Hello Long Lost Studios,
This was a really fun game that I'm probably going to have my daughter try!
So first off, let's start with the music and audio since that's my primary field. Honestly, the game didn't really need much music, and what little it did have was cozy and fitting for the game. I wouldn't mind a bit of something to hum to but honestly, for this kind of game, people will probably put on something they personally like while playing it anyway. SFX were just right for where it was, nothing too stand out and annoying, while present enough to not feel empty. I figure as you add more features, you will be adding more music and SFX, but as discussed, there is a whole priority list of features that should probably come first.
I'm not going to talk so much about features that I'd like to see happen, as I know there is quite a list, and focus on providing you some quick notes on things we've discussed during the stream for your reference.
- I think intuitively I should have tried to click on things like the cake or the decorations for additional options but as I didn't, I feel you could stupid-proof the game by adding a little pop-up note that happens after the first thing is placed. A simple, (click for color, size, and more options)
- We discussed how the color palette you have set up is already workable for people who are colorblind like myself. If anything, we'd rely on more shapes and such, so once you have more decorations and options in the game, then we'd be all set.
- My biggest suggestion for your priority list is to set a primary target audience, especially who you would know are more likely to grab this game. I was saying this would be a great for partnering with bakeries and baking brands to recreate/promote their products while giving users the ability to communicate their cake ideas whether baker, client, or personal.
I didn't look at anyone else's cake when I played this, and I'm glad I didn't cause some of the silly and fun creations on here would have had me thinking too much! But here are my cakes!
Thanks for the fun game!
- Glim
