About Me


I am a individual who is trying to achieve their dreams, and I have successfully achieved one out of many. I have always wanted to make video games ever since I was a kid, but during that time you had to either work at; a AAA studio or be a very smart, and skilled person in order to make games. As technology advanced and still does to this day everyone around the world has made things to help with the lack of knowledge on how to either: Programming, 3D Modeling, Sound Effects, and etc! This doesn't mean me as a game developer is using this as a clutch to make games, but rather a jump start on my adventure to become better at this, and be more skilled in the near future.

✦ AI summary

Nightly Trash is a short indie game with decent atmosphere that shows promise for a debut project, but players find it limited by minimal interactivity, unclear objectives, and repetitive gameplay that consists mainly of taking out trash multiple times. While some appreciate it as a small indie effort, most feel there is too little content and wish for more variety, additional tasks, or clearer guidance on what to do.

taking the trash out is like taking the trash out

Soooo, where do I start? This game has a lot of potential and considering it's the dev's first game, it's a very solid one! The atmosphere was actually pretty good. Soooo, what were the letdowns? Firstly, the lack of interactivity. Making us only the trash out is a bit disappointing, considering there were other tasks that have already been marked as done - we could have been the ones doing them. [spoiler] Furthermore, there's also the lack of a minimal threat, not even someone hiding around the corner or some ♥♥♥♥ like that. And I get why the developer made that choice: it fuels the paranoia as in it looks like nothing is happening, so we start think something will happen soon. [/spoiler] Lastly, picking up items felt a bit weird to me. Like, i was clicking several times on the trash bag and it just would not pick it up, same with clicking on the door. I don't know if this was an issue on my end or not, hard to tell. All things considering - plus the fact the game is now free - i absolutely recommend. looking forward to this dev's next games!

Overall a good game, Doesn't have clear indicators of what you need to do, even if it says up in the upper left what it wants you to do. No flash of light signifying, or no clear objective. Got stuck on an item once in the sewer.
