Demajen playtests... the "Isle of Reveries" Kickstarter Playtest Demo (Everything Else)
8My video on the original demo: • 18 — ""Isle of Reveries" Kickstarter Demo ...
Part one of my playtest experience: • Demajen playtests... the "Isle of Reveries...
As the title of the video suggests, I was a Kickstarter backer for "Isle of Reveries" so I've put (a very small amount of) money towards its development. I want it to be good.
That being said, as always, I'm incredibly blunt, opinionated, and like what I like, so expect some critique — and I do TRY and make it actual critique rather than just criticism (there's a difference!) — as we go through.
The video features multiple annotations for things I found important, including feedback. LIsten for the Metal Gear "Alert!" sound.
