Questions


We have a couple questions for you all. First of all, welcome new followers and thank you to everyone playing and commenting. You all have left great feedback, which brings me to the questions:

1. The jittering effect in the carriage, used to show that the carriage is jostling and used occasionally elsewhere, for example when MC gets startled. Our question is do you all like that or do you find it too distracting? We do intend to add a jostling sound effect in the carriage.

2. We were wondering if you all would like us to use our Discord for more interactive discussion or make aTumblr? 

That is all for now. Happy playing :)

1.  I would have probably disabled the jolting if I had noticed an option to do so.  That said, it didn't bother me a huge amount.  What I found more distracting was the zoom during the scene at the ruins with Sinclair later in the demo.

2.  I'd follow you on either!  The advantage of Tumblr would be the ability to have an archive of answers to asks.  I'm more lurky than chatty on Discord but would still be happy to join one you set up.

1. The jittering effect was good but I found it really weird the zoom out from Guy's door. The zoom out from the door happened so slowly I wasnt sure if it was happening or my eyes were playing tricks on me lol. 

2.I would really love if you guys made a tumblr. I don't use discord too much. 

3. Great work on this game! Very excited to see future updates!

I initially thought the jostling was a bug.  I think it will be better when there is sound (as that will help immersion...at the moment, without sound its just odd).  I think as long as there is an option to disable it, its fine ...some players might find it difficult to focus.

As for a discord...I'd love that, at least to help encourage fan discussions and hype for the complete game! :)

I was one of the people that disabled the jolting when I saw how frequent it was used in the prolgoue. However, I think it would still be a nice immersive touch if it were used less frequent and if it were accompanied by a sound and background music. 

I would love if the team made a tumblr but I would be okay with a discord as well. <3

The jolting is fine, I mean it adds to the realistic side of the scene and is in my opinion not distracting.
I personnaly don't use tumble but if you are going to create a discord server, I would gladly join you. ^^

I think the jostling was fine. It didn't distract from anything and made it more interactive for me, especially with your plans for adding sound.

I think both, Tumblr and Discord, have their benefits. Both can be really useful to build a community around the game. Tumblr could be more useful as it would easier to find information and answered questions. Personally, I would be happy to have either one.

I think the jostling is fine; it wasn't that distracting for me. I like it as a reaction to being startled quite a bit. Since we rarely see MC's face, it works really well to show that surprise. 

I prefer Tumblr personally. I like Discord, but in active communities, there's a lot of off topic discussion that can be hard to sort through if you're just looking for information. It can be really useful in building a community around the game though.

Based on what I've seen from interactive fiction development blogs on Tumblr though, be prepared for a rash of Thirsty asks, lol.

hmm, personally I thought the jostling was a cute touch and will be more efficient with sound, but I get that it might affect some players. And I'd be happy with both discord & tumblr!

So I didn't think the jostling effect was that distracting (to the point where I didn't even notice it until people started pointing it out in the comments).  

I personally hate Discord but would use/follow a Tumblr.
