One of the most interesting parts of making Ringfall is the feedback we get. I've noticed with other devs in the industry they always seem to end up incredibly confused, quickly become critical of our game and, in a few cases, they've laid into me (through someone else) for planning on having actual conversations with players. (???) I'm not sure if this comes from the recent disconnect between players and devs or something else, but this has really stood out to me. In the overwhelming majority of tests we've had, players understand what we're doing almost immediately. We usually need to show them our player physics and explain a little bit on how GRIT (shields) works, but player questions are almost always asked with the intention of helping them learning the game instead of criticizing it. Don't get me wrong, I find all feedback valuable, this is why we're starting public tests in a few months. It's just the opposite of what I expected. Anyway, here's a clip from our last test.
