If it happens I'll certainly post about it here :)\n\n@jake-marks\nThanks for the kind feedback, and thanks for capturing the vod!\n\n@microchasm\nThanks! I really agree about sound effects! I had a few recorded but ran out of time.\n\n@thatmanrobin\nThanks for the kind feedback, and I'll certainly revisit the font for the future!\n\n@leorid\nHaha, thank you - yeah, I forgot to add tricky timing puzzles. :)\n\n@halogen\nThank you! :)\n\n@yngvarr\nThanks for playing! Haha, and great job catching the references :)\n\n@wizard-sino\nThanks! Hopefully one day... \n\n@fpeg\nHeh, great to hear the Swedish nuances were appreciated. Thanks!\n\n@razorwolf\nI'm just gonna hit back with aw, thanks! :)\n\n@justinmullin\nThanks for the detailed review. I originally planned to make all objects also have an interaction, but sadly ran out of time. Appreciate the kind words!\n\n@bajtix\nYes, I ideally wanted to animate the characters a bit more, especially a talking animation for the \"avatar\". Thanks for playing and reviewing!\n\n@666savior\nThanks, yeah it wasn't the most intuitive puzzle :) I might revisit the story one day! Thanks!\n\n@g12345\nThanks for the very nice feedback!\n\n@thomasward\nThank you! Hope to be able to return to part 2 one day.\n\n@frank-gevaerts\nThanks fgeva! :) Yeah I was able to fix a last minute typo on the intro screen with a few minutes to spare. Appreciate the kind feedback! \n\n@deathstorm\nThank you so much, I promise you that if LD49 comes around and I haven't made any progress I'll whisper the story of Act 2 & 3 on Discord ;)\n\n@west\nThanks for the feedback, much appreciated! I definitely agree that it could be more clear what objects were interactive. And yes, those types of interactive puzzles are interesting. I had planned for a few of them for Act 2, but unfortunately ran out of time. Thanks for playing!\n\n@rocktavious\nThanks a lot for the very detailed review! All your suggestions are spot on, being relatively new to Unity I struggled a bit with with some of the user interface elements. Definitely agree that sound and visual effects would make the game more user friendly. And yes, the rooms without a door was a bit of a mishap. I originally planned some type of marking in the floor to signify an exit, but ended up not coming up with a good way to solve for that. My next adventure game will definitely have a walking character. :) Again, thanks for playing!\n\n@ladymistleaf\nThanks so much for the kind feedback! :) \n\n@birdwards\nGreat, thank you for playing it!\n\n@laurari\nThanks so much, that's really great to hear! I hope to revisit part 2 in a not too distant future :)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":705868,"author_name":"DDRKirbyISQ","author_uid":"ddrkirbyisq","epoch":1621295476,"text":"Nooo I was so sad that it ended!
