Puzzle. Puzzle? Puzzle! Is Too Hard
entrager | 1:51 PM on 01.28.2009 18 comments


I managed to get a build of Puzzle. Puzzle? Puzzle! together last night, but decided not to release it for playtesting because it's too damn hard! I have a couple ideas about how to improve it. I'll try to get those implemented today and release it in the next few hours. If I can't get it done, I'll just put forth the hard version.

Several people expressed interest in playtesting. I'd like to keep it to around 5 people right now. Those people, unless I don't hear from them, are: Nademagnet, Affable Robot, GOS-CPT-Stewart, Scary Womanizing Pig Mask, Tubatic, and The Bez. I need all those people (except Nademagnet) to email me at entrager [at] gmail [dot] com so I can get the playtest to you.

If anyone else is interested, please email me. It's not possible to distribute a game that can be played on an XBox 360, unless you have an XNA Creator's Club account. The playtest is a Windows build. I believe the only requirement is Windows XP SP2 or higher. You *should* be able to use a USB XBox 360 controller to play it, but I don't have one to test that with.

A few notes based on comments from my other posts:

On punctuation: I know it's supposed to be Puzzle! Puzzle! Puzzle! I came up with Puzzle. Puzzle? Puzzle! I like it, and Chad and Colette both thought it was funny. For now, that's what I'm going with.

On music: Aurion commented on my first post about the project offering some Korg DS-10 music. Do want! Please email me. Anyone else that wants to offer 8-bit (or maybe 16-bit) music, please let me know.

On art: I could use a hand with some sprites. If anyone wants to volunteer their help, it would be appreciated.

That's it for now. I look forward to hearing from playtesters.

I don't use windows, but if I did, I would LOVE to try out your game. I'll for sure download it when it comes out on Xbox!

Aw. I'm no an XNA creator, and I don't have a PC or anything (Mac user). Puzzle on!

I think the fact that the name is Puzzle. Puzzle? Puzzle! Is amazing and should have some gameplay elements incorporated as such. For example. First part of puzzle is identifying that it is in fact, a puzzle. Second part of the puzzle is to recognizing the puzzle element of the puzzle. And finally the last part is to the solve the puzzle.

I for one would like to test it out. I will PM you with e-mail. :)

Once I feel like it's pretty enough to not instantly turn people off to it. Maybe in a week or two?

I haven't received your email, perhaps it's just delayed. If you don't hear from me by tomorrow morning send me another.
