Oh yeah. My game had you play aiast a guy named Tony. You never see Tony. He had art done, but I spent so long playtesting and balancing he was only in by name.
There were going to be other players. Tight Tony, High Roller Rick, Mid Mel ect. But it took so long just to balance Tony, that Tony's face doesn't even appear in the game.
You can't increase your bet on a fruit machine. Not the ones I've played at any rate. Maybe you can in Vegas, but definitely not one in a greasy cornor of a UK pub.
I was going to do something like this but chickened out and made a slot machine... who's AI was a pain in the arse to balance anyway. Also love the art style.
Okay I'm guessing you're new to Unity because you fell into a few newbie traps. The layering problems are because you need the sorting axis set to Y. So sprites at the top of the screen appear under the sprites lower down.
Suspicion has two elements. The "sus" value itself and a multiplier. Both go down over time and with larger wins. But if you spam sussy actions, that multiplier shoots up quickly and takes a lot to make it go down. If you want to kill sus and give a boatload of fun, give Tony a jackpot... but that leaves you at the mercy of the "cashout" mechanic.
Nah. I like the idea that it's really petty and low stakes. Gambling is everywhere in the UK, but it's a lot harder to lose everything. I mean you can, but it takes effort. You're not going to lose your house on a pub fruit machine.
The thing where the sprites will layer over each other, you can change the sort order to Y in the project settings so sprites at the bottom of the screen show on top of sprites about it
Oh yeah I understand. My game mentions a guy called Tony (he plays the fruit machine you're playing) but you never see him. SO much time was spent balancing the game that he got cut. So he's only hypothetically there. Made art for him and everything. Spent hours on it, but time was better spent getting his AI to work so you the player could win or not cheese the game.
I like the use of the theme. What I'm not keen on is the icons on the pots being different to the one on the gun. I was looking for mushrooms for ages until I figured out they were spuds.
Obligatory "fun game." I will say the lack of I frames (or a very small amount of them) made losing very quick. You go from full health to dead way too fast.
I love the style, the artworks and the colours! Chief's kiss. The game.... When it was working it was a fetch quest. There might be more, but she got stuck after the UI bugged out and she slid of the screen. Not knocking you for that. Playtesting in 48 hours is not fun. I know.
Looks great and fun for awhile, but I was hoping something more from a reversed Frogger. Also the controls are so slow and stiff and you're so big. Which doesn't help when you're thrown into unwinnable patterns of cars.
Really, REALLY nice prestation and fun to play, but really all that happens is you play one of the fast lads and run away and hide until more of your mates turn up. There's never a reason to swap unless you die or you get one of the slow guys that eat it in seconds.
