One thing I absolutely love about this game is that it makes you feel... small. Like i mean most games have like really bad scaling like with the trees and with say for example cars, like when the player is 2x as tall as the car and when the trees are too skinny and too short making you feel big and powerful. This game makes you feel kind of small and helpless. I love that in horror. It also feels... realistic or maybe that's just cause im short 💀

[@Wishbone_Games]

I think even the tallest person would feel short there, i worked a lot on making you feel that, mainly in the final week. I really wanted you to feel like you are nowhere near the top of the food chain, like youre just part of the ecosystem

[@darty4421]

@@Wishbone_Games Yes, also I love the FOV in this game it just feels so realistic. A lot of the other horror games get the graphics perfect but stuff like fov, running speed, and a bunch of other non - graphical stuff wrong which ruins the realiistic aspect. Great Game.

[@memesfrommycomputer]

YOU ROBBED MY CHILD

[@naruarthur]

the idea is amazing, but i think the heart should be a little more mechanical and less accurate with a human heart but now that you don't have to follow the theme of the challenge, you should actually make the flesh spread in the barn as you feed the heart, so the barn will be a ribcage for whatever you are feeding.. you can take a direction from there :P

[@sparky-xz1nb]

I think making it more mechanical would be enough. But the flesh spreading in the barn sounds cool. Also maybe the spread of the machine as well. So it kinda ends up growing into a cyborg like monster

[@naruarthur]

@@sparky-xz1nb i think the half machine is cool, but could work either way, but yeah, you feed the heart so it can grow back and become a big monster would make a cool ending

Saw Vermin from the dev challenge and was super impressed by how quickly you were able to build that tense of an atmosphere without relying on cheap tricks like jump scares. That wendigo scene with low vis is going to stick with me a long time. One of my uncles worked on a game (I think for 2k) that was called Evolve (IIRC). Basically, one player played as a monster/creatur; beginning as something relatively harmless that would evolve into pure nightmare fuel as it successfully hunted down other players. I feel like a 3v1 setting, where one player plays as the wendigo and gets stronger as it hunts other players that progressively get weaker (though with a floor that still makes later rounders somewhat balanced; due to the radiation damage) would be fit this game perfectly.

If you ever come back to this project i have a idea for you PROGRESSION - Make the entire world and atmosphere mutate , it gets grimmer and darker , creatures get more disgusting , more voices in head . The player looses sanity as the world does metamorphosis . STORY- The player is actually inside a creatire formed of elements of nature and came to life due to radioactivity . Prolonged radioactivity from [ some source] is causing it to change further . Player has to stop it from doing metamorphosis by letting it not consume enough radiation . GAMEPLAY- The creature ie the forest/area spawns creatures , walking trees , movable stones and other stuff ro stop player from eleimination the [source] .

Dude, I mean this 100% when I say this: STOP SELLING YOUR GAME SHORT. Vermin is easily the most promising game out of all of them -- it reminds me a lot of David Szymanski's Iron Lung (atmosphere wise), which is a game that also has very simplistic ""bad"" gameplay but an overall incredible experience. Point is that games are experiences first and foremost. Btw your game deserved to win for sure. No disrespect to FluffyPotato, but a pixel roguelike shooter is hardly a new and interesting game at this point-- no matter how polished the gameplay.
