SOOZ'S PROFILE

For me, I think a great motivation is more story. Not so much in terms of cutscenes, but getting things like clues, or extra info about backstory or worldbuilding. Things that help fill in the world or cast things in a new and neat light.

One thing that I think helps motivate a player in any game is to sort of trick them into thinking they're figuring things out. Rather than laying it all out in front of the player with exposition (whether in story or in gameplay), use hints and veiled references. The internal reward for figuring it out "on one's own" is great motivation, and people tend to be more invested in something when they've already put a lot of work and time in it. Being able to puzzle out a mystery is probably one of the stronger motivations for storygame types. (Heck, that's why so many people get mad about spoilers!)

And, this is definitely among the top two entries for the contest that I've played so far. Though, that may not be saying much since every entry that I've completed I've also reviewed at this point as well. And, that list is only comprised of eight entries so far.

First of eight is pretty good, IMO! :D Thank you greatly for your time and review!

Thanks for the lovely post! :D

I think I'm the only team member on the tumblr. Unity had one years ago, but it didn't last long. She's p. bad at social media. -_^

The main problem with the yellow floor is that it's way too high contrast. If you can darken it up a few shades (closer to the value of the brown) it'll be a lot less painful.
