Deliria

Why doesn't the dev just put the game in Early Access? The game is literally unfinished this isn't anywhere close to a release.

Here is a list of things I think should be changed and a few things I enjoy. CHANGES: - Fix the UI menus (overly complex and hard to read, making it generally difficult to understand what is going on) <-- This is one of the biggest changes I think need to be done to the game as it feels cluttered. - Fix that you can push NPCs through the floor with block placement. - Change the audio sliders not being uniform with one another, they are sized based on text length so if one slider is one length its going to appear differently. - Change graphic settings from numbers to text. Most people aren't going to know what 5 is. - Fix some things floating like plants etc in world generation. - Fix speaking to someone and interacting with things. Sometimes if I am not looking at a crafting table and looking at the NPC the NPC will bug out and make it like I am speaking to him. - Change some of the textures because they are not seamless and you can see they clip - Change mining thing items etc to whole numbers instead of decimal (Just makes no sense to have .2 of a piece of wood I don't see the use of that) - Change and remove the player in the menus only have them rendered for character creation and in game. If you want the character rendered have it rendered on the main page and have it render your main player that you decide so you can have unique players on boot. - Adapt and make missions a bit more clear. - Add tutorial for what is going on as its a little unclear at first especially if someone might not have played terraria or similar. - Improve the building mechanic. its janky and doesn't snap well. - Change the recipes to display optionally, I don't want to see all of the stuff you can unlock straight away, I prefer being able to see them as I make them or find it as I play. - Change Combat as it's weird. I see the vision however I don't at the same time. Not sure how you could approach it in another manner. - RELEASE PATCH NOTES ON STEAM NOT JUST DISCORD. - This should be marked as Early Access not a full release the reason being this feels like a playtest not a full featured game. What is great: - I love the Lovecraftian theme, the creatures are wild to look at. - I like the music, its fun to hear and it blends nicely. - from what I have seen there is a lot to do. - I look forward to boss fights and like the idea of the Necronomicon. - A nice abundance of weapons, armours, pets etc. - The worlds look trippy, bizarre and out of place which is interesting and enjoyable to explore. In no way do I think the game is terrible or just bad. I just think it's in need of a little updating and more time in the oven. While I appreciate the effort that Linesway has put into this game I cannot recommend the game right now. Perhaps in a few months/end of the year this could change. I will try to put some more time into this game but as of right now I feel like there is some blaring issues that should be fixed. If you have constructive comments and disagree with me I am happy to discuss or improve on what I have written. I put more effort into this review than 99% of my reviews purely because I want improvements.

So, I'm not gonna go straight for the throat on the game itself, because quite frankly the obvious issues have been talked to death and for what it's worth, the game does a few things right in its gameplay. I remain quite hopeful for the game, and I thought I would give it time to change, and this is obviously the developer's first game. But after sleeping over it a couple times I realized I can't really stand on a neutral opinion for this game. Not because of the game itself necessarily, but because of the attitude and underlying direction of the game's development. First of all, this game has AI assets. A large majority of icons, boxes, backgrounds- most 2D images in this game, outside of the renders and text, is AI. Logo, AI, title, AI, the promotional materials and trailers include AI. And when I brought this up in the Discord server, I was immediately hit with the obvious "not everything is AI," "it's not AI," the whole shabang. But I, word-for-word quote, heard the developer say "i alr addressed it here there's no ai in the game." Comments before my conversation include "none of this is in the final game, there is no ai usage," and "ill archive this chat either today or tomorrow because ai accusations are very disrespectful to both the assets purchased, and all the hard work the artists put into the game including myself." Which brings me to this second point. This game is, clearly, going to attract a lot of members of the Terraria community, and adjacent "cheap indie sandbox games." Supplemented with what I've seen in the forums and Discord, I can say with high certainty- this is the exact infantile, immature community that lacks any common sense / perception and likes to shut down any conversation that offends them. Just like the Terraria modding scene. Literal kids that struggle to stomach any basic criticism or, hell, basic observation like the AI the developer so adamantly refuses is there. Luckily ego can't moderate or shut down Steam reviews. So, I end with this. I don't like AI, I would prefer developers be rigorous about not using it and cover every base where there might even be a hint of AI in this game. But more importantly, don't create an immature community where you would rather bathe in the validation and biases of a bunch of idiots or, once again, literal kids who have the social / observational skills of pinecones. The only thing worse than an insufferable game is an insufferable community and mindset, and I've been in the relevant communities long enough to see how this plays out if people get too comfortable with it. The game has AI. Don't say it doesn't have AI. And my personal preference is don't use AI. Especially if you're going to talk about "artists" as if these assets weren't bought from unfiltered asset stores and outsourced to "artists" who will, frankly, lie about their assets being AI. If you want a good game, the first step is setting standards for yourself. Then cultivating a more mature community.

I dont ever write reviews. But think this one deserves one. First off I really like this game and I know it has alot of potential and needs a lot of love. The building and combat system need alot of work. Its really clunky. Also the game need to get more optimized really laggy when traveling to different bioms almost unplayable. But im willing to look pass this being a solo dev. I do really like the boss battles seeing the gigantic monsters are really cool and traveling around the map. I would recommend the game if you like terraria and understand that its a very unpolished game. I really hope the dev doesnt give up on this game. I want to see it more polished.

Игра разрабатывалась более 5 лет. Релиз переносили 3 раза. По итогу я играю в какую то демо версию игры, в нынешнем состоянии она не стоит своих денег. Надеюсь что её доведут до играбельного состояния (я застревал в воздухе кстати).

It breaks my heart to have to leave a negative review. I followed this game from the first few posts the dev made on reddit and it being the fan made 3d, we all know. the release as Delirira has been rough and too soon. it has so much potential and we all know how passionate the dev is, but, thats where the problem lies. Your passion only goes so far. Please get some rest, take a breath, and stop breaking one fix while fixing a break.

Как написало большинство комментаторов, игре требуется плашка "ранний доступ". Из замеченного: 1. Боёвка странная - я пока так и не понял чем она пытается быть, надо побольше поиграть, но некоторые анимации будто бы можно смело убирать, они ломают скорость боя с вражескими НПС. 2. Чересчур яркая игра - мои глаза болят после минут 40. ночью находится в или около дома просто невозможно, когда ставишь больше 1-го факела. Была бы возможность вставил бы скриншот как это выглядит, но поверьте - выглядит не очень. Ситуация не сильно меняется и вовремя дня: кажется, будто бы Мунлорд со своей орбиты с прожектора бьёт(по началу может так не казаться, но спустя время глаза начинают болеть) 3. Стройка - по факту, будто бы, не плохая концепция колеса выбора: в нём можно выбрать как поставить тот или иной материал. Например "землю" можно поставить как: блок, сферу, стену, платформу и т.п. А на деле местами топорная механика, бывает ставишь наверху стену, а у тебя снизу дверь забетонировало, ставишь платформу и, каким-то образом, она выходит за стену. По итогу, после работы над вторым этажом дома, первый этаж выглядит как лабиринт, а на высоте пола второго этажа выступают ненужные блоки. 4. Ужасный интерфейс - главное меню выглядит еще нормально, но вот когда заходишь в игру - начинается тряска. Нажимаешь на "TAB" - интерфейс списка игроков без фона из-за чего он сливается с сильно ярким окружением и капец; нажимаешь на "escape" - получай список заданий в лицо и не сразу определяешься где тут настройки-то, твою мать, чтобы сделать потемнее, так как глаза уже выгорают; Инвентарь не удобный. За инвентарь обидно, вот прям жирный минус. Инвентарь в таких играх очень важное, можно было у терки подсмотреть как там сделали, никто бы ниче не сказал: все и так знают, что игра - 3д реализация Террарии. Я могу продолжить, но если подытожить, то ВЕСЬ интерфейс игры ПРОСИТ переработки - он неприятен. По итогу мы получаем продукт, который ЖЕЛАТЕЛЬНО КАК МОЖНО СКОРЕЕ, если это возможно, ПОСТАВИТЬ В РАННИЙ ДОСТУП. Называя его "полной версией" - это обман своего комьюнити, оттого и резкие оценки(особенно цена в 20 долларов, но мне повезло, я купил уже после снижения цены). НО принимая во внимание тот факт, что ,в большинстве своём, игру делал один человек и это его первый релиз(не у всех получается в одного сделать сразу хорошо) будем не сильно строги с автором. По моему мнению свет требует коррекции(тщательной!), GUI - переработки, стройка - отладки, боёвка(по крайней мере ближний бой точно, остальное, вроде как, норм) - доработки. Продукту ставлю лайк, так как дизлайков и без того много, да и всё ни так ужасно, нужно просто ПОРАБОТАТЬ) Разработчику успеха и сил в доработке и продвижения игры, потому как реализация идеи, по итогу, неплохая. Edit 1: отключая Post Proccesing в 0 свет становится не таким ярким, но это не отменяет факта того, что он требует коррекции.
