For a games event next tuesday I decided to jam out a quick game idea this week, so I would have something new to show, and so I could test out an idea on a public audience.
The idea is a puzzle shooter, wild west themed! The puzzles come out of how to get through a series of rooms with very limited ammunition or weapons available.
This is a very simple example - The revolver only has 6 bullets, but there are 8 guys in an area, so you can't shoot them all, and your melee attack isn't strong enough to kill them (and they'd kill you first anyway).
However, one of them has a revolver too, so if you shoot two guys, then him, you can take his revolver to defeat the others. This is way simplified compared to what I want to put in later, but it gives you some idea.
I will put up the prototype for people to mess with as it evolves, give feedback etc so I can see if this idea is any good! So any feedback would be good.
Here is a screenshot, it has Doom-like graphics, partly because its quicker to make, partly because removing one axis makes shooting easier so you can concentrate on the puzzles more, and partly cause I think it looks cool.
