[RELEASE] Dark Dream on Steam

esdebon

Hi,

Just to announce my first game on steam.

Dark Dream is a multiplayer where a Children trapped inside a living nightmare have only one chance to wake up. One player becomes the Dreamer and is the only one able to see the exit portal. The remaining players become Nightmares and hunt the Dreamer. Whenever the Dreamer is caught, roles immediately swap, creating unpredictable matches full of tension, deception and strategy.

Ahahaha,
I'm glad to see you posting the game on Steam,
make persistent efforts

May I ask what physics engine you are using? Thank you

esdebon

785597448 I don't actually use any physics engine; I detect collisions by checking whether a rectangle behind the character collides with the map, which is made up of rectangles—the background simply aligns with the actual map of rectangles.

Additionally, since it's a multiplayer game, the server performs validation checks on map collisions; the rule is to never trust what the client sends to the server.

It looks like the game is good,
May I ask if this is developed using "AS3.0" or "OpenFL" or other game engines?

I noticed that you are using a server,
Can Steam use its own server?

I am planning to develop a game,
So I pay close attention to developers

esdebon

785597448 It’s AS3 with Starling and Feathers, and the server is hosted on the Linode cloud

Did you draw the characters in the game yourself?

esdebon

785597448 I paid an illustrator to create them, and then I animated them in Spine

esdebon
As far as I know, 'Spine' is a paid software,
May I ask why you don't use 'Adobe Animate' directly?

I have a question that comes to mind,
The 'Steam API' seems to be written in 'C++',
Do you need to interact with "ane" and "c++" to access the "Steam API"?

For "as3" developers, does "Steam" provide "ane"?

As far as I know, "openfl" uses the "C++environment" to package "win exe",
In this way, "openfl" seems to be able to directly interact with "C++"

Please be respectful of other developers and stop posting comments and questions unrelated to the original topic of threads.

This is Esdebon's game announcement thread. Stay on topic with questions or discussions about his app or create a new unrelated thread (that also hopefully stays related to Starling/AIR and isn't actually more relevant to a different forum)

Does this' ane 'support the latest Air SDK 51.3.3.2?
Are you using 'starling. MovieClip' to create character animations?

esdebon

785597448 I’ll reply to you in the other thread I started, so as not to break the forum rules
