Play With Independent Developers In Play NYC

From PAX to E3 and Gamescom, there are many game conventions for players to watch and test the most popular new games. But with the establishment of PlayNYC in New York, this is a new game competition, and you can experience a different experience. Participants did not have long lines or crowded crowds, but had the opportunity to experience 3-tier games, chat and explore new games with developers around them. Although these games may not be well known, playing with the creators can provide a new perspective on the game production process and make players a part of it. There are also far fewer people there than E3. I got the garbage bag. There is food in it. So… Uther, go to New York. Please continue to read my thoughts on my favorite topics in the program!

Vidal

I had the opportunity to meet Dean Razavi of Razbury Games and told him some RPG titles.Vidal. VidalThis is a very frustrating game. You dress up as a stranger and visit the real village. Under the village lived a terrible beast that killed a villager every night. There are only 24 villagers left in the village. It takes 24 days to find the way to the beasts. You really can’t save everyone. The game is also random. This means that every time you play the game, other villagers will die in different parts of the story. The puzzle of the game also remains unchanged. This is a good concept. I think it’s very interesting. Especially because now many topics do not really involve the theme of permanent death and loss.(Dean himself told me that he longed forVidal).

At the festival, I used the Xbox controller to complete my work. After talking to a villager and accepting the mission of conquest, I climbed the cave from the main city. I started the 10 minute timer as soon as I entered, which always made me anxious. This cave is full of ice structures, which is the basis of its central mystery. I hung a lantern to light up the cave, and I continued to walk forward. I noticed that there was a piece of ice on my road, which made me slide them without breaking my trend. There are also squares with arrows that can move in the direction they face.

ah

Therefore, I began the long process of trying my best to conquer all the rooms in the cave. I would slide from block to block, from room to room. Sometimes I have to go in one direction to press the switch. This switch changed the arrow direction of the previous room so that I could escape from another exit. On the way, I met an ice monster mermaid, and I approached it carefully. Because I thought it would cause a fight. But she just followed me around to chat with me, perhaps because she didn’t have many visitors. The last puzzle of the cave is the colored arrow, which can be created by myself in the direction I want. It took me some time to find out. I knew Dean was watching me struggle. Maybe he’s laughing But I succeeded when I had time, and the demonstration ended.

From my short timeVidalI found many things I like. Remembered the beautyFFVIThis is one of my favorite RPGs. I like how Dean’s game deals with the inevitable death. These riddles are very difficult, which makes you feel unable to complete without time, but you still succeed. Random copies and puzzles also bring infinite replay to the game. If you want toVidalI think it’s worth the time. Please check the game website and see the trailer below.

Predator King

The people of the Good Night Games showed me the construction of their upcoming gambling/shooting hybrid game.Predator KingThis game has a funny and humorous about the chance game. If your ship explodes, you roll dice to save all the money you get from destroying enemy ships. If you operate normally, you will save everything, but if you do not operate properly, your savings will be lost. If you are still alive but want to be captured by the enemy, you can choose whether to gain additional life and continue to move to the next checkpoint, or turn the hard earned money into cash for ship upgrading and capability. The longer you play on the stage, the more money you make; but as the enemy becomes tougher and takes up more screens, the danger of death is greater.

Predator KingThere is a lot to do so far. I like the gambling that players are forced to do, balancing risk and benefit. It provides a lot of mobility, because you can move the ships you are shooting at anywhere on the screen(there are three options), and many mobile games stay in one position(for example, all the base runners). Fingers on the screen can shoot and move, but on the screen, the spaceship can suck out the coins of the enemy ship.

This increases the risk and vulnerability factors. Because at any given time, there are so many enemy ships around you. When you have dealt with enough villains, press two fingers on the screen to launch your special attack. This is a very gorgeous picture. Good night game seems to have unique and interesting shooters. Please see their website and trailerPredator Kinginclude:

Production capacity of Meowximum

I was immediately attractedProduction capacity of MeowximumBecause of the terrible pun. I use the Xbox controller to play with two other people. We are all crazy old cat girls. The goal of the game is to put as many stray cats as possible in your home. But it’s not that simple. A dog will kill any cat in the neighborhood. Other players can capture cats from you. And the black demon cat. He has teeth on his face. This cat can be picked up and put in each other’s house. You can quickly use up all the captured cats there.(Maybe it is because it is eating.) So the game becomes to catch the Devil Cat from your home and put it in the enemy’s home, which leads to many screams and fierce competitions.

Production capacity of MeowximumFor me, it was a surprise in the performance. I prefer dogs, but I happened to find them on a date and was immediately attracted by them. This game can support up to 4 players to achieve the maximum craziness, and the power supply can help attract more cats home, such as cat feed. Multi player fanatics who need quick thinking and strategy should watch the game here. Michael Calbert, one of the game developers, said: “In addition to the main song, there are more puns, so I will spend more time at home.”

Mom Hawke

Mom HawkeThis is an addictive adventure that you should play on your tablet. The topic is happy mobile games. You are playing “brother-in-law”. Your mission is to raise your children at every stage. You will grasp animals such as mice or rabbits with your fingers and guide your mother to feed eggs. The egg will eventually crack, revealing the bird’s face. If you continue to feed your offspring, they will eventually hatch and fly to the sky.Mom HawkeIn order to complete the faster stage, should we feed the children to be hatched, or give priority to who is the most hungry(shown on the consumption scale under the eggs), and distribute food to children in order to get more points? Animals also have their own characteristics: rabbits try to run out of dangerous places, skunks attack you with gas, reducing your health, and deer will leave you soon. The funniest partMom HawkeShe picked up a deer and threw it into the baby’s mouth; damn, it’s worth playing alone for this picture.

BoredomMom HawkeThrow a huge animal into my child’s mouth. It’s interesting to speed up on a level. Grasp the coin, you can charge between the two levels(get more health, accommodate more animals, fly faster, etc.), and worry that your birds will starve to death. According to the game displayed on the game website, with the emergence of new enemies and animals, things are getting more and more difficult and crazy, so I am very looking forward to playing the full version when I go to work in the morning.

An awkward day

God,An awkward dayThat’s interesting. Another surprise,An awkward dayIt is a platform for two people to play. The mechanism is unique: each player controls one man(Malone and Nathan). The two men date together(drink coffee, use the bathroom after drinking coffee, etc.). If you are too far away from each other, you will feel lonely and die. But if you get too close to each other, you will all die of embarrassment. Level is a continuous balance, keeping close distance while keeping distance from each other(just like the actual relationship!). Sometimes you both have to go to the exit together, but the next level can only move forward if you jump into another heart ring at the same time. Please see the trailer below to understand what I am explaining.

I’m in a hurry to do the test.An awkward day▲ Fortunately, the person behind me is a very cool and harmonious player. We cooperated well. If we are too close or too far away from the platform and run too slowly, we will scream and laugh. But our communication with each other was very intense, and we came up with a good strategy to break through each stage of the demonstration. We have successfully passed every stage of the trial, and we have done so very successfully. At the end of the demonstration, we had the opportunity to test the love tester to see our compatibility together. Because traps/embarrassment/loneliness lead to a large number of deaths, we haven’t reached such a high level, but anyway, how much do machines know about compatibility?

If there are partners or friends sharing influenceAn awkward dayhave a try. This is one of the best cooperative games I have played for some time. View on Facebook and Twitter pages.

Neon light wasteland

Artist Rob Shields shows punk motorcycle action racers.Neon light wastelandAt his stall, you can buy a small comic book with someNeon light wastelandThis is the story behind the scenes, and the plot sounds quite complicated: including hackers, identity omissions, corrupt companies; so it is not so far away from real life. This game integrates racing, jigsaw puzzles, shooting and diagonal games. It reminds me of aesthetics.Ultra light shifterWhen you think of gameslesbianandArmored Cavalry▲ It looks beautiful when exercising. Please confirm the next secret trailer.

From a game perspective,Neon light wastelandI play short demos everywhere, but that’s what I like. Players should think quickly: jump over obstacles in the first second, protect themselves from obstacles with shields in the second second, and then shoot through obstacles. The stage I played was full of checkpoints and videos. If you crash, the tape will play time. These are not to go back to the remote checkpoint you passed a few minutes ago, but to allow you to redo any part you mess up. I like this quick reaction method based on reactionNeonGaming. But the game is quite unfair in some ways. The path will disappear without warning and decide whether to go left or right. Only one path is the only viable way out. This leads to many implementation errors, which are pushed to the previous checkpoint again until you remember the correct path forward. These disappearance paths have no context clues.Neon light wastelandIncur unnecessary setbacks.

I don’t want to leave complainingNeon light wastelandIt can also be a great title. If better visual cues are implemented in the final construction of the game, let the players know that their path will collapse soon.NeonThe result will be very good. Because of the mix of game types, this title is very unique and difficult to put down. ChatNeon light wastelandTo learn more, visit the website.

Cruel gunboat

I only have three minutes.Cruel gunboatBecause of its humanity and the team formed behind me, these three minutes were well spent. The game is basically a game of “choosing a pirate ship to sink all the opponent’s ships to win”. I sat with three other people and chose my pirate ship. Each ship has its own advantages and disadvantages; some are faster, some are more durable. wait. It’s easy to fly my spaceship. Press the A key on the Xbox controller to maintain maximum speed. Cannons can be unloaded from both sides of the ship using the left and right bumpers. You can also discard the powder bucket and set traps for the enemy. I died quickly in the first race. In the second race, I destroyed the last boat left; but I hit a mountain at the same time, so the court was tied.

Cruel gunboatIt’s fun to be with a group of friends. If I learn more game control and play more rounds, I’m sure this will be my second favorite pirate ship gamegunboatMy love is still hereBlack flag). See the Steam page. If it sounds palatable!

Crystal rescue team

The creator Jason Cabra is very good. His mobile phone lent me his game,Crystal rescue teamBecause when I visited his booth, all tablets playing this topic were occupied. A cute little jigsaw puzzle, in order to overcome each stage, requires serious strategic skills.Crystal rescue teamLet your red eyes, tears and other heroes discharge all crystals at a specific stage. The game has a good learning curve, which can be moved on the block at the beginning to exclude each modification. Crystals will be lost soon after you occupy their space. Therefore, if you need to return to the lost crystal space, you’d better go faster. The empty space of the crystal will shut your avatar there, and you will have to close the door again. This element became apparent at a later stage. Because objects like green crystals explode after draining water, they cannot enter the space they occupy.Crystal rescue teamYou need a strategy and vision like chess to force you to carefully plan your path to successCrystal rescue teamObviously, Jason likes to add new elements in the next level to disappoint the players, and remind them that I can skip the gap without moving in a straight line after he has made the rules(I almost threw away his mobile phone in a difficult stage). ).

I am eager to play moreCrystal rescue teamMeet Jason and play his presentation. I can’t wait to see what new factors are behind the level and how difficult the answer is. Jason has worked for his children for six years. From what I have seen in his creation, he will be very proud. View TrailerCrystal rescue teamAnd that website

PlayNYC is a great event. I met many creators behind other video games. When I played their games, their eyes were full of enthusiasm. Independent developers have many ideas about game media. Holding play NYC and other activities to show their talents will really help them to establish one-to-one relationship with players. I hope that more activities like PlayNYC will become routine in other parts of the world. I want to see them again next year!
