I thought I might mention Gunpoint here, it's an interesting looking game where you rewire things to get into buildings.



Thoughts?

I saw that as well! It looks like a cool idea for a game. The name that they gave it sounds a little bit weird though to be honest.

You mean this game is amazing !

I tested the alpha or beta ( I don't remember) and it's very nice. The quality is so high that you can't guess that this game is made with GameMaker.

Official website : http://www.gunpointgame.com/

You have to check it out !

Could be cool if the author of Gunpoint come by this forum to show us a bit of his game.

[Super Guy]

I emailed him. And haven't got a reply.

It was interviewed and written about in PC Gamer which is amazing for a Game Maker game.

This game looks absolutely epic ! I Love seeing games developed to such an extent in Gm, What i mean is games which are completely finished and touched up in every detail :D!

I don't know if it was mentioned somewhere, but it won "Excellence In Design" at the Indie Game Festival! Not bad for being in the same event as Fez and Spelunky.

Gunpoint shows some of the the power Game Maker can achieve!
I didn't play the beta/alpha, but I've discovered it in Play Indie Games (brazilian site), and I've like what I see, and searching something about the game engine, I've discovered that it's Game Maker!

I've never doubt the Game Maker power. Very good to see this treasure!!

This isn't really a good like to show off how good it is. Putting it together with realm of the mad god and wonderputt prooves anything can win!

However, this appears to be a good game.

Thank you for posting about this game! I'm glad I stumbled across this topic a few weeks a go because I have literally fallen in love with the design, art and humour. I have found Tom Francis's (the creator) blog posts fascinating to read, too.

I only remembered about this topic and how I heard about this game when TotalBiscuit, a YouTube gaming commentator, uploaded a first impressions video of the game. This can only mean great things for GameMaker!

I emailed him. And haven't got a reply. :tongue:

That's because the creator, Tom Francis, is a games journalist and works for PC Gamer.

That explains the quality.

I saw this a few months ago, and was disappointed that it wasn't free- ah well. Good games deserve some compensation.

[yokcos700]

Originally, he wanted it to be free. But fans insisted that it's worth $10 or so.

I feel like I read somewhere on C418's blog that he has played it... just can't remember exactly...
