I bring you something I've been working on for the past couple of weeks, and that I finally finished just moments ago. It's a game with a very simple concept, and a very simple name as well: "Stroll".
The idea of this game came to me while I was watching the sky in my roof a couple of weeks ago, the day I finished my exams. I was finally calm, after all that stress... I could finally breath. So I wanted to make a game- a simple game, something just relaxing and simple.
I kept watching the sky for a long time, and then the exact idea came to my mind: Pinkie in a stroll along a big, big valley. That was it.
"It's avery bad idea for a game", I said to myself. "But still, I want to make it".
And so, I started this project, with that idea in my mind, that imaginary picture...
It may sound weird... but this game is just about exploring. You have no objectives, you can't interact with anything... you just have Pinkie, and a big 2D platformer-like valley to explore.
Can I call this an "Art Game"? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_game)
Anyway, I won't explain any further details about it, because I want you (if interested, of course) to experience the game yourself. You might like it or you might not, but still, I'm really glad I did this, and I'm very satisfied with the results... that's all that matters, isn't it? :)
Here's the download link for those interested: http://www.mediafire.com/?uca0ag94satx9u6
And thank y'all a lot for your time, everypony.
looks great I will try it
ReplyDeleteIt's actually very fun and relaxing, but I gave up after falling off the floating platforms one time too many. This game requires more patience than I have. It is also a little odd to hear the background music jumbled up, with the sound of the wind and birds in the caves, and so on.
ReplyDeleteI luffles this.^^
ReplyDeleteRan into Fluttershy by a big tree. Loving this game.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it immensely. It seems like it could be the basis for a really awesome game... I mean it seems almost metroidvanian. If there were some things that could help you explore and some interaction... I dunno. I'd hate to have you work even more, because it IS beautiful just as it is... I just feel like there's potential.
ReplyDeleteSimply fantastic. You did well on the trickier jumping portions. It's hard, but not too hard, and the reward of finding various characters is excellent. It's soo cute too! Very peaceful, and one of the few pony games that really captures the show well. <3
ReplyDeleteIt;s really nice....very calming and having Pinkie lie down is so cute...some character interaction would make it even better IMO, but still awesome job!
ReplyDeleteNOOOOO it's not a mac-compatible game D:
ReplyDeleteAnyway it looks amazing. I wish I can play it
Found a bunch of Pinkies in an underground pool. Don't know where to be scared or relieved to know that the Pinkies from Too Many Pinkie Pies are having fun being stuck in a flooded, underground cave with no interaction with the outside world... Yeah. Definitely scared.
ReplyDelete@anonymous don't worry I'm pretty sure that's just a bug. It does have nice work, although I suggest using custom sprites for games.
Deletealicornfluttershy
Its great!
ReplyDeleteA good improvement will be it saves the spot where you are and maybe the night/day cycle.
Yo I just wanted to let you know that this is really awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI want to know what programming language (or what program) did you use for this?
could you add other ponys to play as. like rainbow dash
ReplyDeletethis looks amazing. im soooo gonna play it!
ReplyDeleteIs there a way to make it mobile friendly coz ive tried dl to my galaxy s2 but wont work plz let me no if u can or make a game like it for mobile plz
ReplyDeleteSorry pal, but no, my games only work for Windows, sadly. The engine I use doesn't let me export to other platforms.
Deletethis games looks like a scare game, like i found some arrows to >>> that lead you going backwards due to jumps Fluttershy looks like very sad, and also a lot of pinkie pies in a underground cave its like pinkie was playing around and something really bad happened in the city and you need to find the city, i don't know but i take 3 print screens :S ( sad fluttershy: http://prntscr.com/2gawv8 ; Lot of animated pinkies (they're moving btw) : http://prntscr.com/2gaxga ; a troll arrow that made me go backwards on the end >:( : http://prntscr.com/2gaxud
ReplyDeletei cannot download this the mediafire doesnt work for me
ReplyDeleteI know this is super late, but I so far have found Fluttershy, the Pinkie Clones, Derpy, Lyra and Bon Bon, and Applejack (oh and a strange statue thingy), I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to find Zecora and Twilight Sparkle (any advice at all would be welcome).
ReplyDeleteI've also found Big Mac & Rarity myself but she's tough to find. Look for grey crystals that's all I can remember, I'm not sure I'd be able to reach her again...
ReplyDeleteIn order to find Twi, you need to take a blind jump somewhere on the very left and stick to the wall while falling; you'll get to an entry that will lead you to both Twilight and Big Mac if I remember correctly.
Also, I'm godd*mn sure there's RD somewhere; I've found a large group of clouds somewhere going on the left but I haven't found her yet.
I won't die till I finally get to her (I may need to try and draw a map however -_-).
Alright, I just spawned next to her lmao! Rarity's in a cave but you pals can only reach her from the top, you need to deliberately fall in a hole. The dark crystals show you the way!!
