Played through it, thought it was fine, I liked it. It got pretty hard sometimes, enemies felt very aggressive and there's so many of them. I liked the houndeye looking creature.

When you press a button in the UI that moves you to a new level the game kinda freezes for 3 sec with no feedback, it would be good to have a fade out or animation before you move over to the new level.

I don’t know if I ever looked in the options before but I appreciate having a 144 FPS limit option. The only problem is that you and the enemies are still moving on the physics step without interpolation which looks very jank. I think that’s fine for physics objects but it makes gameplay harder. And reiterating what I said last time, adding some momentum to all character movement would go a long way.

I’m no expert on Godot but in my boomshoot I did character collision detection and slide move on render frames, and I hear a popular way is to keep it on physics frames but render them one frame behind and interpolate. I know Overwatch does that fine but you’ve got really snappy movement with enemies that are quite small on screen so that tiny bit of lag might not be worth it.

I really like this new Gorge map, you’ve done a good job with all of the foliage and it even makes many of the enemies scarier that they can see through it. I don’t think you’re trying to do any stealth so it should be fine to keep it like that.

I don’t know if it’s just my mouse ghosting but I would sometimes click once and get two shots out of the coach gun.

Man, I really felt that sound of getting hit by a javelin at one point. Good job. Do the javelin guys need multiple headshots to kill them though? I feel the extra oomph sound is kind of wasted because it gives you the impression you can one-shot them in the head but that doesn’t seem to be the case with the pistol.

I’m going to need you to give me a way to reverse weapon scrolling. “Down” is “Next” and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

This one guy was hard to spot against the environment and I don’t think it seemed quite intentional. I don’t think that’s a particularly big deal though, I mean camouflage is legitimately something I the mutants would use against you to full effect.

I think you can get away with making these mountains just textured planes like the trees and like the mountains on the other side of the skybox.

I don’t think this is the intended way to this secret, I got there with a shotgun jump from down below, but it looks as if you should be able to crouch to get in except I don’t think there is a crouch.

I didn’t finish the first mission, died trying to shotgun-jump to the mutagen near the lighthouse and the checkpoint set me back further than I wanted. I didn’t check if there was quick-saving but I’d appreciate if there was.

I had intended to do a fanart for your game last demo day but had no time due to my daily drawing challenge at the time. So I did this one earlier before I even tried the new build.

Only just realized that this game and its name is inspired by Heart of Darkness. Even moreso with the original roguelike version, where it was a linear river.

-You made it so dart throwers aim where you're going now. Not a big fan of that in FPS but it's fine I guess. I notice that this can be baited by jumping(they aim too high or too low depending), may be intended or may be cheese, since it's silly to aim into the sky/ground when jumping. [later] Due to this, I basically do circle strafes but jumping like a moron the whole time.

-I pressed Onwards and nothing changed? But I can replay the Gorge level again. Is this intended? You had multiple levels in the previous demo I played. I tried playing again but I was getting too bored.

I didn't really enjoy it as much as last time, when the boat was still a thing.

Everything looks so much better now.

The fishing pole and characters you can have short conversations with between missions is nice addition.

Really like that javelin savages are not just canon fodder. They're the most common enemy, but they never stop being dangerous, due to predictive aim.

Usually I hate it when there's no auto-reload, but seeing trigger pull animation on pistol somehow makes it satisfying instead. Like in an action movie, especially after rapid firing. I still hate it for other weapons. I think every weapon should have an animation for trigger pull without ammo, with visible trigger if possible.

Some medkits hidden in outhouses were clipping through walls and accessible without destroying the outhouse.

I sadly have to admit I don't miss the boat that much. I understand it's probably hard to make it work. F for boat.

I think the FOV is too wide on the cutscenes, when it came down to the boat you could see the angles and the distortion. probably the cutscenes can switch to a narrower FOV and it would look better. I had a lot of jaggies even tho it was set to 4x msaa so not sure why that was.



I had his wrist clipping through his gloves. nice that it got idle anim on holding the gun.


itd be cool if you could click+drag to pan around this map screen. My OCD didnt like that it wasn't centered on these things and I trying to drag it down so that they would move up to the center of the screen, only I couldn't.

also if to load would be a load button upon selection instead of requiring a double click.

I kept trying to pickup the machete until I realized that I already had one and that was probably the reason. I think a white text message upon would pick up something you already have, "already have [item]" would be good.


i feel like you should be able to jump up this cliff if you hold ctrl was in mid air, so jump-crouching. and also be cool to add crouching and the spear chuckers throw the spear at your standing head then you can dodge it also be ducking 

also I feel like if holding down RMB would reduce FOV a bit to give a "peer" or "zoom" in effect that would be nice too, for all guns not just the spear slingshot.



also it'd be kino if you could press to pick up any spears that you used that are sticking out of the scenery

pretty cool game, once got used to it its pretty fun. but the jump feels a bit off and I kinda feel like the pistol feels too weak for having no recoil or something

Very nice water.

Thoughts:
- It needs some cue that I'm about to die.

- Why is there no auto reload on left mouse button once magazine is empty? This has to be defiance but for what purpose

- Thanks for keeping all the checkpoints, good choice, appreciated it when I was checkpointed being chased by horde of dogs.

- Good level design, never got lost.

- Boss fight was great, except for not killing spawn mobs and spawning 123 squids after the boss died. Usually once the boss is done you've got a moment of respite, in this case it turned to fight for life so you don't have to repeat the boss fight, also an interesting experience.

Good game, all the best.
