Hello!

One week to go, and I’ve hardly played anything. Thanks, college!

So, I plan to fix that this week, but in my own time. Other than that, I have a few announcements.

Primarily…

POTAT0WNED: THE REBAKE

After making the game, people seemed to generally enjoy the concept, but gameplay was awful.

And they’re right. The gameplay is awful.

I focused mainly on graphics this Ludum Dare; something I don’t normally do. I’m normally all about the systems, gameplay and code, but things went a little differently this time, and I spent more time working on graphics and sound, though I did create the POTATO SONG!

With the feedback I recieved and some extra time, I’ve been pouring my efforts into “Potat0wned: The Rebake”

You can visit the new WIP website, and/or play the new demo.

On the website, you can see a list of planned features etc, as well as what I’ve already done with the game. I was gonna put an example video up, but my recording stuff seems to be a bit haywire at the moment 😛

I’m not gonna go into detail on what I’ve done so far, you can check the website if you wanna know. In short: Graphics update, Gamepad stuff, android version, better controls/difficulty curve…. OH, AND YOU DON’T STOP MOVING WHILE YOU’RE THROWING POTATOES ANYMORE…

I have loads of new plans for the game (including a full OST), but there’s no point me adding them if nobody’s interested!

There’s only the one stage at the moment: the city. It’s quite a bit bigger and looks a bit nicer too, but nothing’s finished. Currently still only playable on survival mode.

I will definitely be adding the train again, as well as about 7 other stages. The train is my favourite.

YOU CAN STILL VOTE FOR/PLAY THE ORIGINAL GAME HERE!

Thanks a bunch!
