For me one of the biggest examples of wasted potential in this game is the lightbulbs. This couldve been a game where your only method of defense would come at the cost of some of your visibility,as the game progresses, you'd slowly but surely lose light until you're surrounded by darkness, which could be terrifying if it was utilized properly

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

A couple of things that would make this game really cool, is if each animal in the park had unique behaviors that you had to learn and exploit. Say, the smile cats only become aggressive if you turn your back on them, the chimps only become aggressive if they are in a group, things like that. Another I would do, is make it so taking a lightbulb to reload your gun actually removed it from the light source you took it from, so every piece of ammo you took darkened more of the map, and the zookeeper could only move in the dark: now you have to balance how much ammo you take with how much "territory" you're giving the zookeeper.

[@Funsoms]

Hey, I'm a game dev and have worked in the same engine used for this game for over 6 years. Just to shed some light on the audio from the enemy(This is a common mistake and lesson early devs learn later than sooner, myself included): When you spawn in audio regardless of which node you use, you NEED to adjust the Sound Cue settings for it to behave as expected. Simply dropping in an audio file doesn't tell the engine where it should play, how it should play, or the reach of the audio, and the fallout from the end of the audio clip is by default abrupt.

[@kyleawsum7]

funniest thing about the cloning zookeeper is that there is no reason why he would be spawned in a what that allows that to happen, like legit hes a persistant threat that follows you wherever you go that should be a singular object thats sometimes teleported around when needed not a prefab to be spawned in

[@notherapy4u]

The only reason I could think is that the game literally spawns in new entities every time, but the code is broken and doesn't despawn the zookeeper, so it just spawns in multiple.

not having guys jumpscare you while in the safezone is as easy as setting a bool when youre in a safezone and making sure the jumscares are done after that check, the text that shows up when in the safezone shows that the first bit is already in the game and the fact that the camera isnt choppy as shit shows knowledge of update order, this is comically easy to fix and would be picked up instantly in testing.

[@axethannanth]

I feel that is actually already in place, but the problem might be the range of the enemy's jumpscare exceeding the safe zone before the player reached it, as I saw from one clip in the video. ...Though when he died after respawning in the safe zone kind of confused me, but I think the "being safe" variable wasn't saved alongside, so he had to respawn until the player character retriggered a trigger it was inside.

[@MartinSinto123]

What? I have no idea what you are saying.

[@axethannanth]

@@MartinSinto123 Code logic and things, they're basically saying that getting jumpscared in the safe zone could be prevented by checking if the player is in a safe zone or not, and that there's already a system in place to even check that they are inside the safe zone based on the text showing up whilst inside one but the check isn't being utilized in the game logic to prevent the enemies from jumpscaring you. Also, a bool (boolean) is a "true or false" variable used in if statements for code.

[@cyanity1017]

Gonna mention this, maybe the reason that the jumpscares are bad despite lightsareoff being an animator might be because of the format, he was probably more used to the jumpscares being to a set camera like in his videos so maybe the position of the player messing with the jumpscares wasn't anticipated. I think this probably could have been fixed by having the jumpscares be the monsters grabbing you before scaring you, or jumping at you in the case of monsters like smiling cat who don't have arms, so the camera stays fixed without messing with the jumpscare animation.

[@lucky6961]

some of them you can see the characters going below the camera so you're most likely right. They could be either a grab that pins the camera or straight up teleport to a void/out of bounds to prevent clipping

When I saw the Zoonomaly trailer, I immediately thought that the developer decided to quickly make a game similar to Zoochosis because you can see how hyped it was and how many people were waiting for it. The creator immediately thought that he could immediately come with his monsters and make money, because the trailer appeared a few months after the Zoochosis trailer and given how it was done, it may indeed have been made in a hurry. I don’t know, I don’t even like the design of the monsters, it’s not scary, just confusing, although it’s probably good for horror. P.s. Yes, yes, I checked and Zoonomaly came out before Zoochosis, just such a StRaNgE coincidence.

This game reminds me why you NEED game designer's and/or programmers to lead projects first and foremost over artists. While having artists lead your project can be great for the arts, my experience in the Indie game dev scene has proven to me that they usually forget the "Game" part of Video Game. Letting the gameplay, game quality (as in optimizations, playability, and stability), suffer for the sake of their artistic vision. While I can't share too many details, I'm a programmer who is helping some people who are working on a fan game and it's going really poorly on the dev front. The project is having it's attention split between itself and other projects, as they're all being lead by the same person. And there's no real focus, because the project lead is either doing art, or trying to do other stuff, and is focused on the artistic vision of the world and not making it a reality. As a book review I once saw up it. "Lost in the sauce of dreaming up a world, and imagining the amazing reactions people will have towards it. And not paying attention to the reality of making the world. Condemning you to failure, as you make the artist's equivalent of breaking the first rule of drug dealing. To never get high, on your own supply."

I think zoonomaly might've been a direct copy to another zoo horror game called 'Zoochosis' which I think may still be in early access or unreleased. (Edit, Zoochosis has a planned release date of this year, being announced on january 16 of this year, Zoonomaly was released this year, TWO MONTHS AFTER ZOOCHOSIS WAS ANNOUNCED)

[@EastFortress]

I got so SO many ads about Zoonomaly where it shows a video of the trailer but it has Catnap, Pomni, BanBan and Other Characters that have no relation to the game itself. Like what?

[@gianpierolafornara1708]

It's just some scummy company who have no relation to the dev that just want to profit the hell out of this game

[@EastFortress]

@@gianpierolafornara1708 maybe but I saw it listed it to the app Zoonomaly to the App Store

[@arashiuchiha1591]

I only heard about this because of ZOochosis and how much hype was surrounding it. I think Zoonamaly releasing around when the Zoochosis trailers were really taking off, helped it in a weird way but the problem is, that Zoonamaly originally HAD a Zoochosis model on it's advert image. I don't know if anyone else saw it, but for months on the steam store Zoonamly had the Giraffe Monster from Zoochosis instead of it's OWN monsters and when you clicked the steam page, then you saw the real image. Some crappy clickbait.

[@ThatOneLazyYoutuber]

My biggest gripe with the game is the design of the anomalies, i paused at 9:52 on the shot of the monkey and it just doesnt look like an animal or a real anomaly? I cant describe it but it looks like a plastic mascot for business that some demon crawled into after doing too much coke and it going on a rampage. even the brown stuff just looks like grime or dirt that gets stuck on a cheap statue. It sucks cause Lights Off did a lot of cool animations that were genuinely unnerving, i just dont understand why they went with these creatures for a game and not any other ones that would've been actually creepy to look at.

[@MadameSomnambule]

Back in the 2000s, 3D modeling looked like such a daunting task and even tutorials were overwhelming for me. But man, seeing how it works now, it's basically like making a digital clay sculpture. I should play around with Blender again some time with that in mind.

[@holo673]

a fairly cool thing that would make respawning better (idk how easy it would be to implement) is to have the enemies back up just far enough that they're obscured by the distance fog while you're in the safe zones

[@chimkencaesarsaladman4343]

I'm no game dev and certainly no programmer but I'd imagine it would be simple enough to have an 'if player safe then move to X coordinate' or 'stop hostile ai' and set coordinates for each of the enclosures. Not sure though

[@plasmabasher]

I said this in another video explaining Zoonomaly's shortcomings and I'll say it again: The creator should've stuck with short-form creepypastas. Trying to monetize a hobby that is designed around the short-term attention spans of the audience will never go well.

[@TheSoulArchitech]

Ehh... Idk. I feel like we shouldn't be discouraging new game devs from even _trying_ to make games. For all of this project's shortcomings, it has a lot of potential. I don't think he should have monetized his first attempt, but I'm still glad he tried to make a game to begin with. Telling someone to stay in their lane because "that's what they're good at" just discourages people from leaving their comfort zone and learning new skills.

Oh well, it is their first game after all. It's likely something they had little testing with someone other than themselves and also a project that took some time. I hope that if they try a second time, they would get some actual players to try out the game because the overall concept is not bad.

10:28 This point is so real. I was watching a KZbinr play the game and it got to the aquarium puzzle part. I was actually on edge because I love aquatic horror. But when he got the jumpscare, it was insanely disappointing.

[@snoupster]

I'm genuinely quite sad that this game ended up not being good. like it totally could have been. I love the idea of limited ammo that also works as a light source- Forcing the player to balance between visibility and fighting could be fantastic. Also, they could balance out the gameplay while still being open world by making areas locked through things like mechanics or knowledge (I've been playing animal well lately, but it's a great example- it limits areas through mechanics not being unlocked, but it also has some puzzles with ideas and mechanics that are broken down and simpler in one area, so doing that area first isn't necessary if you know what you're doing, but if you don't then it's effectively locked. i love it so much.) Also. RELEASE THE BLENDER FILE. I WANT THE MODEL.

As a game dev, i don't get how the safe zone issue flew below the radar. like, even i, making my bad games on roblox, get friends to test the game and return bugs, and i fix them, if a feature has bugs i just don't release it Btw about the sounds, if it's really not tied to the ingame models, i have genuinly no idea how LightsAreOff did that accidentally, because in the engine that i use it's resolved in a few clicks, and i'm pretty sure in UE too but don't quote me on that one... so it must have been done on purpose, but WHY?

[@johndoe9343]

23:33 I found that fast guy pretty funny. It can be easy to predict it's gonna go super fast when grabbing the key after being super slow, but nonetheless enjoyable.

you guys must be forgetting that this is the very first game made by a person who normally makes scary tiktok animations for a living, so I wouldn't expect much from it

They didn't. But if you ask for money for the game, reviewed as a payed game he will get. Rewarding the good points shouldn't come by not talking about the bad. At the end of the day, it was s solid first attempt, but it is still incredibly flawed

[@neoqwerty]

@@PrinceSoph It is definitely not a game you'd want to release for money. Source: amateur game maker and my favorite Games Done Quick block is the Awful/Silly GDQ segment, can very confidently say not making sure the safe spot is safe is really really basic to troubleshoot and fix in pseudocode: if [safe_zone] is TRUE then remove [player_scarebox] (or: disable [enemy_spotplayer]), else (literally everything the enemy AI normally does)

Plus, the game has potential on its own. These critiques will certainly help if the developer decides to try making a game again. The first attempt can't be perfect, but you need to know what to improve to make it better. :)

i mean this as nicely as possible and i speak from experience (master’s in game design): sometimes being an artist (animator, modeler, etc.) does not equate to being a game designer. games are so much more than just gameplay, visuals, sounds, or story. that’s why it takes a team (or someone with all of those skills) to make games people are willing to pay money for.

watched it now, the optimization you need is Retopology, basically you take your sculpted model, and then make a low poly model on top of it, later you can do tricks like baking normal maps onto the low poly model so you basically get free detail and a HUUUUUGGE boost in not lagging the computers. that part is what garten of banban models were missing, they were simply sculpted and left as is
