  1. Post Your Game for Playtesting and Feedback!

    Oh hey, I didn't notice this thread before I posted a new one at https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/9863-wildfire-a-game-about-fire-propagation/ - Not sure if that needs to be deleted and I should post in here? Anyway, I'm making a game called Wildfire about fire propagation. You can download it here (4MB): http://sneakybastards.net/wildfire_tutorial_test.zip or from here: http://www.dropbox.com/s/hazev545p3vtkxg/wildfire_tutorial_test.zip?dl=0 It's a tutorial and a couple of levels. Any thoughts you have, would love to hear them!
  2. A couple of Vine clips: https://vine.co/v/Opz6gYKglLg https://vine.co/v/Op5AnBBTI23 DOWNLOAD LINK: http://sneakybastards.net/wildfire_tutorial_test.zip (4MB) Alternate Dropbox link: http://www.dropbox.com/s/hazev545p3vtkxg/wildfire_tutorial_test.zip?dl=0 Wildfire is a 2D platformer about fire propagation, with stealth elements. You capture and throw fire to spread it around the environment and affect enemies. The build above contains a full tutorial and a couple of test levels. Would love any and all feedback on how it plays. Cheers!

    A new build is up at http://sneakybastards.net/wildfire.zip with a bunch of big tweaks: - You can hide in unburnt grass - Enemies can't see you through smoke - Enemies don't catch on fire instantly, but will run away from fire - You can drop a smoke bomb! I am worried this has made the game a little too easy, though. Feedback on that super appreciated! Here is a sweet Vine showing how you can emerge out of fire and terrorise enemies: https://vine.co/v/O6i0JrDBijp

    Any chance a mod could move this into the Game Dev subforum? Or should I just start a new thread? The latest build is here: http://sneakybastards.net/wildfire.zip Changelog in the CONTROLS.txt, also here: - Health no longer regenerates automatically. You must find water to return to full health. - Smokejumping has been temporarily removed. - You can no longer jump over enemies to avoid them. - Currently, the only way to be hidden is to crouch in grass by holding 'S'.

    I just realised this should have maybe been posted in the Game Dev subforum, sorry!
  6. Making a game inspired by Far Cry 2

    Hello, long-time listener, first-time poster. I'm the Australian Editor of GameSpot and you may have heard me on the podcast before as the guy who wrote about Pug the Unclean. In my spare time I'm working on a prototype platformer inspired by the fire propagation in Far Cry 2. It's being done in GameMaker. I would love to get some high-level systems feedback, or any general thoughts you have on the thing. Download link is here: http://sneakybastards.net/wildfire.zip It has a basic tutorial, and after that there's one test level to play around in. Cheers!
