Project Grove

Nice little game, you should continue working on it.

I really enjoyed this game. The look of it is beautiful and I think it has a lot of potential. I liked the interactions between Edric and  L-P1N and looking forward to more!  

Love where this is going so far!

I didn't save my footage because of the performance issues and didn't finish the demo, but I wanted to toss in my feedback so far because I do love the dialogue and the aesthetic!

1) It isn't optimized for my older PC, so there was a ton of stuttering. The only time it was smooth was when I went to check the faxophone message. It ran like butter in that area, horribly in the house, middle of the road everywhere else. Looking forward to graphics settings!

2) The demo starts too abruptly. You could have Eric waking up to see the robot hovering over him, have Eric ask what he needs, then have the robot explain about the EPINs and messages.

3) Gamepad doesn't fully work. If you try to use it without setting controller in the menu first, you can't use the right toggle stick to turn. If you use it after setting controller in the menu, it still isn't able to select options, only inventory and menu. Would be great to have auto-detect of input type.

4) The robot keeps glitching out and bouncing back and forth all over the place. It didn't cause me any problems with making umbrellas, it was just a distracting bug.

5) When I restarted the demo, I physically started at the beginning again but the tasks and dialogue didn't reset, it was still waiting for me to do the same task I was on before.

7) The umbrella mechanic works well but some jumps need to be too precise since his distance is so weak. Maybe allow him to jump a little farther or higher.

8) He makes a sound when you jump but doesn't make a sound when he gets hurt from fall damage, which is inconsistent. You have great dialogue so I'm sure he or the robot can say something witty when he falls.

I know games take a ton of time to get right and polish, so I wish you the best of luck with what you've got here! It's really good bones and I hope the kickstarter campaign is successful!

Love the game, can't wait for it to come out fully. Nice job! i was wondering, will the game be free when it officially comes out?

I PLAYED YOUR GAME HERE IT WAS GREAT ........IM DRMIX

Gave it a go...

This game is really great, i love the art style, ambient music and the quirky back and fourth with L-P1N and Edric. This game is really unique and the touch of steampunk is really cool like its the beginning of an age for technology and experimentation and a cure for the "Great Rot" you feel as if your groundbreaking something really special in the game.

 Some of the downsides i experienced were that the jump seems a bit short in height or one minute you leap and the next barely hop, also L-P1N got stuck a few times and wouldnt go where commanded it did make some obstacles a little harder than they needed to be.

I cant wait to see more.

ok so a few sugestions:

- first of all the trailer was really well made and the game looks perfect sound effects also, but the voice explaining the game does somewhat break the experience, if you could i would reccomend improving it a bit, since (to me at least) it kinda sticks out and breaks the trailer, perhaps have it a bit lower? not sure yet (edit: add some echo)

-second: just my opinion but i think adding a bit of hype near the end (increasing over time could be even better) could make it a lot better and leave a stronger impact (just my opinion tough)

-third: just came back after downloading the game and a problem i found was that the starting cutscene (i guess it was  the starting cutscene)  started before the game loaded

-fourth and last: i wasnt able to play the game, since as soon as it started it crashed, most likely due to my pc being really bad, but an idea i would add to the game a way to reduce the graphics, (i dont know if this is hard or time consuming to do, if it is then no problem) since that isn't in the game (at least that i know)

i am really excited about the development of the game, gonna keep following and will add any extra suggestions.

This was a super neat experience! It was fun to hop around and explore the environments and do some neat platforming puzzles. The two characters seem pretty interesting and have some funny lines as well. I enjoy the format of the demo as well since you actually have a goal to pursue, rather than just being dropped in a sandbox. I quite like the mechanic of making a platform to get across obstacles, it opens up some avenues for cool puzzle solving! I did have some issues with settings seeming to not save when I exited the options at some points, but that's to be expected in an early demo. Definitely excited to see more of this, props to the developers.

Hello there.
I have played your game and made even a Video about it. Sadly kinda bad quality cause my PC is not really that good. I would appreciate some graphics settings. So that people also with less strong PC's like mine gain a better experience from your game. Yet I have to say still, this game is beautiful. I enjoyed myself very well with it. Mostly cause of the jumping. I have no idea why that was funny to me. Also I have to say that the game has a certain charm. Though the music at the end is kinda... let's say underwhelming. Anyway, if your curious for my video then please have a look here.

Looks really good so far. The music could be a bit more hypey but that's just my opinion.

This game has real potential! Looks great

played the demo adn it getting good! i got lost in the cave as the adivce it gave me wasn't clear enough ( on respawning the key). Also i tried the play with a controller and the right analog stick wasn't working for me either maybe it was just me idk. other than that the graphics were good and the story had my attention as well, l pin was humorus too. keep up the good work. ( gonna have to download that patch and try again)

i tried the demo, it seems a bit too demanding.. u need to set up resolutions like low graphics medium and high. (especially for textures)
i have like an i3 and a 1050ti(4gb) 8gb ram, and if u implement well i should be able to handle this game and play it very smoothly
as u can see in the first part it even went smooth...i guess some rendering issue...
it's probably demanding in CPU
it also crashed for no particular reason..

looks interesting

Amazing game dev had so much fun playing it :) i hope you enjoy my gameplay 

Very well put together. Great graphics, Great atmosphere. I did a gameokay video but got stuck at the end as I was trying to be clever by getting into a nook near the end of the video. Needless to say, I'm going to play this again as I want to get to the ene and I'm looking forward to a full release.

Good Luck
