Hey all, My name is Eric, a MFA student (graduating in May 2016) from NYU Game Center, and together with my classmate, Emma, we are working on a one touch play-as-long-as-you-can twitch style mobile game called SPIN CYCLE! I will be updating this thread often with screenshots over the coming weeks as we polish it and get it ready to be released. You can follow me on twitter @duckizz for updates as well! Here's a sneak peek at the characters we have in our game Thanks!
Screenshot Saturday! The game is progressing really well and we still have a few more features to add and more playtest!
#screenshotsaturday title screen! with some crazy animations and juice! I will have to fine tune it ;p
ScreenshotSaturday April 16 2016 Showing some of the stats we track in the game for the player to see and improve! We will still update some of the art and effects but feature wise its largely done! Now to integrate social media (twitter/facebook/game center) and final art and we should be ready to go!
Another Screenshot Saturday 23April 2016 We are very close to completing it! Just some more final art assets, visual juice (like animating eyes) and social media stuff and we are almost done! We also ordered stickers for to be given out at events that we attend (like the NYU Game Center End of Year Show). If you have any feedback and stuff, do post them here as I check the thread regularly Also if you want to follow us, on twitter, I am @duckizz and Emma is @emmawang0107 Thanks!
Just want to wish you luck with your game!! I'm looking forward to its release. Let us know if you'll have Beta testing!
Showing at Playcrafting NYC 4th May! Hey all! SPIN_CYCLE will be showing at Playcrafting Spring Expo on 4th May! The event details are here http://www.eventbrite.com/e/playcrafting-nyc-spring-expo-tickets-23020174963 Come and say hi to Emma and me if you are coming!
Question + Screenshot Saturday April 30 2016 so we are discussing about whether we need a tutorial where you can interact with OR just a simple tutorial image that tells you what to do. I also thought that by introducing a leg kicking the washing machine when you tap will show you that you are kicking the washing machine will clue you in as to what you are doing when you tap. What do you all think? a) interactive tutorial or simple image b) is the kicking bad or good? thanks!
Playcrafting Spring Expo report! Just got back from the expo and it was an amazing experience. We had people loving the game and asking if it has already been released. It was especially gratifying watching kids playing the game and keep trying it again and again just to get high scores. They were even better at playing the game than their parents! The highest score of the night was 79 which is really impressive given he only tried it twice. Some minor changes to be made, mostly to instructions on how to play and we should be mostly done at this point! EXCITED!
We are really close to submitting! ;p We are quite close to submitting for review! Just some last minute touch ups. Here are some pictures from the Playcrafting Spring Expo!
submitted to App store for review! if all goes well, we aim to release it on 19th May, to coincide with our school's end of year show!
NYU Game Center End of Year Show! So we had a great time showing at our End of Year Show! This is sort of like a good end to our graduate life as we run out in to the real world again! We had fun showing the game to a lot of people and at 1 time we had 2 strangers competing against each other to get the highest score which was 483 for the night! Pretty amazing and we ran out of stickers and namecards by the time the night was done! We are still pending word from something that we hope will pan out and once we do, we can officially announce when Spin Cycle will be released! Until then stay tuned! ;p
We are still alive! So we are waiting on some news before releasing it and that's why we have been quiet for a bit but fear not we are definitely going to release it. Right now our target date has been shifted to July 2016 as we await some contacts to get back to us that will help to boost the reach of our game!
Playcrafting Summer Expo 2016 We are still alive and still aiming to release the game! Right now we are just waiting to see if we have any chance to get featured thus the delay in release ;p We also recently showed our game at Playcrafting summer event and it was great! We did not get the High Score that was achieved at the end of year show but still had a lot of fun showing the game, getting good responses and watching people come back and try to get a high score to win a poster from us! Pictures from the event:
SPIN CYCLE RELEASE - 31 Aug Hey everyone! We are excited to announce we will be releasing Spin Cycle on 31st August! This will be 99.99% a hard deadline unless we have very good news to share but otherwise, the release will be as planned! Keep an eye out for us on the App store!
