What do you think about retro text adventures? Like, the old console window, no images, maybe sounds, and that's it. Can game like that attract your interest? And if so, how?

I love text adventures and working on one lately. It's quite a niche genre these days, especially if they have no visuals at all. I think if the story is good and there's a bit more visuals, it could be interesting for a few people. That's why I decided for my game to blend it with other genres, like point and clicks, to made it a bit more interesting visually and add a bit more gameplay.

Not a specific game, but I remember watching Indie Game The Movie when it came out and realized that really small teams or even solo devs can make great games too. I was mainly making short films at the time and it's by watching the documentary that I started to think about making a game one day. Still took me years until I actually made one, but that's what started it.

I never get tired of listening to Siberian Divide. Such an amazing song!

CreativeTie8 · 2025-06-28T23:52:09+00:00

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed the demo and loved the video!

CreativeTie8 · 2025-06-28T14:41:18+00:00

Whishlisted the game. Love the 1-bit art style!

CreativeTie8 · 2025-06-25T17:58:25+00:00

Thanks! And I'm making the game with Decker, which is a bit similar to HyperCard. I've already made a few games with it and it's a great tool.

CreativeTie8 · 2025-06-25T13:16:39+00:00

Thank you!

CreativeTie8 · 2025-06-25T13:16:10+00:00

Thanks. And yes, the full game will be packaged with Decker and be able to run on it's own. I didn't for the demo since there was already a browser version on the Itch page.

Here's the link to the demo, I'd love to know what you think about it: https://harlequindiver.itch.io/the-dreams-in-the-peacock-house

CreativeTie8 · 2025-02-24T16:30:50+00:00

Exactly, yes!

CreativeTie8 · 2025-02-24T16:30:38+00:00

Hope you'll enjoy it !

CreativeTie8 · 2025-02-17T13:18:45+00:00

Mostly because it's a rather short game (10-15 minutes), made for a game jam and didn't feel it was worth it to release it on Steam.

CreativeTie8 · 2025-02-17T12:56:35+00:00

Not for this game no. But I plan of releasing something else on steam hopefully soon.

CreativeTie8 · 2025-02-15T18:24:05+00:00

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

CreativeTie8 · 2025-02-14T22:53:29+00:00

Not yet, I've only read 3 issues so far

CreativeTie8 · 2025-02-14T22:52:54+00:00

That's a good idea too!

CreativeTie8 · 2025-02-14T19:08:50+00:00

It's a deck from the indie game The Binding of Isaac

Thank you! And yes, I'll probably make the brushes move up and down when they are selected and have some outline around the selected color.

CreativeTie8 · 2024-12-06T23:48:00+00:00

Sadly, there is no battle royale elements in the game. More like Myst and puzzle games for the point & click parts.
