Want to give credit to the still artwork and hints as you load into the game. Those were all beautiful and the hints help players remember key mechanics of the game.
Also really enjoy the freedom to change your character. You can have any shape and size character you want in the character customization screen. Well done.
Though one thing I found super frustrating was collecting ingredients. Rather than rewarding the player for spotting the ingredient you are looking for. For example, rocks, sticks, fiber. You need to look over your health bar and watch out for the very easy to miss “Collect” icon to appear. Would have much preferred what Skyrim does where the ingredients and items you loot in the world are much easier to spot and pick up. Also, that you do not pick up stones on the ground but instead have to use a pickaxe against boulders. Would have liked a little picture describing that.
A little update on the ingredients for certain items, this does get better as you play the game. Able to pick out what plants give you what ingredients. Though would have liked it if the game told me what to look for. Doesn’t have to be specific. Just say green leaves plants that grow in temperate climates are what cloth is made from.
Game is also quite buggy. For example, I minimized the game once and when I popped back into the game, was unable to run. Though did manage to fix it by just repeating what I did before and is back to normal. Another common bug is after enemies die, they freeze in place instead of falling to the ground.
The instructions on how everything works is also not the easiest to follow. For example, I had some trouble getting a firepit to work in this crafting game. Also had some trouble with other crafting items such as beds. For some reason, whenever I build one, it disappears shortly after being placed down but takes all the resources.
Though if this is a solo project, am GREATLY impressed by how much work went into this game. These types of open world games cannot be easy to do all on a single developers shoulders.
