New Game, Reflection, Recruiting

Posted by Pikanjo - July 26th, 2011


The game I worked on for the past year is out: HEIST. My chosen title has been taken, so I had fun with it.
In the Venn Diagram of gamers who enjoy 3rd person shooters and those who enjoy hard puzzles, I may have found the perfect combination that makes the set disjoint. I've received feedback with many pointers as to where I went wrong with my game - the main complaints being the clunky controls and difficulty level (would a walkthrough be worth it?). I appreciate the criticisms and thanks to those who reported bugs.

I learned a lot creating this game, but some improvements were set aside in the interest of moving onto something fresh - continually upgrading is a great way to make a project last forever. I am now looking to form a team for my next project. Doing all the components myself has proven to be much too time consuming. Some potential spots are: Artist, Animator, Musician/Sound Tech, Gamer. I have been actively searching out people, but the spots are by no means filled. If you're interested, have example work, and can commit to a large project, please contact me.

In the meantime, I've been working on a small game to be out in a few weeks.

I searched the NG Audio portal for all the songs I used in my game. I found a lot of good ones [CHECK THE CREDITS!] but had only so many spots. Some other fun songs I found:
Doumaaa - Russian Sunrise
The Merely Human - Russian Roulette
Citrina - Ya voz'mu sam - Metal
FKProductions - Face - Konflikt Mix
Lacrioso - U.S.S.R Goodness
DarthWeather - RA3 Theme: Soviet March
DamonRayne337 - Kaisar Soze Nuclear War

I'm at the pizza hut.

3rd person games are tough to pull off in flash and probably why they are rarely seen so kudos on embarking on that endeavor.

You said you needed a gamer... is that like a game tester so he can look at bugs or minor problems? Or is it because you need someone to criticize you work?

All of that and more.

I.e., a gamer would be something akin to a beta tester and critic combined? I'd be glad to give a hand, if that's what you're looking for, as I like giving out detailed comments in my reviews, so this seems like a logical extension of that.

For gamer I am thinking primarily about initial gameplay design - how to make interaction/control easiest for users but also testing throughout the entire process. This would be someone who has played many and a variety of games. I've played very few games, so what people seem to 'expect' from games I am quite clueless about. Problem I had with Heist is that I asked for reviews after I had designed everything :/
-Richie

Sure, I could probably help beeing a gamer on my free time. Now, if I have an exemple of work... apart from playing a lot of game genres, not that much. But, I do want to help with it thought :D

How long you took to develop HEIST's engine?

Sure, I can probably do that. I'm an avid gamer and although I haven't actually created a game, I am at least familiar with the philosophy of good game design, so feel free to PM me whenever you want to discuss some idea and/or do some beta testing. As my reviews can attest, I do take the time to think things through before I write, so I should hopefully be able to provide constructive feedback.

I'm at the taco bell.

That is correct.

The title on first drink machine is wrong. (maybe it's irony, though. I don't know) It should be "%u041D%u0430%u043F%u0438%u0442%u043E %u043A %u0442%u0430%u043D%u043A%u0438%u0441%
u0442%u043E%u0432" or "%u0422%u0430%u043D%u043A%u043E%u0432 %u044B%u0445 %u0432%u043E%u0439%u0441%u043A %u0433%u0430%u0437%u0438%u0440%u043E%
u0432%u043A%u0430" or "%u0422%u0430%u043D%u043A%u043E%u0432 %u043E%u0435 %u0442%u043E%u043F%u043B%u0438%u0432%
u043E. %u0413%u0430%u0437%u0438%u0440%u043E%
u0432%u0430%u043D%u043D%u044B%u0439 %u043D%u0430%u043F%u0438%u0442%u043E%
u043A" which means (the last one) "tanl fuel. Soda".
Tank on russian is "%u0442%u0430%u043D%u043A", it is not translated.

Oh shi...
My comment is riuned!
Unicode in studio, please.

Well as fate would have it, I am in college for game production. I've been a long time fan of yours and I have extensive art talents. Aside from creating characters my brother and I can even create realistic looking textures.
I also have minor animation experience in flash, but nothing as impressive as your skills have provided.

My various art submissions can be viewed here

I've yet to post any of my textures, but I will have examples ready if you are curious.

(also, if you are gonna make another 3d game, may I suggest unity? It is a free game development engine which is easy to pick up and use)

is this in game?
