I simplified the slot machine interface a bit and added some of the effects on it as well (Light bloom, etc). So I thought I would show you a comparison between the newest one and the last two: New:
I recently signed my Indie game Farmlands up for Kickstarter in the hopes of raising some extra money for polishing it. (Also if you give 20 dollars it is basically like prepurchasing the game but you get your name in the credits as well!)
My name is Greg Chudecke and I am a Indie (Independent) Game Developer. This is my story: I have always dreamed of starting my own game company. So when my son was born almost two years ago I thought, "Well it is now or never. Once he is in school I won't have time for such adventures." So I quit my job and moved in with my in laws! I now live 3 hours away from Seattle in small town Randle Wa. We made the move so we could save some money and have someone to watch my son while I work. In the meantime my wife has been working at the local lumber Mill to support us.
Fast forward to today a few months from launch. We have spent about every penny we owned, double mortgaged my old Condo and now have a new baby!
So our funds are extremely tight as you can imagine and I am worried that I will have to cut some of the polish and features to get this game shipped sooner. This is where you can help.
I am hoping to raise enough funds to finish my project with the polish level it deserves. In exchange I will be offering copies of the game (for a 20 dollar or greater donation) as well as a mention in the credits (5 dollars or greater donation) when it is completed.
Here is a more updated screen shot of the gameplay: http://www.caffeinatedgames.com/profiles/blogs/tornadoes-1 I have a Blog running at http://www.caffeinatedgames.com which is also a social network for gamers and Indie game developers.
So that is it in a nutshell. I put some info on the game below. I'll post updates on here as well.
Well after 8 years in the games industry I decided to start my own Indie Game Company Caffeinated Games. I announced our first game recently. Here is a snipit of info about the game as well as a screen shot.
In Farmlands you build farms, plant crops, and battle for control of land. The goal of farmlands is straight forward....Increase your net worth to meet the goal of the map or have the largest net worth when time runs out. Players move around the outside of the board building farms and planting crops. If a player lands on your farm they will have to pay a toll equal to the value of the farm and its connected crops. It gets interesting when you start connect multiple farms together to combine their values. To prevent other players from connecting farms a player can initiate a battle by placing one of their crops on an opponents square. The outcome of battles between players are determined by slot machine mini games.
The collectible aspect of the game comes in with the pack of cards you are drawing your items and seeds from. During your turn you will draw items or seeds from your pack to use in the game. Seeds are used to plant crops or boost your attack in combat. Items are used to modify the behavior of things in the game. At the end of any map in single or multi player the player will receive additional items or seeds which they can use to customize their pack.
