A long time ago, crowdfunding supported the home-made AVG game Hallucination (120 yuan). Now it will be officially launched on Steam platform. In brief, I would like to comment on the current content.
Fragmentary thoughts
"My grandfather's crowdfunding game is finally XX", said the QQ communication group.
After the initial crowdfunding, we received the game entity box, which contains the activation code, the set of settings, and a CD.
The hallucination game activated by the activation code is a semi-finished product, with only one chapter, no CV, no small games, and a pile of bugs.
In the following more than a year, the game only pushed a few small updates and there was no news. The updated content only added a chapter of the story and fixed serious bugs. I once thought it was a pigeon.
I happened to see it on Steam and found that it finally had a release date, Planned release date: May 28, 2021 。 Two years later, "Grandpa participated in the crowdfunding", and finally no pigeon (doubt)!
Crowdfunding reasons
Illusion is the sequel of Old Watch. The story and mysterious neuroscience are related to AR/VR technology, but the focus of the previous work is Cycle of time 。
The world view of the two novels is very big, and the logic is basically self consistent, which is very rare in the low-cost domestic visual novel game. This is also the reason why I crowdfunded to support Illusion.
Of course, the price of the game after its release must be far lower than the crowdfunding price.
plot
At present, the updated story is not long. According to the speed of ordinary people, the story length is about half an hour to one hour. Although the world view is very big, the story behind has never been followed, and the pigeons fly up.
Although the updated story is very short, it is wonderful enough. The story of only half an hour includes Daily, campus, suspense, fantasy, science fiction, fighting with weapons (realistic), running, reversing, bloody (realistic) The story is compact and full. It is refreshing to watch it in one breath. Compared with the previous work, the suspense and reversal of the story is better than that of the previous work.
However, because the planning script has not yet been released, the story stops abruptly in the middle, and the breakpoint is at a key node of reverse and reverse, which is very appetizing. At the most critical moment, the plot suddenly disappeared?! It is estimated that this wave of operation can give players a "breathless" buff.
Chess game
In the game, the war chess game has been updated. The content is to jump the grid and run out of the enclosure. The small game is interspersed in the text story of escape.
To tell you the truth, I am not very fond of the small games in the visual novel games. I can jump as soon as I can in the small game in the previous book "Old Watch", and this book is no exception. There will be money element in the settlement of this little game. I don't know whether it will affect the plot trend for the time being.
Staffing
I (player):
– "I will always like Xia Yue. jpg"
– "Nothing is more lovely than Xia Yue"
plan:
– "stab you (physics)"
I (player):
– "I always like the summer key"
CV
From the beginning of crowdfunding to today, the crowdfunding group has planned "CV, CV" every week, but the CV is still a pigeon.
It is said that CV is fast (as was said last year).
Bug
Unexplainingly triggered a bunch of bugs:
- I found a bug that does not limit the number of frames when I just played. As a result, thousands of frames occupied the GPU during runtime, and it was fixed after feedback.
- Archive during the game. There is a probability that BGM will disappear after returning to the game. You must return to the main interface and then return.
- When encountering the selected limb, quickly archive and return, and the selected limb button may not appear.
- Small games occasionally encounter problems with incorrect UI level or transparency, which are common in character dialogues.
- The archive page slides and the archive picture preview is deformed (the scale is incorrect).
The game is made with Unity, and I am also a Unity dog. It seems that some problems are caused by the unfinished test or the lack of full-time test.
Outlook for the future
- The plot is fuller
- The plot is longer
- Choose more limbs that affect the plot, instead of choosing the wrong ones and failing directly to return to the main screen
- Even if Xia Yue cuts me again, I like Xia Yue
- Can manually turn on and off the transition special effects. When the transition happens, the characters suddenly lose face and turn white. It's too dark
