Thanks! Wouldn't want anyone to jump to the wrong conclusions - especially now that I've spent countless hours torturing myself in dpaint and asprite ;-)
Yes. No AI in the game. All the ugly Bobs and animations are a collaboration between asprite, deluxe Paint IV and my trembling hands (well hand, I only have one). Backgrounds made in pixlr. Music and sound made in Logic and converted to samples used in protracker :-)
Btw. I really like your Dreamcast experiments. Is it a very steep learning curve? Love to try making something for it!
Once again a great show! Thank you for giving Tango Zero a second chance! You did really well - in outer space we often say "It takes two to tango but humans never gets past level 1" - are you sure you are 100% human? ;-)👽🛸
Would be absolutely fantastic if you would show it in Plug & Play - also remember that you can press 's' on the cowboy screen to start the game in one joystick mode - but two player is more fun!
Always wanted to see Cologne - I might take you up on that :-) Gamescom is supposed to be awesome! Would be fun to host a competition where teams of two fight for the Tango Zero hi-score!
First and foremost thank you for a great show! And thank you for featuring my game!
A few pointers - to complete a level you need to have +1000 points before time runs out (a voice is saying 3 minutes... 2 minutes... 1 minute to let you). You actually got very close ;-)
Second point - every action costs fuel - I saw that from the second time you played you had the beamer on the whole time - that costs a lot of fuel and should only be used shortly when directly over a cow. The second the cow gets locked-in by the beam you can release the fire button.
Third - The one who controls the gun also controls the shield. By pressing the joystick up, you engage the shield so that no bullets can harm you - however - shield cost fuel - so use only short bursts.
With these hints - you should be able to get to the next level - featuring submarines! Watch out - that level is tricky, but there is a strategy that helps you if you can figure it out. Next level is Panzer train - It helps a lot if you've watched a movie whose title rimes with 'dope'.
Again, thank you for a great show - it also allowed me to dust off my german - which is where I will have my summer vacation :-)
Yeah - you know how these things go - I've slated the release for some time in 2026 - I just realised that I wanted to make the backstory and puzzles better - and rather than rushing things, just take my time doing it right. The soundtrack is out on streaming services, which was a bigger task than anticipated - I do however have another game (Tango Zero) coming out in a couple of months :-) It's the total opposite of The Doll Maker - fast paced alien cowboy action!
Love Timo's castle by the way - and that Collectors Box sure look beautiful!
But there's a bunch of things that I didn't plan with like image compression, data encryption and a save game system to mention a few things :-) but subscribe and I'll keep you posted :-)
A bit hard to say. I'm working hard on the game design right now with most of the general coding done. I hope to release it in November but no promises!
I finished the soundtrack last week, it'll be out on streaming platforms this Friday :-)
Thank you for taking an interest! Hellish things are starting to creep in the shadows of the dying sun... Cracks are forming even in the most peaceful places.
Congratulations! The plant is the end of the demo :-) there's a lot more to be done at the plant in the full version which I hope to release in October or November :-)
