So, Hello fellow DevForum people! I am angelosoria, an alpha wolf (Single person) developer that creating this game called “Asylum | Santiago Hospital”.
Basically, I need feedback and suggestion for my work in progress game, that feedback and suggestion can be helpful to me as an alpha wolf because different imagination used to make my game possible.
Also, I put this topic on “Cool Creation” because I think it uses all feedback categories like building, scripting, UI, etc.
This is my game currently at maybe 15% of in progress as of now.
[Asking for help]
If you already play my game in second place, you already see how a player teleports and facing on the wrong way. I don’t know what it’s called or what will I do on that problem.
The main menu and UI are very well made. You added facts when teleporting which is nice to keep the player entertained while teleport is in progress. Only thing I would change about that is the length of one fact on the screen because they change pretty fast so I see same ones often. The inside of hospital looks nice, lights powering on and off really fit in and add to the environment. After all, the game looks very good for now.
First thing I noticed when I spawned in, I kind of just appear. No fade in or something. I also noticed that the area around the path is completely barren which looks kind of weird, maybe a few trees.
So when I entered the building, it looked pretty spooky. But the dead silence kind of draws me away from the atmosphere, maybe have some subtle music and/or a mysterious noise that comes down from the end of the hallway. The light flickering is also a nice touch.
I checked around the rooms, they are pretty much the right size, not too big or too small. However, the final room on the right is pretty much empty, I’m thinking this is mostly because it isn’t finished yet. But you did a good job of filling the rooms up and making them different.
Based on the final picture, the flashlight’s lighting is a little weird and probably could use some tweaking. I’m no expert on flashlight creation so I can’t really help you create a better one, but just know it can use some improvements.
In terms of GUI, the menu is great, love it. I also love the facts, they speak the truth. But one thing that kind of bothered me was the health and stamina GUI. It is too large and bulky. I would shrink it and instead of having it stacked on top of each other, have it horizontal.
Overall, good progress and has some potential. Keeping working on it and I really hope this helps.
