GOD I THOUGHT THE GAME WAS OVER (; "wink wink"
GOD I THOUGHT THE WAS OVER (;
I AM A TIME TRAVELER
IT IS FRICKIN 2018 AND STILL NOT OUT
“Your weapon is a foot, your hero is a baby with a big whang.”
Why?
Because if you are looking for nothing more than the nitty-gritty aspect of the game, then this is it!
If we dig a little deeper, then “FOOT” is a “near-near-not-quite roguelike-like” (a roguelike-like, top-down, turn-based, shooter with permadeath and a sweet combat mechanic that resembles billiards), or simply… a “foot-shoot” game. The maps are procedurally generated for every fresh start of the game, because we had another game in mind initially.
Is this game fun?
Yes!
How?
Power-ups!
Find rings inside the caves and apply them in any combination of 4 to your weapon. There are so many of them, what are you waiting for?! Go get them all and tell your friends about it!
“WOW! The Incredible Ring of Burning Damage! Now my foot is on fire.”
“I have AIDS (item)!”
Find gold! Find bones! Find bat poop... Ugh! Yucky! Now make a German hand grenade.
The reason behind it! (Why we do what we do?)
I’m sure so far we’ve heard it all. About that developer who found games as a youngster and decided to make some on his own, or that really, really expressive kid that had Jesus and Mr. whippy van man as the only playmates in his neighborhood. The truth is that the background doesn’t make any difference, matter-of-fact everyone with a little bit of drive can make a game nowadays, with the right resources. But it's not about making a game, it's about having an idea and staying true to it, having motivation, passion, making something that you feel ownership of and it’s not easily manipulated by media and public demands.
A great quote in this regard, is that of Stan Lee:
“Everybody wants to feel that you're writing to a certain demographic because that's good business, but I've never done that ... I tried to write stories that would interest me. I'd say, what would I like to read?... I don't think you can do your best work if you're writing for somebody else, because you never know what that somebody else really thinks or wants.”
So, what is the “why?” in “Foot”? Exactly this! The fact that greed eventually overcomes principles and morale in people’s life, most of the time without even noticing it. The soul purpose of this game is to make you aware of your choice without taking you away from the guilt.
So please, indulge me once more.
When can I play the game?
6 months ago we were launching the game in 3 months, so next year, maybe. We are pretty far behind at the moment, but I will try to keep you posted at least once a week with new updates.
