Inside Pete Thread

INTRODUCTION: Hi, I would like to introduce the project I've been working on during the last 1.5+ years. I'm Piet, the creator and developer of Inside Pete, a video game I am creating together with a team of friends and freelancers. A project of love I have started after conquering mental issues after a 30 year long struggle. I have stopped my professional activities until the project is finished. Creating games is fun, but complicated and time consuming. I have invested all of my personal savings, a bank load, and a participation of the Flemish government. Which is why we have started a Kickstarter campaign to gather the funding we need to get through the final stretch.Check for yourself at: Kickstarter.com STORY: Meet Pete. Pete is a confused, burnt-out, middle-aged man caught in a downward spiral beyond any medical, psychological or moral help. You know that moment when you have so much on your mind you just decide to take a nap? Well that’s Pete’s very existence. His general attitude in life: if it requires wearing pants, it’s not worth bothering. Even his (former) friends tend to avoid him, and he doesn't blame them. His ultimate opportunity to be reaccepted lies with his ingenious great-uncle who goes by the name of Doc. He has invented a nano-bot which can clone white blood cells - the army of the human body - that can destroy all filth floating around in Pete’s body. It is your job to use this cloner and aid Pete on a microscopic level. Because nobody else want to do it. GAMEPLAY Inside Pete is an action strategy game, with the emphasis on action. You have to find a balance between battle tactics, cloning units, and resource management. The game is filled with crazy enemies. Everything is hand drawn first, and then animated. There's an extensive upgrading and power-up system. The friendly units are all red blood cells - the army of the human body. PROGRESS The game has been in development for about one and a half year. All building blocks are finished, together with the engine. Biggest to do's: creating levels, adding enemies and balancing gameplay. OTHER RESOURCES: Facebook: Facebook.com Twitter: Twitter.com Blog: Insidepete.com Interactive Story Website: Insidepete.com PLATFORMS: Inside Pete is being developed for iOS and Android, both for smartphones and tablets. It will also be ported for PC (Win and Mac). RELEASE DATE: Mid 2015 ... ish. MORE INFORMATION: VIDEOS This trailer is a good place to start. The footage is from an early alpha build, but it gives a good impression about the game: Meet some of the first enemies from up close: Making a videogame is a journey. A long one. Graphics and gameplay elements evolve when work on the game progresses. Please enjoy this bit about the graphical evolution of the main units: This development update was the most fun to record, but most definitely also the one I will regret the most. Enjoy my dancing skills on the first completed track of the game. So cool. Much wow. Very Officers: special units: TL;DR? Not in the mood to read? Just enjoy the pics: WORKFLOW In the mood to read just a little bit? All the above images are form our designer; Adrien Noterdaem. He creates the sketches based on my descriptions. I come up with the enemies, each with his own name and a small background story.After that our animators, Benjamin Ropson, creates the animations based on the sketches. I adept those, and convert them to animations that can be integrated in the game. Which looks a bit like this: My dear new friends, my lovely digital connections. Pete's not doing well. His body is being taken over by new infections. Don't take my word for it, see for yourself: Kck.st Hi guys! I had quite a lot of people asking me to make a screencast without any of the VHS video effects. And because I like you; I did just that. Enjoy: Youtu.be Beautiful people, I'm back.

Hi guys! Long time no post. I just wanted to point out we're still working hard. Right now we are optimizing all the none-ingame sections (options screen, pause screen, etc...). These screens don't play a big role in the game, but we want every part of the game to be equally detailed and polished as the game itself. Also, it's a little fetish of myself ^^. I love user interfaces.

Here's a little teaser preview. FYI: each screen will have a custom show, hide and idle animation.
