Iceroyds!

[Landeel]

Iceroyds! is an indie sportive competition game.

Up to 4 players simultaneous, or up to 8 players non-simultaneous can play in a single computer.

The "sports" in Iceroyds! are clear references to classic arcade or console games, with enhanced gameplay elements, and a little bit of humor.

Iceroyds! is available for Windows and Linux (x86).

----------

This is an indie game I have been working on in the last few months, while working in my new game engine.



It's made in FreeBASIC, OpenGL for graphics and SDL_mixer for audio. It's getting closer to completion now.

Iceroyds! is a sportive competition game, sort of like California Games or Decathlon.

Up to 4 players simultaneous, or up to 8 players non-simultaneous can play in a single PC.

It can be played with keyboard, joystick, mouse or touchscreen. 4 joysticks/joypads are recommended for 4 simultaneous players.

The "sports" in Iceroyds! are references to classic arcade or console games, with enhanced gameplay elements, and a little bit of humor.

I will release it for Windows and Linux x86 PCs, and will sell it for US$ 9.98. While I don't expect it to be a huge hit, I hope I can sell a few dozens of copies, to invest in my next project.

It looks rather cool and fun.

Not sure I like the price, thought. Especially in the comparison with Humble Bundle releases. How do you plan to publish it? Via your site only?

I do hope you will release some sort of demo version for the community. Any chance a free copy for the editor of BASIC Gamer being available? For the purpose of a review, of course.

Do you think it's to high? If I make it lower, paypal will eat my profit. :(

How do you plan to publish it? Via your site only?

Once it's complete, I'll put it in my site, and also try some publishing sites. If I send it now, they'll think my game will never be finished, like 90% of the indie games.

I was looking at http://www.gameolith.com/, but that's for Linux only. I need something that's for Windows too, and makes payouts with PayPal. Any recomendations?

I do hope you will release some sort of demo version for the community.

Sure, the demo will be available soon.

Heheh, sure dude! You will have your free copy! :)

Don't know about the payout method, but Steam is killer for indie games man. There are other outlets you can check out as well. I found an older list here: http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/01/indie-f ... tributors/

[Landeel]

Hey, thank you for that list Sir.
I live in Brazil, so the only unexpensive payout method for me is PayPal.
I know about Steam. They accept PayPal from costumers. If they can also make payouts with paypal, and if they do accept my game, it will be awesome.

[sir_mud]

That list is rather old, you may want to look for a more up to date one. I don't think you'll have any problem getting on Steam if the gameplay is there, graphics look high quality. The steamworks c++ api wouldn't be too difficult to wrap, from what I can tell, for basic integration as well. Wikipedia has another list containing a few not on the other list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_distribution

[Pritchard]

Good job on aiming for a release of high enough quality that you think people will pay for it. At the very least, I hope you learn something new from the experience :)

[Lachie Dazdarian]

When can we expect the demo and the full version?

[Landeel]

I'll have to quote John Carmack here :)

It's done, when it's done.

Seriously, I want to finish this as soon as possible. Maybe in 2-3 months.
The demo will come out first.

[Mihail_B]

Looks good ! Probably is funny to play it :)

[Lachie Dazdarian]

Landeel, how can I contact you privately?

My email: lachie13@yahoo.com

I need you about something.

[agamemnus]

Nice cupcake.

L.D.: You really shouldn't put email addresses in the open like that... at least obfuscate it a bit...

[Landeel]

Hey, just checking in to tell it's almost complete.
It just needs some gameplay adjusts, fix some missing graphics, and a little more playtesting. ;)

[Lachie Dazdarian]

That's great news. Can't wait to play it.

[Landeel]

Pretty close to release.
My todo list has only 2 items now! :)
