LIFE Teaser (Lighthearted Survival & Exploration game ) - General

[video=youtube;uZVGl8Ff7Bs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZVGl8Ff7Bs[/video] LIFE is a game about exploration and survival in a almost-magical world thats shaped by your actions either by being destructive or pacifist towards it. LIFE Puts a huge focus on exploration and taking your time to appreciate and discover what the world has to tell you while also adding survival elements that will force you to make use of what the world gives you to survive LIFE is also a collaboration between the facepunchers:hippowombat, nitronikALT and myself

The artstyle is certainly very nice. The painted feel and bright colors work very nicely. Only issue is that there's too much green, it seems to need more random splashes of blue, pink, yellow, etcetc. There are already flowers but, I think they need to be grouped together in huge bushes of color so they really pop out and give it a very painted look. Random mushrooms (Bright tomato) and moss everywhere, vines maybe to make it a little bit more colorful would also work well. Basically: More color. Just splash it on like Bob Ross on a painting rampage.

Thanks!, thats exactly the type of feedback we are looking for, after working on this for so long i kinda feel "numb" towards the artstyle so it gets hard to tell when there is a correct balance of colors

Looks very nice, I agree with what J!NX said though theirs quite a lot of green. If it's fitting to the aim of the game add some signs of bug life as well such as butterfly's, bees etc to help with adding color and peaceful atmosphere as I get a peaceful vibe from the trailer. Perhaps also add other little effects across the screen like loose leaves blowing off trees carried by the wind. Edit: no pun intended with the life thing.

I love the green

It looks beautiful. I really like how it captures the everyday beauty of life, big fluffy clouds, a green meadow, etc. It seems like a lot of game miss out on those types of things even though they are oftentimes the most striking.

Looks good, needs more pants

I have some gameplay ideas, paypal $1000 to me and we'll talk

Looks good! It has to have things to discover and stuff to do though Would be shame if it turned to be another Proteus, while gorgeus, contains no incentive to get me to play the game.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;49954039]I have some gameplay ideas, paypal $1000 to me and we'll talk[/QUOTE] what about cash? [QUOTE=Talishmar;49954108]Looks good! It has to have things to discover and stuff to do though Would be shame if it turned to be another Proteus, while gorgeus, contains no incentive to get me to play the game.[/QUOTE] lots of things not shown***, but the tree-cutting bit you saw in the teaser plays a good part in the Survival portion of the game!

Visiting a place of awe changes the world arround you (positively) one way or another As the player you are free to do as you wish, you can spend your days building a cozy home, living off fishing and ensuring your survival.. but you can also explore this living and breathing world arround you, see what else it has to offer
