Hey there,
a couple of days ago i released the 1.0 update of Portal Defect.
While 1.0 in name there is still work to be done and things to improve.
most updates in 1.0 are related to mechanics, AI and level design.
Also i adjusted the price of the game as i found the previous price point a bit much in retrospective for the first serious game i developed and i found it now to reflect the game better as a snack for in between :P and for what it was intended.
As a Solo and first time dev there are a few challenges that i will try to address soon with the help of some more experienced devs who just offered there help,
most notably:
-Performance: while the game works fine for the most part and have been improved in that regard by me already there are still here and there some framerate drops that i so far cant seem to find the reason for.
Hopefully will be fixed with the next patch to improve a smooth playing experience.
-Size: while there are many objects and environments in the game 20 gb is still a tiny bit much and i hope to reduce the size of the final game by a bit.
-While the game is and was always intended as a game without much story and mostly as a quick play for in between i will still try to add somewhat of a storyline in future updates to at least round out the experience a bit.
Its a project i love working on and started during times of corona, it has its kinks and flaws but i try to address them one at a time, so every feedback is welcome may it be negative or positive.
(rest assured i read them all and while i might not be able to respond to them all there are all collected and considered)
Best regards and stay safe!
