After all these years...

I've finally finished a game. Yesterday I released The Black Hole That Wants To Eat Me, an arcade type game where you try to survive as long as you can while a black hole is pulling you back towards it. I explained the details in my previous blog.

I uploaded it to YoYo Games on the early morning (around 1am) of May 8th, only to uploading an update in an attempt to make it instant play compatible. This did not work unfortunately, and also caused the highscores to not submit. After I discovered this, I updated the game again around noon on the 8th with some minor changes as well.

I expected the game to be considered crap among those who played it, but a few of the early players actually found it fun, but somewhat difficult.

It only has around 30 plays on YoYo Games at the moment. The comments so far are positive. As far as I know, it only has 4 plays on GameJolt. It's on 64digits as well, but the downloads counter on there is broken so I can't tell how many downloads it has.

The little feedback I have received from TIGS and the GMC so far is positive.

So basically this game that took me less than a week to make has exceeded my expectations so far, as far as feedback goes. I really don't expect too many plays though, but it'd be nice to have more people play my game so I could get more feedback on it. Ah well, doesn't matter. At least I finished something.

I might as well say that I did make a game on Christmas for a small one and a half hour competition, but it sucked and I hope it never gets played. The last games I actually finished making (other than the previously mentioned crappy one) were during my early days of Game Maker.

Anyway, yeah. I made a game.
