Hi so I'm making this dumb game called Wyv and Keep, where you play as a pair of treasure hunters that solve a bunch of puzzles that are between them and a pile of treasure. It looks like this:  We're getting ready to release it on Steam in the next couple of weeks, because we managed to somehow convince a bunch of people that our tripe was good enough to be sold alongside quality entertainment products such as Secret of the Magic Crystals and Farming Simulator, and so I've been hard at work So anyway I need people to help break my lovely code. If you post in this thread I'll PM (or email) you a Steam code for Wyv and Keep, as long as you promise to post here and tell me why it sucks. Or don't promise, whatever, i'll give you one anyway. edit: game's released, no more freebies sorry goons. Thanks for helping! Texmo fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Aug 9, 2014 |

1: Because I am a dumbass and broke the map editor and don't want to fix it until I can add steam workshop and stuff into it, and that website really does need an update doesn't it? 2: Because I am a dumbass and probably sent you the same code as I sent to someone else so hang on

voltron lion force posted:I played the game for about an hour just now and I liked it. The art is well done and the sprites are cute and its cool how you get different dialog when you read the notes with either character. Still early, but the puzzles seem to be easing me in well enough. One thing is I got a stuck on 2-4 for a bit because I didn't get that bombs can also be used as platforms. I dunno maybe throw a note in there about that. Also, please switch the jump and swap character buttons as my finely honed gamer reflexes constantly make me press space to jump. I will probably play more tomorrow and give me further impressions. Thanks for the code btw. Check the options menu, you can customize the keys. Also, thanks for the feedback

blakelmenakle posted:There seems to be an issue with the secret level in Earheart's Alcove (1-8). After beating the secret level (1-S), the next level number doesn't reset, so the game thinks I'm still in the secret level even with the new level loaded. When I restart the level, it takes me back to the secret level and when I beat the new level, it just reloads it from the beginning when I try to continue. nftyw posted:I had a weird bug where after dying in stage 1-S over and over and then finally completing it with as much loot as I could get away with, the next stage 1-9 was listed as 1-S and completing it just started the stage over again. I had to get out of there to the world map to make things better. Dammit I thought I'd fixed that secret crap. Thanks for the heads up.

nftyw posted:Also it is kinda funny to see Wyv start going into his idle pose and have tears gushing from nowhere when Keep got speared. More of a small time graphical bug though. I should probably take this out, but I don't really want to, because funny. Ryuga Death posted:I'm playing the game with a 360 pad, but the controls for the keyboard show up for the tutorial tips. Is that normal? Yes, and it's mostly because I'm lazy. That's something we really ought to have though, so will probably add it in sometime soon.

nftyw posted:Oh, it happened again. I beat 2-S by mistake and selected "restart" and it moved onto the next level while still thinking it's stage 2-S. I think I've fixed this; just pushed an update to Steam, so either it'll show up on it's own in the next hour or so, or you can restart steam to get it now. Of course, having done this, I'm sure I'll have just broken ten other things in the process, becuase 'pro' gramming.

Shlapintogan posted:Played for a little bit. The game is very fun, but man, these time ratings are harsh. I feel like I'm speeding through levels and still end up with a silver or stone rating. I guess I'll have to try harder! That's a good point actually; I'll do something about that later on if I can figure out how to make it straightforward. And you're right about the brutal par times, I think i'll have a word to Beau (our puzzle designer) about those. nftyw posted:Hmm maybe you should add some details in tutorial pages on some of these stages, maybe have that explorer dude write about his assistant who he uses to shove the box over. Also same with the dynamite in 2-4 since you use it in such a unorthodox way there. You've got a point there, and while I'm opposed to taking the modern game rout and telling the player how to solve the puzzles (thereby removing all satisfaction), it's not immediately obvious that they can be used like that, so... we'll figure something out

I presume he wants you to only have one go at the stage which is a horrible idea because they are harder than diamond-encrusted dinosaur poo poo. No you're supposed to be able to retry them, I'm just a lovely coder (see OP) and so they do some bogus stuff Texmo fucked around with this message at 06:46 on Jul 19, 2014 |

Kaubocks posted:Hey so I actually am currently doing QA for a living and wouldn't mind futzing around with your game for a bit. Some other friends of mine are also making a video game and I managed to break it so bad it wouldn't even launch anymore and it took a couple of days to fix. One of my buddies (who also did QA for a while) apparently already got a code from you so we'd be able to test out multiplayer! Make sure he's got a steam code - any of the versions elsewhere are heinously out of date because I'm a pro slacker. If he doesn't, I'll send you another one. Also this is mostly a free-poo poo-for-goons thing, since lurking SA has provided me with many years of entertainment. Any bug reports are a bonus, so don't feel pressured or anything.

Okay there's a new build up on Steam; I've added in xbox button prompts and some stuff telling you about changing controls in the pause menu, thanks for the suggestions. Also, yeah, the secret levels are intended to be insane hard challenge levels. Whether or not this is a good idea I don't know, but it's something.

DACK FAYDEN posted:I would definitely put Options on the main menu, even if you don't want anything but the control-changing in there. Can't speak for anyone else, but it's usually the first thing I do when I open a new game. Gonna do this, because you're right and it's a good idea and i'm just lazy. It'll take a while to do though so probably won't see it today.

Unlucky7 posted:Forgive me if this is minor at best, but there is an early game tutorial message that comes up that instructs you on how to restart if stuck. It first tells you to press start, but afterwords there is no message (That I have seen) that appears to instruct to select restart. Anyone who has ever played a game would know how to do this implicitly, yes, but it jumped out at me. Good point; small oversight there. I've changed the text to say more or less "open menu and choose restart to try again". Cheers!

Jordan7hm posted:I'd like to give it a shot and post back with results. Online multiplayer -should- work, i've been doing a lot of fixins there. So, in other words, it will probably fail spectacularly if anyone so much as sneezes on it. Heatwizard posted:On 3-6 I had the girl pick up the journal page, and she had an extended discussion with herself; both sets of dialogue bubbles pointed to her, whilst the guy frantically flailed and changed expression in the background. Interesting about 3-6, I'll look into that - thanks! I kinda feel that having to press a button every time you push something would make the game really cumbersome to play. There's a good half-second you need to be shoving a box before it'll move, which I figured was enough leeway  edit: okay I am going to sleep now, I'll fulfill any new code requests after I wake up.

nftyw posted:I'm not sure how the multiplayer online thingy is supposed to work. Is it something you're still Naw, you just go into online and start a game with someone else if there's anyone around. Steamworks is for the map editor, where there'll be cloud saving/sharing of maps. Most likely you'd have to organize a game with someone, and although there is text chat, something like skype or ventrilo is a much better tool for arguing with your partner and calling them a moron.

Okay, dished out codes to all posters ( edit: except for the two of you who posted inbetween when I loaded the thread and when I sent out keys, who now also should have one ) and noted the bugs - thanks everyone, keep 'em coming! Let me know if I've missed anyone. We've settled on August 1st as our release date, so I'll be handing out codes to goons that want them until then.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Good Advice These are good advice! Can't promise I'll get to all of them, but I've made a note of this stuff, thank you! Delizin posted:Okay, finished my first play session. Made it to somewhere in zone 5 I think. Past all the lava and stuff. The game was fun and challenging at times. However I did manage to break it after quitting and trying to continue from my savegame. I was sent back to level 2-1 and ended up with this: Oh crap, that's... quite bad, really. You can edit your save file to hack your way back to where you were, though also checking save.sav.old might be an idea. I think perhaps saving games in a separate thread is a bad idea and I'm going to stop doing it. Did you quit through the menu, or just hit X to close the game? That might have something to do with it (although it shouldn't), and would be helpful to know. Really sorry about that, and incredibly glad you caught it - you may have saved thousands from the same fate

Griefor posted:When first booting it up the main menu cursor was at continue, which was not disabled so I chose that and kept mashing confirm to get into the game. I later found out that this somehow started me at level 2-1. I had some trouble figuring out 2-4, first because I didn't know what I could do with a bomb (no jumping and your guy is 2 squares tall, so you can't fit through 1 square holes). It took me a while to figure out that you can use a character holding a bomb as a 2 square plateau to push blocks over, that wasn't clear to me - and you can't really play around to much with a character holding a bomb because if you leave them for more than a few seconds they explode. whooops, it looks like I have done a stupid (again), ran the .exe from the steam build folder so it uploaded the save game I had in there. Deleted that, thanks for spotting that! It does seem a lot of people are having trouble with that particular walk-over-the-bomb puzzle though, might be something we can do to communicate that they can be walked over.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:The bonus level with the bouncy springs has some serious desync issues -- also, possibly related, the bombs at the top of the map sometimes go off by themselves. (Assuming that isn't just the result of the desync itself, I mean.) Could you describe a bit more about what you mean by a desync? Like if it happens with boxes being in the wrong position, existing for one person but not the other, the game not restarting/etc for one person? nftyw posted:Oof, I loaded up the game after not playing for awhile and it no longer had my old save. No problem, just sped through the levels until I reached the first stage where you have to cut the rope holding up some crates, I jumped on there, hit control and crashed to desktop. That, I have never encountered - could you PM me the error.log? I've tried getting this to happen and haven't succeeded. dragoat posted:We tried it a few more times and found that even if we timed it verbally with each other I would push it onto his head and he would immediately drop down as if the block disappeared. Then I got a "waiting for partner" text, and shortly after that "partner has quit" just got overlaid without the first disappearing as shown More or less because Crappy Netcode, which i'm working on this weekend again. Who needs a life anyway?  And yeah the save-being-deleted was due to me being a dumbass and playing the copy in the upload-to-steam folder, which caused it to create a save file, which Steam then uploaded and overwrote onto everyone elses and I'm really sorry about being such a moron. You can edit your save file to skip levels you've already beaten, or just run through the existing ones real fast and get good scores, idk.
