Knytt Underground / Game lost me in the first 3 minutes
« on: March 13, 2013, 04:30:40 »
I think the game looks and sounds great, but the postmodern hur hur we know it's a game and here's the creator thing pissed me off. If there's one easy way to break immersion the moment you walk into a game - that's it. Otherwise looked quite splendid.
Unfortunately Sword and Sworcery did the same thing, turning what should've been a beautiful experience into something cheap.
Thoughts?

Other Free Games / [Horror/Platformer] AOOFAD & Au Sable
« on: March 15, 2011, 13:49:44 »
If goth poetry came alive, it would look and play like this.
Viscerally horrible, and beautiful/freaksome.
Best music/sound I've seen in indie gaming.

Not for faint of heart.

Both games here:

I recommend playing All of our friends are Dead first.
The author had nightmares and basically used them as inspiration to write these games-

AAOFAD:



Au Sable...

Other Free Games / e7: Moody action physical platformer

If you have flashblock it's downloadable.

Wonderful little platformer, atmospheric, physics-oriented but not in a stupid way, graphics very reminiscent of Nightsky or Knytt.

Proper review:

NightSky / Minor bug, mega review
« on: March 05, 2011, 06:40:16 »
Minor bug:
The first star in perpetuum factory cannot be reached if you do not play into that level from  the previous level, as you powers (speed up/slow down) will not be available.

Mega review:
Good game, nice graphics, felt more technical than exploratory which is not really what you want for an atmospheric game like that. The gameplay was nice and felt balanced, where you could actually solve the whole game without thinking TOO hard, and there were genuinely various methods you could use to solve or fluke each puzzle. I liked that - it wasn't a 'one right answer' type of game, and the physics enabled that...
music beautiful,
'plotline' felt tacked on and a little transperant, particularly the end sequence, which while prettyjust felt ridiculous. Otherwise a great game. Enjoyed thoroughly.

Development Showcase / 3 albums for free/donation to the Christchurch NZ Earthquake 2011 Rescue fund
« on: February 24, 2011, 10:21:08 »
For those who haven't heard about the tragedy:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-earthquake/4694061/In-their-words-Stories-from-Christchurch

I now have three albums available for donation/free(enter $0 to get free):

Poprocktictacs - A 14-song pop/rock/folky album including the incredibly cheesy but well-meaning song I wrote for the Feb 2011 earthquake victims, "Hang in there". Plenty of lilting guitars & plaintive vocals.

Soul by XOlve - A 16-song retro-electronica album with no vocals but plenty of WTF. References include NiN & Uziq.

Songs to go to Sleep to by One Fatal Punch - A 16-song aggressive-industrial/alternative-rock album with plenty of AARG and rage, shades of Nine Inch Nails & KMFDM.

All proceeds go to the Red Cross Christchurch Earthquake 2011 relief fund.

Listen and enjoy, or download.
I have only one thing to ask if you get any of the albums for free, if you end up liking it, consider a donation to the red cross at the above link.
Cheers,
M

NightSky / Nightsky History
« on: February 23, 2011, 00:52:18 »
Can't spot anything, does anybody know what happened here?
Originally for Wiiware, left to rot for several years, now on PC but not on steam?
Ostensibly by Nifflas, but opening credits show it as a Nicalis game?
Whassamadawitchu?

FiNCK / Have I finished (spoiler-heavy)?
« on: August 15, 2010, 11:11:36 »
This is the best game since Knytt stories. Thank you Nifflas.
Certainly more enjoyable than Saira-
shows you that enjoying the development of a game is as important than developing a 'good game'-

Only problem with Nifflas games is the continual feeling that maaaaybe you didn't quite find everything...

Spoiler: what I found (click to show/hide)
have I found everything there is to find in this game?
