ME EIGHT!!! Still cranking away. Working on making lots of levels now. We also came up with a new menu system that we're pretty happy with. Before, you would just linearly go through the levels one by one, but now you get to choose what levels you want to do, and they get unlocked based on the cumulative number of people you've saved. I think end of August is a hard deadline for us (famous last words....). I think we can make it! Self published all the way! Indie pride represent!
Thanks! Aiming for around 20. Keith is working hard on level design, and the levels are amazing. Really fun.
It's really coming along! Here are some new screenshots. These are my favorite aliens: Here's Max meeting his somewhat obnoxious but very helpful guide, Lizzie: The store, for all your upgrading pleasure: Boss Battle! There are more screenshots on our Facebook page. Like us, like us!
It will come out.... when it's ready If I knew, I'd tell you. I think we're at the point where we have a really awesome game. Now we just need to make more levels. We have 6 right now, and they're a lot of fun with lots of variety. We want to make at least 20, and each level takes a lot of time to create and then test and balance, make sure it's not too easy, not too hard, but just right. Then we'll have to do a ton of beta testing. So I'm not really sure when it will be done, but the extra time we're taking is really worth it. We don't want to push out an unfinished game. We're really proud of how Max is turning out so far
That's great! Take your time to make a great game! Anyone who wants it immediately won't buy it anyways and anyone who was willing to wait wouldn't buy an unfinished game.
I completely agree, also a polished game would get the reviews it deserves rather than being batted down due to bugs and other problems/dislikes. For level layout, could you give us a simple run through of the setup? Such as collect keys to open doors and save friends or will there be ambushes/puzzles to crack and the such?
YES!!! Yes, yes, yes yes!!! Those screenshots look amazing! I will try as hard as I can to wait patiently! This is definitely the #1 game that I am waiting for! Keep up the good work! Whoa that's alot of exclamation points...
@JoshCM @ThunderGameWorks Thanks guys! Nice of you to support us. I'm sure you've both had the experience of being "almost finished" with a game... for months and months and months. But it's worth it in the end. In most of the levels, you have to walk around and find and save friends while fighting off aliens. Many times the friends are behind locked doors, so you have to find keys to get to them. It's also important to collect hidden treasure, as you can upgrade up your skills and items between levels in the store using the money you've collected. There are also some bonus levels that are timed, where you have to run around and collect as much treasure as you can before the time runs out. And there are some boss levels, where you have to destroy a bunch of boss alien bases. Not a problem! Glad you're excited We're trying to be super patient too. We're definitely very excite too and eager to release it, just can't release it before it's ready. !!!! So nice to have someone so excited! Yay! !!
