Feedback for a new reactor game (Devlog)

I am working on a new reactor game with my friend Avasyz called GS Antimatter Research Facility. It is a remake of a previous game called GS Mountainside Research Facility, but this time we are making the design similar to QSERF, a very popular core game.

Update 1: GS Antimatter Research Facility

Here are some pictures of the reactor control rooms from the 3 games:

QSERF:

Update 2: Yukon National Labs V1

Unfortunately, it was discontinued for work on another game called Yukon National Labs. It was supposed to be an unofficial Quantum Science game but it was rebranded as an RMA official game.
The game in question was not planned. Instead, we started building it from the topside rather than planning the reactor first.

Here are some pictures of the Topside:


There were originally turnstiles in this area, but I deleted them and revamped the area.

Offices sector:

We started getting inspired by DSRB when we built the sublevel floors.
Sublevel 1:


This is where the DSRB inspiration really shows


The train station was done but the train is unfinished.

This would have been the elevator from the Reactor station to the Control room. It was connected to the station via a hallway.

Since we designed the Reactor Control Room after the path the player was going to take to get there, we were originally going to use the reactor chamber and control room from GS Antimatter Research Facility. However, Avasyz decided to make a light crystal reactor with six lasers shooting into it. This also meant that the chamber and control room were going to be created from scratch.
The Reactor control room originally had a DSRB-style layout made by Avasyz but we eventually revamped the layout.
The reactor, which looked like the LPU, also got a revamp with the chosen design being based on the Contained Atom Reactor from one of our previous facilities. The laser design was reused since it didn’t look like the DSRB Reactor.
The chamber was built after the reactor and its design was inspired by Garamond Research Facility.
After the panels and screens were made, the game was discontinued and replaced. This was to avoid backlash from DSRB staff.

The screenshots below are of YNL V1 after avasyz stopped being inspired by DSRB. It was unfortunately discontinued because he did not like how it looked.

Update 3: Yukon National Labs V2

Unfortunately, this game was also abandoned because avasyz did not like how it looked. He created Yukon National Labs V2 to have much more detail. However, that game was cancelled because of one of our developers threatened to take the game down.




This elevator infamously does not work in some areas


Main facility hub which also functions like a bunker


This is where one gets the startup keys


The infamous topside



Some more unoriginal topside areas


The only salvageable part of the topside

This elevator infamously does not work because the main facility loads in AFTER the elevator teleports the player, so to go down you have to repeatedly jump to stay on the elevator and not fall through.

Update 4: Soldotna/Sarasota Research Labs

This facility used the exact same reactor from YNL V2, but was built in the style of QSML3 V3 rather than Sitka National Labs and QSERF. It was cancelled because of threats to take down the game similarly to the previous game.

The unfinished “main facility” featuring an office that belongs to the very developer whose actions forced us to cancel this game and the one before.

very long hallway

Update 5: St. Armands/Sarasota Containment Labs

After SRL was cancelled, avasyz worked on other games such as Project: Nevada and Astraline before creating this game. This is still an ongoing project

Update 5A: Shasta Valley Research Labs (SRL V2)

When SCL’s topside was still in development, avasyz worked on another game. This game only had a topside, some dormitories, and provisions for a train system that was never built. It was abandoned when avasyz began work on Astraline, and was never updated afterwards due to resumed work on SCL.

Not bad. I’m actually working on a remake of QSML1 rn. Funny how we both work on similar games.
