Oh yeah. I noticed! Maybe that's why people don't give much feedback. But I'm aware, I've been reading all of his comments before I even got the game. Maybe switch to date release format instead of numbers? idk... The thing is, this really reminds me of Resident, there's no denying it. You shoot enemies, and if you fail, they grab you. It just doesn't have the puzzles and the destination yet. And speaking of which, maybe I'll play Resident again... lol
I mentioned fewer NPCs meant only for a specific purpose... Did you know that in Devil May Cry, despite having 20 enemies on screen that could instantly kill you with just one hit each, they do nothing more than just watch you? Yes, only a few are allowed to attack at a time. If you dash jump close to them, they will move away from you, but when playing, no one does that, so it goes unnoticed. This is done to improve immersion and give the player a sense of superiority. Either way, if you have the support, time, money and you are willing, you could improve player interactions in all sorts of things to make it more enjoyable and pleasurable to play. It all depends on what feelings you want to make the player feel when playing your game.
And giving feedback on my own feedback. I've read in other threads that people don't like QTE mid-act, but before and after it's fine. So, it could be that the enemy could interrupt, do a QTE to avoid getting bad status like spanks or aphrodisiacs then you just watch the result. One day, I played a game where the enemy wouldn't let the player go, he would edge and tease until the player begged to be let go. There could be a QTE and if the player succeeds, the player would kill the enemy with a rock out of nowhere or a knife from the enemy's belt. But yeah... It's not a bad game and it's just in the beginning with a lot of potential, I get it.
