Game News Das Geisterschiff Released

[MurkyShadow]

Downloaded the demo for later perusing. Congratulations on releasing the game.
...
First perusing is done. Enjoyed dying in the tutorial. Will give it another go later.

Spoiler

Smiled at myself reading the description about the spider bot(?), explaining you
should avoid close combat with it, while backed in a corner. I successfully raised
the IQ of humanity by decreasing its population by one I guess.

Enjoy and thanks for giving it a try m8.

A piece of advice -- take your time to get used to the mechanics. I'm rolling out an update tomorrow to give some extra info in the tutorial (and fix some micro-issues), but overall I aimed to make the game different to other crawlers and rather difficult, but manageable once the player learns the nuances behind it and starts putting them to good use.

Spoiler

(flashbacks about private stream from yesterday where the player kept walking towards enemies with SMGs and ignored the advice about trying to scare them off or trying to lure them away from the higher ground)

I hope you make a few sheckles, but none of your demos ever ran for me, just a black screen.

VIVA DAS GUNTHERSHIT!

Pre-ordered this months ago. Look forward to playing soon.

ZZ, my friend, you have done it!

Thanks pal. It appears it's still rough around the edges in a few places, but I'm working towards fixing them.

Thanks dude.

 

[PEACH]

This looks fantastic and I love the wireframe aesthetics, will pick this up the moment it hits steam and see if I can get a couple of friends to do the same

 

[CyberWhale]

Have no idea what to do on the first fucking level - how to get the D access level? I see the jammer over the abyss, but I have no idea what to do with it or how to reach it.

Sorry, it's not available in Das GuntherShit V1.

Das GuntherShit V2 will be released (with manual) sometime in the next year or so along with new "Title Screens".

Have Fun Homo Sapian!

Not sure if serious.

Don't start Cleveland "Soy Boy Mark" Blakemore-ing potential customers. What the fuck is wrong with you ZZ?

OH DERP a HERP, YOU ARE 2 DUM FOR MY GAYM!

<= Blobber newbie.

Eh, this has nothing to do with blobbers, but alright.

Spoiler

Consider trying the tutorial, since this game is different than the majority of blobbers.

Spoiler

No dice?

Spoiler

(hint) Try analyzing the file/paper-like stuff on the walls in a couple of places.

Spoiler

Search the area for a Level C keycard.

Spoiler

Then find the security office to turn off the security barrier and get into the warehouse.

Spoiler

You may want to shoot the jammer just in case.

 

[Zep Zepo]

Of course it does. If you watch the videos, it's a FPS corridor blobber. Do you even play your own game and not realize it for what it is?

zwanzig_zwoelf - I've done all of those things on my own (without going through the tutorial) but I can't shoot the jammer.
Can it be done only with a specific weapon? It says "No target found" or something similar when I try to shoot it from the bridge.

Jammers can be attacked with a quick attack by pressing CTRL. They're not detected by the targeting system by design.

EDIT: They can also be smashed if you can get close to them or turned off by pressing USE. In this case it's intentionally placed in an unreachable spot.

EDIT #2: I should definitely add information about this to the tutorial, my bad.

 

[CyberWhale]

I will need to go through the tutorial it seems. :D

Anyway, the atmosphere and music are great. The minimalistic wireframe graphics as well, although I think they will get slightly boring over time. Adding different colors to different areas/rooms would IMO be a nice touch. Cheers.

I'm thinking of using different color schemes if I'll end up making a sequel. Thanks for the feedback bro, appreciated.

EDIT: v1.0.1 will have expanded information in the tutorial, releasing that patch tomorrow, so you may want to grab it once it's out.

The dumbing down has already begun...

Congrats on the release! Great work man

Zep--

Blobbers are necessarily party-based games, where the party members are part of a single "blob" rather than having individual locations and movement rates and all the complexity that entails.

If that were not the case… all FPS games would be blobbers. This game has a single player character, not a party. Not a blobber.

Adding quest markers and romances in v1.0.2.

Congrats on the release! Great work man

Thanks mate!

 

[Mañjuśrī]

Adding different colors to different areas/rooms would IMO be a nice touch. Cheers.

Even a colour change option would be a nice touch like in New Vegas, (and possibly relatively simple to implement?)

I should sell these as DLC. First one will be fabulous and irritating pink, second one will be Virtual Boy-like due to public demand and for 60 shekels one can get blue so it looks cyberpunk.

Add red boots as dlc and you got me!

Oh Jesus fucking Christ I think that trailer turned me autistic.
