Just watching the youtube clip looks like the game is fun. Is it possible to play with controller? Maybe L1 and R1 could switch who im healing, while X, Y, Square, Circle is the spells i cast, in addition i could maybe hold down L1 or R2 and get another set of 4 spells.
As someone who mainly played healer in World of Warcraft for many years, i do want more healer focused games.
One thing i saw in the video was that it was hard for me to know who your party members was. After a while i understood. Could maybe have their names in green text below them and health bar above them in addition to their health bars down below the screen.
Ah i should update the YT clip (and the game instructions on the page), just noticed it’s a little outdated. Thanks for reminding me :D
But to answer you, yep the current build is playable with most common controllers: face buttons+triggers for abilities, right stick to switch target. I plan on adding better controller support and remapping down the line though.
I believe the current UI does a better job at differentiating between allies and foes, so hopefully you won’t have the issue when you play it.
That’s great, i think if you played a healer in WoW, you might recognize a lot of the mechanics haha, hope you enjoy and let me know if you have feedbacks <3
I played it and I like the game a lot. It has potential for being great. Its a bit niche i guess since we all know that there is always more DPS than HEALERs all around any game with class roles.
A few things i noticed.
In the settings menu (in main menu) also has a Quit button, which to me is odd. If i wanted to quit the game i would just go back to main menu and quit there.
I had to complete the first level two times before i got a "check"-marker on it.
The tanks DPS was very low (first level). He did hits like 2 damage. The first battle felt never ending. This in combination with that he sometimes didnt hit, or maybe wasnt close enough to the slime. Im not sure.
I play with mouse and keyboard and sometimes i had to hit a spell twice before i started casting it.
I feel that some spells could be instant-cast which i can cast while running. For the priest, the renew spell could fit here.
Sometimes it gets very stressful as a healer (in any game i suppose, which is good. But i need an instant OH_SHIT_BUTTON that saves the day that i can use once or twice the battle.
This one is more preferrable to me, but while running and I press to start a heal, i instantly stop to cast the heal. I loose control. Instead i should get a message saying i cant cast this spell while moving. Again, this is just my preference.
Hmm, what else.. ah, yes
When casting a spell, you do show the cast bar in my profile. I'd like to also see this cast bar, with the spells name inside of it centered, below my character.
Having your Health and Mana fighting for the same amount of space feels bad. Maybe you could have health above, mana below? Otherwise when i have 50% health, a quick glance would trick me thinking i have 25% health. You what I mean?
Keep polishing the game, im excited to try newer versions!
