I've (possibly) finished making a game

Well Nazis did say Heil Hitler quite a bit... even in salutes. I mean to randomly shout it is one thing but to hear it really wouldn't have been uncommon. There is historical precedence.

And a large number of high-ranking Nazis strongly opposed Hitler, so it's not exactly wrong to have a group of Nazis who don't worship him.

also, a large number of germans really didn't know how far the party went with their aryan bullshit. they mostly saw that the party was fixing the economy and built a powerful empire out of nothing. most americans wouldn't give a shit if we eliminated certain people if the unemployment rate went down and their pay went up.

A gay Nazi could easily been seen as going for cheap laughs as well since it's XD SO RANDOM/IRONIC.

also the captain is non-flamboyantly gay

His homosexuality is only indirectly stated at the end of the game. Before that there are only very subtle hints.

he's gay because gay nazis did exist and they were never open about it for obvious reasons. it's never used as the butt of a joke

[spoiler]Also, there are no playable masculine gay characters in games.[/spoiler]

I want this now

can you give it to me now?

I can give it to you free whenever I finish it, which will probably be in about 2 weeks.

The completion date's been delayed a bit (again) because I went home for a few days.

However, I'm at a point where 2/3 of my work is testing and fixing stuff. It's basically done.

I'll try recording some videos sometime soon and maybe let some people play it before it's finished.

how much would it cost if you were to sell copies

also are there any full-body concept art of your characters

$5 is the plan. The total map size is much larger than Super Metroid's and there's loads of content, so I feel like it's a reasonable price. What makes me sad is that I feel like most people won't even want to pay that much because it runs in a browser, even though great games like VVVVVV are less than half as long as my game and easily sell for the price just because they run on the desktop.

some characters, yes

if you want people to play it you should lower the price just a tad man
i don't think the browser thing will be a problem if they can download the whole thing and run it in their own browser window and whatnot.
i dunno

the people who wouldn't pay for it wouldn't care whether it's $5 or 99¢. those same people won't even buy great games like the binding of isaac just because it's made in flash the only price that'd probably guarantee more sales would be $1, but then profit margins are lower than with a $5 game and i'd have to sell five times as many games, which is unreasonable.

half of the people who want the game will buy it for $5 and the other half would buy it if it was $1. if i see that sales are shit in the first few weeks, then i'll lower the price to a dollar or two and see if it helps but i don't want to risk losing that much potential money too early.

Is there any way to play it outside of a browser? I would gladly pay the $5 for it if I could play it outside of my browser.

If you can find a way to execute HTML and Javascript outside of a browser, sure.

also, running in a browser doesn't mean you need an internet connection to play it.

I know that, I'd just like to be able to launch it from my desktop and have it run from its own independent window.

Copy a browser shortcut to your desktop, modify its icon and name as you see fit, and change its execution line (in properties) to something like (for chrome)

Code Select

C:\some\path\chrome.exe --app="http://some_web_address"

I believe Chrome's "app mode" simply launches a lone window for the specified web page, instead of adding a new tab to an existing window, and also removes the tab bar and other toolbars from the new window. I believe other browsers have a similar mode that uses a different command-line argument name.
