Hi everyone, first time i post here. I started using Gamesalad like a few days ago or something and i just wanted to give you a sneak-peak of my intro for my new mobile game. Sorry for the bad quality on the video. I can mention that it's a little puzzle game. Thank you for checking out this post, let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Here is my little space hero:

    looks very nice indeed, make sure you get good music in this, art direction is good i likes sword and sorcery a lot (albeit i haven't finished it yet)

    Something very human about the approach and feel. Start to wonder about the story after just watching a few seconds. As far as the graphics go, stay with that feel. Its very cool and strong. I would love it if you even built your own font- either bitmap or something with a handcrafted feel to match the in game graphics (ifontmaker or www.fontstruct.com if you fancy it).

    good luck and please keep us updated. kipper

    I really like the look of this game, it does make you interested to find out more.. Keep going..

    I have to agree :) this is really cool graphics. Love the main character. Looking foreward to see what kind of puzzle game this will be. Gamesald games needs more design like this ;)

    The graphics and overall tone to the game is really nice. I hope you finish it.

    Question - How are you handling the text? Are you using a table or having loads of displayText behaviors?
  • WildThing630WildThing630 Member Posts: 107
    Yeah that definitely looks cool, i can't wait to see more!
  • powkiepowkie Member Posts: 63
    Hey everyone, first of all thank you for all the awesome comments, i get even more hungry to complete it even faster now. I bought a apple dev license today, mostly after receiving so many nice comments from you guys and really wan't this game up and running as quick as possible (without any lack of quality).

    @old_kipper, I'm thinking of creating my own font now. ifontmaker looks like an awesome program. Ill keep that in mind! If it won't end up in the first release it def will be a gfx update in a later update. Also i must admit, the story might be the best thing about this game, that's why its such an important part for me, i haven't decided how to build it up yet, but I'm thinking of making a "scene" every 10 track or something where you speak to the spaceman - more on that later.

    @tynan, thanks for noticing my typo, it's fixed. Thats what happens when you work at the project at night time. Haha.

    @HappyKat78, Currently im not using any displaytext behaviors. I'm new to this, it's my first game but displaytext behavior is when you use the "supported fonts" where you type the text in a text field right? If it is like that, i use none of them :) I cut all the sentences out, for numbers i've cut out 0 - 9 in 10 separate images.

    I will try to update you guys as soon as i have something done, currently I'm working on the "settings" menu.

    Thanks!

    @beefy_clyro, thank you very much :)

    I created a new artwork for the number shown. What color would you pick, blue or pink?

    i dont know, i like them both. i think blue might match space a little more but purple is definitely more dramatic.

    No problem.

    I would leave it how it is. i.e. Player 1 pink, Player 2 blue.

    @beefy_clyro - Agreed, I'd have one blue and one pink!

    looks awesome, love the artwork. wish i had an intro like that on my game a long way home :)
    the music really goes a long way to help set the mood, if you have not already, i suggest you set aside some funds to have something composed for you. most people i have found online will do a minute of music for $30-40. You could give them that S&S song for inspiration.

    @jonmulcahy thank you for the kind words! I already got the music done for the intro, it's composed by Mixie if you heard it on the latest video i posted? I just love how it turned out! Mixie is my buddy for music so i won't be spending money on that. Thanks for the tip though!

    Hey everyone! I've been working a lot of the menu/HUD in general, also designed a new logo for Spaceman. I also re-design the art-work when playing and it turned out awesome! I'm going to try to create a new video as soon as i implanted the new artwork into the game. Meanwhile here is a little "layer preview" of the intro. Stay tuned :)

    PS. created the jpg preview quickly and discovered that it had a lot of spelling errors and such but no time to edit that! back to game development.
  • powkiepowkie Member Posts: 63
    Graphic updates, huge improvement! Shame that the detailed isn't visible. Also this where added after the video where made:

    @powkie ... hate to say it but i kind of preferred the original logo... not sure if its because we can't see detail or not but i think it looked more professional...having said that i really want to see gameplay now! whens it coming??
  • powkiepowkie Member Posts: 63
    @SAZ_1 yeah the details is awesome, shame it's not possible to see. You going to like it when you see it in Full HD ;)
  • gotyoursgotyours Member Posts: 246
    cool
  • powkiepowkie Member Posts: 63
    @gotyours thank you!

    On another note here is a little teaser of my level setup. After the 10 first levels you will have your first conversation with the Spaceman, this one will not affect the game (as for now) but the rest of the conversations def will and i know just what to make out of it.

    A lot of changes has been made. To the better! New ui, easier to navigate with the iPhone (buttons where a bit to small before) and much much more. Sorry for just being "weird" when i speak during this video but it's really late... Let me know what you think!

    Thanks!
