About This Game Sun Dogs is about exploring our inner solar system, altering your body, and embracing death. In a future where humanity alters itself without a second thought, you must do the same. Skim along the Sun's corona, float in the Venusian clouds, travel the Martian plains.When your body dies, your mind will be given a new one, and you will keep going.FeaturingExpansive and unique science fiction, across planets, moons, and space stationsDynamic text reacts to your character and actions Full modding system allowing additions or rewrites to the entire game a09c17d780 Title: Sun DogsGenre: Adventure, Casual, IndieDeveloper:Royal PolygonPublisher:Royal PolygonRelease Date: 29 Oct, 2015 Sun Dogs Usb Download Creative game with a Good name. sun dogs claims to be an interactive exploratory cyoa type of thing, which is exactly the kind of thing i love. problems: your only method of interaction with anything is to move between planets and "explore" them by clicking an explore button. despite the ad copy, this merely cycles between a list of text boxes. rarely, you will get an option to agree to something. there are exactly four mission lines, one of which is the tutorial. there is no goal, and there is nothing interesting to do. if all you want is to read some unconnected scraps of scifi text then maybe you'll like it but i wouldn't pay full price for it (though i did, of course, which makes me the idiot). SUMMARY: Regretfully, Sun Dogs is a brilliant idea that's well-written and beautifully minimalist, but doesn't hang together very well because of limited options and random events.It's hard for me to not reccomend Sun Dogs as the game is a fantastic idea that almost gets it right - a kind of nonlinear playable novel of a transhuman future, beautifully written, and obviously a labor of love. Had it been free or very cheap it may have been worth it, but as it stands it's not.The idea of Sun Dogs is that one wakes up in a "Sleeve" - an artificial body. This is a far future of mind copies, artificial bodies, cybernetics, and solar-system wide travel (and then some). You explore with simple point-and-click choices, finding items, unlocking information, and seeing sights. Over time you find missions or interesting objects.The world of Sun Dogs is extremely well fleshed out, from the Jovian war to a wasted but recovering earth, to an asteroid library. There's believable terminology and language, and little details in the story text that bring it to life. In fact, the minimalism of the game works in its favor - your brain is the graphics card and rendering engine.The problem with Sun Dogs is that it's largely a case of go somewhere, have events happen, hope you have the right tool\/skill to survive or change things, and go on. Your character has very little initiative, you just wait until things happen, including events that one would think is intentional (why can't I go look for cybernetic mods I used to have). This lack of control and randomness ultimately make the game hard to enjoy as games often end up as a case of clicking-and-hoping.Thus the core flaw of Sun Dogs is not the idea, the story, the graphics, but the choice of mechanics.If the developer is reading this, I truly applaud their hard work and brilliant writing. I think the game would be best with more choice and less randomness, perhaps with a "dictionary" that helps the character make choices as they uncover them.Though I do not reccomend this game, I, strangely, do not regret purchasing it - I took a chance and supported a good idea. I felt the implementation ultimately didn't work.I also want to note the developer is supportive on the forums, so though I critique the game, I applaud his dedication to his art and his engagement with people on the game.. Sun Dogs is, above all, an exploration game. Set in the future when humanity is able to copy your mind into different bodies upon your death, you explore the solar system, picking up skills and knick-knacks to help you explore further. The writing is great, incredibly descriptive and evocative of the setting, and with the ease at which new mods can be created is likely to only improve over time.However, it is worth saying that the actual gameplay elements of Sun Dogs are... limited. Most of the gameplay is choosing where to go, and then clicking around a bit for the flavour text and random encounters before moving on and hoping you don't get killed - die too often, and even the most rigourously updated backup will start to corrupt.Overall, I'd say that if you enjoy trans- or post-human settings like Eclipse Phase, this will probably be the closest you get to a game in that setting for a while, and for what it is, it is most certainly worth checking out.. The game is like a free roam, text-based adventure, where there is no storyline, few side quests and infinite combinations of collectibles. Excellent world building, but there isn't much to do in the world.. A great game for curious people, one of my favorite text games.. sun dogs claims to be an interactive exploratory cyoa type of thing, which is exactly the kind of thing i love. problems: your only method of interaction with anything is to move between planets and "explore" them by clicking an explore button. despite the ad copy, this merely cycles between a list of text boxes. rarely, you will get an option to agree to something. there are exactly four mission lines, one of which is the tutorial. there is no goal, and there is nothing interesting to do. if all you want is to read some unconnected scraps of scifi text then maybe you'll like it but i wouldn't pay full price for it (though i did, of course, which makes me the idiot).
