Bootstrap Island
ok a few quirks.
i bought the game, and it is fun, first thing is it needs some performance improvements. its hard to get into a vr game with stutters. ive minimized it but still.
next is why rougelite. survival and crafting go hand in hand. why in heck do i need to rush all the time. it might be ok in other cases, but for gods sake i have to carry everything 10 feet just to prepare to do something. this brings me to the inventory....
you have gun holsterz, which would take out so much frustration.and now you have a backpack and hard to build fences. whyare core mechanics gated to the end game. at most make them craftable... actually yea, you need to lean hard into the crafting and quality of life stuff here. becuase survival isnt hard. maybe some struggle with it but im never like gonna die from thirst. which is ok, if im preoccupied. there was a vr game called island time back when vr started. and it was all about the need to eat food and survive on this teeny island. no movement. honestly it was great. you crafted spears and i little thing to help you grab stuff. now in that you would eventually die from starving. in this its more manage your day or be unprepared at night. which i like i love dont starve type shiz.
theres also the problem of i dont know what the game will allow me to do. im always feeling like im doing something wrong. like can i not use the knife for anything, i thought for sure i could make a spear or arrows or something. if not thats cool, but how wouldmi ever, ever know i could stab the coconut and drink it. and people say its refillable, im like with what, what game are they talking about lol. hints and guidance on what im allowed to do is super important in vr.

that said ill bullet point it.
1.performance
2.crafting
3.holster and inventory bag should be more accessible. add more items if you still want to do ending prize.
4. i dont even want to move, the guy keeps saying move and i just wanna collect more stuff and have fun.( 3 and 4 would be nicely solved with a way to craft. for instance, after so much time you will run out of bullets. so let us craft some. at some point well be like damn im sick of losing my gun, or it falliing through floor or monsters knock it to oblivion. of course youll need metal for the one thing, but metal opens alot of doorz in crafting. and a crafting station isnt really needed, just a button to enter craft mode where you put the items together, or any other way.
5.me confuse easy, let me know what im capable of.]
ti know its alot but i would love to see this game be great like into the radius and others. that game started rouuuugh. now its a gem.

good luck devs, i wish you success.
