ACT [azurezero] The Trade - puzzle platformer ror [out now for £2.5 on itch.io]

[azurezero]

edit- this might be my best game yet, no need to change the gameplay later on like I did for damsel quest...i only got a minimal amount of help, just one sprite the iron maiden enemy and associated grapple animation

I'm really pleased with this one, i've never made so much in under two weeks.

I woke up in the early hours of the morning and thought, now there's a mechanic i could work with, and immediately got to work.

might just call it the trade.

As usual of your games, it's brilliant, even if it is only a demo Even if at the moment I can't help you financially by purchasing your games (yet), I'll help you morally by saying don't ever put yourself or your games down, each of them is good in their own way.

lmao i still think the survival shooter is the worst of my games, i hated making it more than waiting a month to add the next enemy to science girl [all that was was duplicating objects, adding sprites and changing a few numbers]

i think its important for me to accept and acknowledge when a game is terrible


oh though i do appreciate your thoughts

Re: untitled puzzle platformer [ror pretty much]

Seems like a fun little puzzle game so far.

Tricky puzzles with lots of timing involved on some of them.

The sex scenes aren't great at the moment. Not sure if too small or just too quick or what, but they seem unpolished and er uninteresting for the most part. The cgs seem to still look great though.

i was gonna have the view in gallery mode be a bit bigger for them, but i'm kinda doing my best on them. i don't have much experience spriting. hopefully ill get better with time as i gain the experience to know what i want the result to look like

Re: untitled puzzle platformer [ror pretty much]

sigh finally, my internet returns...

god i never knew how depressed i get without the internet... so i didn't get much done in the last 2 days... few new rooms but no new content.

i did add things like blocks that let your swap ability through and another trap method

will think of more smut tomorrow

Re: untitled puzzle platformer [ror pretty much]

I think your game will be more popular. If you make larger sprites. Atleast as large as science girl. So girl will look cuter and I can see a bit of her curve body.

Er . . . it's OK if you already tried.
Sorry that I can't help with this issue because I'm bad in dot art and small sprites (the style that you good with )

Why don't you try learning bone animation. it's spend times for make body parts but it's safe huge of time when animation.

i might give it a shot at some point but the game would have to be right too

Completely off topic- but why do you occasionally type in 'l33t sp3@k'?

because sometimes i dont have a usb keybo4rd plugged into my laptop thats got broken keys

thanks for the bump in any case

i think larger sprites might be possible for game over scenes at some point, but im not ready for a full game cause i cant do the walk cycles.

OH, AND PEOPLE OUGHT TO TELL ME WHAT KIND OF ENEMIES/TRAPS THEYD LIKE TO SEE IN THIS G4ME

Re: The Trade - puzzle platformer [ror pretty much]

did the sprite and cg for a slime game over, this is taking the place of the floor hazard

also submitted the demo to dlsite, which means i settled for the trade as the title



it's looking like i finally have to cave and buy a new laptop as more and more of my keys die, its on its last legs anyway
gonna take a pretty big hit on the overdraft...back to £1300 to pay off before august...

so, pm me if you want a commission or anything...

55 people watching it is pretty quick... but i can't say they're a good indicator of sales...

i could release the game in its current form but im adding more puzzles and more sex sprites and cg first because i dont want the demo to have too high a percentage [currently is over fifty percent] of the total content. so...adding more content, yay, though since im trying for 1:1 ratio between the cg and the sex sprites i don't think there'll be sixteen cg like damsel quest had but this already has more sex sprites than dq

oh, and were currently at eight sprites, seven cg

 

[azurezero]

Re: The Trade - puzzle platformer [ror pretty much]

games pretty much ready at nine cg, nine sex sprites, and twenty six puzzle levels. my brains pretty dried up at making puzzles or there would be more

i'm just waiting to see if my sprite for the new enemy or my friends is better
here's a preview of mine;

so expect the game to be released either later tonight or tomorrow

the price should be £4.6, and at that price i need 350 sales to pay off my overdraft.

Re: The Trade - puzzle platformer ror [out now for £4.6]

I played this game and it was pretty fun. The puzzles were enjoyable and the cg as pretty good as well. Overall the game was enjoyable.

Re: The Trade - puzzle platformer ror [out now for £4.6]

thanks for that, but someone just reported that i dun fucked up again
the latest version i uploaded had the last real level being unwinnable due to it needing a switch...

ive removed the door instead of adding a switch because it would only mean on extra move and none of the swap puzzle bits i had in mind for it werent possible, like needing to swap a block up to the switch and make it accross and so on, the jump wasnt possible after you swapped the block up so originally i just had the switch where youd use the block as a stepping stone but it seems to have vanished somewhere


im also working on another game already but i also feel more burned out than usual but i find i dont seem to want to stop working
