z_bill Posted June 14, 2017 I like this. Reminds me of Persona. Your approach to make it ultra-simple then add in features as they occur to you is a smart one I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drierplease Posted June 15, 2017 I've been checking in on this game, and I just want to say it is lookin' great! I love everything about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunless Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks for the great feedback guys! I think my game is done, only thing thats annoying me is the flickering UI in this gif. Not sure why its happening, seems to only happen when 2 or more animated pieces of UI are displayed. But at this point I think I'll just tag it as 'known: shippable' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henke Posted June 18, 2017 Nope, Win version doesn't work because it's just the .exe file. You need to include the whole folder in the download, including the "Data" folder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sunless Posted June 18, 2017 Windows version should be working now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henke Posted June 19, 2017 Yup, it works! Very nice and eerie game. Only bugs I found was that if you're walking when you start talking to someone you keep on walking, and if you walk next to the door on the left the camera clips through the wall. Oh, and I had to Alt+F4 to quit, you should include a proper quit function. Also, one last technical note on the Win build: the 2 .pdb files in the folder are debug files(Unity always includes these). They're not needed for the game, so if you delete them before zipping you can cut down the size by quite a few MB's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brendonsmall Posted June 19, 2017 This game's mood is off the hook, yo. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pdotjpg Posted June 19, 2017 Really cute little game. I agree that the atmosphere is great. Love the art and especially the music. Spoiler The gag/twist at the heart of this works really well. I laughed out loud. As for complaints, I'll echo the little issues that Henke mentioned, and the fact that I wasn't quite sure when I was done with the game.

Sunless Posted June 20, 2017 Thanks for the feedback guys! I should be able to upload a build with bug fixes and a few improvements later this week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted June 20, 2017 I'll pop this here as it took me a while to find! https://sunless.itch.io/super-pools-n-ghosts-hamburger-mode-edition Wow, the art design and production values on this are fantastic, and the mix of dark humour and elegiac tone works so well. Gorgeous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryanfb Posted June 24, 2017 Nice graphics, chill vibe, and every game needs a hamburger mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zirrrus Posted June 24, 2017 Really cute and at the same time pretty dark, very nicely done! The only issues I had were the walking thing and the text of the quote ghost being a little too fast. You can also take a peek at the beautiful pink sky through the walls(at the little recesses/doorways) but those are all really minor things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
getinthedamnbox Posted June 24, 2017 Such a surprising blend of moods---I really dig it. Unusual entries like this stand out for me in a big way. Your 2D and 3D art are both fantastic, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moncolin Posted June 24, 2017 I have to agree with everybody, it's a game with a really nice atmosphere . The 3D, 2d and music go very well together and with the theme. The main things I would add to it would be a way to quickly restart the game. Spoiler I jumped in the pool pretty much right away, which is fine but then I had to alt-F4 and launch the game again to see the human dialogues. Which I don't think you want your players to do. Also having the ability to pass the dialogues would be a nice plus. Having to wait every time to see the different answers got a bit tedious. Also hamburger mode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunless Posted June 25, 2017 Thanks to everyone for the feedback! Haven't had much time to work on the game since last week. Trying to figure out a way to stop her movement while in conversation. Hopefully I'll be able to figure it out soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zerofiftyone Posted June 25, 2017 The animated UI assets in this were really cool and well made, and made me wish I could made stuff with that style and character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
