Old Stuff kept for historical purposes only.

I've been feeling somewhat destructive lately, so I started making this.

The point of the game is to destroy large castles, I haven't really thought of a reason why yet. But then again you do play as a flying death spewing giant eyeball so I guess reason can just fuck off for now.

I suppose you want to what the hell I'm rambling about now so here's a set of before and after pictures.



Amazingly enough I have actually done worse pixel art.

For the one or two of you still interested here's a download link

Be forewarned, this is a very early alpha so bugs and placeholders abound, you can't die yet, running out of time doesn't do anything and the slot 1 and 2 attacks are the same, slot 3 doesn't work yet.

Oh and before I forget here's a couple tips.
Your attacks are limited, that's what those blue bars are.
You can press R to reset the map at any time.

How hard is it to make a game like this in GameMaker?

It looks more like a hot air balloon then an eyeball.

Actually looks pretty neat. Interesting idea.

Difficulty is fairly subjective but I guess it isn't to hard, why do you want to know?

Thank you, it's good to know I'm working on something people might like.

This game is PRETTY DAMN FUN.

This game is PRETTY DAMN FUN.

YES

[Soadreqm]

Yeah, that was kinda fun. Keep working on it.

Don't worry I am, I'm working on adding all the different types of blocks and furniture into the game all at once so I don't end up having to scrap half the castles down the road for being inferior.

I'm also coming up with ways to make the destruction itself look better.

[Freak]

FYI damaged blocks can randomly catch on fire now. Fire has no effect on the castle and is just there to look cool.

Any suggestions on other stuff you'd like in the next update?

[mastahcheese]

That looks so cool.

[Parsely]

More explosions.

[Euld]

Pretty fun, but shortlived, I'd definitely want to play more levels with more ammunition.  Also might need an objective of some kind if I'm going to have limited ammo and time.  Although a survival level with unlimited ammo and time and unlimited enemies would be fun too.

Arise topic for I have need of your services once again.

So good news bad news, good news is that I've actually been working on this game again. Reason it's taken so long for me to update this is because I basicly had to re-code everything from scratch due to the old code not holding up.

Bad new is that I can't afford to keep working on it for free. I've been holding off on posting anything until it was further along in development, but external circumstances that I wish to keep private have forced my hand.

Action during the levels is now more or less feature complete with the destruction and win/loss conditions all working as intended. It's the stuff that happens in between the levels that really needs fleshing out now.

As it stands now you could probably think of it as a pre-order with a free two level demo.

The game also comes with a folder of bonus behind the scenes stuff that will be updated along with the game itself.

Here, have a screenshot of a house blowing up.

To help make myself feel better about charging for this crap, and this is no joke I really do feel guilty about this, the first three copies are on me. Just let me know you want one and I'll give you the link to claim it.

The game itself is now available here.

Edit: got a special Bay12 trial link thing, to let you guys download it for free for now. https://worlds-deadliest-idiot.itch.io/eye-of-vengeance/download/9Yg4H9jh4ZA4nz8h6ZKM0zhir3057vvmSwVigoN4

I've tried it and liked it thus far.

May I ask what are your plans for the future?

At the moment, I'm working on the upgrade system, each time you finish a level you get to pick a stat to upgrade. Things like explosion size, shield damage resistance, that sort of thing.

 sprite for an upgrade, the glowy crystal things indicate it's current level.

As for long term planning, get the story in place, I know the events and how they play out I just need to get the cutscenes done.

Oh, and add levels, lot's of levels, they aren't that hard to build so I can churn them out pretty fast once I get going. Except for that farm in level two, friggin hand placed wheat.

Once everything is roughly in place it'll be time for fine tuning, squashing any bugs that I missed.

Ok back to working, I'll be checking in while I work so feel free to pester me for information

Edit: Soon you shall be able to burn down this orphanage, oh and blow up the orphans along with it.
