My concerns about the game
My feeling about the game for now is : It looks like it's made by people who have not played that much survival games.

And the game looked promsing / amazing in the trailers and for now it's allmost ARK in alpha for the content I expect in the game yet. It's not bad. But it's not 2024 : )

Enshrouded was here a month ago. I was expecting Nightingale to be way better. It's in fact the other way.

The game is in early access I know it. But if I look at the screens. At home for me it's a PS4 game. It's ugly.

You should make the tutorial more cinematic.
Example : The "drawing" starting video but in the sky when you get wood and an explanation from puck. At stages like that. To make the tutorial look to be with more content.

Because for now when you are in the tutorial the game looks more empty than a game like Lost oasis. Or Conan exiles if it was a demo only.

You need to make the player have the feeling to be involved.

Your game shouldn't be online when it doesn't need to be.

I HATE having to eat, sleep, drink in games because if I allready don't do it in life, I'll die.
Imagine if I have to be standing on a skateboard to play tony hawk (Well they did that at a moment and it was a good idea to die)
In your game it's not... That horrible yet... But the ONLY moments that's interessting are :

SLEEP : Skip day or night
EAT : Buff yourself to go in a specific weather. Hot food for cold areas, etc...
DRINK : Life doesn't regen (Or mana) and you need to drink to refill it. Of course out of combat.

You need to eat too much. It's both a bad thing to have to eat and when it's too much it makes me feel the vibes of ARK who was badly done on that point. If I eat a steak in real life, even if I cut trees. I'll be fed for at least 4 Hours.

I HATE when I have blood HUD or the character breathing / moaning to death. < You have the second part. That's really annoying.
My character is hungry. Yeah. But it's like she / he is crying all the time. It's horrible. The bar is allready flashing. I don't need the moaning and other "sound alerts" or "HUD alerts" out of that. I just want to put the volume to zero.

EDIT : My god... You've the "Blood HUD" too...

The messages of humidity and warning like "no endurance" should be lower on screen and you should improve your HUD (It's my work). The buttons of the keyboard / gamepad look ugly too.

It's raining in my tipi.

I died of the rain ??? LOL (I hope not it would be a BIG red flag for me)

WELL I imagine I died because my character was moaning. But nothing... Anywhere explain me what's the problem (and how to solve it). There's no Health tab

The campfire is WAY too deadly if you step in it.

The Disclaimers at start should show only once.

The dash with the knife is a good thing but maybe we should be able to lock enemy ?
(Maybe you can I didn't found it)

With the gamepad it's not easy to navigate in the interface. You should improve (a lot) it.

Objects are breaking too fast.

You can improve the "tunnel effect" of the portal. Make it more beautiful too.

You've a concept with the portal and good ideas. The basis isn't THAT bad

But for now I feel like I'm playing Atlas without all the boat mechanics.

That's VERY low in survival games.

I hope the best for Nightingale. I hope you'll do whatever you can to make it at least look like the trailers : )
