a rela\u00e7\u00e3o com cuidar de pets e (at\u00e9 mesmo) de pessoas.\nSe o jogo for polido e tiver problemas de intera\u00e7\u00e3o resolvidos, creio que o pr\u00f3ximo passo (em caso de continuidade do projeto e interesse em dar retorno social) seria aumentar as intera\u00e7\u00f5es (quem sabe assim v\u00e1 um pouco al\u00e9m de entretenimento). :)\n\n4 - Monetiza\u00e7\u00e3o:\nAtualmente n\u00e3o vejo como monetizar tal projeto, mas se fosse um estilo de Tamagotchi seria algo a se pensar (com ciclos de dia-e-noite etc).","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"gustavo.christino","author_uid":"1026571","time":"2020-04-27T18:27:26Z","epoch":1588012046,"modified":1588012046,"text":"Analysis...\n\n1 - Mechanics, Learning and Flow:\nI understood that you must take care of the slime, since you could control the box.\nAnd that you would need to fulfill slime requests (within the established time).\nAnd that each request would lead the character to interact with the scenario (in different ways, including mini-games).\nControlling the character turns out to be difficult due to the collision box (I believe) that only shows the interaction if it is very close, in addition to (sometimes) stopping or passing directly. I think that to solve this it would be interesting to not need to get so close to each object (that is, it would increase the collision box to a larger area and make the selected object stand out in the scene).\nThe way of presenting the objectives can be improved, because at first (considering only the game), it is not known to even interact. So it would be interesting to highlight the slimes order balloon more.\nIt would be (also) interesting to have greater visual (and audible) feedback when something is collected, delivered (even when the objective is achieved).\nAbout the game flow: in my opinion it would be a good idea to increase the time for tasks (not much), even if only in the first two to four tasks, just to allow the player to learn to interact.\nThere are some challenges that don't seem to have worked well (the one on the stove I tried everything, but I couldn't get back if I was hit or miss). I know I made a mistake because I didn't have a positive result (but I could burn the hot dog if I failed, and make me get another one in the fridge).\nAnyway: congratulations on your entry! :)\n\n2 - Graphics, Audio, Narrative and Polishment:\nThe graphics are simple and it is possible to understand the scene (so, with the exception of HUD and feedbacks, it is possible to understand the project well and fulfill the role).\nI miss audio (I believe it would help the project a lot).\nThe narrative is purely and simply to take care of a being who asks to have his \/ her desires \/ wants \/ needs fulfilled.\n\n3 - Culture:\nI believe it establishes a relationship with taking care of pets and (even) people.\nIf the game is polished and has interaction problems solved, I believe that the next step (in case of continuity of the project and interest in giving social return) would be to increase interactions (who knows, maybe go a little beyond entertainment). :)\n\n4 - Monetization:\nI currently don't see how to monetize such a project, but if it were a Tamagotchi style it would be something to think about (with day-and-night cycles etc).","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Grigri Games","author_uid":"1201414","time":"2020-05-05T08:04:57Z","epoch":1588665897,"modified":1588665897,"text":"Really nice and funny game !","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"flyingbear","author_uid":"1016147","time":"2020-05-06T07:39:06Z","epoch":1588750746,"modified":1588750746,"text":"I love the premise of trying to fulfill a needy slime's needs, that's super clever!
