M3 Design Feedback for Glitched Out

scarrollrcad commented 4 years ago

Global

With the exception of Connor's level the entire experience has a clear design and narrative arc. Some of the narrative about the Bugs / Ants need more punctuation... ie. why did they "go bad"
In general, replacing the battery doesn't produce clear visual change or progression - whether it's lights powering on or a computer screen finally getting juice there's needs to be a memorable event with sound and visual support.
Glue Gun feels like an unnecessary afterthought - why isn't it being utilized in the later levels to prevent the bugs from re-spawning?
The humor is coming thru via the VO and some of the in game actions

Sung / Level Gray

battery VO "look left" instead of right
power restored objective celebration before all bugs are destroyed - work on the timing
power off and on event needs to more visual and audio impact

Tyler / Level Blue

Have t00l stay in front of player during level intro then park and proceed to the attachment area once a mission is established
need VO direction on how to use cryo bombs - cryo bombs icon over pipes would help.
VO suggestion after competing objective: "you're the cyro-bomb diggity"
old VO "they're supposed to replace us" not synced up with bots
old bot model still exists in level
no sense of completion - chaotic bug music never faded away after shooting them all

Connor / Level Red

Jarod / Level Green

no obj text for bugs
pod deployed before all of the bugs cleared away
make use of the glue fun to plug up the bugs and keep them from re-spawning (need VO for this)
