Game
FOR NOTHING

4 years ago

So here it is... The promised article that you voted for...

I had no questions to answer unfortunately, but I still have some informations about the game to tell you all !

(YouTubers and streamers may be interested ! Read below !)


I won't go through what "For Nothing" is in this post, for that you can go and check the pinned article on the game's page !

Now let's start talking about what you're here for !

How is the game doing ?

Well, development is going pretty smoothly at the moment !

You could even say that the game is basically done, it's about one or two cut scenes away from the main story ending.

I still want to add extra post game content (which will be REALLY worth playing), if I don't, I feel like the game just won't really be done, I'll start working on that right after I'm done with the main story, I'll try my best to make every bit of the game as enjoyable as possible, even side quests !

I thought of remapping every area in the game to better match the idea of how i view it now, nine months later, but considering how much work it would take, I abandoned the idea.

The actual maps a just fine, but I wanted to make them a bit more unique, the thing is I want to move on to another project I have in mind for a long time now, so I'll continue "For Nothing" as it is now ! (I won't rush it though, rest assured !)

Right now, the game is close to two hours long and has four boss fights (and a few "not really a boss" boss fights !) It also has a ton of puzzles, ranging from pushing blocks to pushing blocks but with a twist (That's a joke... There are other kinds of puzzles !) and lastly there's a ton of dialogue and funny character interactions too !

The game still has 100% original music from the amazing composer Paco Diago and has character art done by the great Mechali_art, both being the people who made this game possible ! (I am very grateful, thank you both !)

... I want to make a trailer !

Actually, I do have a trailer ready, and I could upload it anytime, the thing is ... I'm not very happy with how it looks like ... It doesn't capture the game's feel, so I'll make another attempt when I'll get closer to release.

Now about the demo... I also want to release one, but, I don't know yet how to make it so you don't have to replay the same part in the full game... I might have a little idea, but I'll need to think about it some more !

And finally, when is the game coming out ?

First, the game needs to be done (obviously) but I also wish to release it at the right moment, when I'll likely get some visibility so that more people will play "For Nothing" unfortunately though, I don't really have many ideas on how to make that possible, that is when my last point comes into play (and I hope it works...)

I decided to offer an early access key to the game for any interested Youtube/Twitch creators a few days before release !

All you have to do to get it is :

  • Contact me via DMs (we can have a talk or something )

  • Have a YouTube or Twitch channel (this should've been the first point...)

  • And that's it, no third requirement...

It's fine if you don't have many followers, I'd love to see you play my game, so contact me anyway !

Thanks for reading, have a nice day !

And the winner of last poll is ....

So the winner of the battle scene poll is the classic "3D like" one !

I worked on it, and it was so fun that I ended up doing one for every room that has a fight in it !

(I also changed the look of the character battle info thing !)

Great news !

All the problems mentioned in the comments left by the "beta-testers" have been fixed !

Combat has been made less frustrating and completed puzzles are now distinguishable (that's a big word !) from the uncompleted ones !
