so on Saturday I realised this thing was open to folks beyond Montreal, so I figured I'd see what I could do in the time left :D



It's unity, almost code complete (I think, it may have some surprises for me yet) and I have it to the point where I can almost hand it over as a finished game, so everything I put in from here is all bonus really. I'm doing my best to make it polished before the deadline.

also the name is very likely to change, but might not depending on how long it will take me to make a title logo for it (wow I'm cutting things fine here)

anyhoo, I'll try and post more here, but for up-to-the minute progress I normally drop posts on my tumblr

I've been seeing the progress from your Twitter posts. It's coming along quickly! I hope that character ragdolls when she inevitably hits the walls. 4 1/2 days left gogogo!

[Katamaran]

oh man, I really love your main character. good luck on the few days left!

[SophieH]

I hope that character ragdolls when she inevitably hits the walls.

no ragdolls sorry, I just don't have the time and I've never done it before, plus its the type of game where you die a lot, anything that extends the time between death and respawn will eventually become frustrating

anyhoo, here's a fresh screen:

[SophieH]

made the first sewer level :D

[JamesGecko]

Looks highly excellent. Amazing what one can do with a week. 

[SophieH]

and it's been submitted!


it's not got quite everything I wanted to have (5 levels instead of 9 D:) but I'm happy with everything that's in there and I'm glad I didn't rush to add everything at the cost of quality.

when it comes web release time I can add all that other stuff then

Hi GirlFlash,

Your game looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to playing it.

Best regards

so I got my email this morning, the game didn't make the cut but that's not getting me down, I learnt plenty working on it and seeing as I only spent a week on the thing in total it's not much of a loss at all. besides, the quality of even the other 'dropouts' is really brilliant :D, I dont mind being on the losing team when the team is so awesome

I'm not sure if I'll release the gamma version now or not, I plan to update it with a few more levels and cutscenes. plus the very cool flashygoodness has agreed to make some music for the game too.

what do you guys think, a quiet 'pre-release' version so you can play what there is, or would you rather wait till it's whole?

[tyronehenrie]

I felt the same way, but I don't think there's any harm in doing the quiet release. It depends on if you think the feedback will help the final product.

Just do it!

[Katamaran]

I wouldnt mind giving some feedback on on a "beta" release, if that's what you want. this one looks fun

[knight]

If this didnt make it I don't know what will.

[SophieH]

ok then, release it I shall! (I guess I dont take much convincing lol)

we'll call this the beta release then (zip contains windows and OSX versions):

• Download from my site (possibly slow)
• Download from mirror

any and all feedback will be appreciated

This is more fun than I thought it would be. Especially in the sewer levels. The adding of difficulty levels is a nice touch as well. Shame it didn't get picked, it's really fun.

[Katamaran]

wow, the hardest difficulty level isnt playing around.

This has some real potential for some hardcore old-school action puzzles. I have to say I didn't finish the third or so sewer level, I really wish that there were not limited lives.
