MDT: Make it or Die Trying

do i need the godot engine to play the game? keeps opening command window and crashes for some reason

I downloaded the Public 2 file, but it seems to only open in the Notes app??

How do I get to the area where it asks for a password, or did I just download the whole thing wrong?

ok this is weird i put in the password and it gave me the files but nothing happens when i click on them, i also cant extract them AND cant take them to file explore (i opened the file from files app because if i open it on file explorer is says "the (file name) unavailable at the moment) huh???? 

like dude why did is there a password :(

will there be a version without a password thanks

I don't use this thing much. How do I play it? 

was getting 15 FPS on the labs level, so I decompiled the game and opened up the base_level scene on its own. somehow, even in a level with literally nothing in it besides the player, I was getting only 20fps with 90%+ memory and GPU usage. ai and baked shadows arent your problem, whatever unholy game development practices from hell that youre using are

what is the password i cant play

Melee weapons deal too little damage. 

I had a weird ass bug where the ai turned off and enemies just didnt react to bullets (sorry i wasnt recording and i haven no clue what started it, though i was in the cargo area)

the reloading losing magazine mechanic isnt explained well

and during the tutorial it isnt immedietly obvious that going in that room will kill you and that ur supposed to hang back and let the roof fall

Visually i think the levels are too bright especially in the cargo section. The eyes feel hurt and this makes combat disorienting (which might be good if thats what ur going for) but this does hurt gameplay, i also think guns feel weak, the pistol especially feels ineffective, i think it'd be better to have a lower time to kill

melee weapons arent incentivised enough, blocking takes too long and it doesn't reflect bullets additionally ammo is way too plentiful. i think reworking melee so it has it's uses (look at hotline miami) where you may want to pick it up off the floor etc to maybe knock a gun out of an enemies hand or throw it hell even use it as a shield, would be nice and add more variety to the game.

also the parkour feels to weighty, i feel like im constantly jumping with a bag of rocks attached to me, firstly not sure if this is implemented but id implement coyote time, id also look at maybe making parkour more smooth somehow and making jumping feel less like a chore, especially since you seem to utilise it (it feels hard to tell where i can and cant jump sometimes)

Melee enemies hate it if your inside of them or in walls, maybe have them either push you out of them or just move away so they can hit you

Suggestion:

to add to the more chaotic flow of the game, if you get damaged a lot in a short span you should add a hitman blood money esc effect where the screen slowly gets more and more red, the music intensifies and time slows down. I think that would genuinely fit the vibe your going for (as evidenced by the music) and help out with this sort of weird grimey gruesome atmosphere

Also theres 0 indication when i cant not shoot someone. like bullets seem to just get eaten? and i cant really see where they go in low light environments which only makes the issue worse (would be nice if bullets when leaving the gun either lit up the environment or where brighter or  you just indicated the spread of shot or something on those lines)

Enemy ai seems weird and just gets stuck especially melee enemies, it also seems to just not react all too well, it isnt uncommon for a pistol enemy to just stare at me like he's just had the biggest weed in his life, i think enemies just dont react how you'd expect them too and this makes combat while yes sometimes tense with you having to take cover, sometimes also way too easy

also there was a bug where a circular barrel just did nothing

Actually now play testing more i think a push mechanic would be great for the player as well, maybe it could ragdoll enemies who arent melee (since they can sometimes get stuck inside of you) and deprive them of their weapon adds another layer of combat, you can also then ahve it so you can push after a block as an easy way to take down a parried enemy, idk just seems useful

During the bunker level i got shot off screen and i think im going to stop playing from there, this has potential but i think a lot of mechanics just dont work yet, high time to kill isnt very satisifying and the enemy ai isnt too smart

Якщо я правильно зрозумів то ви з України, вітаю земляку! Якщо був неправий то всеодно все продублюю на англійській щоб інщі користувачі теж могли прочитати. Знайшов по вашому відео, дуже класна подача як для початку доречі.
Ітак, по другій демці:
+
Унікальний і високоякісний візуал
Прекрасні Анімації
Чудовий саунд дизайн
Самобитний і мальовничий стиль

Дуже повільний "біг"
Не вистачає метання холодної зброї, бо надто вона слабка, одного додіка можна пів року гамселити, щоб поті всеодно застрелити коли остопиздить.
Не зрозуміла система набоїв(у меня всеж видаляются патрони з магазину чи це просто такий візал?
Сердце хоч і є дуже брутальним показником здоровья, але блін ніхріна не показує скільки його у тебе, рівноцінно красному краю єкрана.
Ворогам не вистачає відкліку, візуально бомбезно - кров, дірка від пулі, все як потрібно, але сам він нікуди не рушится, як стояв так і стоїть, потрібно щоб частини тіла здригалися від попадань.

Знаю що мінусів багато, але більшість з них це просто пережитки ранньої перед Альфи, не смертельно. Тепер щодо багів які я побачив:

Будь які анімації крім атаки перериваются коли гравець в повітрі, при цьому сама дія не скасовується, як і звук(в випадку з перезарядкою)

Вороги більше туплять ніж деруться, я бачив як ви працювали над ІІ, але в грі вони 80% бою просто шкерятся по кутам, я коли хотів навчитися парирувати по 10 секунд чекав поки він мене вдарить. В пустому корридорі.

Блок не працює, як і парування. Фактично удар блокується, але зброя проходить наскрізь і бьє ще раз, отримуєш шкоду як від першого так і від другого, а парирування повністю мало того що не зупиняє урон з першого разу, так ще і зовсім не допомагає, бо супротивника станить на такий же що і тебе час.
Мені дуже сподобалось, очікую наступний девлог з нетерпінням!

If I understood correctly, you are from Ukraine, hey земляк(I genuinely can`t translate this)! If I was wrong, I will still duplicate everything in English so that other users can also read it. Found it from your video, very cool editing for a start by the way.
So, according to the second demo:
+
Unique and high-quality visuals
Beautiful Animations
Great sound design
Unique and picturesque style

Very slow "running"
Lacks melee throwing, because melee is too weak, one dude can be beaten for half a year, only for you to shoot him when you get bored.

New players aren`t explained about the ammunition system (am I still getting bullets removed from me when i reload or is it just a visual?)

The heart, although it is a very cool, brutal indicator of health, but the damn thing doesn’t show how much you have, basically making it equivalent to the red edge on the screen.

Enemies do not have enough feedback, it is visually bombastic - blood, a bullet hole, everything is as it should be, but the enemy itself does not move anywhere, it is necessary that parts of the body shudder from hits, it makes gunplay more impactful.

I know that there are many disadvantages, but most of them are just caused by the early pre-Alpha, not fatal.

Now about the bugs that I saw:

Any animations except attacking are interrupted when the player is in the air, while the action itself is not canceled, as well as the sound (in the case of reloading)

Enemies cower in fear more than they fight, I saw how you worked on the AI, but in the game, 80% of the battle they just scurry around the corners. When I wanted to learn to parry, I waited for 10 seconds until he hit me. In an empty corridor.

Block doesn't work, as does parrying. In fact, the blow is blocked, but the weapon goes through and hits again, you get damage both from the first and from the second, and parrying does stop the damage from the first hit, but the second still deals full damage. also parrying is useless, because the opponent will be stunned for the same time as you areafter parrying, due to block cooldown.

 

I really enjoyed it, I look forward to the next devlog!

Геймплей отличный, однако каждый раз сталкиваюсь с багом - трупы так сильно отлетают при смерти, что улетают куда-то за текстуры и игра начинает невероятно лагать. Если откатиться на чекпоинт при возникновении этого бага, то игра вылетает. 

Great game, but right now the melee feels a little shallow, as the weak attack and the strong attack seem to have the same cooldown and there seems to be no reason to use a weak attack. Also, my game crashed upon trying to respawn at the part where you get your first gun.

The combat is super fun and I love the music. Enemies are interesting and the melee combat is also fun and everything feels really juicy. I think that gibs/gore should have a bit more leniency, because I rarely ever saw any of the gib sprites (maybe I just suck)

However, the only thing that kind of made it bad to play was the fact that my game seemed to be stuck on ~30FPS. Be it in an empty room or in a room with 20 enemies, my FPS was around the 30 mark. No idea why, changing the resolution and turning down the graphics didn't change anything

I love the madness combat style. The base of the game is great, but I think it lacks the juiciness of the original. Maybe you should add screen shake, more decals of blood, or grenade explosion sprite (because the existing one is too dry) . I would also like more dynamics, for example, running back )) I do not know why, but I am very unaccustomed. Otherwise, the game has a huge potential to become my favorite.
