I can't seem to find a thread anywhere about Yahtzee's newest games that he's making for his "Dev Diary," project so I thought I'd start one here. :)

I've been playing the first one, Preflight Panic for the last couple of days and it's a fun little game and surprisingly challenging! (At least if you're trying to get all the achievements) Still, I'm pleased to say that I was able to gold star each of the 20 levels. :D

I did notice a few bugs, though. I mean I doubt that Yahtzee will ever come back to this to polish it up, since he's got 11 more of these to do, but I'll mention it here anyway for posterity, I guess. :)

If you pause the game after a passenger hits the call button, the warning times out as if the game was unpaused. This is especially a problem for the red-eyes, who will start shrieking while it's still paused and continue shrieking even if you exit to the menu and/or go to another level! (And continue the screen-shaking and slowdown effects)

Also, the game crashed after I succeeded at the "Connecting Flights" challenge. (I guess Yahtzee didn't expect anyone to be that good!) :D I'll copy/paste the error message here:

Code:

Would have been cool if you'd have linked to it 😜

Didn't know that there was already a downloadable build of it.

I agree! That would have been cool! :p In my defence, I've never created a thread on here before and I was afraid of being mistaken for a spammer or something, though since I'm linking to the Escapist, I guess they should be okay with it. :)

Anyway, you can download the game here. [http://distro.escapistmagazine.com/devdiary/prepan/devdiary1.zip] :)

Yeah i feel so awkward every video ends with an ad for the his development software. Like wow gee, I'm so glad I had X to help me create my totally original game in only 2 weeks. If only everyone else used X to make great games quickly the world would be better, according to me, Yahtzee, the solitary guy who made Silent Hill a good series because everyone who disagrees with me is a twat and Silent Hill 2 made me piss and shit myself when I was 10...

Just...he's so...blase. I love what he was, but the time on hating games people like/liking games people hate is just so...2012...
