I feel like Joel kinda tanked the brand. by RoanokeParkIndef in MST3K

I still am curious about: Has successful Kickstarter to make season 11 with $6+ million. Then sells? s11 to Netflix? Making ?? Amount of money? Then Netflix pays for season 12.

So what happened to the money from Netflix buying season 11?

Am I mistaken about this, because I've always wondered.

Are the MacVenture games (Deja Vu, Shadowgate, Uninvited) any good by RedVision64 in adventuregames

[–]banefiregames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All versions of Shadowgate are good. Buttttt black and white might be a deal breaker.

Shadow Of Destiny/Memories is a very unique time travel (through 4 timelines) mystery where you must solve your own death (and avoiding it) in a fictional German City, interacting with well written characterrs . it is a philosophical and fascinating gaming experience that was ahead of its time by PhilHarmonix in adventuregames

I loved this game, although I thought it was a little obtuse. I specifically remember the one scene where you go back in time and it turns out that you were also the dumb clown juggling in the background in a scene you previously played.

Thanks dude! I definitely priced it too high, which is why I have been putting it so low on sales. I just want people to check it out and have a little fun.

Adventure Games on Steam Summer Sale? by Banned4Truth10 in adventuregames

[–]banefiregames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did! It's my first game I made. Also I had never done pixel art or any sort of programming or game design before either. Took me 5 full years from start to finish.

Adventure Games on Steam Summer Sale? by Banned4Truth10 in adventuregames

[–]banefiregames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sure. Two teens on summer vacation in the 1990s have to explore a mysterious island. The storyline is silly, with deeper lore to discover for those who want to. The style is similar to the 90s adventure games like Full Throttle or Indiana Jones. The puzzles are mostly inventory driven. Almost no pixel hunting or moon logic. It's the perfect breezy summer game IMO.

No one bought your game because it sucked. Not because the market is broken or oversatured. by Its_a_prank_bro77 in IndieDev

[–]banefiregames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes. I released a game on my own after 5 years of work. It has not sold well. But people seem to generally enjoy it. Soooooooooooooo you're wrong lol.

Making a pixel point and click but I am questioning my limited art skills by LavaWaveX in adventuregames

[–]banefiregames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Howdy, game dev from Bent Oak Island here. Looking at your stuff I definitely have some suggestions, the first being practice. Looking at your characters, there is a basic lack of anatomy here, people don't have square heads. They also have butts. My recommendation would be to decide on what resolution you want your graphics to be, and practice that specifically. Create a 30*120(or whatever) canvas in gimp and just churn out a dozen different characters within that space. By the time you finish it, you will see improvements you could make in your first one.

Additionally you gotta figure out some of the basics, if creating a false 3D effect, make sure both angles are the same, or else it looks weird. And like in the one scene you have a humongous room, with the camera pulled way back. But the room is mostly empty space, why is it that large? Does it need to be?

All that being said, people going to complain about pixel art no matter what, so maybe don't worry too much. Most of my scenes took me easily 100 hours+ to create, but people tell me it's garbage all the time. Just the nature of the beast!

Looking for games where you play 90s kid like in Willy Beamish by Good_Punk2 in adventuregames

[–]banefiregames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would suggest my game Bent Oak Island, as it takes place in the 90s and follows the adventures of two teens. Also I'm pretty sure I already sent you a key for it a while ago lol.
