Fox Game

"Fox Game" is a weird one... the developer abandoned this early build of their game "Harmony in the Wild" and made a new store page, I guess they weren't aware they can just, you know, not do that and keep their store page. Or maybe they decided they didn't want people who had gotten this version of the game for free to get the finished game that they want to charge money for... pretty scummy, charging for patches, basically. Anyway something doesn't feel right about the way the developer carried themselves on this and experience shows that's not a feeling that should be ignored. Trust me, I've reviewed over 15,000 games, I know when something is off. What do you do in the game? Well, it's a cutesy 3D adventure/platformer type game, that's incomplete and abandoned because the developer wants you to buy the same game but with more patches. If they ever make it... this free version was a complete and utter failure. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 5 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough. Remember, this is just here now to advertise "Harmony in the Wild", which is a game that isn't even available yet. [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The developer breached Valve guidelines to incriminate themselves... this was a student project, an incomplete "demo" game made not for you, the gamer, but to make students feel like maybe they passed the course. Without any consideration about what would be best for gamers. Thing is... Steam isn't supposed to be a dumping ground for student homework like this. Steam Direct is a well intentioned disaster for enabling this kind of stuff. The developer took deliberate steps to hide the fact this is just a homework assignment from gamers... deliberate misrepresentation. The developer, digging themselves a very deep hole, announces they then want to try to get YOUR money for their homework assignment. Frankly, if they passed the course, then the educational institution they went to should be delisted and defunded. Why? Because the FIRST thing game development courses should be teaching is that gamers, the customer, is more important than the developer. However, it's pretty obvious here the developer thinks he's much, much more important than you are. That disgusting attitude explains the extent of this failure, but it excuses none of it. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this failed homework assignment to anyone.

Да я конечно понимаю что игра создана студентами и является бесплатной, да и выпущена недавно, но все же пока что на данный момент игра выглядит очень очень сыро. Первое что бросается в глаза это стремные анимации либо их отсутствие, например бег просто обычная анимация просто с большей скоростью, которая даже не попадает в такт. Во вторых некоторые объекты прозрачны, например медведь на старте. Да и Лиса может упасть с горы и ей ничего не будет, добавьте урон от падения. Вообщем понятно что это НЕ худшая игра и задумка была возможно интересна, но реализации подкачала, ждем патчей в будущем и аргументированный ответ от разработчика. Да конечно лисики милые пуфыстики, но все же. На данный момент не рекомендую.

I liked the premise of this game and the environment, bit if there's one thing that could be improved that would be a big help is if I had a shadow projected directly below my fox. This is because without any generated shadows, I lose track of my depth perception on a 2D monitor and regularly misjudge distances.

very beautiful storybook elements

SUPER!!!

lazy unfinished tech demo of poorly made unity 3d game where its faster to jump up paths then to actually walk up them.Also the animation of the fox walking is all wrong and should pay more attention to it such as watch some real life videos on how animals actually move and not just limp along as a normal walk animation. Since you can skip needing to talk to the bear at the start of the world showing that it is unfinished tech demo with nothing to do no fall damage even in the game or anything to collect, platform,etc just a walking simulator. Just go play anything else other then this boring,dull game.
