I purpose we create a score of small games and release them to Steam in one package. Using a launcher so each project can be standalone. I do not think we should step away from large project development or even release our full small games.Users with current greenlight can include a single playable level of their projects. Users with small games can release a part like a demo. Users withlarge games can also release a part demo or single play through. Other user are welcome to create one off's.

A package like this could help breath on the development fire for the engine. It could help get the media's talking about the engine. It sure can help add publicity to greenlite projects and up and coming projects.

In the end ... It's the last and all we can do for this engine.

Of course I've suggested this before. I believe several years in a roll now.

Take Care --

Not a bad idea, but I would leave out demo's and just put in ~3-10 quality mini games. An advantage would be that you could have the advantages of working in a team without the disadvantages; by letting each teammember be responsible for their own game but between share in all the testing, knowledge, bug checking and maybe even assets etc. I would be interested in such a form.

(atm personally I think I haven't released anything notable yet, but I am working on something more promising that I could show later as portfolio work, not to sound to serious though grin )

ps: demo's could ofcourse be added a bonus / sneak peak like in some old games (= free marketing for the makers of it).

I think it's a good idea but there's still one thing missing.. games. (and people willing to participate in this project)

Also, improving the image of this engine doesn't automatically make it a better engine. In my opinion
A8 has still a number of flaws and it isn't very attractive to most developers.

Not trying to drag anyone down, though. I believe that you can make some pretty good games with this engine.
I just wish it had better flexibility / customization and frequent updates.

, yeah I think this idea is more interesting for us as a community than for the engine.

btw...
I have a nice mini Comicstyle (bloody funny sidescroller) game demo ready to upload. After the next contest, it can be freely used for such stuff of course.
Resources made by me. Music from Realspawn.

@Kartoffel You didn't bring us down.. You are correct. We cannot help the engine with produces at this point. We can do a nice community package like --Reconnoiter says. Just something to say this is who we are and leave a mark. I could not honestly ask new people to invest time in learn this engine. It's just better they start one of the others.


Oh well K

I would post Videos ( looks much cooler in motion ) and stuff right now, even a playable demo. But please understand me people, i want to join the next contest with this little project. A lot of love went into it until now ( already too much for a "side-project" of mine ).

And yes, a first little funny "game" for the bundle then.

edit:
Some project gameplay details:
U kill enemys ( with a lot of blood and stuff ). U get money / karmapoints. With money u can buy new weapons in the gunshop. More karma means cheaper prices in the shop. U can save your game in a savehouses ( shown in the shot above ). And u try to reach the level goal. Sometimes, u help people to walk somewhere etc.

Got a complete gameplay finished FPS here, just lacking some maps, already got a launcher and website ready, hope I get to release it soon.
I was about to stop working on it but I wanna upload atleast one working version people can play (even though the code is even more messy then my selfmade OS lol)
