Hey fellow humans! :) My friends created this 'micro' adventure game. Its about a vigilante with time powers trying not to get shot in the head and It's now available on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2277670/Hank_Straightjacket/ Let me pass it on to Kuba - the games programmer - so he can tell you the story behind the game: Hey, everybody! Kuba from My Next Games here. Hows everyone doing in the new year? For us its been busy. Last month, weve won a for a video game prototype! (Im the guy in brown pants in the photo)
The competition was organized by CRPK Poland and we entered it with a proposal for a small point-and-click game - Hank: Straightjacket. Heres the story of how this little adventure game came to be: We were about to start working on a new dialog system for our main project - Hank: Drowning on Dry Land - and we wanted it to be a bit different. In a regular game when the conversation starts the game pauses - you talk to the character and youre basically unable to do anything else. We want to change this and allow players to interact with the world while still in dialogue. There are some challenges that stem from that approach, though. What happens if the player does something noteworthy during the conversation? Wouldnt it feel strange if the hero broke a piece of furniture and the npc didn't react to it? We had some ideas on how to tackle those problems but we couldnt be sure they would work without trying them out in an actual game. And so we went on a rapid prototyping spree
Two weeks and five gallons of coffee later we finally had a build and a working prototype of the system. As a side effect we created this tiny escape room experience. We were quite surprised that it was even playable! So, we called it Hank: Straightjacket and decided to release it as a free game. If youd like to - giving it a go! Hope you guys enjoy it and if youre interested in more Hanks adventure here the link to Hank: Drowning on Dry Land: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1937880/Hank_Drowning_On_Dry_Land/ Cya Around, Kuba

If you find Bulb Boy interesting maybe you would like They Breathe They Breathe is a critically acclaimed indie gem risen from the depths of Xbox Live Indie Games. In thirty short minutes, the game leaves it up to you to figure out every part of its increasingly bizarre universe, in order to survive the onslaught of unexpected creatures and ultimately comprehend their true nature. No matter how your descent to the bottom of the forest takes shape, it is guaranteed to give you the chills without a single word of dialog. Keep your eyes open, for there is darkness beneath the surface. And you're not at the bottom yet. In the first game by The Working Parts, a lone frog descends into the depths of a flooded forest, not yet knowing the full extent of its tragedy. To survive in a brutal, oxygen-obsessed ecosystem, you must help it see the patterns and hidden truths that make up the rules of the forest - horrible as they may be. Features Surreal atmosphere No hand-holding Hand-drawn HD art A story told through gameplay ''Making of'' feature ------------------------------- They Breathe is a short journey into the depths of a forest filled with water. As you swim deeper, it's up to you to figure out the rules of an insidious ecosystem where nothing is as it first seems, and where everyone is after the same precious resource – oxygen
