Yes, I know it has been a while since I posted on my blog. I apologize for that, and hopefully that will change. No promises, though. The reason I am putting this post up is because I have completed my first full game.
The game, called Evil Clutches, was an assignment for one of my classes this semester. It is very simple, nothing complex, but it is fully playable (on Windows PCs, it hasn’t been tested on any other operating systems) and is just a taste of what will hopefully be a number of increasingly fun and complex games throughout this semester, and beyond.
By clicking the link above, you can download a .zip file containing the game executable file (nothing to install), and a ReadMe file with a brief description of the game and how to play. When you run the game, you will see an ad for Game Maker. This is the software I used to create the game, and the ad displays because I am using the free version of the software. Once I am through with this class, I will be purchasing a full license and the ads will disappear. Until then, the ads will be present in all of the games I create.
As always constructive criticism is welcome. I am still learning the ins and outs of the tool I used to create the game, so there is probably a lot that can be improved on this game. As I learn more that can help the game, the game will be updated. I will not, however, be accepting suggestions for what could/should be improved on this game. As I said before, it is a very simple game, and the first fully playable game I have put together.
Thank you to The Game Maker’s Apprentice for providing the graphics and audio for the game, as well as the instructions to get the basic game created. The additional mods were done as part of the assignment for my class.
