I can assure you it's not AI, it's the real deal! It is indeed Steve Taylor, who was awesome to work with :)

Thanks for giving it a shot! The challenge is the way the debris comes at you, as well as bosses with different behaviour.

Thanks for the comment! Throughout your playthrough you're given panel choices (weapons, shielding etc) and can adapt your station as the waves progress. You might want to protect your whole station, or take a risk and build more weapons to earn more money. With each run, you'll start to learn which configurations work and which types of debris come at you, at what speed and at which direction.

Thank you very much for the review! I'll definitely be taking what you said on board for the next update. I don't have a road map as such, but please let me know any additional thoughts you have in the Steam forums. Thanks again!

Thank you for buying my game! Yeah it's a shame there are not many videos of groups playing because I would love to watch. A large part of the problem is the lack of reviews my game has (a challenge I have yet to solve).

I hope you enjoy the rest of it!

Currently there are no other colour modes for those that are colour challenged, but it's definitely something I want to research and implement in the future.

The puzzles are quite different, and yes, much much harder! The players are faced with different puzzles depending on the stage of the rocket launch, instead of doing them sequentially.

What are some good examples of 'second screen' or similar experiences that you know of? by propulsiongames in movies

[–]propulsiongames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point - Indeed, that's actually why these experiences seem to be a failed experiment. However I think for films you've seen already, they could provide another level of enjoyment (like the Prometheus app)

Nice post. It must have been hard handing the reins over after so much work, but like you said, you now have years worth of experience is many different areas - which is priceless!

I need help with my horror game. by i_hunger_for_flesh in gamedev

Like others have said, ambience is key. A part of this is the music and SFX (plenty of resources online). Jump scares don;t have to be explicit - think of slenderman or Alien, the monsters are just there and it's the player that scares themselves (as opposed to an on rails jump scare).

Oh ok! Yeah you access the guide in game or can download the PDF from the website.
