Quido, the Sneak Peek!
Apologies for such an insane number of diary entries in the last few hours guys but we thought some of you guys might want to have a bit of a test drive of the game engine.
This release is ONLY a tech demonstration to show the map tracking and one of the effects of the 4 superpowers available (good ol' LIGHTNING! YEAH!).
Without any further mindless dribble, I give you TeamXERIAN's first tech sneak peak of "Quido van Killnhurtz' Failed Experiment".
Enjoy!
Quido's Tech Sneak Peek (8.4mb ZIP Archive) Run 'main.exe' - Win32. Cheers!
Hahaha! Carefull what you wish for! Off to bed now, its 2:20am and Ive got work tomorrow at 8am (GULP!), but after that its a total gamedev binge until comp close! Expect LOTS more updates =) Hope you enjoy it!
Seeing what you've done, I guess that I should try something else than mspaint to draw my sprites next year.
I just tested the sneak peek and the hud looks odd. Like it has less colors the image it's loaded from. Check my screenshot to see what I mean.
Guys (& Girls?), I am really impressed with the tech demo. One thing to mention is this: like all kids with a new toy, I played with the lightning. A lot. All at one. After about 20 clicks in a row, you have a permanent, semi-transparent white layer covering the entire screen that doesn't go away. I don't know that it will be an issue in game but might be something to take a look at.
Otherwise, it seems great.
To Cowz :
Apparently you didn't play enough with it, the fog actually go again after a certain amount of time of course the more click you do the more fog there is , so the more time it takes to vanish.
I get this traceback:

when starting up on a win 2k box (it does have a sound card, but I don't know if it works). Hopefully this will be a quick fix to let the game run without sound if necessary.
Love the screenshots/movies seen so far though!
IMO more is better :)
The diaries have been too quiet for my liking ;)
More screens/gameplay descriptions/game specs/whatever! :)
