Alright, cutscenes are finally in! Now that you've gotten the chance to try them out, we'd like you to rate how they affected the game!
Please rate from 1 to 5, how much the cutscenes affected your experience with the game; a 1 means it DECREASED that factor (it made the game worse in that area), a 5 means that it heavily improved it, and a 3 means that it did nothing for you and did not harm or improve the game at all.

An interesting idea that we proposed to our sound effects guy is to give him a tier similar to the Talia Audio Pack and Soundtrack tiers; he'd get 50% of profits like those two do, BUT the difference is that game developers (or animators or whomever else) would have free usage of all the sound effects made for Future Fragments thus far. The catch though would be that to make this financially viable for him, we'd need to make the tier around $40-50. Would any of you be interested?
*
Speaking of Patreon changes, did you see the icons on the right for the rewards? Did you think those were good/bad/neutral?
*
Getting back to the game itself, while the full Electric maps are only 50% done, what did you think about the ones you got to play through so far?
Assume all softlocks/inescapable areas are fixed, because they will be!
*
Now that Boss Charge Shots take no mana, did you find yourself using them more or like this better?
For those who don't know, holding down the charge button for a bit longer than usual will allow Talia to use a Fire or Ice charged shot based on what one you have selected!
*
Does the Ice Utility Shot (pressing C while having the Ice Power selected) feel better now that it has no delay?
Getting back to the cutscenes again, we'd like to know how you felt about the individual cutscenes. If you haven't seen a cutscene, just mark "didn't see this".
As with before, 5 = Really good, 1 = Really bad, 3 = wasn't really super enjoyable or bad, just a run of the mill cutscene. I realize this is a lot of answers to do, and we won't be doing this on many other surveys, but for this initial batch we want to see what resonated most with people!

One last question; the "not supposed to be able to get in there" rooms on the left and right of the Electric Hub Map, did you enjoy that and would you want to see more of that in future demos?
As always, feel free to give us your feedback and suggestions in this post! Thanks so much again for helping this game to be the best it can be, and we look forward to reading your responses :D
