MacB WIP
Posted under: MacB, a game based loosely on Shakespeare’s MacBeth, is now available to play in its alpha form. There are a few issues with the gameplay but overall I think it works reasonably well given the tools used to make it, there’s some decent game logic in there too. For the next update I’ll be adding a bit more to the character and storyline without using the highly obtrusive pop up boxes, along with fixing a few issues and polishing that will probably be about as far as I go with it.
I feel a bit disappointed with it overall, I think I stayed too close to expected norms of gaming. What the game does well, countless other games out there do better. Is there a reason to play MacB when games like Metal Gear Solid and Splinter Cell already exist? I think my disappointment comes from the “me too” attitude that I took somewhere along the way and just ended up creating something that I knew would work. I should probably have tried to take a risk on the game but nothing really came to me, it should be an ok piece for the portfolio with a few improvements but I can do better.
You can play the alpha below and hopefully I’ll be able to add some more features to make it a better game!
