Finally, after 2 days of last minute alterations and cramming sessions it looks like the Demo is finished; just in time for our August deadline aswell by 1 day!
Couldnt have gone more smoothly. The link has just been approved and can be downloaded here:
The Beta demo (and probably as finished as the game will ever be) spans 38 rooms and 3 levels of the Spin Doctor world; the Industrial, Medical and Mansion zones. The story is told via Journal Entries found scattered throughout the world, fully voiced over, and tell an abstract story for the player to piece together. The reasons why the protagonist is trapped in the facility, how the facility came to be and who is the antagonist and man behind the chaos are answers only the player can find.
Sound has been recently added which works amazingly and we are thrilled to be using a song from the amazing indy band "The Clockwork Quartet" as our end game theme. Seriously, those guys rock.
Please play through the game and tell us what you think. Any and all feedback would be lovely. This is the first game we have created as a class and has grown into something we are rather proud of. We are still learning so things we have done wrong and things we could have done better will only help us all become better games designers. That being said, its always nice to hear praise....
Rough estimates of play times come in at around 30-40 minutes, which is modest seeing as this was only our 2nd year class project.
Thanks to everyone involved, its been a long, long road.
Bye for now!
