Alright, now I was able to play for a bit. I’ll start with things that I really enjoyed! The events were neat, unique, and their effects were really great. I love the concept of building your own island. The design of the game is amazing. I like resource harvesting, it’s a very unique take to this type of game.
Now, to the issues… I’m going to be very critical with these, please don’t take it negatively.
Joining a match is very confusing. I wish there was some sort of portal or physical labeled way to easily match. I don’t understand how it works right now. It says I can queue with 25 players, does this mean I’ll join a server that allows players to join after? I don’t want to be alone the entire time. It’s VERY hard to understand how it works!
The same thing happens with building. I didn’t even realize I could enter build mode until I finished a round. I don’t know how to use the build menu that well. I watched the tutorial, but it gave me no hands on experience. I think the build menu is also broken for me. I don’t know how to place the objects down either? The times I did get blocks to place, it was SO expensive, just for a little bit of material!
I wish I was able to collect resources whilst in a round. Resource collection is awesome, but it’s not very fun sitting around in the lobby the entire time. I want some action! Same with building, it would be awesome if I could work on my sky island whilst playing the game.
The chat and camera feel weird. The chat doesn’t behave like the normal chat, something is off about it, it makes it frustrating. My camera’s sensitivity is messed up, it doesn’t feel how it normally should. I can’t describe it in detail, but that feeling is different. I suspect that you forked / remade these two systems, which I don’t recommend doing.
The game is very quiet. Too quiet. Sounds are super important for user feedback. Button sounds, prompt sounds, building sounds, interaction sounds, music, etc. All of this would help a lot!
I absolutely believe that this game has a lot of potential. The concept is great. I understand the game is new, but right now the bugs are what make it hard to play. You have the foundation down and it’s only progress from here!
