hey, I keep running into a few issues. during the scene with coach in the shower, sometimes when using the faucet, and checking his clothes hanging up, it will cause the game to have an error. this also happens when you check things in chester's room. this started happening after I went back to a previous save after I went through the scene because I wanted to check things again
Ahh, yeah, when starting an old save and progressing forward, it does cause issues due to variables that weren't in the game when that save was made. The only way around those types of errors is by using a fresh restart.
Cards and Money are the only 2 results that actually GET something out of it. Everything else was just for the fun it while I was testing something new x3
So far, one thing that's really just jarring to me is the 2d sprites and 3d backgrounds. I'd also really recommend working on that text box and please. This does have some potential, but it's really jarring for the sprites and the background to be two different ways. Also, the lack of music is killing me. Even if it's just "test" tracks, I'd find something you could borrow to portray a mood. Or sfx you could use:
* Cafe sounds - People talking or a light wind * Library - Clock ticking
Backgrounds are part of the future endeavor, but CM is quite the busy artist, so they are going to take time to get there. I seem to get pretty mixed reviews about that. Overall, I do want them to mesh better with the characters though, so I'd prefer them to be drawn instead of 3D renders. Ya know, I've not really thought about the text box in a while. It's something I threw together when I prepping the project, and I've barely thought about it since. It really does need an update too x3
Same with the sound, it's a work in progress. I've experimented with it in recent updates, and the overall verdict I'm coming to is just to add ambiance noises to most scenes, like what you've suggested here.
Thanks! There's still tons of work to be done here ;D
I'm really looking forward to it! Yeah, I was being very overcritical of the game while playing it, but I remember since you're the only one really doing the work outside the art, there's an accomplished amount of progress! I mean I think the one 3D background that was a placeholder so far that impressed me was the cafe one.
The UI as an whole could be cool if revamped a little. I recommend going with a more casual san serif font myself. You definitely got me caught into Spencer's story at the moment though and was surprised when I heard music honestly. I can't wait to see more additions and improvements.
Don't worry about it! Too many people aren't critical enough, I think. I really appreciate the honest feedback (even if I get defensive about it!). A lot of the stuff I whip together in 3D doesn't take much time at all, and I like it more than the grey backgrounds! It's getting there though x3
I'd love to do more with the UI too. I've changed the fonts so many times now, it's driving me mad. I had to decide on one that is shared between MAC and PC users for the time being, since I was having a lot of people with MACs who didn't have the font I used on PC.
If THAT surprised you, you should have seen my BFs reaction to the car door noise I has used when I first started up. There was no music, and just that lone sound that randomly spiked in.

ahh okay

I downloaded the files but can't seem to run them on my phone or laptop. Does the demo support Android OS?
Currently, I don't have it set up for android. As for running it on your laptop, is it giving you some kind of error?

It seems good but it has a lot of room to grow.
