ÏA ÏA CTHULHU FHTAGN


Previous giveway (ended Sept 17)

Hey there sgifters!
A couple of months ago I developed my first mobile game. Yes, it's another flappy bird clone (hey, you gotta start somewhere, right?), but since I'm a huge fan of H.P. Lovecraft's works, why not throw a tiny Cthulhu in it?

If you're a developer (or want start something like that), feel free to use this thread to discuss, get advice, make friends, whatever. Maybe you find someone to help you with your projects, or get into one. I'm a digital designer myself, all the assets were created in Aseprite and the sound effects are from freesound.org.

My tiny game was developed for Android devices (sorry Apple users, I have no dough to get an iMac and an iPhone). The first version was developed in Android Studio (Java+LibGDX) but in v1.3 I moved on to Game Maker Studio Pro. I could stay in Android Studio, but right now my focus is in computer games, so why not start with Game Maker on a mobile project to get the grasp of it? I'm always adding content to the game so there's an update every 3-4 weeks.

Anyways, thx for listening. Here's the link to Cthulhu Wings on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deflango.cthulhuwings

Also, as a big thanks for reading this so far, here's a few giveaways. I'm not a big fan of trains, so I'll just post the links here. All all lvl2+ because reasons.

EDIT

The giveaways ended a few days ago, but since people keep on giving me feedback here, I thought it was better to edit the title so people won't think I'm bumping this to get installs or so.

Guess I'll have to make a new batch of giveways to thank you guys!

Cheers!

thx! it will take a long time until my next project is done, but when it is, will do my best to get it on steam. (of course, it won't be a simple, casual project like the mobile one)

thanks a lot! don't expect too much lol
it's my first attempt, and more a hey-lets-see-if-it-works than anything else. but i've been studying a lot and (hopefully), my next projects will be much more complex than this one!

Better than what I expected. A quit button would be nice.

lol, thx for that. yes, i'm working on the quit button (how could I forget that, damn!) as well as new backgrounds, credits and some other in game stuff. will update in a day or two. I keep on updating this game because this is something of a lab for me to test new stuff I learn on GameMaker. So who knows, maybe in a month or two there's even new mechanics other than the one-tap routine.

Bump, i'm working as a web developer right now but I am also interested in learning game development once i become good enough with web development.
I hope you continue, keep loving what you do and get better and better!

thx! and you're right, gotta keep trying and trying. I already started my first desktop project, but it will take a looooong time to get it done (I'm doing everything, from coding/scripting to graphic assets). I've been working as front end dev for the last 10 years and never had the time to jump to game dev. I can tell you that Game Maker Studio is a great resource to get into it. You can start working only with the built in functionalities but soon you'll head straight on coding. Remeber that Hyper Light Drifter and Hotline Miami (to name a few) were developed in GMS.

Thx! It's really rough to get noticed. I did this one as an exercise to get familiar with the gamedev pipeline, and of course, for the fun!
