Gameplay Footage!

Update #3 · Feb 11, 2013 · 4 comments

Some of you folks wanted a closer look at the demo's gameplay footage.  So here it is! Check it out:

GAMEPLAY VIDEO

This is a small sample of what we'll implement, and just in one style. We'll work with the community on their favorite art styles -- this one's Retro, like old '50s cartoons. That's the whole idea behind World Themes in WORLDS OF WANDER: for example, you do a bunch of levels, but then decide you want to switch from, say, Retro Cartoon to Space Adventure. With one change, all the graphics on all the levels change! It's that easy.

Thanks for watching!  We want to make the best platform game creator there is (WORLDS OF WANDER) and an awesome game in it (SECRET SPACESHIP CLUB) and build a Community Portal around it for hosting everyone's creations! Because we want to play what you make. Seriously.  This is really important to us -- to let people easily play and create, anywhere they are.  Please join us for this fun project. We're gonna make some awesome games together!

SPREAD THE WORD!

If you would, take a moment to like our Facebook Page, and follow @ThatTomHall and @PiecesOfFunNews on Twitter! Thanks for your support! It means a lot!

Also, spread the link to our Kickstarter wherever you can. We want to make this game creator and game for you! Let's make it happen! (Here's the short URL: http://kck.st/11Bbfl2 )

Thanks everyone! Your support and help is much appreciated. You are helping us make this happen!

MEET WILLIE WANDER!

Update #2 · Feb 9, 2013 · 3 comments

We thought you'd like to meet one of our main characters this update -- the one and only.... WILLIE WANDER!

Willie has led a boring life in the boring town of Borington, recently married to the rather un-boring Sheila Wander. His life is about to change in crazy ways as he and Sheila do the what-they-thought-would-be boring task of moving Sheila's Grandpa in the old folks' home. Soon they will be in OUTER SPACE... SAVING THE GALAXY!  They will the newest members of the SECRET SPACESHIP CLUB!

Willie will have a variety of qualities and things he can do:

  • Skin tone choosable
  • Normal, happy, sad, mad, afraid states. What emotional state you are in determines your abilities...who you can interact with and how you interact with them!
  • Can walk, jump, wall slide, climb, sidescoot, shoot, die, brachiate, BumbleBounce, and other contextual anims as appropriate to each Emotion mode (more on THAT in another update!) One secret special anim unique to him (To be announced!)
  • Have mouth-animation system for in-game comments/cutscenes. (overlaid mouth like 60s cartoons!)

Join us for the next update -- SHEILA WANDER!

Thanks so much for tuning in, and all the support so far!  You all rock.

NEW TIERS! JUST THE GAME AND MORE EARLY BACKING!

Update #1 · Feb 5, 2013 · comment

Hey there folks! Been a great first couple of days!

We are listening to your feedback, and have added two new tiers!

"JUST THE GAME, PLEASE" TIER: $15

This is for folks that just want SECRET SPACESHIP CLUB when it comes out.  You don't get the editor, and thus you don't get to check out other folks' games, but if you just want the downloadable game, here it is!

IT'S STILL EARLY BACKER TIER: $25

The EARLY BACKER filled up so fast, we decided to expand it for other folks that missed the sweet deal!

There you go!  We are here to make the easiest-to-use editor ever, and a really fun platform game in the spirit of Keen!  Let's do this! :) Talk to ya soon!
