You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

I've released my second game on XBLIG (The xbox's indie program). It's called You Will Die and its a bullet hell shootem up where them enemy grows larger and more powerful after each level.

Online its at http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/ga...of=0&bt=0&sb=1 and of course in the 360 its in the Indie section. It's 80 pts.

i'll give it a shot... love that these games are so cheap

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

I remember when you first posted about this, and I planed on getting it. You said this is the second game you have released on XBL, what was your first?

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

oh, I found it Revenge of the Ball...how well did that do for you? I have always wondered how XBLIG games did for developers, because I heard that they were slow giving you guys your money.

Subtracting XNA member costs and price of background art, I made about $14 on Revenge of the Ball.
I figured a while back that I aint getting rich from XBLIG. Instead, I look at it as a way to make/play the games I always wanted to when I was a kid. And with RoTB and now with You Will Die, I'm doing just that.

I'm really proud of how the game turned out and thats mostly thanks to the people who wdid such a great job on the art and sound.

Just curious, is this a side hobby and your main job is unrelated to video game development or are you looking to use this as a springboard into a full time gig? I'll be sure to buy a copy since I mostly just play XBLA games these days (damn disc drive takes forever to get working)

It's a hobby. But gaming is one of those hobbies that finds a way to take over. I also host a daily gaming podcast (Dead Pixel Live). My brother is a big time game progammer but my main paycheck comes from being the IT guy at a catering company.

But if someone wants to offer me a job as a designer, I wont turn down the interview.

ANOTHER FUCKING SHOOTER? WHO ASKED FOR THAT? 80 POINTS? THAT'S WAY OVERPRICED. YOU WILL DIE, WHAT AN APPROPRIATE TITLE I HOPE THE WWW.360NERDS.COM SALES CHARTS SAYS THE SAME.

Oh, sorry, just trying to fit in on this lovely site here.

I love bullet hell games, I can give some feedback as a fan of the genre if you want.

Ah yes, I was wondering when the guy who thinks he is better than everyone else would drop by.

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

^ Sorry, didn't mean to keep you waiting. ;)

If Pixy was trying to slam me, I'm fine with that. :rolleyes:

As far as your game, Derrich, I just bought it sight unseen since you're a member here and if I recall the trailer looked cool. Besides, IT'S ONLY A FREAKIN DOLLAR!!!

Looking forward to checking it out tonight, though I suck miserably at those sorts of games.

I'd encourage anyone who tries the game or demo and likes it to give a good rating to the game. Often times the only way to get an Indie game noticed is if it shows up on the Highly Rated blade, so lots of good scores from us will only help!

Good luck with your new game Derrich! :D

:lol: And even though stating there are far better video game sites than this one hosted on a DVD forum, he still keeps coming back.

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

Aw shucks, you figured me out.

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

Here's some gameplay footage. This looks to be very difficult, but cool.

Wanting to sign up weren't you?

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

Absolutely!

A site for people who like reasonably priced action games? A site that tracks data so discussion will have a starting point?

Sign me the hell up!

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

We should recommend that site to the guys that appear from time to time here and say they didn't like this site.

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

Que?

Nevermind. Re-read that 5 times and finally figured it out :)

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

I should have added a few periods and/or commas over there, but that was me talking and not really trying to write.

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

Will check it out! Thanks for the heads up!

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

Well, I tried the game out yesterday. Damn it's hard to last past four rounds. Then again, I played like 8 times before I realized I had a shield to activate and could repair my ship. :lol:

Again, a reminder here for people to rate this game and rate it well!

Re: You Will Die (X360 Indie) - 80 pts
 

I'm gonna buy it when I get home tonight - can't wait. At a buck, it's like you're giving it away.
