Days 1-3 - Customization and Tutorial

Hey guys, GreyedWings here. I’m here to give an update on where I’m at in Exclamania. The first two days were spent customizing my character. There are seemingly infinite options, to the point where you can make early angels, living objects of any object imaginable, and even species from really obscure things, like Sun Crawlers from Project Blackout, a literal fangame for a different game.

I also saw the customization did have some bugs, like for some reason having all the textures turn into lobsters at one point, forcing me to reload the game, but it’s a minimal issue.

For my avatar, I decided to go with something you don’t see when you get bird avatars in games, turkey vultures. I went for a basic one, as living in the rural midwest makes you see those a lot on the road.

As for the tutorial, it’s longer than I’d expect a tutorial to be, but it showed off a lot of key features listed on the steam page, and the controls for the creature I chose. I think I saw a horse clipping into the ground during the tutorial. It was honestly funny, because I think a player placed down a sign saying “To the Plinko with you!” in front of the horse.

Speaking of that, players that are newer apparently opt to use signs rather than voice chat or the in-game text feature, but people who played for longer use voice chat primarily, which is odd, but I’ll take it. I think there’s a bug with the time players have been on, because I’ve seen people who have played for 1 year straight, which the game wasn’t even in open access then.

Either way, it’s still cool to see this game, I think I need to thank the devs at some point.

Introduction

Hello! You may know me as Greyedwings, who reviews games sometimes. Truly, I am in for a new unique experience with a game I learned existed. It’s apparently in beta, and is pretty cool for many reasons. As I just got the game yesterday night, I kind of passed out when it was downloading and never got to play it until this morning, which I hope to liveblog the experience with everyone else.

As well, I’ve heard interesting stories and myths about people’s experiences with the game. I wonder if anything will go on with my game. As I type this out, the game is loading for the first time, and assets are being loaded in. I feel I should give the general specifications I chose for my game in specific.

Platform and Version - Windows 10, Using Steam

Graphics settings - Medium, PC won’t run well on high

Any Added Accessories - May pull out my VR Headset at some point due to the compatibility. I use an Oculus Quest 2.

Anyways, I cannot wait to play.
