ProtoMasons Reviews

Tried this game out cause I saw it and me and a friend decided to buy it to try it out. Needless to say we bought it even though the price seemed sketchy (sorta high) and we had the mindset if we didn't like it we'd just refund it. I understand it's early access, however aside from that, I'm reviewing it for it's current pricetag and promises. Pros: You can build with friends IF you get a server to work. There is a tutorial to teach you stuff. Game seems relatively easy to pick up. Cons: Buggy/Somewhat complicated building. Crashes. (Twice in 50 minutes of gameplay) Lots of issues with dialogue specifically, including clipped out text and dialogue. Server issues (not being able to connect to some) Server issues (sometimes not able to see friends - this should be added as extra cause it's just as bad) Not at all worth the price of what it currently is, and shouldn't be this high in the first place seeing as how it's not booming in popularity or anything. So yeah, atm it's probably worth like 5 dollars with all of it's current content.

Hey, I'm here to rewrite my review. I had to summarize things because it was late at night for me and I needed to get some sleep for my college exams the next day. This game isn't bad. I'm actually impressed with the work in this game for only having 1 main developer. So I'll be going more into detail about what I liked, disliked and somethings that I think should be worked on. --- Some of the things I really enjoyed are... 1) The mining minigame was pretty fun and enjoyable. I can tell you put a lot of thought into it. And props to you on adding an anti-afk feature. 2) The user-created marketing feature is great but a tad bit confusing. I couldn't find out how to sell my own things on the market even after creating my own business. 3) The amount of interaction in this game was very enlightening. Being able to walk up to a piano, television or chair and being able to either play it, turn it on or sit on it. --- Some of the things I disliked are... 1) The music in this game sounds kind of child-like and repetitive as if someone is constantly playing the xylophone around me. A game like this should try to have music that you can listen to without growing tired of it or getting annoyed by it. 2) The sound in the game whenever text is being written is too loud and clunky. I found myself trying to skip through all the text sound by holding space because I disliked the sound that much. 3) I fealt like I had no purpose in the game after about 20-30 minutes. From what I could tell, There were no real goals that I had in mind that I could work towards completing. Hopefully as time goes by however, Your future content that you add will change this. --- Some of the things I think should be worked on are... 1) The UI in this game isn't very stream-lined and consistent with a theme. The colors and fonts seem varied. 2) While trying to play with my friend on his server, my own server or your own server (Jargoon), We couldn't see each other and there was some consistent latency across the board. But I can't really blame you for that. 3) I crashed about 3 times in the hour that I played. I can't tell you exactly what the error was off the top of my head because it's been a couple days. So I apologize for not being able to help you identify this problem. --- To summarize my experience, This game is fun however its small and partially buggy. I don't think a game like this should be worth $14.99 USD in it's current state especially since it's a new release, early-access game with little to no players online. You could compare the price of this game to something like Garry's Mod which is 2/3rds the price with a stable client with more content and a larger playerbase. I would probably buy and keep this game if it was $4.99. I hope the information I've provided assists you in your development of this game.
