Beta Bill's Bug Blasting Briefing
Thread #1 -
Purchasing Intro - Well executed and detailed Steam Store Page (any other sales outlets I have no opinion of). The Store Page's introductory clip was descriptive and enjoyable to watch, Images were ok choices but didn't add anything beyond what was in the initial clip, and there was no additional information to glean from them. In the Q&A Section, the jump between humorous and straightforward answers created a lively banter that made you, the Developer, feel like a person having an interview and less of a digital questionnaire. Based on the answers given it looks as though the path you've set for this game should have a wonderful appeal to a lot of Open-Story Gamers, my best advice is to stand by those convictions. Within the "About This Game" section, to seem more transparent and for those customers who don't read the Early Access Game Section, adding a small synopsis of where you are currently will go a long way. Part of the reason I plan on making this beta my pet project, is the fact of the link to Lionhead's games (Fable Series), Kynseed will be aligning the fact it is within my favorite genre of playstyle and hopefully we will see a lot of the jokes, humor, and sarcasm the Fable Series brought us. Game synopsis is clean and straightforward. As with most pixel based, non-strategic games, the minimum computer requirements are to par.
Installation Intro - As I am using Steam for the Downloading and Installation process, it looks to have had no issues with corruption or failed packet dispersion. Everything loaded up and turned on as needed. After 20 uninstallations and reinstallations, I have had no issues.
Game Start and Boot Up - After 20 Boot Ups and Shut Downs, I haven't had any issues or errors, this also includes random keying and mouse presses while mid boot up and shut down.
Intro Video - Cute backstory creates an unexpected liveliness not shown in the Steam Store Page, which gives the new customer a uplifting dynamic. Artwork had the feel of pixel based and hand drawn something new and refreshing in the pixel based gaming world. No errors or issues with Intro Video after 20 run throughs.
The End of my initial Assessment. Time to play the game. Beta Bill Bojangles Out.
