Hey there Biebob!

I replayed it with the new update and I must say nice! The game is much better in my opinion. I made a video this time hope you enjoy it! Keep up the great work!

Ty for playing my game and finally making a video about it xD

you are talking alot about the ''ding ding ding'' sound and you are saying that i need to remove it but i think its a good thing to have because then the player know that the game is starting and not just only have the countdown i tried to fix it with a better sound but i can hear that its not good i will look it to that! :) 

but i hope that i made the game more scary with the new sounds? 

The atmosphere was better with the new sounds. The ding ding ding sound just seems too jeopardy to me. My thoughts on that is when you're playing a horror type game you are relatively focused on the game itself so timers etc. you'll be watching. Especially in the beginning when you do a level you're ready but at 5 seconds it dings for each second as an indicator but as a player you would be watching the time for when you can begin without any sound like notification. 

What to say about this, I know it is just to test it and for the developer to get some ideas but it could be turned into something pretty good especially with the last level that could be used for a horror game with a little bit of ambience.

Ty for playing my game and making a video with commentary that really helps alot! 

i saw alot of things i need to fix in your video that i did not see when i tested it myself so ty for that! :) 

 have just updated the game and added a patch note that u can see here https://biebob10.itch.io/get-the-key/devlog/101275/update-sep-23th-2019 :) 

I will check it out

Hello!

So a few concerns which I'll list below.

Music: The music does the game no justice and should overall be removed completely or perhaps better sound tracks that are creepier should be added. The ding ding ding sound was annoying to where I took my headset off due to it. Is this supposed to have creepy vibes? If so more appropriate noises and music should be considered.

The House: The house is a paid asset which I have no issues with other than that the particular house asset being used is widely used in several other games but to most recent memory I believe it's the same used in House Party. Overall the textures and environment look really well but going back on the music it makes it seems like a circus show which isn't the vibes I believe I should be feeling.

A Story: What are we doing in this house and why are we looking for a key? Are we locked out of our room and need to find our key to unlock it? Shouldn't the keys found look a bit more modern due to the house being modern? Overall what is the purpose of the need to find the keys? ie Monsters, Locked out of the room, Playing hide and seek the key?

The game looks nice but the lack of a structure of what is going on and for what reason and the music are ruining the game as of now but can be fixed!

I hope this helps gear you towards a more in-depth and engaging experience.

Once this becomes more content worthy I'll be more than happy to make a let's play one shot! Seriously though I do appreciate the work you've put in. I've messed with game development on my own and it's not an easy feat at all especially when you're alone so with that being said Don't Give Up and make it a reality!

Music: Im working on better music atm.

The House: yeah its a paid asset but the interior is not from the house asset and i tried to find the game ''House Party'' but i could not find it 

Story: the game has no story at the moment because its a DEMO but i have some ideas that i will work on later 

Ty so much for trying my game and leaving a nice comment where u go in detail about what u like and dont like so i really know what i can do better :) 

Of course! If you ever need feed back let me know I'll give it my best shot!

As for the game this is it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/611790/House_Party/

As for the asset I could tell it was different interior wise and overall looks good was saying I've seen that asset in a lot of games.

Overall looks great texture wise keep it up!

the pack gives a lot of good textures so I guess thats why people are using it :) 

but then again its not the same house because of the interior no house is the same 

I have just updated the game and added a patch note that u can see here https://biebob10.itch.io/get-the-key/devlog/101275/update-sep-23th-2019 :) 

what is even the point? i mean, whats good about running around finding a key for the sole purpose of finding that key? and then start over? i dont get it. also terrible music. where is the atmosphere? where is the gameplay? story? horror (since its on the horror section this page)? I dont get it.

''The only reason its on here is because i need feedback so i can make it better. So please leave a comment''

Thats the purpose of the game! i want it to make it better and get people to see me build on it like a journey :) 
and the game is still a DEMO
im not sure what u mean with ''Start over''?
and im working on some better sound thanks to ''Gamers Nation'' for saying that in the comments and now you  :) 

But ty for trying my game and leaving a comment so i know what i can do better :D 

add horror gameplay

This looks promising but in 2nd Level I can't pick the key and other main thing is please remove the music you added in this game. It's ruining the overall experience of this game.

(1 edit)

Maybe its not the right key? :P (there is more than 1)

and ty for playing my game! i will take a look at the music :) 

Okay But please remove the music trust me it's not suitable for your game :)
