Steam Next Fest - Share your demo feedback!

[mbxrs_plaion]

Have you played or watched our Scars Above demo during Steam Next Fest last week?

We'd love to hear from you! Tell us what you liked the most and what we can improve. 📝

Why did you cutoff the demo so quickly? It really did not give enough time for a lot of potential purchasers to really determine if we want to buy your game.

demo did not work on steam deck or any linux OS for that matter. all threads looking for any kind of support were ignored by devs.

just saw it now and wonder as well where the demo is.

[mbxrs_plaion]

The demo was only available during the Steam Next Fest and devs weren't sure it was playable on Steam Deck yet. Sorry if you have missed the demo, rest assured that if there ever is another one, we'll communicate it on all our social platforms.

Loved it, please keep the mechanics they way it was in the demo! Loved the switching etc.. to do more damage on mobs and bosses.

I wonder whats the point of Demos only available for a short time? Looks like lots of ppl missed it and you got no feedback at all. :/ looks like it just was a waste of Dev time.

And keep it there. Not only you get more interest from people but also more feedback.

Look at the recent released asterigos. They updated the demo with the feedback they've gotten before release. Maybe do it this way too.

I can confirm it's not working on Linux so it won't on Steamdeck as well. Videos play with Proton GE 7-42, but the main menu freezes afterwards. Best way to make this work is to use another codec to encode your videos which is compatible with Linux. A good example is the last Shantae game which worked out of the box thanks to the videos being encoded with the right codec (surely because it released on Ipad first, and Apple is quite difficult with that)

说几点个人想法吧。
1.射击必须先锁定后才能射击是不懂为什么要这么设计，你这样设计得话火枪前摇超级长！
2.人物奔跑是有延迟反应得能明显察觉到。好像翻滚也无无敌。每次翻滚后再加速跑总跑不上。
3.关卡得BOSS距离复活点真滴有点远。
4.明显你手柄可以跳过，电脑不能跳过出场动画这么明显得问题还在出现（任何键都不行）。

the game would (or will) be good, but:
* I died 5 times from poison before I even got the ability to fight it.
* don't overuse jump-scares in the water! it gets exhausting! and it's unfair.
* when you have a mile to run from the last checkpoint - don't respawn bosses or mini-bosses - that's just bad game design! even dark souls knows this!
* the last boss is absurd! he has higher reach, is faster and the time window to charge the weapon,aim and shoot is WAY to small!

when I first heard of the game I thought "oh, McGiver in Space!", but you decided to make it a frustrating shooter! wouldn't be necessary. you have ohter qualities!

[yunyaev.vladimir]

Yes. ну что сказать то , игра отличная , интересная , захватывающая Графика сюжет боевые сцены выглядят потрясно , интригует сюжет , мрачная и загадочная атмосфера планеты и т д разработчики выкладывались делая эту игру

[Velldanas]

Nice. Wishlisted.

[yunyaev.vladimir]

Доброго времени суток , уважаемые разработчики , спасибо за игру , если возможно оценить все сильные и слабые стороны игры быть более обьективным , чуточку подтянуть графику , сделать более удобным интерфейс , проработать карты , подсказки , уровни игры , но и конечно дополнения проект не забрасывайте а развивайте и далее , интересно что ж там далее по сюжету

Just finished the demo here's some quick feedback:
The setting kinda reminds me of Returnal for some reasons.

The combat feels good, graphics looks great and optimization is amazing which is a rare thing these days.
Nice soundtrack and cool sound effects.
Data extrapolation and investigations phases are confusing and not very intuitive, also feel clunky and sluggish looking for clues using the mouse.
That puzzle with the pyramidal shapes was painful as well, first it is obtuse and rotating pieces with the mouse was a real pain in the ass.
Low quality cgi cutscenes must be improved though, they looks very low budget and contrast badly with the rest of the game.

The game have potential, I enjoyed the demo except for that crap puzzle, added to wishlist and followed titles.
