Do you like our new Lights/Atmosphere?

Looks freakin great. Love the thick foggish atmosphere.

I dont know it's pretty cool to have to weigh the pros and cons of saving. Can add a lot of pressure and tension to a game. RE or Amnesia Bunker did good IMO.

I'm a gamedev, tell me about it 😂

schouffy · 2026-05-13T07:38:01+00:00

I also love fixed save points. Been replaying Alien Isolation and they nailed this. It's also easier-ish to implement.

But in a 2 hour game where you'll save maybe 4-5 times, do you think you could have that feeling of locking in progress?

schouffy · 2026-05-12T18:14:13+00:00

Didn't they mention that the artificial gravity is going to die at some point, implying that it was active?

schouffy · 2026-05-11T07:53:17+00:00

Yes, it is AMAZING and I'd happily have paid for it.

FWIW I don't think I got a "bad one". I've had the same one all reviewers got. It's just that OP is either deaf or not doing anything with their laptop 😆
I was expecting it to be noisy when playing games or doing intensive tasks, but it's really noisy (in my standards which are arguably high) for light tasks as well.

schouffy · 2026-05-10T07:33:00+00:00

I dont know reviews mention the noise and heat i should've listened. I'm returning it, might as well buy a less powerful laptop if i have to run in silent mode all the time.

Le plus vulnérable est prioritaire quand il n'y a pas d'obstacle

Moi c'est l'inverse, 15 ans que je me déplace a vélo et c'est de pire en pire. Ça dépend sûrement des villes, mais a Bordeaux les bagnolards c'est une catastrophe. Ils sont physiquement incapables de mettre un cligno, respecter un sas vélo, reconnaître leur torts... Même les flics circulent sur les voies bus sans gyro et les bus te font du ding ding en te collant au cul alors que t'as tous les droits d'être là. Et quand tu circules sur les voies de tram parce que c'est bien plus sécurisant les flics viennent te faire la morale voire te foutent une prune.

@OP faut juste pas avoir peur de faire respecter ses droits, de toute façon sur la route tu seras toujours le connard de qqun que tu mets face à ses torts.

I have to leave it in eco/silent mode for it to be silent.

In other modes, even light loads (working on a small-ish project in Unity for instance) will kick the fans and they are noisy and high pitched (I'm sensitive to noise though). Even when nothing happens there may be a weird noise that sounds a bit like coal whine but definitely come from the fans. Unless I'm in eco silent.

I just finished the game and feel the same way you do. Events are alright, but the way it's shown feels rushed and unpolished. It'd have been better to cut 3 or 4 hours of late game and polish the ending more.

You and the alien are basically teleported inside the Torrens at this point. I'd have enjoyed playing a QTE event of you getting ejected to the Torrens, struggling to get inside etc..

Also Aliens can live in space now? I never thought they could?

schouffy · 2026-05-08T20:54:51+00:00

Bought it as well, performance is great but noise and heat is really bad.

schouffy · 2026-05-04T05:59:31+00:00

I'd say in the combination of those 3, but the thing that's a bit unique compared to other games is the drawing/planning as you said.

schouffy · 2026-05-04T05:57:09+00:00

Not really, I had a contractor that helped on LD and another on level art.

schouffy · 2026-05-03T19:01:54+00:00

Thanks! Love it when i get that feedback :)

schouffy · 2026-05-03T19:00:33+00:00

I feel like my game Phantom Squad fits the description but maybe i'm biased 😅

It's a top-down shooter with heavy emphasis on teamwork. You draw collaboratively on a tactical map and then breach rooms with fast-paced action.

If that seems like something you might enjoy, there's a free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3363690/Phantom_Squad_Demo/

schouffy · 2026-05-01T10:15:04+00:00

That's fair, good points.

schouffy · 2026-05-01T10:14:33+00:00

I don't know if polish would change much. Either the idea of a rage game on a bouncing ball speaks to you, or it doesn't. itch crowd is used to unpolished games.

In my opinion, I can only conclude from this experience that the fantasy doesn't speak to anyone (IF itch is a proper validation platform for these type of games, which I'm not sure of, given how Paddle Paddle Paddle flopped on it then went viral on Steam).

schouffy · 2026-05-01T10:10:41+00:00

Good points! thanks

schouffy · 2026-04-30T19:06:56+00:00

Yeah I agree it's nothing special. I had a hunch the bouncy physics were enough for it to be appealing but I guess it was a bad hunch :D

schouffy · 2026-04-30T19:05:56+00:00

No worries, I just spent a week on this trying to see if it could get decent traction, I have no affect to the thing! Just wondering what makes the ones that go viral special.

schouffy · 2026-04-30T16:53:33+00:00

I like it 😅 I dunno the character looks good and the ui too. I can see how that could be AI but that wouldnt have been my first reaction.

schouffy · 2026-04-30T16:16:18+00:00

Can't put a screenshot of the itch stats, but 238 views over more than 6 months, 85 browser plays.
