Can we post game teasers? Not a playable game but screenshots or videos?
If so, post what you're working on. I'll put a video up if this is allowed.
Here's my project Swimmy Fish:
You can guess from the name what it's based on. Point is to stay alive, eat worms, avoid fishermen and spears. Keep your mood chill and travel as far as possible. Still need to add a menu and balance some things. Feel free to add brutal criticisms, without breaking the rules of course.
I'm still working on it and trying to get the finishing touch done soon, I haven't got a name for it yet for now I just call it Chill Out. I didn't want to show too much just were it's at now, I want to get it done by Christmas because it's a Christmas game hopefully it's done in time, I would love suggestions or ideas for the game!
That's good that you have experience making games, I have a couple of criticisms and I'm leaving out art because I know art is hard even for me. I know that you're game is in the early stages and it's a great time to add things. I think you should add;
Like I said I know the you're game is in the starting stage's now, my advice is to get the core mechanics down first then start adding extra little things and polish the game. I don't have any criticisms as the game is in it's early stages but I would love to be updated some time soon, good work keep at it!
Great suggestions, appreciate that. For some reason it's so tempting to submit now even though there's so much time left. I'm going to resist and try to keep improving it.
I'm using assets from a licence free game on GitHub. I haven't created a single piece or art, I've always neglected that skill, which limits my games quite a bit. I'd love to have other fish options but I can't draw them :/
But I do want to make the water seem more like water, rather than a flat background. Thanks for the suggestions, and the pixel art in your game is actually really good, I like it.
Appreciate it. Here's the latest:
It's 3 energy to escape hooks
1 Energy to boost forward
Eat 1 worm = 1 Energy
Sometimes you have to intentionally get hooked, and use energy to get away. So it's important to eat worms and keep it above 3 minimum.
Distance & Worms Eaten determine your rank at the end.
Wow I can see that it has improved a lot since you showed the first teaser, I wasn't sure what you were gonna do at first but now seeing it, it's awesome. Do the spears kill you instantly? I really think you should make the game get faster the further you go, if you do implement this I feel like progression will be harder and there for keeping the player wanting to play, also if it's too hard maybe hardness levels would be good too. Other than that I can't wait until you're game is done and everyone can play it!
