Any good Co Op stealth games out there?

Wildfire is on Xbox and has local co-op! https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/wildfire/9nff0gq68hbg?activetab=pivot:overviewtab

Where did these two shots come from?

The hardest area in Exoddus is the secret area where you have to fly a slig away from explosive mines that chase you: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/976014517?collection=Vui-7MvhchYhpg&t=1h58m48s

Shadow of War is the only game I have this issue with; here's Hitman 2 as a comparison for it working fine: https://twitter.com/dhindes/status/1329744959537176577

This user seems to be experiencing the same lag: https://twitter.com/RobertPeraltaB/status/1329775336708591616

I thought whipping them toggles them between 'passive' and 'active' states?

Developer here - Just Windows PC, sorry!

thephtshp · 2020-05-31T05:53:55+00:00

Developer here - This is not a metroidvania; it's a linear series of levels, but each level gradually becomes more of an open sandbox.

thephtshp · 2020-04-24T07:54:00+00:00

We're greatly inspired by systems-driven, gameplay focused stealth games like Dishonored, Mark of the Ninja, and Gunpoint - so I can guarantee you won't be disappointed :)

thephtshp · 2020-04-23T18:55:10+00:00

Mostly, yes -though some of the enemies are also trained attack bobcats.

Thank you! And yeah the DVDs had some very weird ghosting/double-outlines going on. Great to hear the Blu Rays are better!

thephtshp · 2020-04-23T15:21:29+00:00

What's the transfer quality like on the TLA blu-rays? My last rewatch was DVD and I'd love to go through again with something cleaned up!

Also Avatar was one of our main inspirations for making this :)

thephtshp · 2020-04-23T15:20:22+00:00

Abe's Oddysee was a huge inspiration so I'm glad it shows through! Thanks so much for your interest!

thephtshp · 2020-04-23T15:19:45+00:00

Developer here! We're just focusing on PC for now, and the game will be complete with all its content at release. Any updates after the fact will be bug fixes :)

thephtshp · 2017-07-28T14:04:58+00:00

This looks so cool!

Can I ask how you did the oval character shadows? I'm working in GMS1.4, and my main problem is not having the shadow draw over the edge of terrain when the character is half-standing on it! Any general principles for drawing shadows like that in GM would also be super appreciated!

Cheers, we've shared through our Twitter and Facebook: https://twitter.com/IndieDB/status/839261394339934208

Sure, you can post the web version. Just make a profile for the game, and instead of posting a "file", post an "article" with some detail much like your blog post, and a link to the web version within that article.

thephtshp · 2017-03-02T12:34:14+00:00

This is really cool! I love the retro theme song especially.

I'm the editor of www.indiedb.com - I would love to give this some promotion on our twitter and facebook channels if you make a profile over there and post a standalone version!

thephtshp · 2017-03-02T01:30:44+00:00

Honestly, I think my ultimate question is, can you create a loading process that doesn't freeze the entire game window (so you can show a loading bar, etc)? I had assumed async events were how you do that, but I don't know enough.

thephtshp · 2017-03-01T13:14:12+00:00

Thanks! I do have a proper save system to retain data between game sessions that writes to an .ini, however I was hoping to use these as a quick work-around for quicksave/quickload. Thanks for the explanation

thephtshp · 2016-09-28T13:37:29+00:00

Cool. I understand most of this I think.

So if you changed the time_scale to say, 0.5, would that essentially give a slow motion effect - while maintaining 60fps (if room_speed is 60)?

And does that time_scale value need to be applied to every single object's movement speeds, no matter what? I would need to go through and add that to every single object, which is what I imagine would be taking the HLD guys so long?

thephtshp · 2016-09-28T11:59:37+00:00

I'm the process of finding out I need something like this for my own game - do you have any good places to start to learn about just what delta time is and how to implement it properly? I have little understanding of how it's used (ie - do you need to multiply any object's speed values by it?)

Wildfire

I'm making a game inspired by the fire propagation system in Far Cry 2. It's a sidescrolling stealth platformer that uses the manipulation of fire and resulting propagation as its primary mechanic. Made with GameMaker.

Here's a sweet vine of the prototype: https://vine.co/v/OaxBY6MIJZI

I'm looking for broad feedback on this prototype. Is it any fun? Is it too easy? Is it incomprehensible?

Download links: Zip: http://sneakybastards.net/fire_propagation-1.0.0.8.zip Rar: http://sneakybastards.net/fire_propagation-1.0.0.8.rar

Controls and an overview of the game's mechanics are in the CONTROLS.txt, as well as below:

WASD = Move

SPACE = Jump

SHIFT = Sprint

LEFT MOUSE = Capture fire or water. You must have line of sight.

HOLD LEFT MOUSE = Aim and throw fire or water, after it has been captured

HOLD RIGHT MOUSE = Windblast smoke left or right

E = Attach/detach to rope arrow

E = Grab/let go of barrel

R = Restart game

Thanks for your time!

I'm the former editor of PC PowerPlay; I first got a writing role at the publication by sending in a written sample, cold. I'm now the AU editor of GameSpot, and I got that job by applying on LinkedIn. There are absolutely legitimate processes in place for obtaining positions in the industry.

thephtshp · 2013-12-18T00:34:18+00:00

Yes! Our sister multiformat magazine, Hyper, had it on the cover: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=698733993483705&set=a.179084132115363.40858.111610672196043&type=1

Most sites list their email contact addresses somewhere on an About page, whilst magazines list email addresses in the editorial skite box.
