Adventures in Game Development

Post by Arce »

Okay, I'm not sure who of you, if any, on these forums have been keeping up with the game Via Youtube. Though these forums are where most of the game is planned out, it's easy (for me atleast) to forget that it's all in Private Development (a forum of which only game developers are allowed access)

Now that I think about it, there is so little talk of it on the public forums that a new member might not even know that there's a game in the making. So this topic is now officially dedicated to The Adventures of Game Development. Feel free to open discuss the game here and ask us, the developers, any question.

Yeah, I tried to list them all. As you watch them, notice how dramatically they change from Chapter 5 and forward. That's about when we stopped dicking around about our YouTube movies and decided to start putting a little more work into them.

For those of you who haven't watched them, tell me what you think.

I was thinking about stickying this, but I was afraid it'd get overlooked since we have a few stickies already. What do you think?

Hrm, maybe it should be stickied. I think the name will get enough attention.

I actually think that number 6 is our greatest work yet.

If you're going to watch any, make it that one. :wink:

I thought 6 was best until we did 8. 8 is pretty much the same ratio of fun to educational, just double the amount of content and more polish.

New video...8.5. Didn't have time for a real, full length chapter, so we scrounged one together just to say that we're working our asses off despite our lack of time to film/edit.

Enjoy. Tell us what you think...It's not like the main chapters, so lemme know if you think we should do more or less like this one.

8 because I had the most fun creating it, but I know people didn't like the Rock Banding as much as I did.

I would say the same....Except I looked dumb on drums. Not to mention I was playing Medium or something like that. =P

I'd rather have played base on expert how was planned.

To me, the most fun to create were 5 and 6...I guess because those two were the ones where I actually showed off my stuff via hypercam in the sped up parts during the music. I know those two were probably the 'worst' of the lot, as we didn't put much thought into them other than the sped up parts, but it was still fun to do. = )

I liked the part where you hit Peter with the drumstick.

Just watched part 8 again and, even though I'm still not a guitar hero fan, it beats the crap out of the other vid's.

Any idea on when the next one's coming btw?
I think pple could use some positive energy in this next one, I know I could :D

Yeah, i gotcha. 8.5 and 9 were gloomy, and didn't really even show off what we've been working on.

I think I speak for everybody when I say that we've all been working more than ever, despite our not having as much (yet) to show for it.

I think it's safe to assert that one will be made this coming weekend. And yes, we're out of our 3m0coreism phase. xD
