  For the most part, it seems like the biggest issues with our game are the sounds. They're either too loud, don't sound quite right, or we're missing some things people would like. There are also a few... Continue reading

  Footstep noises were more like walking on tile noises and not like you are walking on grass. The loudness of the footsteps is also loud and a little overpowering. The ambient noises were very loud and... Continue reading

  The comments on our playtest were pretty positive about the hilly nature and terrain, and even without actually creepy trees still felt a mysterious and creepy atmosphere. We might bump up the elevati... Continue reading

  The main comments about the video and playtest were that they liked the shadows, the sense of feeling lost as well as the ominous feeling. It is surprising they felt that way about the whitebox, becau... Continue reading

  What I noticed most in the playtests, as well as when I played through the level, is that people like the difference in elevation what we made, but they want more of it. Instead of just having basical... Continue reading
