Title: Sniper and spotter serving the motherland
Post by: Blondbraid on Mon 01/05/2017 09:31:43
Ivan and Olga, two soldiers in the red army, finds themselves tasked with preventing a small village from falling into enemy hands. Their orders are simple, destroy the bridge and poison the food and water supply before the enemy soldiers can reach the village and destroy the bridge or poison the food and water supply...

Get the game here! (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2150)

Sniper and spotter serving the motherland is a standalone sequel to my previous game Sniper and spotter being patriotic (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2050/).
If you like this game, there is also another short game in the same setting called Fallen soldier (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/2108/).

The AGS games in production page for this game can be found here (https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54091.0;all).

Thank you so much for pointing that out, I've corrected the issue! Yeah, that is an odd coincidence with the numbers, that's probably why I didn't see it sooner.
Anyways, I'm glad that you like my art style, do let me know what you think of the game once you finish it!  :)

Finished. It was a real treat to play   :-D
The puzzles were fairly easy yet the storytelling made my day.
I like the episodic format too.

Using the  smooth scrolling module  (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=33142.0) when the charaters walk outside may reduce Olga's jerkiness.

I did think about trying to implement smooth scrolling, but I didn't notice the jerkiness in Olgas walking until I had already completed most of the rooms and graphics
in the game, and learning lots of new things as well as redoing a lot of the objects and backgrounds simply felt like too big a task for me.  :-\

I also wish to thank you all for the kind words, it's been a week I released the game and 50 downloads already!  ;-D

There is one major flaw with this game and that is:
Spoiler

it's just way too short...  :~(
[close]

Otherwise, it's perfect in all aspects!   (nod)

Glad to hear it, and I promise to try and make my next game longer and with more content!

Hey! sorry for the long delay. I finished the game long ago, then I replayed it again as a critic!

I enjoyed it a lot like the first part even more! I'm usually impatient with conversations between characters but I felt I needed more with Ivan and Olga! Loved the fun bits here and there! The cut scenes are on spot and consistent with the gameplay. I wanted more!

Sounds and background music were excellent, characters are out of question. I told you before in the Game In Productions thread that I'm in love with your characters and their expressions. Puzzles are fluently made, had fun playing and solving them.

My only 'shock' was the goat.. But what can I say.. war sucks. Another thing, I am 100% sure if you added speech the game would hit the skies!

I have a suggestion, please please make a long long long game!
BlondBraid, I hope one day you give me the honor of making a game together.

I'm glad to hear that you liked it! I guess one of the reasons for the game being so short is that the story is confined to a small village, but my next game about Olga and Ivan will definitively be bigger.
I've toyed with the idea of making a version with speech and adding it on Steam for a modest price, but it will probably be a while, if ever if that happens. Currently, my next idea for a game would be an idea I started on
back in January for a MAGS game (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=54315.0;all), but it never really left the concept stage. I drew a thumbnail image with a title for the game, this time focusing on one of the side characters, the arrogant commissar:

This month however, I'm working on a different MAGS project with Creamy, but after that, who'll know? :)

Why thank you! I have to admit, Enemy at the Gates was one of my sources of inspiration. Good luck and let me know what you think once you have finished the game!

I did really love that movie!
OK so had a decent go of your game, however did not have very much time with it so did not complete it, which I do plan on doing. It is very impressive, love your art style, interesting dialogs, and even though I did not complete it the story so far was pretty sweet. I also like how its presented with the cut-scenes too,  very good work and I can see time has gone into this.

As soon as I get through this I want to try out your first Sniper and Spotter too, I think the idea pivoting around a sniper and spotter is quite clever and you can really go wild thinking of scenarios for this.


Keep at it!
