Thanks! We are making great head way on this project and we should have some really cool stuff to share really soon. Here's a quick blurb about the game: ACCESS POINT Take a journey into the amazing and sometimes dangerous world of Cyberspace. With the help of S.T.A.N., your cute and clever nanobot guide, you will explore the vast network of cyberspace, solving fast paced puzzle challenges, unlocking new and more powerful programs, cleansing infected systems, and freeing trapped nanobots. FAST AND FURIOUS PUZZLE SOLVING Access Point has you racing against the clock, creating huge block combos, and staying one step ahead of the encroaching sphere. To the victor come the spoils. The bigger your combos and the faster you perform them, the more you are rewarded with in game credit and points to upgrade your power ups. DEEP CUSTOMIZATION Access Point takes action puzzle games to the next level with a completely customizable power up system. Play the game the way you want to play it! Access Point offers over 30 unique upgradeable power ups which can be purchased by using the in game credits. FIVE MAINFRAME LEVELS Navigate through five vast mainframes while experiencing intense visuals, thumping music, and riveting fast-paced gameplay. RESPONSIVE AND INTUITIVE TOUCH CONTROLS Move around Nodes, activate attack programs, and drop blocks - all with the simple button taps and swipes. SIMPLE NAVIGATION Easy to use controls enable players to effortlessly navigate through the network exploring Node in order to locate hidden programs and trapped nanobots. GAME CENTER Access Point contains a whole lot of Achievements and dont forget about the immensely competitive Leaderboards.
I feel yeah on the menu, its a little busy, but its just a concept at this phase. We'll work on the look and feel once we start dropping in the UI elements. We have a big internal milestone on Nov.21st and then hopefully we can share some game screenshots and videos with ya!
We are still a few months away from releasing Access Point,but I want to share some quick development videos we made. The game is far from final and their are numerous RPG elements that will be added to this puzzle game. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions about our development process. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpT9NSFb7xY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ8efG_4aFs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a7FaSNBO5g
I know it's very early and not final art but I'd lighten the dark grey up a bit on the characters so you can see more detail when their parts overlap. Also in the gameplay example video, I'd try to show the characters on the screen in the corner, like a dynamic portrait that relates to how you're doing in the game. And that cool tron like background for the menu would fit well as the gameplay backdrop as well, especially with subtle animation.
Great suggestions! We were planning on doing something in the way of the portrait (especially for the boss battles), we are looking at having animated backgrounds for the gameplay, but we'll have to test them and make sure that they aren't too distracting. Keep the ideas coming, they are much appreciated!
Just want to say that your choice of name to me is rather nice, since the character i've used over the years is called Nakiti, heh.
