Amazing game. Great Soundtracks! Tutorial? Genuinely one of the worst I've seen in a game. Don't get me wrong, it's thorough but it's written like the target audience is already fluent in programming, with zero acknowledgement that most people buying a programming game are new to programming. Instead of plain language, it drops you straight into the deep end with jargon from step one. It got to the point where reading the solution code was faster than reading the tutorial explaning it. I had to use the code to translate the explanation of the tutorial, that should tell you how absurd it is. To the dev, this is a game, not a university lecture. Fix the onboarding. Edit: After some more hours and having given up on the tutorial altogether and actually playing the game i feel the game is as a tutorial should have been and the tutorial is the actual game lol. I learned more from the game than the tutorial. Now as for the game itself. very well done, how everything works, the UI is crisp and intuitive, windows work as they should. Now my critic is mainly thematic. It is a shame there are no stakes to the game really which i find it to be a major missed opportunity. Time and resource constraints are motivating. I understand the falling back to a no stakes due to the nature of the game and possible audience, however that balance between insentive and difficulty (through urgency) could have been easily managed through difficulty settings and thus leaving it up to the players to set according to their own pace. In short i was expecting it to be a bit of a survival game where learning and deploying that knowledge would be rewarded with surviving yet another day and later down the path, thrive. I understand that that is asking for to much, rewritting the game to include survival mechanics but it is my take on what my expectations were.
I know the AI use disclaimer has everybody's hackles up, and for good reason in a world innundated by slop, so let me break down how the AI has been used here and to what effect. This is the only example I know of in the gaming industry where AI content is used appropriately: to fill small and otherwise inconsequential details. The most notable AI contributions here is the voice acting, the music, and the menu layouts of the UI, all of which are accounted for in the disclaimer. Voice acting is rare in the game, functioning to fill in some of the lore aspects that are going on in the background on good ol' planet Earth. Again, pretty inconsequential to the gameplay on a whole. The menu layout definately is a pretty cut and dry default template. You won't find any glitzy UI here, but that's pretty typical for a game in the programming genre, where the spartan visuals contribute to the industrial software vibes. Using an AI to help organize and clean up an already minimalist style menu doesn't take away human content, since there was little there to begin with. A possible remedy for those who are particularly complainitive might be to add an unlockable feature where the user has the opportunity to code to customize the menu layouts (ex. coloiur schemes, font, maybe moving modules to custom categories). One of the most popular uses of coding today is to tailor UI to make it both functional and visually appealing, no? As for the music, it's definately a generic generated house mix. I'm not going to give points for the sound track here. Listen to it or not, it's your decision. The mute button can be found in the lower right corner, in case you're having trouble locating it. Now for the meat of the game: the coding aspects. No AI contribution here as far as I can see. The helpful manual in the DOCS too darn thorough and comprehensive to be written by an LLM. The optional coding puzzles are likewise too coherent to be designed by an AI slop generator. That takes a considerable amount of human effort, which ought to be recognized appropriately. In short, I recommend this game because of good quality content where it matters. TLDR; The heart of the game is all the coding and instruction aspects, which are human made and well made too. All AI generated content can be found in menu organization or else aeesthetic elements that are off to the side and do not affect gameplay. This game is the only example I know of that uses gen AI without using slop. Worth a buy.
Very much a game for coders, not a 'learn to code' game. The tutorial is very minimal, and the game expects you to learn yourself from reading the documentation and trial and error. I haven't written python in a quite a few years and its taking me a bit to get back up to speed with it, but i'm liking what I'm seeing of it so far. Be sure to try the demo before you purchase it though, as again, The learning curve is steep and it doesn't really hold your hand though the game.
To get the obvious out of the way first: The one responsible for the background music choice should be given an Oscar. Then about the game itself: Best one by far in its genre. (code games - this one is based on python) That said, getting started does takes a bit of a steep curve... As a developer I know what I am supposed to look for. As a newbe... you might get lost easily in an interface that's... well, it certainly is not bad, but it needs getting used to. Once it clicks (every machine it's own script) it actually becomes a very elegant solution. Have not played that much, (played the demo for some hours) and I might not even play the full game that much because I'm not exactly new to development. Bought the full game anyway to support the devs. But if you are new to this stuff, and want to learn a thing or two about software development in a fun way. My advice: sink your teeth into this one. It will be worth it.
Great game! Found the demo by accident and gave it a try! Spent over 30 hours playing the demo and now I'm looking forward to more! Can definitely recommend if you like programming games. Python is a nice touch! I love all the puzzles and I look forward to the mechanics that were not available in the demo.
