Precarious Potions

[Ryguy]

Hey everyone,

 

This week marks the beginning of an adventure in app stores for me. I wrote a post-mortem of my game, Precarious Potions, to wrap up development (which lasted almost two full years). I thought the community here would be interested in both the article and the game, which was of course written in HTML5 before being wrapped for app stores. There is also a web version should you not feel like downloading any apps at the moment.

 

For the post-mortem: http://creativeinkgames.com/2014/03/05/precarious-potions-post-mortem/

For the game: http://www.precariouspotions.com

 

Any reviews, comments, tweets, etc. etc. are greatly appreciated. I'm sure everyone here knows what the "joy" of self-promotion is like.

 

Thanks for reading and/or playing!

I played the demo. It looks really nice and polished. It good to see so many positive reviews on the Play Store   ]

How about putting it on the Chrome Store?

 

I wish there was a way to turn off the music.

Thanks!

 

I definitely could put it on the Chrome store. With HTML5 the options are pretty limitless, are they not?

Mute buttons. I always forget mute buttons. Thanks for the thought.

Game looks great and very polished, good job. Also thanks for writing up a post mortem.

How was your experience with construct2 while working on a game like this?

[Ryguy]

Construct 2 has been a real pleasure to work with. Unfortunately I started running into some performance problems within the editor (not the running game) as the game reached 300+ events along with the large number of images I used. Next time I work on this scale I will probably take more precautions to keep the editor running smoothly. It suited my needs, though.
