Sun - (Another Very Short Mod)

Another mod I made because why not? Anyways all I got is two sentences for you. Leave your home. Get to the sun.

Link to the mod: Sun
Btw please go play After Story by jfrog it's where I got the menu image from!

~~Screenshots~~

 

Interesting idea. Also nice to see an image from After Story in another mod.
It's funny, but by a strange coincidence I took a walk before the walkthrough, hmm...

 

Spoiler: thoughts

- is there a way to toggle fullscreen? freeware doesn't really play nice with monitor resolution in fullscreen anymore
- the textboxless dialogue is really hard to make out, especially outside - my suggestion would be to like... maybe switch between top/bottom textbox for narration vs 'inner self' (for lack of a better name i'm writing this stuff on the fly), or use brackets to denote inner self's dialogue, etc
- digging the music a lot, though, the balcony one especially feels very eerie and sets the tone well
- please allow for a save before the platforming void area, having to redo the y/n section is tedious (i know it's baby's first platforming in terms of skill ability, i deliberately jumped off to see what would happen but like, still)

- oh hey kazuma. my name is hopeless??? that's a weird name
- oh hey i have the booster
- oh hey ballos
- oh hey ballos got stuck. welp guess that makes my job easier



- this got a chuckle out of me
- falling blocks? really?
- that was a bit of an anticlimactic ending...

decent short experience, i liked the vibe even though the gameplay itself was questionable at parts (falling blocks... really...) - the music was probably the best part, although since you mentioned you used 'assets' from GIR i'm not sure if you made them or not... it's good practice to include a readme of some sort that outlines what you made and what specifically you used by others!

regardless, sans ballos getting stuck in the ceiling, i didn't encounter any bugs or issues... looking forward to seeing where you go in the future

I made the mod in like 4 days…? So I didn't really polish anything... Like at all. By the way, I tried to make the last part of the ballos fight really hard, so that's why there are falling blocks; as for the void part, I was trying to make the characters insult you. Also for the innerself part... That's kind of at the end; and even then there's never really any "self-thought" in the mod. If you're talking about the door, then that's just the zombie doctor speaking, but the reason the entity isn't there is because it looked really goofy if I put him there, but I probably will polish it later... Thanks for telling me what you think, though!

(You have to use Config.dat from somewhere else because I didn't include it but it still takes the mod still uses the file.)

ah, yeah, i realised it was the doctor later on, but like i said i was writing as i played so i didn't pick up on that at the time...

but also fair enough! my complaints aside, it's pretty solid for the circumstances it was made in, it reminds me of the modfest entries i used to make :]
