Update #37:i think i found the mathematical sweet spot for these black hole mechanics. somehow both annoying and fun xD this is basically just a depreciating velocity that gets stronger near the middle. you get your double jump back if you hit the center of the holes so you don't get trapped. science!

Update #38:i've been experimenting with bouncy fire balls. the green ones bounce off walls, and are also baseball compatible. I need to add more of these to other parts of the game because they are so fun xD by the way, you can also follow on facebook or twitter. I tend to post extra stuff in those places if you are interested.

Yeah, that was probably Trial by Viking! I played a little bit of an old demo from March with Carter Dotson that they posted. It's come a long way since then however! It will be released on touch, but it will be a while after the Steam release it seems like. I have to redo the touch controls and do a good amount of device testing and optimization before hand. |

Update #39:i've been working on making the wall sliding and wall jumping more fun lately. I've added a few new animations, particles, and tweaks to the code. what do you think so far?

Update #40: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lastlifegames/trial-by-vikinghttp://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=499233468I have a few big announcements to make. First, the Trial by Viking KickStarter and Steam Greenlight Campaigns just went live today. If you'd like to reserve a copy of the game today, backing the KickStarter might be the best way. Second, I have release the first major video of the game. There is also a link to the Vimeo HD version on the top of the KickStarter. Thank you all for all of your support so far. I have been working very hard on this, so any help in spreading the word is hugely appreciated! Cheers, Dustin

The game really developed well since my last visit. I watched the latest video, very nice!
I just backed the Kickstarter and keep my fingers crossed for the founding!

The Kickstarter goal looks very manageable/humble for the quality the game already shows, imho. Best of luck for the campaign!

Thanks for the encouragement! I wish I was as sure as you guys though! Only 3 backers yesterday. I'm trying as hard as I can to get the word out, but it's pretty tough. I will keep at it as best I can! |

Update #42:Recently I had sent out some video of the game to a few youtubers. One replied saying he liked the look of the game, but that the death animations looked a bit "jankey". He suggested that maybe a ragdoll death would be in order. I hadn't planned to do this because of some technical limitations, but after thinking about it some more, I found a way to get past that and add them. Let me know what you think!  By the way, Trial by Viking is currently running a KickStarter campaign. There's some new video of the game there too. Any help you can lend is hugely appreciated! Thank you! Dustin

Update #43:After some reflection, I thought it would be a good time to show the zoomout feature. Since the levels in TBV are not super huge, there is no official map, but if you hold up for 1 second, the entire view will zoom out, showing a larger portion of the level. Players who learn to use this to their advantage will have a much easier time figuring out the lay of the land, especially in the harder levels towards the end of the game. By the way, Trial by Viking is currently running a KickStarter campaign. There's some new video of the game there too. Any help you can lend is hugely appreciated! Thank you! Dustin
