About 孤独之旅 Lonely journey

This is a 2d side-scrolling game similar to (Ori and the Blind Forest) and (Hollow Knight), embark on an adventure in this fantasy land, collect key items, buy powerful equipment, gather pets to fight together, 100+ elves will participate in the battle, and 30+ costumes to help in the battle

In the second half of '19, I quit my job as an indie game developer.

Since graduation, I have used JS, JAVA, RUBY, etc., W7, W8, W10, Linux, etc. for PC, Apple, Android, and even Windows Phone for mobile phones, and Eclipse, VS, VSCode for coding, etc.

I once heard that "Zelda is the first in the world", the most played is LOL, I have bought a switch, most of the well-rated games in the steam warehouse are not developed by Chinese, and most of the national games have been scolded very badly, and the krypton is serious.

At that time, I was thinking about why we couldn't develop our own programming language and be at the forefront of the world, why most games only wanted to change kryptonite and were scolded for being garbage, why we didn't have our own operating system.

It happened that the Taiwu picture scroll came out before, and it received a lot of praise, and I realized that it was not that it could not be done, but that no one could do it, and as long as I worked hard to do it, I would definitely be able to do it.

So, I decided to quit my job and develop games on my own, and as a game enthusiast and programmer, I felt that I could make a game.

After resigning,Learn Unity and C# from 0,Start making games,4 years have passed in a flash.,In these 4 years, except for their own personal affairs.,A total of 2 years of time spent in the game.,In March 2024,Forced to helplessly,In the case of immaturity, the game will be launched directly.。

> was born, it was my debut novel, and its name was like this development experience, and when the game went live, I knew that my mission was accomplished, and I died without regrets.

It has a lot of bugs and problems, but because it costs $2, there are almost no sales, so there are no reviews, and there are no problems that can be found.

In May, I started working and continue to update the game's map, because I wanted more people to play the game, and I made it free later.

After the free, there were more people playing, and there were more real reviews, all in red, and there were overwhelming negative reviews.

I'm grateful for the bad reviews from some of these players, who will give a detailed description of what went wrong, and even send me a game log to my mailbox, and I've fixed a lot of bugs.

Did I fail, I was a failure, a super failure, and a bunch of bad reviews and no recommendations made me ashamed to mention this game to others.
Did I succeed, I succeeded, the moment the game hit the shelves, I knew, I succeeded, I succeeded in making this game.

The first promotional video was on station b, and the happiest thing was that I found that there were several up who were also doing independent game development, and I was very touched at the time, I was not alone, there are many people who are doing the same thing towards the same goal as me, they are the heroes in my heart, even if I fall, there will be more people who will stand up,.

I firmly believe that everyone can do well as long as they play to their strengths and concentrate on doing things.

I firmly believe that at this moment, there must be someone developing China++, China system, China mobie system, and their success will surely build the cornerstone of China's strength.
I firmly believe that we will have our own computer system, mobile phone system, programming language, and the games developed by Chinese people in the future will be full of creativity, and it will no longer be a bunch of bad reviews.

I have never regretted my choice, like a martyr, even though he is still alive.

Lonely Journey is a horrible game. One of the worst I have ever played. It feels unfinished, poorly designed, and just not fun at any point. The gameplay is dull, the pacing is off, and there’s very little here that makes you want to keep going. Instead of feeling like a “journey,” it just feels tedious and frustrating.

I sat staring at my screen completely dumbfounded for five straight minutes. Looking at the store history, this used to be an entirely different game I never got to play, and trading whatever that was for this mess makes no sense at all. Now it’s just a barrage of Dumb Ways to Die style minigames with no goal in sight, where you get virtually no time to do anything, have zero clue what the controls are, and the clock just runs out with zero feedback while you frantically guess where to tap.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Consider this only a positive review for the original version. The new version killed this game. It was a great game. i don't know why you changed it. It's still not terrible, but it's much lesser than it was. The original was fine, there was no need to break it. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] "孤独之旅 Lonely journey" is one of literally thousands of creatively bankrupt asset flips/kitbashes infesting Steam and lowering the average quality of all video games everywhere.[/quote] The Chinese developer behind this junkware delusionally compares it to Ori and Hollow Knight... but this is not even in the same ballpark. It's a bunch of 2D sprites the developer ripped off from some real asset creator, slapped onto a basic barebones Unity platformer game template. Worse, this was a paid product, so this is a case of a shady dev trying to get YOUR money for other people's game assets. So, "孤独之旅 Lonely journey" is partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Little, if anything in this game is the creation of the "developer". There is no price tag, but you get what you pay for. When developers can't do their job properly and instead plagiarise the work of others, usually they also lack the technical skills to handle coding, optimization, or game design, or any of the other things real, competent game developers do.

The game looks like a cheap copy of Ori/Hollow Knight.

The game is unfinished. I was in a bottomless pit the first few minutes. The generic font makes it look cheap unfortunately. The UI text is white which blends in with white backgrounds. Attacking in the air stops your momentum and you drop straight down which sucks when you're trying to hit enemies. It definitely has potential. The long weepy "about" from the dev is unnecessary. You know you didnt finish, bro. This is chabuduo work. Finish it so you can have something cool to be proud of and show people. You're almost there.
