A built-in easy to use gif system could be a good way to help word of mouth. This is definitely a game that lends itself to gifs because of the variability in the way enemies can take damage and be killed with the voxel system. Today I'm thinking I'll spend some time doing something a little different and look at if I can make a fast system for capturing small screenshots frequently in a circular buffer to allow for an in-game animated gif replay maker thing. That was the last major combat mechanic that needed to get done before we could start tweaking the various enemy and weapon values to get the difficulty right. Different weapons block different amounts and can be damage when blocking attacks and possibly break. So yesterday was a pretty big day, we got a lot of the art and animation for special characters done and I got all new stuff the block system working. Some stats on the game jam version we've got from some rushed Google Analytics integration are that it has been started ~500,000 times and people have died ~800,000 times.ĭev Log 2 - Fun with Voxels and Dismemberment

No idea how that will translate to sales for the full game though. I've also been surprised to find that it regularly sits in the top 5 most popular games on itch.io even almost a year after it was released. The game jam version received a lot of attention on Youtube (Pewdiepie, etc) so hopefully the same is true for the full version. We might try and set an embargo for the day of release just so if there are any popular videos the viewers can actually get the game before they forget about it. We're close enough to finished for this release and could put it out next week, but the plan is after lots of testing, tweaking and polishing to get the release version locked down a week early and get it out to Youtube channels and game sites a 2-3 days early so that there might be some attention at launch. We made Paint the Town Red and it was greenlit and now we're close to releasing it in Early Access (October 13).įreshly printed and spilled upon release countdown calendar
GAMEJOLT PAINT THE TOWN RED FULL VERSION
We then decided we'd try doing the same thing again for the 2014 7DFPS game jam but this time with an idea we'd actually enjoy making a full version of if people wanted it. We didn't really want to make a full game from that idea, but we suffered through it and got something decent out the door.
The short version is that we (South East Games = 2 man team) made Probably Archery for the 7DFPS game jam in 2013, it was fairly popular so we got a full version greenlit and made that. You can read about the genesis and development of the game up to this point in my first Dev Log here, and I've recently posted the second blog which goes into some more detail on the voxel based characters.
You'll need to use your wits, speed and anything you can get your hands on in epic bar fights, disco brawls, old west saloon rumbles, college frat house beat-downs and a lot more.I thought I'd start posting smaller incremental dev updates on Paint the Town Red here since at the moment the dev blogs I'm posting on my site have been larger and serve to retroactively get things up to date with the current state of development. The voxel-based enemies can be punched, bashed, kicked, stabbed and sliced completely dynamically using almost anything that isn't nailed down. Paint the Town Red is a chaotic first person melee combat game set in different locations and time periods. They claim in the game description that future levels will be based on ideas from the community, so, if you have a particularly sadistic idea, it's very likely that they will be interested to know it. Personally, I always prefer to wait for the full release to buy games, but, of course, this article was meant for those who would want to play it in its current state, and get involved in the development by giving feedback to the developers. It has been for a few months on Early Access, and according to user reviews on its Steam Store, the game promises to become something really fun and interesting.
