Zero Punctuation: The Game: The Demo 2

[Robin_Lyon]

Haha that was really fun.

Really simplistic and that made it very fun. I love the bit where one Nazi was one a lower platform and you can kill him with the crotch attack by effectively skull fucking him, very classy.

I loved the whole one hit one life thing too, have to get it right in one go.

Don't let yaself get disheartened by these tools looking for "1337 uber" game, I thought it was really fun. Fun is what counts.

Will be looking forward to seeing more than a demo!

Oh and all these posts about weapons being tossed around.

Speaking personally, I don't think you should have a "change weapons" type aspect to it; it'd be putting a length (even though a short length) of complication into something which has no business being complicated.

As far as feedback goes, I reckon you could make it so Yahtzee(ii) can only carry/wield one weapon at a time and that weapon changes when you walk over it:

e.g.
You currently have default hip thrust
You see Shuriken Lightning gun on floor/platform
You walk over Shuriken Lightning gun
Shuriken Lightning gun now replaces default hip thrust until you walk over different weapon (which would then replace Shuriken Lightning gun instead of simply adding to a list of selectable weapons) or until you die (dying and respawning at checkpoint then leaving you back with default hip thrust.)

You know?

I like that one post about making him JRPG style
Could make one level like that and make it sardonic, and he has to drag a giant sword around (literally drag, because it's too heavy to carry ) And have JRPG cut scenes every 2 or 3 paces, things like that.

But whatever you're going to do with it I'm sure you've already got a pretty good idea in your head, "the demo is suppose to convince you the game is good and make you want to play the full version." For me it did, so I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt that whatever you choose to do with it will be fun, Cappin' Invorta.


Weeeee long posts!

Heh, nice. A couple of friends and I were working on a "Why Humanity Fails to Understand My Genius" as a 16-bit game. We might start again

It was pretty good for the short time that I played, but one-hit kills? Come on!

EDIT: That was awesome, and funneh. I loved pressing the Fuck-You-Button. \o/
This is a really great start. Keep it up. ;}

Oh yeah, and remember, it's spelt Y-A-H-T-Z-E-E.

That one's intentional. As mentioned previously, Its a portmanteau of "Yahtzee" and the Nintendo Wii's "Mii" system. Sorry for the confusion.

Ah... oops.
Sorry.

 

[invorta]

Ah... oops. Sorry.

It's ok, it's a bit subtle. Alot of people missed it, so I should probably change it at some point.

 

[bodyklok]

Well I personally liked it. Sure theres a lot of work left to be done, but based on what I did play I'd say it was an OK platformer.

Third, fix the attack. Light shining out of your crotch is not an attack. Back handing Hitler's with either Yahtzee's hand (or cock) is a real attack.

I think all the enemies should be crap games and Yahtzee kills them by spewing bile at them, or by criticising them to death.

I sat for 5 minutes thinking of a good enemy and weapon.

You sir... ARE A GENIUS!

It took me around 10 seconds to think of that. I'm pretty good.

Wouldn't say 'genius' though.

In one of the early, early builds of the game the enemies were in fact walking video game boxes. You would not believe how incredibly dull, boring and lazy that actually looks.

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

This was quite fun but I can't get the other to gimmicks >.> I guess they unlock the last of the customising stuff ?

 

[Raddragon]

I find it...how would yahtzee say....perhaps "strangely compelling".

A bit too simple gameplay, needs a bit more stuff to spice it up, and i mean in terms of yahtzee's actions during gameplay (its just a demo, after all.)

Overall I like it. Don't stop now!


EDIT: I like the Yahtzee Creator.

Ok, when I'm prompted to hit the space bar, AKA "The Fuck You Button", I press it and nothing happens. Uber-Hitler is still walking around, other than that nothing.

Your suppose to press the spacebar while he is on the screen. Dont worry about his lazer vision it won't harm you. On other hand, his nazy shurikens will.

Seems like a fun game.

And generic Nazis don't look boring...?

 

[Soxafloppin]

He should review it!

 

[Zangamarth]

He should

 

[DigitalSushi]

Quite clearly needs a gun that shoots shurikens and lightning.

genius.

Right i'm fucking stuck on this game, I've search teh internets and I can't find a walkthrough on gamefaqs, how do I get past the nazi?

edit, he's not a Nazi, he's part of the village people.
