[mini horror/survival] The Passenger

thePassengerRPG

Hello everyone!

Over the week, I’ve been working on a mini-game to install on the custom handheld machine that I want to build.

It’s a mini Survival-horror game, although it’s really far too cute to really be “horrible”…

You’ll play as the survivor lost in a derelict spaceship, trying to find their way out.

You’ll have to battle androids, but at some point, an unrelenting Alien constantly chasing you.

The game is about done, I need to iron-out a few things, and give it a proper ending, and I’ll post it here, for the community to enjoy :slight_smile:

(I’ve slashed the framerate of the gif to optimize, the game, at least on my machine, rune wayyyy smoother, although, when I post it, I wouldn’t be against a code review to see how I can optimize further)

Stay tuned!

Is there a “best day” to launch games? A day where forums are most active, so that the thread doesn’t get buried…

Also, it seems I forgot to put the [game] and [show and tell] tags: is there a way to edit my original post? (or can a Mod do it?))

its best to post new games when you make the topic…
Its good to note that less posts are approved on weekends so probably dont try to post then
(other good timings would be on friday morning, so that i gets approved on friday and not on monday with the backlog of new posts from the weekend)

So is this gonna be an alien game or are you changing the splash screen title

Js wondering because that looks like a xenomorph to me

Gotcha! Thanks for the pointers! <3
I’ll keep it in mind for the future (I saw a bunch of posts hyping future games, so I assumed that was the ‘modus operandi’ :))
Maybe a mod will be nice enough to retrofit the link to the game in the head message once I post it…
I have one more nasty bug to fix, and I’ll be ready…

“loosely” inspired would be the keyword… as in “you are in a spaceship, and at some point, you will be hunted by an unkillable pixel monster quite reminiscent of the famous xenomorph…”
Also, just the title is quite an hommage: in French, they kept “Alien” as the title, but had “Le 8eme passager” (the 8th passenger) as a subtitle …

See, I don’t do “subtle” :wink:
