Got a Demo in the Next Fest? Share it below! I’ve got my week cleared out and would love to find some new gems to showcase/look forward to!

If you’re launching soon after the Next Fest, send me an email so I can check out that version!

Block me if you use generative AI though. I won’t cover it.

To me.. it feels more like they just dont trust either the player or their own toolset. Its a shame. Anyway. Maybe ill get further than a few hours in this time

But the biggest problem with thief 4 is see is choice. The levels are designed around 1 or 2 choices forward at a time.. both leading the same way. Theres choice illusion but not actual freedom. Level designers think they are making a curated but empowering experience when they do this. They arent.

Back when I made tog, my due date was "before thief 4 ships".. i was so excited for this game. And to date ive never made it more than about 4 hours in. And I suffered through all of thief 3 (sorry folks, but its just not anywhere near 1/2).

It DOES do some interesting things.. like the smart screen flash when you become visible.. that are smart.. but there are so many missteps. Confusing-yet-oddly-linear level design, zero-sum nav choices, movement logic and anims directly borrowed from assasins creed, the stupid zoom in button..
