Random Access Matrix Demo


Hello there.

It's here, Random Access Matrix has a playable demo!  https://jimlad42.itch.io/random-access-matrix

It's by no means perfect, but it should give a solid showcase of what the core gameplay of this will be like, and give enough of a framework that you can properly critique it and say what's good or bad about it.

In case you were unclear, RAM is a Metroidvania with a built-in randomizer, set inside a computer where you're an anti-virus trying to clean out this computer which has been taken over by a very unusual virus.  

In this version I have 2 main areas, each with a different boss and different item gates throughout.  You load up each area into the same section of space, inside the same section of RAM, and explore them to access new items, and unlock new powers.  Some are permanent upgrades, some need to be placed in sections of permanent memory to be used.

From here, I have a choice I'll make around new years.  I can either focus on RAM, expanding it, adding new areas and upgrades, and cleaning things up.

Or I can ditch RAM and focus on Elemental Rancher instead, https://jimlad42.itch.io/elemental-rancher a project I worked on a while ago that still appeals to me, even more so as I gather more assets from Epic giveaways.

The reason for the rest is mostly so I can ask you guys which you'd prefer.  Try out both Elemental Rancher, and RAM, and give me feedback on what's good or bad about both, and which you think you'd rather see me continue working on.  Keep in mind, neither is in a final stage, issues can be resolved, so base this on the concept behind it and what you think we can make together, not which is less buggy or more or less baked.
