Opac's Journey Update/Reviews

By SmallCaveGames 1 Comments


 
 
Did we mention that we also mad a game called Limbo? No that wasn't us, damn it. Anyhow here's another update with some additional blurbs from reviews.


CONTEST UPDATE: Congrats to Kyle for bringing the baby home and being our 5th and final winner. And surprise, each winner actually got 1600 Microsoft points! Call me Santa. If interest keeps up I might run another contest based around speed runs. Maybe when we hit 1000 sales.


And here's what people be talkin' bout:

Dealspwn: "You’ll soon find yourself gliding and wall-grappling your way around the NES-style levels with joyous abandon, discovering secret areas hidden behind destructible panels with the aid of a highly explosive vegetable. The feeling of being truly alone save for some enigmatic ancient messages makes for a powerful and compelling experience." " I would recommend it heartily to retro fans and ol-schoolers."

IndieGameBlog: "A really good 2D platformer with exploration, abilities and upgrades. Definitely give this one a go."

HiddenAudioBlog: "In the beginning you only have the ability to jump, but as you explore the cave you find ancient relics that grant you special abilities such as gliding, wall clinging, blowing up rocks, and much more. This is where the slight Metroidvania inspiration kicks in. These abilities are handed-out often enough that you’re always earning new things in the game. One of my personal favorite abilities is a relic that allows you to move the right stick and look around the map (to a certain point) to foresee any upcoming dangers or pitfalls. It solves an issue that I’ve had with platformers for a while, which is that a lot of their design boils down to trial-and-error gameplay."

Mom: "I'm so proud of you!! It's wonderful!!! What is it?!"

I hope to see some more reviews trickle in from some of my favorite sites, so if I see them pop up I will post and tweet the crap out of them of course.

Bryan is working on a patch to make sure we put a save function in place fo' real this time. And we hope to have a substantial update on Legend of Kilflame soon too.


Cheers, and thanks again to all the Opac's Journey players.

Opac's Journey

By SmallCaveGames 12 Comments


I hit a large life milestone that I thought I would share as my first blog post.  I published my own frickin' video game by the age of 30.   That probably sounds cooler than it actually is, but it's still a big one in my book.   
 
I made a game called Ophidian Wars: Opac's Journey (www.ophidianwars.blogspot.com) and it came out on the Xbox Indie Games Channel two days ago.   So far, really strong showing - about 500 sales in two days and #4 on the to download list.   Toot toot.   Maybe I do have a clue.   

Then I was pooping around the interweb and found this crazy site.  Integrate with Twitter, Facebook, AND my Xbox LIVE account?  Damn.  And a leveling system to keep hooked like I am on the WoW treadmill.   I'm fu$king in.  I'll be your peon, interweb.  
 
So that's that.  I am going to stick around awhile.
