Hey Federx!

Here are the negative things I noticed while playing through (A)WOKEN:
1. Post-processing & slow-mo causes issues for my ultrawide monitor where it looks like a 16:9 overlay is applied starting from the left side of the screen leaving me with one screen for the game in 16:9 super-imposed over another in my regular resolution.

2. Some of the buttons for the level select menu did not work unless I was in a 16:9 resolution.

3. Going into fortress mode seemed to get rid of the footstep sound effects.

4. I like that I can hold back and press shift to turn around quickly, but when I hold back-left and back-right I still end up getting turned around quickly when pressing shift (which to me does not feel natural).

5. Is the shotgun hit-scan with a single raycast? I ask because I was only ever able to hit missiles out of the sky with it (which is a cool thing to be able to do!) if I clicked on them directly.

6. I think the inventory menu needs more labeling. I had no idea, for the weapons, which slot on which arm I was going to be changing out when selecting between different weapons.

7. Having to hold 'C' to heal feels a big cumbersome. Would be nice to be able to toggle it.

I was impressed with the variety of weapons in the game, but I do wish the enemies were more of a challenge. I never felt very threatened by them, but maybe I only played the easier levels.

Overall I think you're doing good with getting the vibe of a chunky bipedal mech down. The view from the cockpit is quite nice. The shaking of the cockpit and the sounds of the mech whilst moving do a great job of making the player feel its heft. Excited to see your progress in next demo day! Keep up the good work!

The models showcase section seems unfinished.

Beat this Atlantis level (Probably the first time I see a cutscene) and beat the boss, though it seems when I clicked this menu, I still shot from my gun.

Picked Physx I think that's called: Used the grenade launcher on the brick house and the game lagged a bit.

With the Moon level: Beat it by destroying the cannon, then lost because the game was still going: This got me stuck.

Also tried other levels like the Gravitron (Kinda got stuck in the ceiling) and the sewer boss.

The Etna boss was a bit harder for me.

Something that personally annoys me a bit is how the starting weapon on the left is the shotgun because I find the chaingun more convinient.

(Also because in a way, a chaingun contrasts the rocket launcher more by being a fast paced hitscan-ish weapon vs a slow projectile one, while the shotgun is still slow).

As of writing this, I'm playing story levels (If that's what they are) but not in a chronological order.

Also discovered that shift + S is 180 degree turn.

The fight with Nayla wasn't that hard.

In Serenity, I do use G to fly in third person, but somehow it feels a bit weird.

I think I played most levels and also saw a lot of /agdg/ cameos and art.

Also got to see my mech being repaired when using the repair item.

Managed to see lots of new stuff.

I wonder if you could make the anime girl on screen 3D. like she's in a subviewport and has jiggle physics, and then you render that subviewport to the mech's monitor. 

This game’s a hot mess but I love coming back to it.

• Linux build is still solid, no issues
• I think I’ve said this every time but your basic gameplay is solid, you just need more visual polish to sell it, but the changes I’ve seen are going in the right direction.
• I like how the cockpit is shaping up, but it still has a lot clean empty panels that need buttons, wires, LEDs, or even just some etchings. I can already see the resemblance to the Hawken UI, I always reference the interiors from MechWarrior 3 as well for 2D elements.
• The flashing is great feedback for the enemies, I used to do exactly the same but now feedback when you take damage is lacking by comparison. I like the sound and the little BSOD on the matrix screen but you might want the whole cockpit to jerk away with the impact as well.
• It’s great how the one-on-one fights have your opponent combo up the powerups and then retreat to repair themselves just like you can.
• So many AGDG references! Understand that it’s going to make us biased in favor of the game!
• I like how the story references itself being a game. I think you should continue to lean into it and don’t sweat too much about redoing anything, with how much you’re learning along the way I think the game is always going to look like a mess so you should embrace it and leave any idea of polish for the next project.

Probably not a surprise but the way the game renders seems to not work very well with wine (using crossover) on macOS.

I'll have to try it later

Movement: Would be good to feel a bit more weight in movement.

Grenade: Would be cool if it can be shoot to explode early.

Cooldown indication: Might be better to have something like a progress bar to see cooldown moving instead of just simple red/blue.

Tutorial have too much info but still don't tell the player what the items and skills actually do, might as well skip this part and introduce them as the game progress with a bit more details.

Item Shield need clearer boundary.

Tooltip over items, skills and weapons would be helpful.

Loadout should persist between levels. 

I dig the new character portraits! and the sewer boss as a concept is kino.

• arcade mode is still by far my favorite mode since the map is the most dynamic and interesting imo. blasting shit with nukes and shotguns is fun

• i must be missing something, but even if i did nothing but blast the laser cannon on the moon level i wasnt able to deplete its health fast enough
• i cant tell what the berserk/fortress power ups do 
• imo the screen getting fuzzed up and scrambled by enemy mechs is really annoying

• the gravity flipping level seemed to work pretty well and i like it a lot as a concept for a hawken like game

Keep up the good work!

Ran into a few bugs that i didnt have the last time i played that ill document below:

 the left weapon "Next:" indicator was offset by 1, and the gattling gun would not render or play any sound. fixed by switching loadout in the menu. Flamethrower also displayed no particles when firing for me.

AGDG bot's AI glitched out and got stuck jittering in the corner during the following level. Same thing happened in the following level.

the sort of pencil style portraits is cool, though it would be good to have different images for different situations like the lady in mullet madjack

mouse sensitivity settings would be good to have, bit too slow for my likings by default

the dialogue is really weird in an appealing way, with the characters directly talking about the underlying structure of the game they're in. lends it a bit of surrealty, and I hope that if it's placeholder dialogue then an element of that remains

side strafe is great, hover is good. other than the SFX and HUD, it doesn't seem very mech-y. even the height of the camera feels like that of an ordinary man

AGDG posters are a good reward for exploring lul

ended a level with enemies still alive nearby, that doesn't seem to make sense. I was rather looking forward to fighting them but stumbled into the Area3D and was whisked from combat

level design is a lot of size and not a lot of anything interesting. combat seems largely to be handled by shooting the enemy while strafing or sometimes hiding behind corners. you have some quick fixes for this in the hunting down turrets level, and I respect the audacity of just putting wireframe mode in as a feature, but I think the better solution would have been to put more interesting things in the vast expanse
