Good work on the art side, I have a few notes about it:\n* The forground and player character are both relativly dark and the player doesn't stand out very much in the foreground. Maybe the contrast between them could be a bit higher\n* The player sprite itself is so dark that it is also a bit hard to see the contours you put inside it, so maybe also a bit more contrast here could help people seeing the details you put in there\n* The colors of the portals are sometimes a bit hard to match because I think there are some filters present that also change the colors. Maybe you could additionally add some symbol or give them different shapes to make them easier to match\n* I really liked the shapes you come up with for the fire and the characters","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1034540,"author_name":"Zamizmi","author_uid":"zamizmi","epoch":1713194353,"text":"@oadt Thank you for the feedback! I really struggled with the visualisation of the characters and the portals especially.

I hade a hard time avoiding the enemies. I think that it might've been a combination of how suddenly they can change direction and the colours used.

There is some frustration with enemy movement which makes things feel a bit too luck based, especially when one spawns in and you end up stuck between 2 enemies. It might be an idea to be able to screen wrap from one side to the other as well as there is otherwise no escape if there is an enemy between you and the nearest doorway.

My goals was to make all the art possible and get familiar with splines. I'm really happy with the results! Especially the art side was super fun and rewarding. Unfortunately had no time to focus on audio, but considering I did all the art, design and development by myself, I'm really pleased with the results.\n","title":"Winds of Change","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/389501+389502+389503+389504+389505+389506+389507+389508+389509+389510+389511+389512+389513+389514+389515+389516+389517+389518+389519+389520+389521+389522+389523+389524+389525+389526+389527+389528+389529+389530+389531+389532+389533+389534+389535+389536+389537+389538+389539+389540+389541+389542+389543+389544+389545+389546+389547+389548+389549+389550+389551+389552+389553+389554+389555+389556+389557+389558+389559+389560+389561+389562+389563+389564+389565+389566+389567+389568+389569+389570+389571+389572+389573+389574+389575+389576+389577+389578+389579+389580+389581+389582+389583+389584+389585+389586+389587+389588+389589+389590+389591+389592+389593+389594+389595+389596+389597+389598+389599+389600+389601+389602+389603+389604+389605+389606+389607+389608+389609+389610+389611+389612+389613+389614+389615+389616+389617+389618+389619+389620+389621+389622+389623+389624+389625+389626+389627+389628+389629+389630+389631+389632+389633+389634+389635+389636+389637+389638+389639+389640+389641+389642+389643+389644+389645+389646+389647+389648+389649+389650+389651+389652+389653+389654+389655+389656+389657+389658+389659+389660+389661+389662+389663+389664+389665+389666+389667+389668+389669+389670+389671+389672+389673+389674+389675+389676+389677+389678+389679+389680+389681+389682+389683+389684+389685+389686+389687+389688+389689+389690+389691+389692+389693+389694+389695+389696+389697+389698+389699+389700+389701+389702+389703+389704+389705+389706+389707+389708+389709+389710+389711+389712+389713+389714+389715+389716+389717+389718+389719+389720+389721+389722+389723+389724+389725+389726+389727+389728+389729+389730+389731+389732+389733+389734+389735+389736+389737+389738+389739+389740+389741+389742+389743+389744+389745+389746+389747+389748+389749+389750+389751+389752+389753+389754+389755+389756+389757+389758+389759+389760+389761+389762+389763+389764+389765+389766+389767+389768+389769+389770+389771+389772+389773+389774+389775+389776+389777+389778+389779+389780+389781+389782+389783+389784+389785+389786+389787+389788+389789+389790+389791+389792+389793+389794+389795+389796+389797+389798+389799+389800+389801+389802+389803+389804+389805+389806+389807+389808+389809+389810+389811+389812+389813+389814+389815+389816+389817+389818+389819+389820+389821+389822+389823+389824+389825+389826+389827+389828+389829+389830+389831+389832+389833+389834+389835+389836+389837+389838+389839+389840+389841+389842+389843+389844+389845+389846+389847+389848+389849+389850+389851+389852+389853+389854+389855+389856+389857+389858+389859+389860+389861+389862+389863+389864+389865+389866+389867+389868+389869+389870+389871+389872+389873+389874+389875+389876+389877+389878+389879+389880+389881+389882+389883+389884+389885+389886+389887+389888+389889+389890+389891+389892+389893+389894+389895+389896+389897+389898+389899+389900+389901+389902+389903+389904+389905+389906+389907+389908+389909+389910+389911+389912+389913+389914+389915+389916+389917+389918+389919+389920+389921+389922+389923+389924+389925+389926+389927+389928+389929+389930+389931+389932+389933+389934+389935+389936+389937+389938+389939+389940+389941+389942+389943+389944+389945+389946+389947+389948+389949+389950+389951+389952+389953+389954+389955+389956+389957+389958+389959+389960+389961+389962+389963+389964+389965+389966+389967+389968+389969+389970+389971+389972+389973+389974+389975+389976+389977+389978+389979+389980+389981+389982+389983+389984+389985+389986+389987+389988+389989+389990+389991+389992+389993+389994+389995+389996+389997+389998+389999+390000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/e0\/e0f714bfc3063cad5b93f432b5b430e0015e12ccd30b9ad77e55eb64cf8fc2e3","record":"shard-1\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/9ffacc8b1377a18db49eb66f29bc5b000dc31f58f055ab0f226227d23934dd5a.json","sha256":"e0f714bfc3063cad5b93f432b5b430e0015e12ccd30b9ad77e55eb64cf8fc2e3","source":"https","stored_at":1784022536}}
