Fantastic job, Jamie, well done.
I found myself immersed throughout and intrigued by the potential outcomes.
As a sci-fi fan I found the setting captivating.
Suggestions and fixes:
- Consider adding a depressurizing chamber connecting the interior of the shuttle to the exterior as the depressurization, upon opening the hatch (pressure inside of shuttle is different from the outside), would surely cast you far out of the shuttle along with anything else that is not securely bolted down, the drastic temperature change would probably also effect electronics.
- Opting to secure the antenna loosely implies that actually secures it tightly to the heat shielding.
- After shutting off the power, obtaining the wire strippers, then attempting to inspect the “larger panel” (by pressing “S”) I could not progress any further - no input commands appeared to be logging, I could replicate this bug twice.
- Upon loosely attaching the antenna and having returned to investigate it, the dialogue implied that it had been firmly attached to the heat shielding.
What I liked:
- The death tally after every playtrhoug, and by extension the multiple endings
- The relevant updates to state changes, for example: what I was carrying and what I was wearing
- The logical and intuitive flow that required a attentive and methodical approach
- The attention to detail - I intentionally checked the viewport again to note if the situation would demonstrate the recent developments, I was pleased to see that it had
- I got to wear an EVA suit
Thoughts:
- Good thing I had the driver equipped when I decided to launch myself to the upper ladder rungs on my second playthrough.
Playthroughs: 6
- Electrocuted after attempting to clean the frayed wired - I assumed the wire strippers had insulated grips - only later did I realise that had I paid more attention I would have noticed that the grips were cracked.
- Brutally “final destinationed” after the antenna came loose and crashed through the outer and inner layers of what I thought should’ve been fused and tempered silicate panes
- Cast out into the burning void after the heat shielding failed on re-entry.
- Hurled out the open hatch - left the hatch open to see what would happen… the result didn’t come as a surprise.
How much time did you spend on this project? Did you enjoy yourself throughout?
