Ascenso

Will attempt pretty much that, sans 'Famicom'.

Those pointy things are butterflies that flutter about.

Holy moly, this is beautiful and terrifying, even in static screenshots.

Excellent, trippy game agj looks great. Tell us about the gameplay.

You have to stick the needle in.

I'm getting the feeling this will be a productive compo for strange gameplay and graphical design. :-*

Fostering high expectations and eventual disappointment. Keeping it real.

Anyone wanna share what they think this is like to play? Might help me bring it to a less improper resolution.

Was already half expecting it to play similar to your recent bricolage/negative capability game collective pageant games.

Woah. Trippy, trippy stuff.

Just blindly adding stuff.

When I saw that first screenshot I immediately thought "I'll bet that's the same person who made that funky eye toy (Deconstructivism (http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/1265)) a couple of months ago.

Any more progress on this? It looked really interesting so far.

Thanks. Not really; I haven't worked much on this or on any other games and such. If the extension hadn't panned out, I had planned on releasing it as it is currently, and fixing it later, but as things are now, maybe during this upcoming week I'll take a bit of time to finish it up properly before releasing it.

It's 'finished'. As much as I brought myself to, before the deadline, at least. There's some stuff there to discover, it's not all at plain sight, but there's not much of that, either.

I don't have a lot to say about it, but, I am amused :)

I like the warpy effect especially for some reason.

Nice effects and atmosphere, but I don't see too much game to it, what are you exactly supposed to do?


Title: Re: [AGBIC] Ascenso ['Finished']
Post by: tipp on August 10, 2010, 01:55:16 PM
I don't think you really are supposed to know what to do. I think it's one of those games where you play it for a while, and either come out loving or hating the experience.

I loved it by the way.  ;D

I played it for a while. It's interesting, though I'm not really sure what kind of feedback I can give.

Wow.  Trippy.

It was a bit of a shame that the interaction felt so limited.  The potential seemed a lot greater than the realization.

Also, it's not clear if I was meant to take anything more from it than "this is a pretty neat effect".  If I was then I missed it  :(
