Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

It's intended to be that way. That level is special
We've had some playtesters do that quite a bit too so we tried making it more difficult, but that ended up causing others to get frustrated with the game and rage-quit, lol. When you get around to playing on the hard difficulty, do let me know if you find it more fun/challenging because I personally think that that's the way the game should be played.

I don't mind explaining some of the design decisions we made related to any suggestions. We're planning on updating the game down the road so we definitely want as much feedback as possible to make the next iteration better!
Glad you like it!
Hard was absolutely much more fun, I had to actually think about what I was doing instead of just being able to spam through most fights and run away, haven't finished hard yet because I needed to sleep, but it was definitely an improvement for me.
A+ game. :^:
that's what I thought it was too
man
I would give anything for something like that
except without the asinine "humor" and the creature mechanic
I guess that's enough that I can leave it up and be helpful.
Hmm, but only 30.1 kB/s upload

You guys are amazing and the team's thrilled by the positive response!
any major dude will tell you
It's badass.
lol
It is quite a huge jump. We wanted to call it Insane and add another difficulty level in between and call that one hard instead... We'll look into that for our next update
I saw the concept art on the walls at DigiPen and I was like wtf your artists are SPOILING THE MARKET
Cause those are some pretty awesome textures and I love how the meshes are low poly and stuff but the texture work is really amazing, so hats off to the artists on the team.
EDIT: yes, I'm late. Sue me, I was busy

While the game is fun, and pretty different from most games I've played (at least as far as the gameplay mechanics go) I gotta wonder; Is this just your guys' way of testing the engine for a much bigger game down the line? I'm hesitant to believe you'd build your own engine just to give it away for free.
Not that the design seems extremely deep, but I have seen free games before that were just simpler versions of something else in the works.
The game is a student project so the engine we built was a requirement and unfortunately, our school owns the rights to all the work we've done for the game so we can't just use all of it for something else. It was intended to be a learning experience for all of us, not to mention the biggest project that any of us has been involved with so far. The engine is still good enough for us to push out more content for the game down the road and it's definitely something we're looking at doing over the next few months (maybe some kinda DLC, since that seems to be the trend these days
That said, we would really like the chance to develop something like this on a larger, professional scale if we get the chance. Maybe if Valve hires us to do it
EDIT: Happy New Year to everyone, by the way!
