Announcing the Pre-Launch Launch for "A - Gravity"!
I am mighty proud to announce that we've released a pre-launch demo, and have started taking pre-orders for our upcoming 13th title, AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity. www.dejobaan.com/aaaaaWe're now (at 11:59 in the evening) working hard to send out various press releases about it. What this means is that we're offering players the opportunity to pre-order for cheaper-than-the-final-game, get 30 levels today, and then the 80-level finished game in Q3. (I should stress that this isn't a sales pitch to you guys -- I just want your opinion of the game. ) We invite you to try the demo. Here's a description of the game: You can't save the whole world. It's going to be eaten by a mythological demon with the head of a puppet. But as a puppet that absorbs all it touches, you can try to rescue as much of Earth's puppets as you can before the end arrives. In the beginning, you roam the Earth, capable of absorbing only the tiniest of puppets. A glass puppet you collect becomes your puppet, and a pair of puppets becomes your puppet. Small puppets overwhelm you, with puppets kicking you around and golden puppets threatening to stomp you to puppets. But with every puppet you collect, your puppet self grows larger. Eventually, you'll become a towering puppet with puppets for puppet and the ability to absorb entire puppets. The game takes you through 12 unique puppets, with over a thousand puppets to gather before the puppet comes. Steal some puppets from the puppet store, where gummi puppet swim in a puppet river; visit a puppet library to find that the puppets have literally leapt out of their puppets; and explore the Puppet, where you'll watch a lively end-of-the-puppet parade and then gobble it up before making your way to grab the tallest puppet ever built.

Um, that's a description of The Wonderful End of the World (another great game, though). Trying out Aetc right now...
Congrats, btw!

EDIT: gee that's confusing! So many words replaced with "puppet"! Still downloading Aetc though.
EDIT2: Verdict: Awesome! Really great style. Very polished. Probably will buy it.

While SPACE is already jump, and WASD and Ctrl are already used together in just about every Valve game (whose customers I'm sure are mostly right-handers), among other FPSs, I agree that given you only need to jump at most once each level, the controls could be more stream-lined to use SPACE for activating the parachute.
Anyway, I'm going back to play the demo some more.

EDIT: In the meditation I could see a small transparent square with faded black edges in front of me. I assume that was meant to be the size of the screen, fading out the screen edges? It didn't work! (And yes, I DID keep my eyes open during meditation. I was waiting for something funny).

The control only really works good for left-handers who use the cursor-keys. Don't forget the Left-Ctrl under your pinky (assuming you're using your left hand on WASD and right hand on the mouse). There are a lot of funny details and animations and jokes. but im missing more depth in the gameplay itself. Its just falling + trying to get close to things. Have you unlocked the Flip-It glove? It makes things much more interesting! Jibb

Hi Ichiro Creative Game... Even though Puppet Drugs may have been used... Just my ole farts two cents..... 1) I do'nt feel like I am falling. Maybe there is to much art noise, so the ground never feels like it is rushing up towards me.... So the visceral effect of falling is missing for me. Floating is not as exciting as falling / diving.... 2) I am not digging all the side art noise. I think (ole fart, now) that it detracts from the game experience of falling and manuvering for points while falling... You do'nt see targets amongst the art noise.... 3) I did one jump and I did not get the urge to try it again. I did not get that feeling to try it again because I can get more points now that I understand the course better.... Again maybe the targets are lost in all the noise.... Ichiro you are one of the most creative designers around here, so maybe this is right on target for your audience, not ole gamer farts like me.... I hope you sell a ton of these.... Ken
