Show HN: Self-Funded Game with Homemade Engine – Play Online, Steam Coming

https://bereprobate.com
12•delduca•8h ago
Hi HN!

I’ve been building a 2D game using a custom engine I wrote from scratch – no Unity, no frameworks. It’s fully self-funded and will be released commercially on Steam.

Engine source code (MIT): http://github.com/willtobyte/carimbo

I’d love feedback on the gameplay, visuals, performance, or anything else. Thanks!

PS. You have to click somewhere on the wall to enable sound due to browser restrictions.

I opened your link in a background tab, and switched to it after some time, I even forgot what the tab contains. The music started playing IMMEDIATELY with MAX VOLUME. It's 5 AM here. Nice joke. Negative interest in the game followed.

I don’t know I am not supposed to play on a phone but it seems like nothing I click does much of anything in the game. I just keep seeing a few different phrases come up and I can’t seem to do anything.

It also seems like you’ve focused more on telling us about the technology behind the game rather than introduce the game. What’s the name of the game? What’s the premise? What type of game is it?

This might sound harsh but if this is your marketing strategy I wouldn’t even bother releasing it commercially.

The art is neat, but I can't seem to get past the second screen, after exiting the bedroom. It's just black, a skull or something appears, and it says "They said that light is the path of the eye" and "Then darkness comes and erases such a pat" [sic]. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I have no clue how to progress (using Firefox on Linux).

Also the game begins with the phrase "I was born to disrespect", which in this case I guess means you don't use periods at the end of sentences, but, well, you should use periods at the end sentences.

Is there any documentation for the engine?

The art is fine, no complaints. I don't know how well the hand works as a cursor since it doesn't tell me when I can pick something up, and I don't know what the gestures are supposed to do in terms of game mechanics. I found it confusing and difficult to know what to do next. And none of the text really helped. I may just be dense, though.

If I had to sum up my opinion of the game in a sentence it would be too much style, not enough substance.
