What in the actual fuck is this supposed to be? Their is 0 ways to progress, top that, YOU CAN'T EVEN READ 90% of the dialogue so you have no idea what to do or what's going on. Sad, this game looks like it has promise but as of now, just don't waist your time on this game. I literally just exited the game and wtf... I literally went to the police department every hour for 2 days and this so call female cop never shows up...... Did the same to the City Hall, same result, big fat nothing. You are a moron to use white for dialogue, when 90% of your renders are whit and bright.... You literally can't follow the story, the game right there is bad. Whomever the creator to this game, dude do better. You all creators need to stop putting 1/4 assed into your game and post it... Stop putting these likable games out, imagine if you just waited, this game would be amazing.. But Nope....
Calm down friend, you don't need to express so much anger, it's just a game. You didn't waste a dollar downloading and playing it. Everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes in game programming there are things that go unnoticed and this becomes an opportunity for improvement. Take cyberpunk for example. The first release of this game sucked. But with some constructive comments I fixed it. I'll never be able to please everyone, but I'll do my best. Can you tell me where you weren't able to progress so I can help you?
On one hand, yes that was a bit of a overreaction. On the other, his points are very valid.
You should not have put this out until you had at least another 6-18 months of work on it as this is very very rough. Like 1/10 rough.
Issues:
1. The WORST by far is that you have white text with NO dropshadow, NO text box, and NO outline. This makes 90% of the dialog in the game unreadable. This makes all of us wonder if you have ANY care at all about this project as it is noticable in the first 30 SECONDS of the intro. Literal 8th line of dialog has white text on white background.
2. I would guess that
3. File resolutions are all over the place. Pick one and re-render EVERYTHING in that resolution. For a .02, you should not be at 2+ Gb already.
4. You have stats. You have stat requirements. You have NO clearly shown way of raising those stats. You have a dialog option requiring more than 10 in a stat in a REQUIRED dialog in the first 5 MINUTES of the game. (Conversation with Hellen after entering 314)
5. Economy is absolutely borked. Only income is the front desk which pays $15? Really? I assume the books are your current method to increase stats. So book costs $150. So you want me to start game, immediately go to hotel, work twice, go home and rest till tomorrow, and repeat 55 MORE TIMES to get enough stats for said Conversation with Hellen? And that is just assuming that the book raises the stat by 1 and is rebuyable. (Which I am not going to waste time verifying)
6. Every single click eats time. There is a reason that almost no one does this anymore. Are you doing it to have a way to advance time? You can sleep for that. If you need to, add a "Wait" button on the main map. Are you doing it to only trigger events at certain times? Most players are going to miss huge chunks of things just because they are in the right place but at the slightly wrong time. Players hate this kind of system.
Either hide or remove the conversation options until getting said stats is actually feasible. Same with new areas. Hide them until there is something there to do.
Also really? Comparing yourself to CP2077? That was a good game with 20,000+ hours of dev time and tens of millions of lines of code that was too ambitious and had bugs that they needed to fix. This is a summer game jam by someone that is just learning to code. There is nothing wrong with that but check the ego.

Click on the bed during the day and you'll have the option to read the books
so i have jane licked at pool and now i can nothing more? when i ast in her room after midnight only how are you is an option
most of the exposition from the very important book is white text on white background, unreadable..
oh shit too much drama like the looks of that ebony milf....shame dev is a little edgy ....i can understand his perspective ,...is his child so he is taking care of it,but man ,you are missing so many players points by argueing everytime someone ask why where how .....a real shame
I literally explained everything in that post. I'll be nice, The words/dialogue/any text in the whole game, It's white, almost every scene has a lot of white so they blend together and so ya can't read it... Like, I literally tell you whats wrong and even explained why I thought so. Like what, I broke it down Barney style(a toddler could follow and see the issue. Cause if I recall, your game is pretty amazing. I only have 1 issue and it's literally makes the game unplayable. The Dialogue(the words/letters that appear on screen while playing the game) is WHITE, 90% of your game has white or bright colors that swallow the words cause there white. Do I have to say it again?
Obviously, You don't give a shit about this game(sad cause for your first game, that's a feat in itself. That means Awesome) and all you have to do is fix some little problems that's making you game unplayable. Like you straight up said you'll do w/e whenever... This hurts my heart because I was hoping you take what we said and apply it but no, you have to be a douche and throw away a game that could likely make you rich. If you would just check the ego, and listen. We want to help, angry or not, I wouldn't post a comment if I didn't care about you and your game we wouldn't be here. But no, you choose to break peoples hearts and have the audacity to tell me to calm down. I care more about your dm game then you do, that's just sad....

Well done author for not accepting the audience’s negativity.
..IT’S JUST A GAME...."Only those who do nothing make no mistakes"
