Volunteer

Volunteer me fez lembrar de muitos jogos antigos que são bons de jogar por ser difícil e sem a facilidade de voltar em um ponto de restauração quando você é morto/derrotado. Ele tem alguns problemas a corrigir? Tem! mas se as pessoas dar um feedback para a melhoria, poderá se tornar algo muito além de só + 1 game indie e encaminhar para um game prazeroso e divertido de se jogar. Feedback para melhoria: Opções de resolução Correção do machado (não está batendo no inimigo) Correção de pausa (o ESC como padrão pausa o jogo, porém ele sai do jogo) Correção de angulo de câmera (Algumas vezes o personagem se movimenta somente por olhar para cima e para baixo) Parabéns para os 2 desenvolvedores da R2 GamesStudios e continuem na melhoria do Volunteer e no desenvolvimento de mais jogos nesta categoria.

Volunteer is a primitive horror action game about a man who went to the laboratory to deal with monsters resulting from work on human DNA. It seems that there are already dozens of such plots in games. When entering the game we're greeted by the simplest menu in which you can see a brief history, key bindings and that's all. There're no settings in the game, neither graphic, nor interface settings, nor sound. Volunteer starts right away with the fact that you're in the room of either a hospital or a laboratory with a corpse lying nearby. No explanations or hints are given during the game. For some reason, a semblance of an employee's card is soaring over the corpse. However, when you press the action key nothing happens. In general, as you can understand, the essence of the game is to find keys and bullets in order to reach the end of the level. At the same time, along the way you have to get rid of monsters that look like zombies. Of the weapons there are: bare hands, with which it's almost impossible to cause damage; an ax, which is also very difficult to cause damage due to the fact that the monsters are actively moving, and it's difficult to point the camera at them; the machine gun is the only effective weapon with a fairly low radius of destruction and quickly consumed bullets. There's also a flashlight in the inventory which for some reason cannot be used with a weapon. Oh yes, when you press the action key, any weapon is automatically removed. And this is very inconvenient, because monsters often attack just at these moments. Final verdict: at the moment the project is unplayable. And I think that this situation won't change significantly in the future.

not ready, so many issues. don't hit ESC the game crashes. you look (mouse-up & W-forward) to jump. if hit any button it puts your weapon away (so when you open a door the gun goes away but that's when to enemy jumps out) no menu, no key rebind. Super washy gameplay. low frame rate. did I mention no menu to change anything. lots of clipping, horrible Axe animation. you can't look straight up or down and when an enemy gets close to you they're inside you where you can't shoot and if you move they follow inside you. it has potential but needs more attention.

[code]Вступай в [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/DreamsofGenesis]группу[/url] и [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/11769719/]кураторку[/url], если понравилось читать отзыв. [/code] Смешно. Но чую вступление с обозначением кураторки чуть не вышло больше, чем то что можно сказать о игре...хотя убрать воду и точно больше. Игра откровеннейший мусор. Вот в какой аспект не ткни - везде косяки. Заходим в меню - настроек нет. А если попытаться свернутся - разрешение максимум 800 на 600. Окей. Попробуем запустить игру. Запустили. Пробуем поднять голову чтоб осмотреться. А камера убегает куда-то в сторону...ну точнее вверх и в сторону. Потом понимаем что ни одна кнопка не подписана. Хотим выйти в меню - классическим нажатием ESC. А игра просто выключается.. Окей. Повторно включаем игру. Смотрим во вкладку "как играть". Запускаем игру и находим первого врага. Который застревает в кабинке....подходим к нему - он просто дергается будто эпилептик. Поворачиваем каеру и...он нас задевает... Идем чуть дальше. Из ниоткуда вываливается ещё один враг, который проскакивает сквозь текстуры. Когда мы сталкиваемся с каждой встречной. И просто убивает нас ваншотом... Но последней каплей стало осознание что - для поднятия некоторых предметов, нужно активно устраивать герою головокружение. Ведь значек "действия" может просто не появиться... В общем это очень плохо.

[h2]Volunteer[/h2] [h1]Literally Bug Paradise[/h1] No, this game is nowhere near ready for release. It’s literally filled with so many bugs and glitches. It’s not even optimized properly. The game is apparently being developed by two apprentice developers. But this doesn’t justify that they put the game up for sale in its current state. I don’t think they even bothered to playtest it as most of the issues are extremely obvious. I really hope they either remove the game from sale until they fix the issues and make it playable or at least fix the game as soon as possible. [h1]About This Game [/h1] [h2]Storyline [/h2] The game does have a very basic plot. How did I come to know this? Well, I read about it in the game’s description on its Steam Store page. There is no mention of the story in the actual game itself. It does exist as a menu in the main menu but not during the gameplay. I have no clue why they didn’t include it since it would actually elevate the overall gameplay experience by at least a bit. So, the story as per the game’s store page is as follows: [code]You play the part of a former soldier. He volunteers at a biotechnology clinic, where he experiments with human DNA, but the truth is that these experiments serve strange and obscure purposes. He awakens from a long coma in the middle of a completely different place than the one he arrived at. This is only the beginning of a battle to survive the murderous creatures and get out of this hellhole.[/code] So yeah, as you can see, the overall plot matches the generic “Zombie/Mutation Outbreak” stories. I am not complaining since they at least have a common yet decent plot. The issue is that they kinda excluded it from the actual game itself. I mean, you get to read it in the “History” tab available in the main menu, but that’s actually not how you reveal a plot to the players. Hope they come up with a creative way to blend it into the game! [h2]Gameplay Mechanics [/h2] This is the main issue in the game. The overall gameplay mechanics are extremely buggy and glitchy asf. I know why the game is in its current state since I am learning game development myself. This looks like one of the games that I make where I finish working on the base mechanics but only till the point they “Work” but aren’t polished in any way. So they are obviously very janky and kinda buggy until I start working on refining the individual mechanics one by one. I hope you get what I meant. So yeah, I don’t think they worked on making the gameplay mechanics smooth and just left the placeholder ones in the final game. I’ll just talk about the rest of the stuff in bullet points. [list] [*] When you first open the game, you can see a very simple main menu scene where you can start the game, see the controls, get to know the brief history of the game’s plot, and obviously a button to exit the game. The only cool part of the menu was that the Zombie creature thing moves according to the button you select. What was disappointing is that they have no settings menu whatsoever meaning that you can’t change anything in the game. You are forced to play in the settings the developers chose. On top of that, you need to use W and D to navigate through the main menu. You can’t use your mouse or even the arrow keys. I have no clue why they restricted it to just those two keys as it took me a while to figure it out. [*] Launching the game ♥♥♥♥♥ up the resolution of your screen. I have an FHD display and when I launch the game, everything apart from the game becomes weird since they get zoomed or something. You can’t even alt-tab without the game crashing. People are used to playing in borderless or windowed fullscreen mode and they failed in implementing that. I am sure the game is not optimized at all since I barely get 50-60 FPS in a game where the assets used don’t seem to be high quality. Even the gameplay videos on their Steam Store page look like it has been recorded in 20 FPS. [*] I am sure all gamers are used to using the Escape key to go back. Well, in this game, for some odd reason, whenever you hit the Escape Key, the game crashes. No, it doesn’t normally close, it literally crashes. It’s like that key has the power to kill the game. The developers need to look into this. [*] Now moving on to the core gameplay. Well, it’s equally horrible. First, you spawn into a random room where you see a dead body with an ID icon floating above it. You can’t interact with the icon at all. I have no clue why it exists. I thought it would give us a note or something but it plays no role at all. [*] Moving around also feels kinda weird and janky. There’s a lot of clipping and camera movement isn’t really smooth. Making a good First Person controller is not an arduous task in my opinion. [*] Next are the “Weapons”. Well, you have some kind of machine gun, your fists, and an axe. You also have a flashlight. Well, your fists are very weak when attacking so they’re only useful for interacting with interactables. The Axe kinda sucks as it’s pretty slow for some reason. And when you spam-click it, it resets the animation and sound which makes attacking even harder. The gun is okay but there is an issue with it. If you have the gun equipped and you are trying to escape from the enemies so you come up with a door with which you need to interact, so you interact with it. Well, you can’t interact with anything with the gun or axe equipped. This forces you to switch to the fists, interact with the object then switch back to the weapon. Switching is hard since you are forced to use keys instead of the scroll wheel. This also leaves you vulnerable to attacks. [/list] There are so many more issues and they equally contribute to making this game unplayable. The game needs a huge rework. I recommend removing/hiding the game from Steam as of now and fixing it so that it’s at least playable. [h2]Visuals & Audio[/h2] I don’t know what good the visuals and sounds of a game are when the overall gameplay is horrible. But if we ignore that fact for a moment, the visuals are decent. The assets they used aren’t high quality but it really doesn’t matter since the game is usually dark. But as mentioned before, there are a lot of clipping issues. The animations are very janky too. The sounds aren’t that impressive either. But both of these aspects are way better than the overall gameplay experience. [h1]Pros[/h1] Well, this is awkward. This is the first time I could not think of anything good about a game. I mean, this game does have potential but its current condition is what matters the most. [h1]Cons[/h1] [list] [*] Literally unplayable as of now. [*] Everything about this game is so rough and janky. It feels incomplete. [*] Rich in bugs and glitches. [/list] [h1]Conclusion[/h1] I hope the developers don’t get mad at my review. I promise I have no ill intentions. Just constructive criticism. There is potential for the game to be at least decent if they fixed all the existing issues. I mean, yes, it’s pretty impressive that two developers worked on this title. But there are a lot of games made by literal solo devs that are amazing like the ones by Dani or the recent horror title “Choo-Choo Charles” by Two Star. Anyways, I hope they improve the game’s condition as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the game in its current condition. I hope they rework the game so I can edit my review and actually recommend the game instead.

Volunteer is an ambitious narrative driven FPS whose imagination is only matched by the woeful quality of the technical delivery. We all know and love FPS games, have done since Wolfenstien (and Catacombs3D!), and this one has a pretty cool, dark story about a soldier and DNA manipulation and monsters, etc etc. Pretty cool stuff. The technical delivery, apart from being a bug riddled mess, is more horrible than the monsters in the game. It's quite a shame to see great ideas wasted with poor implementation. Let's get into it. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music, you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer. This is obviously not okay and it's unclear why the developers chose not to include this basic feature. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. Some of the defects in the game can be attributed to the choice of using the video game library/engine, Blender Game Engine. It's rarely used, because it's arguably worse than construction kits like GameMaker Studio, RPGMaker and Clickteam Fusion, but it's also much harder to work with. Despite this it has very limited capabilities, which go some way to explaining the poor quality of the game. Just as you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, you can't make a great video game if you use a terrible engine. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Volunteer is relatively cheap at $3 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

Eu joguei em live, o jogo é simplesmente divertido demais! Já joguei alguns jogos de estúdios que estão começando e teve muitos que não consegui jogar muito tempo... Esse alem de zerar, recomendei em live e fiz sorteios do game. Tenha em mente que é o primeiro jogo do estúdio e que eles se empenharam demais nele, e eu real consegui ver isso. Adorei a dificuldade do jogo e o cenário, Super me diverti! Feedback para melhoria: Opções de resolução Correção do machado (não está batendo no inimigo) O famoso ESC HAHAHADUSD que ao invés de pausar fecha o jogo (isso foi bem divertido confesso kkkk mas é bom corrigir) A camera as vezes da umas bugadinhas, parece perder o controle do personagem. Se tiver mais creio que devo ter falado em live kkkk. Apoiem os caras, eles merecem! Parabéns pelo trabalho e espero ver mais jogos de vocês cada vez mais melhorando!

A learning experience that can be used as a stepping stone to a better future titles. The game engine does not appear to have been designed for home PCs. When you click the game's icon, nothing happens for roughly 10 seconds. When it finally starts, you're disappointed to discover that there are no settings. You'll have to make due with the game's default button layout and graphics because the resolution is set to a setting that is below modern standards. Also, pressing the "esc" button crashes the game. No matter where you are, you end up back on the desktop. Now, the game looks like a student project that shouldn’t really be released in this state. Constant clipping issues and framerates that have no business being this low can be ignored because every game has those. But gameplay issues are something else. First big obstacle is the weird gear controls. You have a useless flashlight, an axe, or a gun. Each has a separate button so you can’t swap between them in an easy way. The issue comes when you press the use button to open doors or grab; this removes any item from your hand. It’s not fun losing a weapon each time you interact with a door and an enemy kills you before you can even swap the gun. But that doesn’t matter much because combat is bad. The axe is useless because you never know if your strikes even hit the target. The gun is the only decent piece of gear that does a fine job of killing enemies. But there’s an issue here as well. Enemies are fast, and when they’re right next to you, you can’t even kill them because the gun clips through. And I don’t know why each shot takes four bullets. Stages are short and follow the same template. There’s a few corridors and rooms where you search for keys and access card that lets you enter the next stage. Items glow so you can’t miss them. The game saves when you reach the next stage, and you can continue from the stage when you die. However, the save is erased when you quit the game. You can imagine the frustration when you accidentally press the Esc button. I always appreciate when a developer creates something from scratch and doesn’t take shortcuts. Unfortunately, sometimes it doesn’t work and it’s more of a learning experience. There are far worse games out there, and the game is fine at a heavy discount. But although it's possible to play a few stages, the problems grow too large to overcome in later stages. I
