From a place beyond the stars.
Contractor, or at least the prototype we managed to complete in the time given to us, turned out pretty well. It's got an inventory system, dialogue, combat and heaps of other stuff.
Overall, leading this project was difficult. On top of there being multiple accounts of people giving me back-sass on my design choices, the game was knocked down during the panel a peg or two. Which is great, because critique is exactly what a game in development needs to thrive.
Speaking of the panel, it consisted mostly of people from Firemonkeys game studio.
They noted that the ethical choices ultimately brought the game down, so I get the feeling we're going to focus more on an arcade shooter style thing with your choice of 'how to destroy the guy at the end of the level'.
So that's what we're going to do.
The pitch overall went well. They were impressed with the amount of progress we had made in such a short time, and I get the feeling we're going to be able to continue working on it until the end of the year.
