In Topic: A very simple game

I put together an installer for this prototype. If you are interested, I hope you will give it a try.

 

I gave sound the usual short shrift just to give the ears something while the game is playing, otherwise the experience is suffocating.

 

At this point in development, I start looking for an artist to improve the look. In the meantime, try to minimize the macular degeneration by hurrying through the menu screen.

This is an XNA program. The installer was made using the default Visual Studio publish tool. Seems fine.

 

 

This page

has some directions and a link to the setup program. 

Id very much like to try it.

Is there gonna be just a zip file(extract and run) without installation?

ok so I installed it on another machine that was running win8, and I had the exact same problem that you mentioned. The window would pop up and instantly close.

A exception has bean thrown and not handled properly is probably what is happening.

MainMenu::MainMenu(sf::RenderWindow* rw) : Collision(rw)


 

I suggest you to study constructor initializer lists.

These two things, thanks!

Hello there,

First, i cant give really accurate answer from four images and a little info on the game runs how good the actual game is and therefore mark the games probability of being successful.

 

Do you think a game like this could find any players? Too basic?

It will find players, its something new, innovative, so it seems.

The problem is how long will it hold the players? How long till it bores player, constant loses? how long is the player willing to sink intro the game that has no actual end. What are the rewards of gameplay is what you should be looking intro.

Judging by the info provided i wouldn't give it much, but it surely has some potential

1: Thanks for the feedback. I have now replaced the executable with a .rar file.

If I post a project file then people who do not have visual c++ express will probably not be able to view the code or they'll have to go through the process of installing it

Good response:

The response seems legit enough, so i am gonna download... ( Had massive issues starting download :( )

Also what i meant is that i don't want "Installer" of a application, i keep my computer clean of random trash.
Id rather have already installed version, and download that, but that is my personal taste.

 

Regarding the installed game:

I installed the game. I run it, i see application window open for like 100miliseconds and then it closes without error...

Did you test the game you upload does it work?

 

Regarding the code:

If i couldn't open your project file. I would just open all the .cpp and .h/.hpp files and i would work with that in my editor instead of using the internet browser...

"I like to meat with fork, do you? i can eat it with spoon like you served me, but it would just bug me..."
