Jane meets Mr. Twigs when she needs a friend the most, but seasons are changing. Can she help her friend through the hot summer days, or is the fate of a snowman written in stone?
First person animations were great and really sold the startle. Did a great job of setting a somber mood and delivered a nice little life lesson at the end 😥
Wow, that was brutal! Lovely story and a sweet message from Mr. Twigs. The door was sometimes a bit hard to reliably open and get through. Overall a solid entry that made me sad!
wow, This game sets the mood really really well. The VFX, the snow, wind and the great shuttle music make it really relaxing. The only suggestion I had was that I wished all text needed to continued by pressing E. The first opening letter went a tiny bit to fast to completely read for me. This game reminded me of the 3th spyro game - spyro the year of the dragon. with its soft simple minigames and great soft love able characters.
thanks for the feels >:( no but seriously this was very well done. not sure if it was because i played the web version but, there was some frustrating frame lag, especially opening/going into the house. Also, some meshes only rendered 1 side and were transparent from behind, which is good in most cases. But, for example, the mini-pool hand chunks of transparent parts because we were looking at the back side of the surface (i think that's what was going on). FYI, you can render both sides of a surface if you turn culling off. in Godot, it's a drop down item in an objects material settings and i bet it's the same in Unity. Anyway, i didn't take any points off for these since it wasn't game breaking, very minor and i understand the time constraints of a game jam. just wanted to let you know.
From the comments it seems that i was the only one with this problem, but my mouse sensitivity was ridiculously high, it was pretty much impossible to play. Lovely graphics and sound though, and the melting snowman fits the theme really well! Good idea! :)
@leiv-erik Hey! I actually had the same issue after building for WebGL, but I wasn't able to reproduce the issue within the Unity editor and my colleagues weren't having any issues at all. We were short on time, so I just hoped it was a very rare issue and let it go :stuck_out_tongue: Thanks for the feedback!
@whysguy52 Thanks for the feedback! I'm curious about the rendering issue you witnessed. We tested on a small variety of environments and couldn't find anything like that - except specifically for the plastic pool being carried (which was just a camera clipping issue that was not within our priorities as time was short).
The art is beautiful as well as the story. I was getting all the happy vibes with my new snowman friend when in horror I remembered the theme of this game jam and immediately saw where this was heading! Really well done. Touching story
Pretty awesome and emotional game, thanks for the experience! :) Also loved the music and atmosphere! Managed to fell out of the world by side stepping up the mountains and pressing forward. :) Also the exit button starts the game as well for me in the windows version :D Couldn't play the web version, it was too laggy.
The web version is impossible to play, at least for me. I downloaded it and I was able to play it a little better, really the control of the camera is not very comfortable and it seems that it moves on its own. The atmosphere and art of the game are beautiful, I like it very much. I would love if it could be polished more, great job!! xD
@emaigualmc2-art Yeah, we didn't have the best of times building for WebGL. For my next jams, I'll use a more stable version of Unity if I'm building for the web. You're the second person to report an issue with the camera, which I also had myself but only outside of the Unity editor, it's the sort of bug that's horrible to catch in such a small amount of time.
@lanalux glad you liked our game! Love your dev streams btw
