So, first off I'm gonna be fair and real, I will not refund this as I geniuently hope this game gets better,
but at the other hand I cannot with a straight face say that I recommend it until some major flaws get straighened out.
So, I only played level 1 to completion and level 2 about half way, and I already see issues
1. The game has a definite preformance issue, I dont have the strongest of PC's but it can run Doom Eternal on low at about 60 FPS, and here on low I didn't get the exact number but I could tell it was lower
2. The gun play is, meh, the guns don't have that much of an "umpf"
3. The animations are fine but the P90 obscures too much view, the cirno fumos' shooting animation is bugged (when you shoot you flip it around, if you shoot it again it flips around again)
4. The FX slider doesn't a thing it only lowers the volume of the revolver
5. The explosive knifes move rapidly every like half a second, which it could be intentional but its just unintuitive and annoying to aim with
6. The enemies can be heard constntly no matter where you are
7. I could hear the enemies outside of the map
8. The pause menu stays on screen for a while after the game is unpaused
9. Enemies can shoot through walls
But onto the more complicated issue which is the game desgin, So I don't mean bugs or gripes with the weapons or whatever, but the though behind the game
The UI is really nice
But it's lay out could use some work, The "Start New Game" button should be at the top, since this is what new players gravitate twoards, The load game button should just say "Load Game" so it doesn't take up too much visual realesstate. In the options the option to lower enemy sounds should just be combined with the SFX volume slider, and maybe give more options to recude the quality of the game
As for the acual game,
The first room I like the concept of which is the difficulty select like quake, which i only saw Amid Evil doing more recently, but unlike those two games which have the difficulty and chapter select be this littel mini-level, this is just three doors on a wall, and I don't see why it couldn't be done with a simple UI screen asking you to pick a difficulty
While playing I noticed something,
You start off high in the air (for some reason), and it's not even like a grand entrance since Sakuya doesn't hit the ground with an impact, or a screen shake, just plops down for some reason. The enemies are very VERY basic, if two enemies see you at the exact same time, they will follow this boring and very predicatble pattern, add a couple "random()" to the code, or look up Decinos' Doom AI Youtube video. Why Doom? Because the AI in that game is alos very basic but much more fun to play with considering all the variation they can do. The rabbit also yell constantly and it gets annoying after the first 2 minutes, the enemies have the same models, animations, sounds, everything, so the game has this feeling of
"Im gonna paste in a random level model, and CTRL + C and CTRL + V enemies around and call it a game" type of asset flip, which I know is not the case because I saw on twitter that It has a heart of it's,
You can't jump for some reason, it would give the game more depth, make more enemy variation, and try to desgin levels with some though behind it and not just a random beach or space station with enemies hap hazardly placed around it with no rime or reason. Also dont give the player every weapon at the start, make some preoggression and make the game have some sort of start and end. And what makes the game feel cheap is that things like sakuya hands and the revolver has cell shading... and nothing else, even other weapons so there is a visual diffrence inside the game.
Also I saw your GZDoom game and from what I see it a lot better, this game needs a lot more time in the oven. Better level desin, better enemy design, imrpoved perfomance optimization, I just feel what your selling could be more of a demo of what awaits the players rather than an actual game.
Again, dont take it too negatively, and I hope the best for all
