So, I played the newest version! (And I'm still loving it!
)
The only big problem I found (at least I'm assuming it's a problem
) was that, after a while picking berries, the inventory number freezes and it never goes up again, only down. The number limit seems to be random. I got it at 11, 14 and 18, just to name a few. Then planted them (thus removing them all from my inventory), but I could never pick more again.
I found some other minor issues:
Some tiles do not show up under certain angles of the map. Here's a collage of screenshots to show you what I mean (the white triangles were my doing to tell you where the issue can be seen):
Also, when rotating the map around, sometimes the map doesn't draw at all. Everything goes blank. Zooming out fixes this, but going back to the same zoom level does this again. I don't know what might be causing this, because at other angles it draws fine. As an example, it occurred at the zoom and place of the image I posted (left most) if I rotated to the left.
Anyway, here's some other things for you to consider!
- Switching tools is a little complicated right now, especially when doing things that need to use more than one tool. For example, while trying to plow a field, I'd like to both level it and plant it as I go along. Maybe you could consider having several inventory slots for each type of tool and some HUD element (quickbar) to quickly switch between them?
- When trying to plow fields, sometimes the character gets on top of a tile I want to plow. Then it's a fight to the death between the meticulous me trying to click the ground around his feet and the stubborn me that just doesn't want to get him out of the way! Are you going to implement any features that demand clicking directly on the character? If you are, I'm not really sure how to solve the problem. All my alternatives cause even more problems!
Anyway, keep it up! I'll keep checking the thread. This game seems to be shaping up pretty well!
