Oh hey we're part of another contest so clicky that votey button for Kandria: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=IaRfuBEfy0miKOrheADcp3BwmTnJznlJgNTOymCSXCBUN0RHSldVRllITEFIRTQ1RzlUTlhETEY1RS4u

been getting spammed full with crash reports from someone that's trying to run the Kandria demo

the game loads in, but as soon as it tries to display a button prompt it crashes, complaining that it can't find a class that *has* to be there.

Weirder still, the report lists a commit ID for the game that... doesn't exist in my git history?

If you want to actually test beyond the immediate problem I reported just now, don't use the demo version, but rather launch the real copy and do a playthrough of its content.

I was able to. Though it took a long time without letting me do anything, just sitting in the cave.

Odd, it should show a screen where it explains that this is a mid-section of the game

Also if saving takes so long that's why it was lagging on the opening scene. It does a save there.

I thought I'd test with both XBone and Pro controller at the same time. Worked fine.

gingerale
Oh okay, yeah, it seems there was a completed update ten minutes before I said that.
17:46:41
shinmera
In any case, it was only noticeable in menus and in select points, and only with the controller that was detected as second.

How'd it feel playing the demo? Anything bother you? Anything weird? Anything you'd change? Anything you want more of or less of? etc

Well, gravity was really evil in the platforming puzzle sections - it forced really tight timing. I couldn't figure out what the point of light attacks were since they didn't even stagger the enemies. While I enjoyed exploring the buildings going between floors kept breaking the flow of just having fun running around, so I started skipping them. Would be great if there was a slide by hitting crawl during run.

Also took me a moment to spot the third camera - went right past it twice. Spike puzzle platforming was good fun once I got the feel of it though.
18:04:47
gingerale
Just running around all over the place was honestly so much fun I ended up trying to skip lifts by wall jumping just to keep the feeling of the flow going.

Probably no particular use you can't already crawl with. It simply doesn't stop you completely.
18:07:26
shinmera
Yeah. It's not needed to know it until region 3, at which point there's some puzzles where it explicitly forces you to do it.

Well, got my PDF search engine working. I'll probably need to re-index everything for better metadata storage at some point again, but it's working nicely from REPL.
