SCREENSHOTS

I didn't want to post it here yet, because the soundtrack needs to be replaced, but here you go; the teaser trailer for Inside Pete, the game.

So what is Inside Pete?



Foremost, it’s a strategic mobile game that will be released early 2015 for both iOS and Android. But it’s also a free background story website. Both are very different, but take place in the same universe.

GAME:



You travel through Pete’s body one vessel at a time. Each level, you move from a predefined starting point to a fixed end point within one particular vessel and clean it up on the way. Don’t worry, if it sounds disgusting, it really is.



Foes enter from the right hand side of the screen. Right is this side: ->. You must prevent them from reaching the firewall, which is what we call the separation between your base and the battle zone. You do this by murdering and killing.



Use white blood cells, which come in red, green and orange, to attack the enemy organisms, which come in red, green, orange and a whole lot of other colors. Blood cells like to attack in groups, because they like dying together. The nano bot in your bases clones new blood cells to replace the fallen ones.
That sounds easy, huh? It really is, even you can play this game.

STORY



The background website allows you to take a look in Pete’s brain, who’s stuck in the past. Please try it yourself at http://www.insidepete.com/story/. It's free. And fun.

For this type of game, or for any action strategy game, for that matter, the user interface is very important. I've put a lot of time in making an interface that works on devices of different sizes. Also, it starts out very simple in the beginning of the game, but grows together with the experience.

I've (loosely) based the markings in the 'base' on airport ground markings. I've always loved those 

The Inside Pete interface grows together with your experience:



The interface is built for both large and small screens:



Murdering and killing has never been easier and more satisfying:

Did you know animated GIFs are older than Flash? True story. Here's one:

I just replaced the soundtrack of the teaser by a royalty free version. Avoiding being sued and that kind of stuff 

Here you go:



Enjoy.

Long time no post. Here are some more animated GIF's to keep you going ^^

These are the 3 types of units, with all of their moves:

Pete's got 99 problems, en empty fridge is one.

Just saying.

[sec32]

I'm going to keep trying until I get a comment from anybody. My mother, a friend, a colleague, anybody will do ^^

Anybody up for some concept art? These are some of the foes roaming around in Pete's guts.

I would like to dedicate 100% of my time to developing my game, but as most other indie developers I have to share it with promoting the game. Last week, I was lucky enough to have a brainstorm (organized by http://www.flandersinshape.be) in the beautiful building of the Howest Game Development School (http://www.howest.be/thelevel/multimedia.html).
A big fat gluten included thank you to the participants of the brainstorm.

Looking back at those pictures, horizontal stripes are not my friend. Burgers are.

This looks an interesting idea! I like the art.

[sec32]

My first comment! I'm going to celebrate it right away. With cheetos and beer. As breakfast.

Thanks a lot, happymonster. We're working hard to finish the rest of the enemies. I'll post them here if we have a new bunch ready.

There are a lot of views with hardly any comments in this forum (probably due to the sheer amount of new projects announced, it causes post fatigue!). I have the same issue with my projects.

Still, people are reading and enjoying your posts

On the internets people have an attention span of about 1200 milliseconds. Chances are you didn't make it this far into the text and switched to looking at a cat video. For you, and everybody else of the digital generation, I made a video about the gameplay.

[sec32]

My wife doesn't like it, apparently. Really, really, really doesn't like it.

[sec32]

Pete is old. And fat. But really old. He lived long enough to have his favorite era: the 80's. In honor of Pete and that fabulous era, we have kitch-o-fied the logo of Sector 32, my one-man-company which will publish the game.

[sec32]

My ugly face, a quick summary of the story for all you tl;dr guys, and moving images of some enemies. Enjoy. I hope.

[dancing_dead]

this looks really good and polished. I'm surprised to find such a tiny amount of verbal attention. perhaps it's the name?
