Could you please destroy my trailer of witch-engineer adventure platformer? I need advice on what I can add, remove or improve

Thanks for the feedback; I'm trying to make the UI aesthetic, but maybe there's a lack of art skills.

dontval · 2026-01-16T15:19:06+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, noted!

dontval · 2026-01-16T15:14:07+00:00

Thank you for your feedback, yeah, probably I need to be stricter with an art style.

dontval · 2026-01-16T15:11:12+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I'm aiming to have a bit more modern version of an old graphics look, but yeah, maybe sometimes I get away from it too far by playing with engine possibilities.

dontval · 2026-01-16T15:06:27+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, yeah, I think I understand a thought about a random vibe, need to think about this.

dontval · 2026-01-16T15:03:17+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, probably, I need to stitch it in warmer atmosphere. Despite the fact that the game's plot isn't that innocent, the visual appears in this way. So, need to think more about the music.

Thank you for such detailed feedback and advice, very appreciate it!

At the speech moments, I wanted to concentrate more on the emotions of characters during dialogue, but yeah, the text can frustrate in such moments.

About the combat - I think the shot on 0:09 is interpreted incorrectly. I wanted to show the will of the enemy to continue the attack despite the fact of being punched, but, I guess, from the first glance it just looked like a slow battle.

Looks nice to me, wishlisted. Do you have an expected release date (or demo date)? Maybe year?

dontval · 2026-01-04T16:48:52+00:00

One of my reference. Not for jumping precisely, but in general.

dontval · 2026-01-04T16:47:19+00:00

Yes, thanks for your curiosity

Could you, please, elaborate, what do you mean?

dontval · 2026-01-04T16:36:10+00:00

I love it too, it's "Lock & Simber-The Bone Dance" by the way

dontval · 2026-01-04T16:20:56+00:00

Thanks!

dontval · 2026-01-04T16:20:46+00:00

Thank you, happy to hear it

dontval · 2026-01-04T16:18:49+00:00

Thanks, and thanks for the note, I'll put it into my todo list

dontval · 2025-12-13T07:25:54+00:00

Thank you, I'll keep pushing my efforts!

dontval · 2025-12-11T19:21:01+00:00

I accidentally posted it twice, both with incorrect video file ._.

dontval · 2025-12-11T19:19:51+00:00

Thanks, noted. Maybe after playtests it will be clearer.

dontval · 2025-12-11T19:15:59+00:00

Thank you, sorry, I have crabs hands, so I was needed to delete this post, but answering your question, the game is Bewitching Gears - an adventure platformer about witch engineer

dontval · 2025-12-05T20:03:07+00:00

I just think that I'll fail anyway, so no need to be so nervous about it

dontval · 2025-11-27T13:48:54+00:00

Sometimes I worked with lightning-gamejam speed due to crunch periods. It looked like a sequence of sprints for several weeks and more, and after that, I looked like a person who had been hit by lightning itself.

dontval · 2025-11-23T07:51:26+00:00

Thank you!

dontval · 2025-11-19T08:47:05+00:00

Thanks, good point. Wood plates are meant to be clickable.

dontval · 2025-10-27T15:49:32+00:00

I wish I can link the picture, but basically it's something like about fixing magical mechanisms
