How was your Vorax experience?

Share with us all of your thoughts, ideas, feedback, pictures, videos, gripes, memories, feelings, sorrows, pain, happiness...everything...
I'm aware that this a very early version and still needs work to do, but It has potential and I like what you did with Die Young.

Details:
  • can't break glass inside shower
  • I want to be able to use M4 with single-fire not only burst
  • add a HUD which shows health / stamina inside inventory too
  • add more animations
  • maybe gets dark too fast, but considering it's a horror game it should be like that
  • add more items to craft
  • It's annoying you can't save only like 2 times then you won't be able to use the bed to save the game ( might be bug )
  • it would be great if the monster inside house with multiple hands would be able to grab you if you go to close near him or hit you


Bugs:
  • when loading a save utility helmet doesn't show details like before and highlight items (HUD)
  • sometimes zombies don't follow you below in the basement and act weird / or when on stairs they also stop then wait a bit and later come and attack
  • the underground babies do not attack / some wild animals like boars don't attack or just 1 of them eg when seeing 2
  • the dogs are unaware of you even if you stand very close to them.

The game seem to work fine considering it's early stage, some stuttering, but nothing that's not unplayable and seem to be pretty rare.
Will add more overtime

The atmosphere and the sound is impressive. It's nice that the weather changes as well. At night you can even see the stars when it's not cloudy. In the house it took me a few attempts until I understood that you have to attack the eyes in the walls. The man behind the door didn't come out at 6h, after I burned the monster. I'm not sure if it just doesn't go on in the alpha or I forgot something.

I noticed the following bugs when I first played:
With the controls, I noticed that you can't select items (TAB+mouse click).

Suggestions for improvement:
With the monsters, the bullets sometimes seem to go nowhere or into an invisible barrier. This happens especially when these zombies are close to the door frame. It is also difficult to hit the zombies behind the barricade. Maybe this can be optimized.

It would be nice if you could cancel actions with the ESC key. If I'm exploring the lockers and suddenly hear a zombie I press the esc key out of habit, but it only takes me to the start menu :)

Even with these little issues, it's already a lot of fun to play the game and explore the area. Thank you for letting us play the game at this stage :)

Exactly what I've been thinking about because I always tend to press esc too. Good point!

Some feedback for your game

Pro's
-Atmosphere (game has very tense and eerie feeling to it )
-The crafting system seems accessible
- Overall , the game reminds me of single player Dayz
- Its well made with few gripes

Con's
- Day last too short for me imo , and the nights are pitch black, maybe just a little bit brighter
- Enemy feedback : by this I mean that when I shoot at enemies they lack that certain feedback . Its like I am firing water ballons at them .
- Too hard maybe ? I'm going to leave a question mark this , because game being too hard can be atributed to my lack of skills

I think you can be satisfied with your product in the end . I wish you all the best .
Who knows , it might just be best game you created so far .
