Villa's Blinds Reviews

I find it very boring, scores are slow to show. Stick with Game Dev Tycoon, that is my opinion.

It's telling the adventure of a game developer. It's a great game for those who want to be a developer. I suggest everyone

Right now there is nothing new in this game, as its pretty much the same as other game dev tycoon games Ive tried, except its in full 3D instead. The game itself is about developing games, publish them, get ratings and collect the money for the sales. Development works like every other game in the genre, you choose from a series of options on what type of game you wanna make, then you select the level of complexity in various areas like, sound, visuals etc etc etc (theres a quite a few of those) and ofc all your choices affects development costs. Theres the element in this title however, that you need to buy food and beverages to survive and you also need to clean yourself aso, so there're grounds for some life simulation as well. All in all Id say the game seems promising, but its concerning that there hasnt been any update in over 2 months, so I ended up claimning a refund and ill re-buy if the game gets picked up and finished later on. Developer Barkin replied to a thread in the discussions section and pointed out some facts about the work theyre doing and how things are coming along, so as the game sits right now, Id say buy it if you wanna support development.

The game is certainly good, but it lacks a little variety. And ye, "good" translation into Russian, still better to play in English..

fun game, grate support and a bit worrying in that if you leave to go to the bathroom or something you'll get hungry and the food will disappear because of the "other members" I wish hunger thirst and food depletion was based on movement or interface actions. also it looks like a horror game but I have seen worse simulators that didn't intend to look like a horror game. I also wish I could just click once for instant ratings in the mailbox. This could also use a ferinhight mesherment system instead of celceis, or kalven for all I know with out a degree.This game could use commas every 3 #s and commas instead of dots. This game could use better spelling, grammar and syntax.

Well, I think the game has potential, but it's a bit rough at the moment. There are many games in a similar kind of genre, and most go for a top-down managerial approach for a reason, this kind of game doesn't really lend to an FPS particularly well, unless the idea is immersion. Further to that, the game is poorly optimised for ultra-wide screens, on my 21:9 display it initially attempts to stretch 1920*1080, causing the UI to be cut off. This can be worked around however by setting the resolution again, at which point I get black bars on either side, which is fine, but not ideal. The game is also slow, and forces you to wait unnecessarily long periods of time. Making me sit through a good couple of minutes whilst the camera drags me round the neighbourhood at a snails pace to describe the locations is frustrating, as is the glacial pace at which review scores are presented. Overall it makes the early experience particularly tedious and not especially enjoyable. Hopefully, given it's early access some of this will be improved.

Awesome game. So relaxing and very addictive. Would totally recommend. I am doing a playthrough on my youtube if you wanted to check it out before playing. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGLrWz71Ykc93OhYiLO4-OA/featured

Seems like the devs abandon this game after the official release. With that in mind the game still feels incomplete and very very janky

Update: (Today is 6 Jan 2023) They've stopped working on this game and it is now just going to be as is. It's still a cute and fun little indie game. BUT I must recommend you wait for a sale. As it is, it feels unfinished and could've used some tune ups and add-ons. With that in mind, I still find this title to be a great buy for some relaxing fun. It's unique and it's got a few in-game goals that keep it interesting. My Guide below may help you get more of an idea. It's loaded with images and discussion. [hr] Kinda fun game. Problem aside from having to walk everywhere is that they don't seem to be doing anything else with it. Why not? It sort of feels unfinished. I do enjoy it though. Some aspects of it are really cool (stats on the walls) It has so much potential to be one of the best. Got mine on sale. Love Sales. Please read the other reviews. Thanks ^.^ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2583598387 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2645208537 EDIT: For those new, I tried to put something together to give a feel for what the game is like. I'm not a good Guide creator but there's something since there was nothing there before. There's a lot of Screenshots and some tips. :) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2581687934

Updated Review: I will leave this as "recommended" though development has finished and the game remains rather bare and short. I do not recommend at $15 but maybe on sale as the game is rather short before you have exhausted the content. The development was not as ambitious as I'd hoped but that's ok. It was a cool idea and a decent effort for a small and young dev crew doing their first game. but maybe expect 3-5 hours before you've seen pretty much everything. Old Review: Villa's Blinds is a game development tycoon style game where you can live in the game world. It is a little bare right now but there are some fun twists that you don't get in any other similar games. You start out in a shabby garage with old hardware so the UI may look ugly at first but if you keep playing, that will improve. It is interesting they chose 2005 as a time period. You don't see a lot of games set in this era and I like that There are things to do besides making games like cleaning, eating, drinking, decorating your space. some fun little mini games. Once you move out of the garage you can join a crew. I particularly liked just chilling out by the fire with them even though they dont say much yet. Very impressive for a fledgling Turkish studio making their first game. I'm recommending the purchase because it is pretty fun right now even in early access with a few janky spots but I see a lot of potential as something between a life-sim and game dev tycoon. I hope more support the developers because I think it is interesting and a little different. What is here already is fun though it is a little short for now. But you can clearly see what they are going for and how fun it could be when they add more to it. not too glitchy [strike]but you should manually save often as there is no auto-save (yet?)[/strike] there is now auto-save
