"The First Project" - A new narrative sci-fi Game Boy game in 2021 !

Does the cartridge version come with a box?

Bonjour, comme je t'ai dit sur facebook via le groupe gameboy france, j'ai commencé ton jeu et je l'apprécie, je t'avais envoyé un petit message via messenger, (je ne pense pas que tu l'ai vu), car j'avais 2 / 3 questions pratique sur la conception du jeu :) .

Hi Ted, as promised via Twitter, please find some thoughts and comments about your game below (I think this page is better suited for feedback). I have recently completed the game via my Kickstarter cartridge and did enjoy it very much, but I think there might be some points to consider for upcoming projects (or if you feel like amending them in this) :)

- I love the music, but the looping sometimes seems to be off. Apart from the title screen (where, at a certain point, it devolves into a contiouus beeping), this happened specifically early on in the antenna area, were I assume the game expected me to leave quicker than I did. At least it got eerily silent while I read the notes in that room during the evacuation scene :)

- You should probably look into having someone proofread the English. While I never struggled to understand what was going on, it sometimes felt weird and sometimes outright off. For a game as story-centric as yours, this is a major drawback in my opinion.

- The story was very interesting to follow, but felt a bit rushed at the end (but maybe that's for a successor to tackle) - I wouldn't have minded reading MORE and playing LESS, I felt your game is very much a visual novel anyway :)

- In regards to that "playing LESS" above: I felt the more gamey elements (jump & runs, and such) were the least fun. This may be partially due to the relatively weak controls (the jumping, swimming, or spaceship chase for example) potentially coming from GBStudio, but generally saying, those could use some more work. Thankfully those sequences are nice and short :)

- That being said, though, your checkpoints (especially in the early half of the game) are awfully set :-D I had to retry the Mars caves and swimming scenes a couple of times, and it was extremely annoying to read through the introdcution and password screens every single time - might be worth thinking about chaning the checkpoints to AFTER these text boxes (by the way, that includes the killer-crab scene, where trial & error is basically unavoidable) :)

All that being said now, I still enjoyed the game very much, I liked following the story and meeting the characters, I think me saying I would have loved to read MORE (in-game) about the universe is telltale on that, so great work and thank you very much! :)
