Title: Star Sky - A game that looks a lot like NightSky
Post by: sergiocornaga on April 26, 2011, 11:24:03

I'm afraid it's not free. I also haven't played it! But I thought some of you might enjoy playing this, or at least talking about it. (http://www.jm-j.com/starsky.html)

I'm certainly curious; and I guess a couple of quid isn't a lot to ask...
I'll have to consider it but thanks for the link. It looks interesting, at least  :huh:

I played it. I like the atmosphere, although sometimes it can get a tad too kitschy. but it's nice and serene, quite like night sky. only a bit less challenging. :P
Nifflas is listed in the credits, too. :D

now I only need to unlock one last thing... :shifty:

Paula, how's the character movement? On the video the animation and the displacement don't quite match, looks like the guy is walking on a moving floor. Is it like that in the actual game as well?

It's really nice to hear that the author credited Nifflas with the inspiration!

actually Nifflas is credited for the grass animation. :P

Whoops :oops:

and the movement animation...it's not perfect, but didn't bother me all that much actually. it's not a huge mismatch, I'd say. but I might not be as perfection-seeking as others. :P2

Hi

I'm the creator of Star Sky. Thanks for the comments Paula, you seem to have understod it perfectly:) It's not inspired by NightSky though, infact I was making it before I'd seen any footage of that game. The inspiration was a series of pictures I found on DeviantArt (like http://no-land-surprises.deviantart.com/gallery/24355400#/d30lq5k (http://no-land-surprises.deviantart.com/gallery/24355400#/d30lq5k) and http://no-land-surprises.deviantart.com/gallery/24355400#/d2q40y4 (http://no-land-surprises.deviantart.com/gallery/24355400#/d2q40y4)). I do find it annoying that the names of the games are so similar though.

That's really unlucky...
