Hey everyone, we at Oointah are still working hard to improve Death by Game Show. Our goal is to have this patch live by the end of February. It would be fantastic if you guys could provide feedback on the following:
All challenges 1-50 have had text reductions on their background signs.
The help screen can be opened in the game show studio environment.
The game show hosts text has been refined for patch 1.03 voice-over implementation.
Consumable droids can be packed away with 51% HP or more.
Monetary rewards for gold, silver and bronze milestones have been increased.
The difficulty slider no longer reduces coin spawn rates when lowering.
The hook length has been shortened by 25% to remove the need to zoom out to grab.
The coins sink slower but vanish quicker encouraging haste when grabbing items.
When you complete a level all active buildings and consumable droids with adequate HP will automatically be packed away to inventory.
When a consumable droid with adequate HP hits an electric wall they will return to inventory.
When an energy droid hits an electric wall they recover energy for the player.
When left mouse or B is held for 2.5s all active droids will detonate. This will return to inventory with adequate HP or recover energy depending on the type of droid.
The Syringe power-up will now recover droid HP too.
The boxing glove and rocket power-ups will be positioned next to each other for quicker access.
When a player is in range of an attack the ground will glow red giving adequate warning to move or counter.
Challenges 40 to 50 difficulty reduction. [ 2016-02-15 10:46:06 CET ][ Original post ]
Welcome to Death by Game Show. A game of pop culture, decision making chaos and hidden parodies starring U.H.Wutt. A lead-footed tub of goo sentenced to rehabilitation in a time of droid tyranny and human ignorance.
Become the smarts behind Wutt’s rehabilitation, or as the fine print calls it “kidnap-come-illegal-trial-leading-to-banishment-and-death-sentence”. Fight back against the tyranny, free the minds of humanity and find freedom-for-all!
Twitch Strategy - Death by Game Show puts survival and success into your own hands. It’s not about power but how resourceful and reactive you can be. Can you think your way to victory?
The Learning Curve - Anyone can spawn a droid but can you do it while grabbing coins? ...placing buildings? ...spinning for loot? ...dodging attacks? Can you react decisively and win?
Customization - You can modify the game’s text, give the droids a paint job and build your own levels. Can you make and share the best via the workshop and win a prize?
Story delivery - In Death by Game Show the story is told through short social exchanges, battlecries and hidden messages. Can you cut through the BS and find the truth?
Satire - Death by Game Show is about fictional characters, in a fictional show within a fictional universe based on our satirical view of modern day life. Meanings, metaphors and parodies are everywhere but will you spot them?
Death by Game Show is still very much being refined and improved. Reach out to us via the discussions as we take all constructive criticism seriously.
