ad movere

I'm am writing this review on day of release and writing this from my first impressions from my first play through, depending on the quality of the next couple chapters I may change this review or remove it and replace it. Chapter 1: Development time to Game time First off, seeing as how this game (the first chapter) is only 10 minutes long you could get the jist of the game from the steam showcase slides. I would like to start my review stating that this game has been in development for months, by what I am assuming is just either Haru or a team of 2-4 people to compare game jam developers by themselves can make a better game in a day. I'm pretty sure this game was in development for around like 6-9 months? To compare the game Fallout New Vegas was developed in 18 months and is one of the best games of all time. Even if something happened where you had to remake all the assets half way through development the game could have been made a lot longer and better if more effort was put in (I see little effort put into this game as of day of release) Chapter 2: Optimization/ Performance I have played erotic visual novels that run better than this, that is all I have to say for this chapter. Chapter 3: Writing The writing on this game fell flat around a minute in, many games and stories have used einsteins theory of relativity to explain major plot points or magical happenings, your writing is not good just because you used the theory of relativity its just unoriginal and un-creative unless done in a proper way. Characters feel like they're self insert 16 year old girls, writers most likely haven't been to college if so they didn't do enough research on it to make it feel like college. TL:DR Poorly written, non cohesive, non engaging, and it has no soul. Chapter 4: Art Pretty bad, characters look pretty basic. But some slides are actually pretty good and pleasant to the eyes, speaking of eyes please make the eyes on the characters look better they peer into my soul. TL:DR Could be good with some practice Chapter 5: The End Honestly I was expecting much more, this game was being hyped up in several circles I'm in, and its very disappointing to see it like this. I think it could be much better with a lot more love and effort put in, in fact I really want to see what the finished product could be like if more effort was put in, there is potential if some of the plot holes are fixed and the characters are altered just a little bit. For now I'm putting this as a negative review but I have hope that when this game is finished (Whenever that may be) I can come back and remove this review and place a positive one. The reason I may seem very harsh in this review is that I would love to see this game improve and be good, I think you can make this game good with a lot more work. I traded around 10 minutes of my life at McDonalds for Ad Movere, I hope you can make those 10 minutes I wasted at McDonalds worth it.
