I saw your game in Errand Signals video and I love the way you used typography here. I experimented a bit with placing text in world space before and liked the general idea, but am still unsure if it is viable. But the way you used it here is very nice. It stays subtle, well readable, but still gives a bit of spice to the text. Love that. When I saw the first ligatures an working font kerning my first hunch was, probably a Godot game. I love that they got font support working so well (scornful look at Unity and Unreal). I also love the visual style of the characters, lighting, and dithering. Really cool and inspiring.

A very original and entertaining game, I really liked it, friend, I want you to subscribe to my YouTube channel please, greetings from Spain!!

Hello! I'm Joel, a writer for GameDeveloper.com. We're interested in doing an interview with you about Arctic Eggs for the site. If that's something you'd be interested in doing, can you contact me at joel.indiegames at gmail?

Thanks!

Hey! I got your email about the interview, but I keep getting an Address Not Found error when I try to reply back (which is...kinda weird). Any chance you have another email you can reach me at? Or want to connect over Discord (joelcouture) or Twitter (@Joel_Couture) or something? 

Oh shoot, sorry about that. I just shot you a friend request on discord (keven) and dropped a follow on twitter! Let me know if those are working

Hi The Water Museum. I have just emailed you with an interesting biz proposal with regards to Arctic Eggs, from Feardemic. I am not sure you have well received it, mails sometimes go to spam etc. Would that be possible for you to check you mailbox? Thank you so much.

Just responded

This game is very good text.In particuler, the Flamingo story was  the best.It has staied my mind.

I cant play the game just black screen there are chicken sounds in the background.

Man what a fantastic game, the mood was set pretty well with how weird everyone was around you.


The gameplay (for me) needs 500% mouse sensibility for 800 dpi, I had to use all my mousepad to play this lol

saw that you fixed the mouse sensitivity and gave it another shot. very very cool. saw that you added it on steam too, cant wait to play the full version

Really nice atmosphere fun gameplay and great music.

Only complaint is the mouse sensitivity is way to low even on max

Holy cow I really enjoy this - the vibe is so good

Just downloaded the game today and super excited to play, but any time i click on the application it just shows a black screen and then quits out. Anybody else had this problem?

oh shoot, I haven’t seen anyone else with this problem yet. mind giving me a few more details? Like what OS you are using and some specs 

Thanks for the reply! I am running windows 10 and i have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz  with 16 gigs of RAM (sorry if that's more information than needed)

hey! definitely curious about your contribution to the jam, and i've been doing developer interviews on my stream while i give them full playthroughs. would you be interested in joining mine? :]

What a fun game that combines a strange worldview with the fun of cooking eggs!

I was quite surprised when I cooked them together to add tobacco flavor.

At first I thought how difficult it was to flip the eggs, but once I got used to it, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I could flip only the one I was aiming for, even if there were multiple eggs on the pan.

The atmosphere and music alone are amazing, never thought an icy-blizzardy-shithole sky could be portrayed in such a way, the weird inhabitants are really fun to listen to.

It really makes me want to see more of this setting and concept (i know it's just a one time deal but still, really nice)

just letting you know the game doesn't download for some reason, but can't wait to try it!

Thats odd... First instance of this, can you give me some more info? Like are you on windows? and what browser are you trying to download from?

it won't download on the itch app at least, think that requires some specific setup to work. browser download works fine

yeah I'm on windows on the itch app. it's downloading just fine now tho

nice

Hi, May I ask if there are any conditions or agreements that would allow us to post, stream and monetizing the videos for your game ArcticEggs ?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Of course you can! But you have to eat an egg for every dollar you make

Outstanding!  I immediately went and fried two eggs after playing.

Great way to start a sunday morning, an absolute vibe.

 I wish my life was as simple as the poultry prepper. 

I think I have a time-lapse I need to go work on.

gonna wait for the post-jam update because i'm also unfortunately having some trouble with mouse sensitivity :( even setting it to max value inside the os doesn't really help

from what little i played so far this looks incredible though. feels like a bootleg cosmo d game ran through jpeg compression, and i'm 100% into that

you guys are awesome :)

Sorry to hear about the mouse sensitivity thing again. Will fix it as soon as I am able. But yes! Cosmo Ds Off-Peak was one of my biggest inspirations for this game

thank you for creating this masterpiece :) its wonderful

truly.

this is awesome!

pls allow us to watch the meat rotting timelapse in the update

Hello, I really like the game idea and the set up, but is it normal if I can't perform sick ass egg frying moves as in the trailer? despite scrolling to move the character hand on the pan handle, le pan movements are quite slow and tedius. And is it normal if the character camera movements are kind of slow too?

Shoot I am really sorry about that.  Your default mouse sensitivity must be on the lower side if you are still having issues flipping even with the hand choked all the way up the handle. You could technically change it in your system setting, but really I should've added an in-game mouse sensitivity slider so again I apologize. I will be sure to once the game jam ends and I can upload new builds.

Thx for the suprafast reply, u don't have to be sorry, the game just came out and it's free, I'll just change the mouse sensi in my settings as you said.
: -)

My mouse sensi was at mid. I

've put it to the max, it's a bit better but not super duper, maybe I am just not a good pan wielder? Guess I'll just wait to see a gameplay video just to compare with my experience and see if it's just me cherry picking and not understanding how to play the game correctly or not.

(I can send you a video just for you to see if you want).

I'll wait for your post-jam update.


best regards, have a nice day.
