LovepreetHere is the first (kind-of) trailer for Retool. It shows how to retool the levels to eliminate guards. The game is still in alpha and all the art and sounds are subject to be changed.
Sorry about the bad quality of the footage, OBS did not want to play nice.
The music is by Aaron Paul Low.
Remember, you can download the playable alpha version from GameJolt.
You can now download the first public playable build of Retool. For those who do not know, Retool is a game about hacking into computers to alter electronic item’s output, which is done by rewiring them to other electronic items. If you are still confused, then go download and play the build. It will help you understand the game 43% more than just this text.
Steam recently updated their refund policy allowing gamers to return any game, as long as it meets certain criteria (played the game less than two hours and owned it less than two weeks). If you don’t meet the criteria, you can still ask for a refund and Steam will manually approve or disapprove your refund request.
Or the full title ‘Why my first game will not be an instant success and why I am okay with it’.
Here is a 5-second video showing the Retool logo in action. It makes the game look 11% better than before.
This week I have worked on updating the GUI and lighting. The GUI and lighting I was using was mainly for test purposes. I have now updated them so the game is easier to understand and better to look at.
I have made a video showing the first playable version of Retool, and I do use playable in the loosest sense. In the video, I talk about the following points:
Drop me an email if you want to try out the practice level and give me feedback.
In my last post, I talked about how I wanted the AI to work in Bounty Hunter. I had a chance over the past week to implement the AI and found out something important… the game is not fun with smarter AI.
I have been working on Bounty Hunter for nearly two months now. So far, I have managed to create a player that can move and shoot, NPC that walks and runs from gunshots, and guards that chase and kill the player when they see him. Now I want to improve the AI of the guards. I am going to improve the AI of the NPC but at a later stage of development as they are not that important just yet.
Now I have been researching on how to make the AI feel more human and react better when they see the player, see a dead body, or hear some noise. Here are the things I will (try to) implement into the game to achieve my goal of better stealth AI.
I am trying to make a game… again. But this one I intend to finish unlike my first attempt.
