"Game of Foot" is a singleplayer physics game on PC, where your weapon is a foot and your hero is a baby with a decent sack (sack as in inventory space)






  
Why?

     Because if you are looking for nothing more than the nitty-gritty aspect of the game, then this is it!

     If we dig a little deeper, then “FOOT” is a “near-near-not-quite roguelike-like” (a roguelike, top-down, turn-based, shooter with permadeath and a sweet combat mechanic that resembles billiards), or simply… a “foot-shoot” game. The maps are procedurally generated for every fresh start of the game, because we had another game in mind initially.
    


Is this game fun?

     Yes!
   
   
         
How?

     Power-ups!

     Find rings inside the caves and apply them in any combination of 4 to your weapon. There are so many of them, what are you waiting for?! Go get them all and tell your friends about it!
     “WOW! The Incredible Ring of Burning Damage! Now my foot is on fire.”
     “I have AIDS (item)!”

     Find gold! Find bones! Find bat poop... Ugh! Yucky! Now make a German hand grenade.
   
   








         
The reason behind it! (Why we do what we do?)

     I’m sure so far we’ve heard it all. About that developer who found games as a youngster and decided to make some on his own, or that really, really expressive kid that had Jesus and Mr. whippy van man as the only playmates in his neighborhood. The truth is that the background doesn’t make any difference, matter-of-fact everyone with a little bit of drive can make a game nowadays, with the right resources. But it's not about making a game, it's about having an idea and staying true to it, having motivation, passion, making something that you feel ownership of and it’s not easily manipulated by media and public demands.

     A great quote in this regard, is that of Stan Lee:

     “Everybody wants to feel that you're writing to a certain demographic because that's good business, but I've never done that ... I tried to write stories that would interest me. I'd say, what would I like to read?... I don't think you can do your best work if you're writing for somebody else, because you never know what that somebody else really thinks or wants.”

     So, what is the “why?” in “Foot”? Exactly this! The fact that greed eventually overcomes principles and morale in people’s life, most of the time without even noticing it. The soul purpose of this game is to make you aware of your choice without taking you away from the guilt.
     So please, indulge me once more.



When can I play the game?

     6 months ago we were launching the game in 3 months, so next year, maybe. We are pretty far behind at the moment, but I will try to keep you posted at least once a week with new updates.

     Cheers, and it feels good to be back! Beer!

Everything new and relevant to the player will be presented as a "Dear Diary" moment. Slightly overdoing it with those detailed profiles in this stage of the game, but nevertheless it is worth it.

So why not share it with you, good people. (btw, where is everybody? Concerned the forum seems way more inactive than previous years?)

Grimy, hand-drawn aesthetic, quirky storyline and a liberal squirt of scatology for good measure. Yup, this pushes all my favourite buttons!
