As the title says… we are only one week away from Flip being available on Steam. The game has been finished for a while, and we have focused on fixing bugs, enhancing the audio and adding more translations. So head out now for the store to add it to your wishlist!
I wanted to keep this under the radar, but it got out through RPS.
I started working on the concept for another puzzle game, inspired by the art style of Mondrian.
It’s about matching colors and clearing out a board. I’m still working out how the mechanics should really work, but there is some core stuff already implemented. A short gameplay video should give you an idea of how it works:
Although I’ve been mostly silent in this blog, lot’s of things have happened. The game is now in beta testing and cleared for a release on Steam on 16.02.2016 (or Feb. 16th 2016, for those who prefer the month first).
The official page has been updated and we have a new Gameplay video. You can see how the game looks from the video and page. I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from the new artwork, so I’m happy I decided to change it.
The music is new, also, and it’s being made by one Jeremy Coubrough from NZ, who’s taking the play experience to a whole new level with a complete new sound design.
The Steam store page will be online in a few days, as we already have clearance for launching it. This makes me nervous, but very happy at the same time. So now, the only thing that remains is to STAY CALM AND DON’T PANIC before release. Working hard on that!
This is an almost exact copy of an announcement in Greenlight.
Flip was greenlit a week ago, but I have not yet managed to write anything yet.
The game is already finished and was actually released on other channels a year ago, but I’m considering improving it on some areas, including:
This are just the main points, many more things can be improved. I’ll be working during the follow months on this points and others, and would be more than happy to hear your comments.
Long time has passed since the last update. Flip flopped, so I spent the last months doing freelance work. I’m slowly returning to game development as a side thing. Tune is a concept I will continue in the future, but right now I’m experimenting with Racket. So far I’m extremely happy with it, as I could prototype a simple game idea (again, a puzzle) in barely 8 hours, most of which where used to go through the documentation for the most basic things.
Will tell more about the game in future posts.
This comes a bit late here, as I’m using Facebook and twitter to spread the news, but Flip is available now also for iOS and Windows Phone.
Check at the bottom of the official page for the download links, and happy flipping!
Yes, Flip is barely out, and I’m already working on a new game. Tentative name is Tune (keeping names simple…) and it is a color match/musical game. It is an idea I had a month ago, based on lots of unfinished ideas I had for a long time. It will be focused mostly on mobiles, as it will play better with touch.
The idea is to rotate a dial to match colors and generate music. I don’t want to enter too much into details, I’ll just post a couple images of the first prototype logo and play screen concepts.
