Wodenpwn Posted December 13, 2012 Hi Thumbs, I saw that someone else posted about the game they made here, so I was emboldened to talk about my own. I would love to get some feedback about it. The game is called Full Bore, and its a puzzle adventure platformer where the player interacts with the blocks of the levels to find treasure and explore the world. The blocks have different behaviors, and the player must learn and work with them to navigate. There is a demo available at www.gofullbore.com/demo or you can read/watch more about it at www.gofullbore.com. Additionally, the game has a great soundtrack, which you can preview through the site or hear on the demo. Thanks for reading, and I would love to respond to any comments or questions you have.

Joewintergreen Posted December 13, 2012 That is a super visually cool game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted December 13, 2012 Looks very nice, reminds me of Amiga games and specifically Krusty's Fun House (having googled it, this isn't terribly accurate. I think it's the sprite that does it). You realise that you're leaving yourselves wide open to snarky review quips with that title though, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wodenpwn Posted December 13, 2012 The title was deliberate, I would love to force some journalists to use terrible puns in their headlines. Thanks for the comments! The sprites are normal mapped (well, some of them, we're working on getting them all mapped) and the game has a real time lighting system. The darker levels look really neat.

Tanukitsune Posted December 13, 2012 Isn't the title almost a triple pun combo already? Full bore=full speed, bore as in drilling and the obvious boar one? He dashes and digs so it's a appropriate! :3 I like how you can already see some variety in the levels in the trailer, not only in theme but mechanically too!

syntheticgerbil Posted December 13, 2012 I love the little boar animations! This is a great cohesive style. Were you the artist Wodenpwn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wodenpwn Posted December 13, 2012 Yep, I'm Finn, I did all the animation, and most of the blocks and decorations. A graphic designer friend of ours helped out with some of the blocks, and Casey, our programmer helps out with pixel art too, since he's artistically inclined. The lighting engine was Casey's brainchild - the game was not as interesting to look at before he put that in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted December 14, 2012 Yeah, that's looking gorgeous. Like a modern, higher definition Amiga game. For some reason, it reminds me of both The Lost Vikings and Blocks That Matter. Nice work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Berzee Posted December 14, 2012 Can I consider the combination of studio name and game name to be a solemn resolution that you will only ever make swine-themed software entertainment products? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wodenpwn Posted December 14, 2012 I'll see what I can do... We also want to make games with robots and dungeon insurance (in separate games). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
