Hidden Magic Town

Ban this dev.

Sadly this game still has issues with functionality for the player. 1. The items are not clear in the Clue box on some occasions being a very dark image on the black background of the item to find box. 2. It is never clear how many of each item you are expected to find. 3. My game also suddenly became a black screen which could only be reset by using the positional drop down box. This also reset my coins. 4. The positional drop down box only ever centred the map and did not show you the closest player or item. 5. Most "hidden" objects are badly hidden or not really hidden at all just camouflaged by the background colours they reside upon. (A whole house is hardly a hidden object) All in all I would advise any gamer not to waste their money on what has to be the worst HOG ever to emerge. My advise to the Devs are to take a long look at the issues with this game and either patch it of make it free to play because it is certainly not in a state that gives any value for the cost.

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Hidden Magic Town is an asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated someone else's example/template/tutorial game, changed the name/reskinned a couple of things, and submitted it to Valve as if it was their own game.[/quote] This time Hede stole a basic isometric tileset asset pack and slapped it on a basic point and click "find the objects" game blueprint... there's only about 30 odd clicks to finish the whole "game". It's just another asset flip scam from a Russian asset flip scammer. Hede/Hede Games have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1306160]Get Over Blood[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/historic/the-big-castle-kit-75818]The Big Castle Kit[/url] developed by Triplebrick [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1915910]Hidden Build Top-Down 3D[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.un…

Hidden Magic Town, developed by Hede and HEDE Game Engine and published by Hede, is a casual hidden-object puzzle game that centers on careful observation and visual exploration within a colorful fantasy setting. Designed as a simple and accessible experience, the game invites players to examine a detailed map of a magical town and locate objects hidden throughout the environment. Rather than focusing on story progression, character development, or elaborate puzzle mechanics, the experience is built around the straightforward challenge of spotting cleverly concealed items scattered across the scenery. The main gameplay loop revolves around searching for specific objects embedded within the environment. Players are presented with a large illustrated map depicting a whimsical town filled with buildings, paths, decorations, and small environmental details. Somewhere within this detailed landscape are a variety of hidden items that must be located and clicked in order to progress. Each object is placed within the scenery in a way that allows it to blend naturally with the surrounding elements, making it necessary for players to examine the scene carefully and methodically. Unlike man…

The game itself was alright, since its fairly cheap in the bundle (though I suspect the prices were raised just so that they could mark them as 98-99% off), but its mid-tier fantasy I-Spy. The achievements in all of these dev's games seem to automatically pop up after less than 10 minutes regardless of actual progress, which doesn't really make me want to actually play the games, and even though all of the achievements show as completed in my library, they don't seem to actually count towards my Steam achievement count or my average completion rate. Is ok if you just really like simple hidden object games, but not really worth the $40 i spent on the two bundles.
