Forums - Gaming Discussion - I Made a Game! (Need feedback, please!)

Hey! So some of you will probably remember a post I made a year ago regarding a game i was working on, called Distance. I showed a trailer of the game and promised a release of Fall 2015. Welp, that never happened. But... I'm very happy to say I have finally completed work on that game, and it's now called Somewhere in the Distance! Here's a little description of my game:

Somewhere in the Distance is an adventure platforming game that focuses on a boy named Blu searching for this brother, who was taken by a man of questionable reputation. Join Blu on his quest as he braves challenging obstacles, and meets new friends (and foes) along the way, all while coping with the loss of someone special. 

This game contains traditional platforming gameplay with old school challenge and a thoughtful story, along with original sprite work and music. It took me three years to make this game, which is A LOT longer than I expected for a game like this!

Here's a link for more info. The game is COMPLETELY FREE, so if you want to play it, you can also download here:

I would really appreciate some honest feedback from you guys! Thanks a million!

Thats pretty cool yo

Have you tried submitting it to Steam Greenlight?

I actually strongly considered doing that! I'd love to do it sometime in the future, for sure!

Looking pretty cool! It reminds me of old Commander Keen games. I can't test it right now (I'm really, really busy trying to get something working in time), so sorry if this is answered with the download, but what did you create the game with?

I'm almost thinking he wants to pay for it. Quick, edit your post to have payment instructions for him!

I made it using Game Maker Studio. It's pretty good software for making these types of games!

Oh yeah, I've got that impression. Even some pretty successful games have been made with it (Hotline Miami comes to mind). When I was a kid, I tried making stuff with it and miserably failed, but it was fun anyway. I suppose the engine has come a long way since then.



Looks cool, I don't have time to try it right now (it's 1:30 am and I need to go to bed!) but I'll certainly give it a shot tomorrow!



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
