Potato!

Hi all! Thanks for having a look. I couldn't quite get it to where I wanted inside the 48h as I thought "oh i'll have a little nap!" and then woke up at deadline 7h later :D

Also, source is a Shiva archive. It should import into any version of Shiva editor, even the free one.

Web link goes straight to the game now.

Modelling: 7h
Textures/Graphics: 1h
Animation: 4h
Shiva/Code: 18h
Audio/SFX/Music: 6h

Thanks for looking everyone!

Dead skin mask!

One of the strangest things I have ever seen... kinda cool though... O.o

Slightly scary concept but good use of Audio.

I now have a very greasy potato deep under water, feel like i've participated in something dirty and don't know what to do. All in all, just what i love in a game :D

Am I doing it wrong?

karsyf29 Apr 2013, 09:05

Lol

This is either full marks or 0 marks for humor ...

shotirisauthor29 Apr 2013, 09:10

Thank you so much everyone for trying the game! More feedback here than I've had on my current major project! :P

shotirisauthor29 Apr 2013, 09:10

Thank you! @semi there is a major bug. I passed out drunk before I could rectify and add the remaining audio :)

juaxix29 Apr 2013, 09:29

Hey, here another Shiva user!
Why so sad?

Mythalore29 Apr 2013, 10:32

Interesting, nice idea and the art style reminded me of psychonauts but it took a very long time to load.

shotirisauthor29 Apr 2013, 10:34

@mythalore sorry, my web server is slow apparently! Game is only about 17mb. Thanks for looking!

I managed to keep him alive when the water was way high, by rubbing him when he was supposed to drown.

lilmissmossy29 Apr 2013, 11:06

Cool graphics and love the audio. Very very eerie and creepy. I just don't know how to save the poor little fellow! I feel i've failed him... but my guess is that's the point :) Nice work.

shotirisauthor29 Apr 2013, 11:15

@zero thanks for playing! that's my bug. hey 48h :)

shotirisauthor29 Apr 2013, 11:16

@lilmissmossy the potato must die :)

tiffi29 Apr 2013, 12:01

thats one sad potato... :(
but cool idea!

Yezu29 Apr 2013, 12:07

This 3d player thing is crap. I installed the add on and it still does not work :(

shotirisauthor29 Apr 2013, 12:17

@yezu sorry it isn't working for you. Try the windows exe perhaps?

@tiffi thanks!

AnnaGavaldaKedavra29 Apr 2013, 12:20

Shit i thought the WTF award was for me. I rubbed the potato a lot, water went crazy when 2 third of the screen was full. Then potato guy reappeared. Then i stop cause i was thinking about suicide.

mechagk29 Apr 2013, 12:20

Very weird, not sure if I'm doing it right...

Skywilly29 Apr 2013, 12:29

Creepy o_o

shotirisauthor29 Apr 2013, 12:45

@anna @mechagk @skywilly perfect! thank you :)

Toki Anholmes29 Apr 2013, 15:20

wow, love the madness of the thing

SuperlevelSebastian29 Apr 2013, 17:41

Holy moly.

shotirisauthor29 Apr 2013, 22:46

@toki & @superlevelseb awesome comments :) thanks!

juaxix30 Apr 2013, 09:27

Hey, I have test your code with Shiva, do you have a shiva forum entry to talk about this? :)

please check my game with windows again

shotirisauthor1 May 2013, 12:18

Hi @juaxix, thanks! I checked out your game, pretty cool. No I haven't started a thread about it.

Alex Rose1 May 2013, 12:57

Oh god, what have I done?

I really wanted to see what the monster was!

But yeah, hilarious stuff, definitely a 5* for humour, and the potato looks amazing. Great modelling and animation.

rustybroomhandle1 May 2013, 13:07

Alrighty, then...

Zener1 May 2013, 13:41

Interesting concept, it made me reaply and try different things. I will have nightmares with the music :)

shotirisauthor1 May 2013, 13:45

:) Thanks all.

avidgamerNino1 May 2013, 23:28

you have to be kidding me!!!-pregame

postgame- wow, I died and came back to life and the water just kept filling up, Odd clicking website.

Elemnir2 May 2013, 00:23

I biffed it. If you keep the butter and click the potato after he drowns, he springs magically back to life.

MinionStudios2 May 2013, 00:23

Freaky and hilarious game! Is it possible to win without death? can we see the Wild Bill?

FREEZX2 May 2013, 00:33

Holy fuck.

john_conder92 May 2013, 00:37

I.. I don't really .. I mean I made the potato cry until it flooded the place but like nothing happened and so I just ... I just I don't know man. I don't know man. I don't like, I don't know man.

shotirisauthor2 May 2013, 00:38

:) Hello.

@avidgamerNino Thanks, it's bugged.
@minionStudios Thank you! Not yet, that's as far as I got. @Elemnir yeah bugged :) (I passed out 7h before deadline)
@freezx Perfect, thanks :)

shotirisauthor2 May 2013, 00:39

@john_conder9 lol, awesome.

gregdevice3 May 2013, 06:00

A lot of butter torture
