Took Fins out for a Walk!

Update #3 · Apr 27, 2012 · comment

Hi, all:

I'm excited to report that I had a chance to take Fins out for a walk at the Full Indie Spring Showcase last night (which was fantastic, btw; Vancouver indies, you sure make great games).  Hungry Fins is still an early build (i.e. a very rough but sort of playable version of the first level), but we had a tonne of positive feedback!  

It was really exciting to see people actually playing the game and having a chance to witness new impressions first hand (especially given how many times I've now played it).  People seemed to genuinely enjoy simply swimming Fins around and collecting items (hehe, just wait until I turn the Broccoli on).  After so much time knee deep in the code, it was awesome to have a reminder that, yeah, we're making something fun!

So there you have it-- early impressions are overwhelmingly positive, and I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.  I hope you are, too (and not because of what you had for dinner last night).

But enough of that, I have final grades to submit and then it's back to the fish bowl!  Happy Friday!

Kim out.
