F4 goes fullscreen, that might make it easier to select some things.

Cann₈t wait t₈ see what y₈u d₈ with this. G₈₈d luck.

I was interested in this one, I hope you do something innovative!

I've been working on music, mostly, so far. I don't have any screenshots or mockups or anything, but here's an animation:

His name is Greatfuck. He is a brother of the 8:Sound (http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=3345.0) character, whose name is also Greatfuck. They do not understand basic orders. If you tell them not to pass 8, they will pass it. They are obnoxious assholes and will not listen to a word you say. >:(

While I try to calm down, listen to some music (http://thrompd.hinchy.us/music/capsule1.mp3).

Reminds me of Meteos.

Barely anything done yet but here's a screenshot.

That looks great so far, loving the colours.

Wow, that's beautiful.

Dude, that's looking great. I love the glitchy look with soft colors. :-*

Thanks guys!

I've uploaded a video here, it's really basic right now but I'm making some fun progress.

The style is gorgeous. It's kind of retro with a very modern edge.

Loving the art too.

This game's style is just mind blowing.

I really like how this looks. I'll be watching this project :V

Still working on level one (game will only have two short levels) but this is coming along very nicely. It's been a while since I've made a game but this has been smooth for me. I have the game pretty much figured out at this point and now I'm just thinking of puzzles as I go along.

Basically you solve the puzzles by throwing objects around at other objects. It sounds simple as hell because it is. But there seems to be a lot I can do with this, so I'm having some fun with it. At the end of each level you fight a boss, and though I haven't started on any of those yet, I can imagine how they'll work now and it'll hopefully be fun putting them in there.

I guess I'll post another screenshot while I'm at it. There's not a lot new but I've been tweaking things.

Also, I appreciate the comments so far. You guys are beautiful.

EDIT: I'll also add that, while it's not clear what the hell this game has got to do with time capsules, it will be soon!!!

This game is so beautiful man. So beautiful.

 :tearsofjoy:

I agree, the art style is coming off amazing.

HERE'S A TIP FOR YOU (http://thrompd.hinchy.us/misc/tipforyou.mp3)

Still working on this shit! Been losing some motivation but I've really gotta get going if I want to finish this.

it really does look fantastic, great work.  :-*

It's looking delicious. Please finish!

Done! Download here. (http://thrompd.hinchy.us/games/8Capsule.zip)

Honestly there are probably really stupid bugs in here because I'm rushing this. But I didn't find anything too horrible, so here it is. I have become really tired of this game, there was gonna be a lot more but I just couldn't work on it.

That said, I'm still proud of what I got done, and it DOES have an ending and stuff. So it's complete, just not as big as I wanted. Try it out and leave some beautiful feedback!!

This is the first game I'm playing when I get off work tonight.  I don't even know what genre it is, I guess I am just judging AGBIC, lol.

Thanks.

Anybody who has already downloaded it, re-download it because there's a major issue in the one I put up before (it's an older one and I forgot to replace it in the zip file when I made the change).

Oops I destroyed the universe.

I'm stuck on the second level :( No matter what I do I can't figure it out.

I really like the music and the artwork. First level seemed pretty reasonable, but the second one is just  >:(

edit: Never mind, it wasn't that hard..I wasn't paying attention enough. Having just finished it, I have to say I really enjoyed it. It's so short and I want more. Shame you lost motivation

I'm not quite sure what happened but I enjoyed it.

I haven't been able to figure out how to finish the second level. I turned one of the pillar things into a... monster... a thing with a face? And I couldn't figure out the other one (on the right at the top). It's hard to describe; haha...

Anyway, I like the music and the graphics; the whole thing is just very stylish. I also like how the objective is not really explained. It was frustrating at first, but it was cool just figuring everything out... Until I got stuck on the second level, anyway.

I too am stuck on the second. >:(

Must finish!

EDIT: Finished! ;D

...

:epileptic:

This is a wonderful game. I especially like the ending, with the BEAUTIFUL voices.

:)

Thanks guys! I didn't actually think the second level would be so tough for most people, but at least it's not too much trouble.

It's pretty clever, and once you figure it out you go "Now why didn't I think of THAT?".

The ending is terrifying. :epileptic:

playthrough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Z3niYXm7A

I love how a few people are assuming there is some sort of pretentious hidden meaning behind all this crazy weird shit (as opposed to it just being crazy weird shit for the sake of it).

Yes, people sometimes seem too concerned with meaning, sometimes taking it to ridiculous extremes. They will read meaning into almost anything, and will be upset if this imaginary meaning seems hard to find. They forget that there are many other things that are worthwhile, like creating something that inspires a certain mood or emotion, or creates an interesting atmosphere. It seems like the creator of this game had those things in mind more than any sort of meaning.

I got to the last triangle in the second level, then got stuck and ended up watching ortolson's playthrough instead  :-[

I love the aesthetic and weirdness of it, but maybe a bit more feedback or motion on the interactive things or something would help clue people in ...

Excellent

The music sounds a little like Earthbound which is a very good thing.

I don't know what I just played, but it was FUCKING AMAZING.

This didn't work for me on Windows 7. :( It says I have the wrong version of DirectX, but everything is bang up to date. :shrug2: Gonna try it when I can get hold of a different machine.

I thoroughly enjoyed this whimsical experience.

I really enjoyed this - I'll admit, I watched ortoslon's video a bit when I got stuck, but it was only because I wanted to finish.  It was a truly innovative, surreal puzzle game.

The music was also very well-done; in the second level especially it provided a subtle prelude to the end atmosphere (which, I agree with Melly, was terrifying).

I am basing my knowledge of the ending off of the video, however - when I actually played the game and beat the third level, the boss continually exploded and it never went to the "BEAUTY" screen.

;D

Thank you guys, you are all sparkling wonders. And thanks for the playthrough video, ortoslon! Beautiful.


Did you happen to download the game soon after I first uploaded it? Because I found that problem a while after and fixed it. If that's not the case, then I'm not sure what could be causing that.

It could be the torrent version of the game, which was created almost immediately after Melly closed the competition.  Seems batching the game is proving to be more problems than it's worth. >:

You know, I probably have an old version.  I'll re-download and try again.

Finally had some time to play some of these and this one blew me away.  Loved the style and the interaction.  The puzzles were fair.  I didn't get stuck on the second level for more than a minute.  Excellent stuff all around!  Beautiful!

I really like this.  It's a cool puzzle mechanic... finding out the rules and intricacies behind an abstract world.  The look and feel was really good too.  I kinda wish it was longer.

I loved figuring out how stuff works. You have a great talent for making far-fetched solutions seems like they're logical and obvious. It was almost like dream logic type of experience. Great graphics, music and ending too. My only complaint is that the last pales a bit in comparison to the others in terms of gameplay.

This is pretty rad shit, the visuals and the audio are pretty cool. I like the "figure it on your own" attitude to a degree, I think at times this takes it too far, yet it's so charming you don't wanna give up easily.

If it had some sort of subtle hint system when the game detects you have been stuck for so long, that would help. Like those match 3 games where the pieces you need to match shine when you haven't scored for some time.

Still, this is pretty cool and original. One of the best  :coffee:

This is one of my favorite entries.  I do think there could be a few more clues to help the player differentiate background from the objects they need to interact with to progress through the level.  I do like the abstract visual style.

8:Capsule has won the Phat Beats badge for being one of the winners of the Best Audio poll. Congratulations.
