About This Game With help from a tiny friend, embark on an epic journey to save the planet you once called home. Featuring many of the common beloved, physics based challenges with casual puzzle games while introducing its own role-playing-like feeling, Darkness and a Crowd really does set out to originate itself from the occasional 2D adventure platformers seen way too many times. A game that introduces the beauty of elements, leveling and unlocking new ways to complete the challenges that face ahead. While furthering progress in the game, you will continuously encounter many types of creatures each with their own unique styles of attacks. While some creatures are up close melee attackers, others may be ranged but slower. If you advance too quickly, you may find yourself in a scenario in which a few extra points could’ve made all the difference from life to death. All of these challenges aside, the beauty of the game lies in the way it carries out many functions. In common RPG games, a turn based system is used in times of battle. Darkness and a Crowd has found a way to adapt this style of turn based combat in a real time style. The most common example of this would be with the spickles. Creatures such as spickles take turns much as they would in a turn based RPG. They can be faced with the option to attack or move forward. However the choices aren’t randomized and really do rely on how close they are to their enemies. With larger spickles, they prove to be more difficult with their massive damage, however their downfall lies with how slow they move. If hit by a large spickle, your health will often drop below half, but the chances of that happening are low, depending on how well you know your enemy. Get used to memorizing when they will attack and it shouldn’t prove a problem. Throughout the game, you will begin to learn more of the lands you encounter. How these places live and breathe. Each new area should have a whole new set of laws different from another in which the world abides by. You will begin to get a feeling for the world as you help out the simple citizens of the towns. Gain a new understanding of the way these cultures interact with themselves and each other. a09c17d780 Title: Darkness and a CrowdGenre: Action, Adventure, Indie, RPG, StrategyDeveloper:Seth AlbertusPublisher:Seth AlbertusRelease Date: 19 Dec, 2019 Darkness And A Crowd Download Thepcgames darkness and a crowd demo. darkness and a crowd Darkness and a Crowd’s B0.9.0 Major Update: Updates. IM STILL ALIIIIVE!: Happy Holidays!!!. B0.5.1 and B0.5.2 including recent Game Breaking Issues!: Mothers Day UpdateThis Build was actually finished a while ago, Sunday the 14th, but I passed out before uploading anything. However that also means, since I'm not on as terrible of a time constraint, I can publish the update post and the update itself at the same time.The Mothers Day Update is adding a small form of parenting into the mix in the game. First of all, Spickles have been made nearly permanently weaker than they were prior. I want Spickles to be the creatures that lay as an icon over the games head. Every update seems to Nerf them but I want this one to be a final Nerfing.Outside of this, the update also entails a continuation of the missions, so player aren’t specifically told to close out of the game after beating the Spickle when more content is certainly imminent. The game will start to show off more and more features that’ll certainly be refined, but also re-used throughout the lifespan of the game. Afterwards, I’m going to start working on a clear cut story to the game so we’re not sitting here testing out different features for another eternity. But the new Storyline will be thrown inside of the next scene soon to come. So on the good news, repetition in the production of these maps can soon increase to a withstandable level. On the downside, the public beta is going to periodically be losing its continues updates. If new features happen to be added in its lifespan, they will be added. I might also allow one more level for payers to try out as well. But I want to focus on making this game a longer and more intriguing story that wont take forever to make.Once the base story line is added, I can post it as an Early Access title. Preferably a 2 hour gameplay experience at the most. When all is said and done, it shouldn’t be too terrible to beat, but a second play through of the game should only take a maximum of 30 minutes after understanding all the systems and being able to predict previous enemies.After we finish the main storyline, I’m going to start adding the features I wanted to add in the game from the start. I want to start adding a roguelike aspect to the game with scripted parts in between. But until then, I want to say the early access should be out by this Summer for people to FINALLY get their hands on the completed version of the game. It’s all just going to be repeated leveling up, solving puzzles and fighting creatures, but with a mixture of elemental plays in the mix.What had happened?The last update on B0.5.2 unexpectedly had a game breaking issue that wasn’t clearly tested until after its released, while in its editor, the error wasn’t actually spotted.Because steam is so closely integrated in the games programming, when steamworks client begins to fail, everything else does as well. The problem wasn’t necessarily Steams fault however but the Steamworks.net client implementation itself. Steamworks documentation wasn’t entirely the greatest and for some reason broke. I had to get the AppID implemented into the steamworks scripts so if you don't own the game, you can’t play it. But it also helps relate where your achievements are and where your scoreboard stats get saved online. With that broken, you don't actually get an achievement for killing your first spickle, and since you don't get the achievement, the spickle can’t die, because it wants to give you the achievement before it kills the Spickle and so on. I was about ready to eliminate achievements but that seems like a HUUUUGE part of the player base. It proved a difficult situation and I gave myself a break from working on it for a bit and cleared my mind. I got back to it and almost instantly figured out that it was an issue with not having strategically placed parenthesis -_-Thus, B0.5.2For the Future?I want to add a few more unlockables at different prices. That’s however going to be a big change in the scripts and take some time to complete. Just a few things like using the mouse to cause large amounts of damage to creatures surrounding it, or pressing down on the keyboard to launch your player faster towards the ground, making breaking the ground easier. And I want some of these to be unlockable at will, not forced like the first 3 elemental upgrades. These should come in future updates in the coming month.I’m liking the 2 week pattern between updates however I can’t promise much. The first important implementation is the town however. Once the town is finished, and the new items are implemented into the scripts, I need to fix certain things that are actually a bit game breaking in the long run. A lot of the newer updates after this are going to be behind the scene implementations over future levels.Have fun trying out the new update for those of you who weren’t aware there was actually more to test out. And for the others, there’s still a spawner at the very end to test your wits.. Nominations are up!: Whats up?. Questions and Comments?: As I've been working on Darkness and a Crowd, I've been very curious as to what my fanbase was interested in before I added things that might be seen as unexpected or confusing for the giving theme.So in that spirit, I would like to answer any and all questions regarding the game and myself under this announcement.I love hearing what others have to say and ask about this my game. Clearing confusion is part of my job and a fun way for me to interact with my community.So shoot em at me in the comments or post to the discussion.Happy 4th by the way! :)Thanks,- Seth Albertus. B0.6.0 New Abilities To Test, New level cap and more!: B0.6.0For those looking for the customization and differentiation in game style aspects, I present to you the first of many abilities to come that'll allow you to designate your playstyle in whichever way you see fit. Understandably, two new abilities isn’t much, but it does show the progression that’ll arise from keeping interests high in the game. The new abilities also come with a further progression in the concepts associated with the game itself. How certain upgrades cost more points than others and require higher levels to attribute to. How different elements will focus on different styles of gameplay. With finals “finally” out of the way of progression, I’ll have more time to work on the gameplay elements of the game. All new systems aside, it's time to further progression in the story of the game and really create something the community would be proud to share. For those of you who have stayed with me for the year of development thrown on the store page, I really appreciate your consistency in attention towards the game and I can’t wait to show both old and new members of the game, what greatness they’ve been waiting for. I am still one person, but I’m one person dead set on giving you the experience you’ve ever so been waiting for.Darkness and a Crowd Battle Royale. Closed Beta OFFICIALLY Turned Open: For those who wanted to play the game a tad bit early, the beta page should be open for everyone as of now, however I'm not quite sure how it looks. It should show up somewhere on the right side of the main page...For those who are currently part of the closed beta, that'll be uploaded first before the open beta builds since I really do expect the closed beta to break on numerous occasions. But I want to used closed beta as an even more closed testing grounds before releasing to open beta to get information on what the community thinks of certain ideas, then fix the ideas giving by the community for the closed beta to test before releasing again to the open beta. Just like an infinite loop of PROGRESS.Anyways have fun and tell me what you think of the art style and mechanics. Saving. Delayed Update: Currently, I'd like to address the my delay in posting an update. It's been taking forever and I do acknowledge that. It's been to the point where friends at school have punched me on the shoulder asking "When's the next update!?" (Thanks Donald).Well recently I have taking a little while (2 weeks) of a break before working on the game with current arising issues in my personal life and lack of inspiration.I'm about to get back on track but I just wanted to address some stuff before I forget about everything else and get engulfed in work again.I also wanted to state that there is a youtube channel to keep track of some small fun updates as well.Youtubeand just a heads up, I am by no means advertising my account or trying to get views, I really just want my community to stay informed. I could careless if anyone clicks on the link or watches a single video.What I really need to work on at the moment is a different font than the default unity fonts, a new button, better GUI layout, clearer tutorial, clearer story and most importantly, better controls.So this is all expected within the coming week, giving school has started, progress is bound to slow down, but it doesn't mean the game will be any less amazing then as expected.Thanks in advance! - Seth Albertus.
