Hey, everyone! It's me, Tim! I got a thing I wanna show you peeps!

For a little over a year now, I've been working on an action-shooter type game with a few other lovely folks. It was my idea, though, so don't give them too much credit. They just did the little things, like art design, sound design and VOs, programming, 3D models, and other boring stuff. I, on the other hand, worked on STORY DESIGN! Please, hold your applause until the end.

Anyway, we finally hit the beta stage! So now, because we don't have a very high budget, we're spreading the word through forums, friends, and family members to check and see if we did some good shit! Now, we aren't ready for testing yet, but we got a KICKASS trailer that we've been flaunting around like the goods at a strip club! Well, I say "kickass" because I made it (mostly), but you should still check it out! Give us feedback and all that jazz.

Here is the trailer of the game we have so far, hope you enjoy!

And, please:

DON'T. SPOIL. THE VIDEO.

We need as much attention as we can, the street-corner whores that we are.

That said, however, please enjoy!

It looks pretty predictable, as far as shooter trailers go. 

Eh, it's a work in progress.

Truth is, I was just sitting on my couch one day and thought up this. Shared it around and boom, here we are.

Fantastic. Definitely looking forward to it.

Thanks, man. Worked real hard on it... well, depending on your definition of hard.

Well, I'm a little disappointed the trailer's in SD, but it's really cool you're doing game dev stuff! Looks nice!

Yeah, sorry about that. I'm currently torturing the promo crew, Gitmo style.

Glad you liked it, though!

Looking forward to it. What console? Computer? And also, can you give me a few previews for the game? Like, any small leaks or spoilers?

PC. We don't have the funds for next generation consoles!

Sorry, this is the only snippet you'll get for a while.

Your voice is grating, but nonetheless, I look forward to when you finish it.

It's not mine, but thanks!

Well, you should tell the VA to run that shit through Audacity to remove the background noise. That goes doubly so for any clips used in the actual game. It won't fix monotonous nerd voice, but it will make it more tolerable.

-_-

What are those graphics!? It looks like it's straight out of the 70s! I haven't seen this kind of shooter since Atari! How many bits even is this, because it can't possibly be more than 4!

Hey, man, we're trying the best with what we got to work with.

I was about to say "weren't you the first one to comment?" But then knew better of the glitch. Hi, Sent.

Where'd you get sound effects that old? That's some serious January 1st, 1987 shit.

It's all part of the joke. They were confused in Mason's thread because Cyn's sporting my profile pic, so I stole Malk's uncle Sergei and then spammed the thread with literally all of my alts.

Okay, you can spam the threads with your alts, but the first time I do it I get banned? What's up with that? Oh, well. 

When they're used sparingly for actual witticisms, it's a different matter.

Good to know.

The game looks pretty good but I think the soundtrack is what impressed me the most. Where did you get such good music from given your (presumably) low budget?
 

I think we had some third party do it for us, I forgot his name.

Hey, everyone! It's me again!

I just wanted to thank everyone (with a few exceptions -.-) for being such a good sport about the trailer. I know it was hard not to spoil anything, but your support and feedback was greatly appreciated!

I'd also like to thank the mods for cleaning up the troll posts. Thanks, guys! ^_^

Now, I shall crawl back into the Dev Room, slaving away at my masterpiece.

(Really, thank you all. <3)
