The first episode of the Simpsons is so terrible. It's hilarious. But not funny.

I should release my game..

I was looking for mobile games to play that weren't.. you know mobile games. Something single player with things you could plan and execute on but with an immediacy.

I've not really spoken about it to anyone before so my elevator pitch is rough. Essentially a top down 2d-ish twin stick shooter where you're going into a post zombie apocalypse situation and extracting with items to build up a safe community. Rescuing survivors, mild RPG elements, mild city builder.

It's a lot of systems working together, still rough around the edges (and non existent in other parts). Self funded ATM while I'm out of a job but managed to get stinking ill for a while, bogging me down.

Apparently play store has an early access equivalent for getting feedback so looks like I might try to get a MVP ready and try that out.

Thanks for taking an interest (even if that has now evaporated 😄)

Hey I currently work in QA for a game engine and will be going back to school soon for level design. Hit me up if you want feedback at any stage

[–] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks! I'll drop you a msg when the time comes (no pressure though)

DO IT! DON'T LET YOUR MEMES BE DREAMS! DOOOOOO IIIIIIITTTTTTTTT

[–] Pronell@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I would definitely try that game.

Let me know when it's out on early access or if you have an APK you'd like people to test! I don't play too many games on my phone, but your idea actually sounds better than those games riddled with gambling

[–] DeceasedPassenger@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You are mashing together several of my favorite elements and I would absolutely give that a shot. Interest: piqued!

I remember watching Tracy Ullman for the Simpsons. I was pretty young at the time but I did not think it was a very good show outside of those shorts.

It's called ready, fire, aim.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, too hard. I'd rather go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes.

Tell that to the one doing the hiring.
