Frame of Mind

последняя головоломка гавна

"Frame of Mind" is one of literally thousands of student projects infesting Steam. It's from Media Design School at Strayer in Auckland, NZ. While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" made games, we must still question what value such projects have for gamers. As with all student projects, this isn't really a fully fleshed out game, it's just the result of an academic exercise, and as such it has much more limited value as a game than a professionally developed game would have. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. The students made what is a remarkable effort for a student project (and while experimentally interesting, is not enough to really compete with professionally developed games). It's a third person plaformer where you're placed into a minimalist environment and navigating through each level exposes confusing non-euclidean puzzle content... an almost worthy concept enough to compete with Portal or QUBE, but unfortunately not backed by professional quality delivery. This game features very lacklustre minimalist "art" for graphics instead of anything remotely contemporary. I'm sure the "developer" thought this would come across as "artistic", but it doesn't, it comes across as "really lazy". Yes, contemporary 3D graphics take a lot of time and effort to create. That doesn't mean it's okay not to bother! Developers must try to understand that gaming is a visual medium, and gamers spend a lot of money on high end gaming rigs for a reason. And that reason is not so they can look at lazy, phoned-in half efforts like this. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. It would be wholly unethical for students to charge gamers money for their homework assignments, so this doesn't carry a price tag. However, it's not our job as gamers to grade students homework. Maybe this is worth your time if you're an out of work teacher who really misses doing the marking, but for everyone else, not so much. In terms of public reception, this failed to appeal to the 130 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at just a dozen or so concurrent players, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. Since this is more of a student tech demo than a full, genuinely made game for gamers, and offers no Steam features, like a +1 to your game count, I can't recommend downloading this over a full, professionally made game, of which there are thousands here on Steam.

很有趣的小品解謎

oyunun seviyelerini tamamlamaktan ziyade seviyede ki eşyalar ilgimi çekti, baya yaratıcı davranmışlar.

Very cool lite mindfck game. Loved it. Especially awesome that it unlocks speedrun mode for those interested in. Only thing that sucks is its a Unity game. Great engine and all but still uses utter trash DX11 at this day and age instead of Vulkan or DX12. It sucks but developers can't do much. As a fellow Unity dev myself know for a fact that Unity runs horrible on any APIs other than DX11 or OpenGL. There are workarounds but outcome is still unpleasant. Easiest solution is to use DXVK to translate those garbage DX11 calls to Vulkan and stabilize the game. Not that its unoptimized or anything game runs awesome but I still love my CPU and GPU to treat it nicely lol. Anyway, great short game loved it and 100% recommended.

What a creative puzzle game. Each puzzle forces you to think outside the box. The graphics are visually kinda polished, built around clever optical illusions that keep the environments immersive. * After you finish the game, the speed run section unlocks. It's cool, but if they add a leaderboard to see how other players have done, it could be better. *

Спасибо за приятные полчаса.

dawno mnie tak leb nie bolal zachowajcie ostroznosc przy tej grze

ゆっくりプレイで2時間でクリア 不思議でちょっと不気味、どこか不安定なモノトーンの3D世界をぬる～～っと進む パズルゲーとしては正直不親切で、不可解・不明瞭なところも多い（あれ今なんでクリアできた？てのもある） …と、文にすると「不」ばっかりなんだけど、決してツマラナイわけでもない 何だかよく分からん夢を見た後（でも寝覚めは悪くない）のような気分になれる 日本語未対応だけどそもそもゲーム中に文章ないから大丈夫 無料だし、ふっとプレイしてみるのもおすすめ
