Unity Abandoned Chronos [v0.01 Release] [Milki Labs]

[ꜱᴛᴀɢᴡᴏᴏᴅ]

Has it been that long? Wow. I remember trying this out the first time as though it was just a few weeks ago. I wish you good luck going forward, Milki.

It seems I either ran into a few bugs or I'm missing something obvious. Whenever I try talk with Chronos, be that talk or surprise, the screen just stays the same without any reply option, or convo on the bottom. Also whenever I try to work, it just puts me to the counter machine but I can't do anything.

 

[Mormont]

It is without a doubt a very nice looking game but as it's been said all this looking around for people and only being able to talk with them at certain times of the day is rather annoying it would be nice to just look for the person and be able to talk to with them.

Anyone can work on store ? Cause when i try to work my screen freeze where i can see a panel and some buttons but nothing works.

 

[Lillyae]

Game gets stuck if u try to work in store or if u try to talk with chronos after initial introduction.

 

[RoadWulf]

I tried it, or tried to try it. But it won't fucking do anything. It just sits there on i think the second panel of words. I can't click to continue, I can't press enter or spacebar to continue. The only thing that works is Control and then it skips through the whole thing.

So this is currently unplayable for me. Fucking Unity engine.

I think you need Graphics Quality on Very Hight or Ultra. On Low nothing works or almost

So... this game has potential. Probably like every other game in here that just started.
But... is a mess, a huge mess. Is all over the place. I get the feeling that you want to create a sandbox adventure, but even in a sandbox you still have to have some ground rules. Some basic guidelines for writing a story.
I just worked only on Elise's path, because she was the fastest one to develop, for me anyway... When you go to the arcade the watch talks to you, which is weird because I didn't know that the watch contained a soul in it...

The story has no connection, no feeling is just parts put together for... well for nothing to be honest, because it doesn't seem to have an end goal; and don't give me that bullshit that this is just the beginning. That's an excuse for bad storytelling.

Pro's
+renders are great
+characters seem to have some degree of personality, but they are lacking substance
+sandbox adventure is good, but if you don't have rules for it is just going to be some pages put together and nothing more
+characters look nice and pleasant
Con's
- the storyline is feeble and all over the place. There are no rules whatsoever, you can do anything but it doesn't feel like it matters to some degree.
- the characters are just some targets for the game and it doesn't make you feel like you actually interact with them
- sandbox adventure that makes you go everywhere with no interesting interactions or reason, you can go in any room watch people sleep, kill them in their sleep..w/e it doesn't matter, they are just there to look at them, it feels dead.
- the dialogue is simple, too straight to the point, other times too complex and with less flow. Not to mention you should proofread more, lots of grammar mistakes and fuzzy sentences. In the intro, there is a line that the guy is saying but the game shows that the girl is talking.
- You wake up before everyone, but everyone accuses you that you sleep too much and are always late for school. WTF is that.

Honestly, you have a great project, but it seems like you are pissing on it more than actually doing something worthy of playing. I was really interested to see where this story goes in a sandbox adventure, but if you don't apply some logic to the story this will be just a hot mess with no connection. You can implement great storytelling in a sandbox, other people have done it, it can work smoothly here too, but you need to define some rules. What is now is just lazy integration of a story into a game that has potential.

I have to say if i ever get around to releasing my game this is Exactly the kind of constructive criticism i want

You don't need to work in this release. You don't need to grind for much income.

I have added it to the list of bugs that needs to be fixed.

 

[MilkiCat]

When you always do your best, eventually you get better.
So let's be patient. It doesn't cost anything,
Keep the good work and believe in yourselves!

Thank you! You are right though. It's all up from here and learning from your mistakes helps you grow.

I agree. I would buy this person a beer.

Well, i needed money to finish quest of claire where i need to buy bikini. So i am guessing that quest isn't finished in this version ?

Ah yeah my apologies that's right. I was stupid and made the bikini a stupid price. That quest is actually a quest chain. So the first chain is done, not the rest. I'll tackle that with a bug fix version.

Will be any changes to the wine quest? It said I'd need 500 or steal it, I had the 500 before thanks to the casino, yet I could only have to option for steal. Will that quest differ or just has the steal option? Because as it is right now it's a bit confusing. And do we need to talk or surprise Chronos to get some new quest as of now? I can't progress in that it's just takes me to the render but no other option.

I'm going to have to revisit that quest. It could be broken since I moved a few things around. Ideally for the intro of the wine quest you can either steal it or pay for it. Now as far as that quest line? Yes there will be more added to it.

For chronos you don't get quests from her at the moment. You'll find them from the other players. If you're stuck there is an event in the living room in the afternoon on Wednesday. This only triggers after you've spoke to Claire and she's told you she's found a job.

To me, she only ever says that she didn't found one, then sends me to sleep at nights, and nothing at the pool. Had the dates with Elise and have her house unlocked, I guess that's it for her so far, had the date with Stella as well, the wine event is on repeat with Zoey in the living room so I guess that's finished as well for now, nothing but a few repeating convo with Eliana and Natalie, and getting the test for Vanessa. I have the Claire thing, but now I can't buy the swimsuit for her even though I have the money, I click on the picture or the dollar sign and nothing happens.

 

[mars9]

hmm is this your first game ? if it is your first game then a linear route would be better option for you than open world route or sandbox route.

 

[mcfan41]

Anyone else have the game hanging once you select certain responses? For example, on Karen (teacher) problems - it hangs as soon as I ask her about it. In my first run through I had the same problem after I bought the bikini for Claire and talked to her about it. I am on very high resolution At this point I think I will wait for next version. Unless someone knows of a fix.

 

[matariel09]

This game use Unity or Fungus??

At long last......
