Update: First round of closed demo testing


A Bad Day at Work Update:

The first round of closed demo testing is well underway, and lots of improvements are being made using the feedback :)

An interesting statistic:

Less than 40% of testers said they play games similar to ABDAW, yet 75% rated the demo 7/10 or better. Awesome!

Some things testers liked:

"Story dev and sound design"

"all the little things"

"art design and music"

"atmosphere and vibe"

"The comedy was fun"

Some things testers disliked:

"no interaction prompts"

"Controls weren't obvious at first."

"Hard to know which objects to/can interact with"

Some changes made based on the feedback:

  • A sizable proportion of testers mentioned the lack of introduction to controls, so that has now been added!

  • Similarly, every interactable object/person/thing now has a little icon that pops up when you're near them to let you know you can interact with them.

  • Many testers praised the amount of little side interactions within the game, but nonetheless asked for even MORE things to interact with! So more interactable objects and side-stories you shall have!

Stay tuned!

More updates coming soon!

P.S. sorry for dodgy gif compression!

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Hi everyone! I started to create some environment props for my new video game, here is a cozy house in the forest. I'm planning to switch from Unity to Unreal... Let's see what new challenges I have to face. Made in Blender and Substance Painter.
