Hidden in Plain Sight -- Xbox Indie Game Preview

[Spongebobbkn]

Absolutely cracking concept - I also downloaded halfway through the video! I'm a big fan of local co-op games, far more fun than just hooking up online.

@Spongebobbkn Thanks! It's a pretty simple game, but it is actually a lot of fun. Drop a note after you've played some and let me know how it went!

For the last few days Ive been looking for some indie games (Thought I should support indie developers as they have been increasingly innovative with ideas) with local co-op to have a jam with friends. Pretty impressed with this, it has that kind of idea where friends dont just 'play' the game with/against one another, it has the... ... social factor?

Anyhow, got a handful co-op games on a list and I'll be buying this one.

Good job, man. Hope you do well with this.

@swamdono Thanks! Financially, this game hasn't made me rich, but it's gotten a lot of good reviews and user feedback, so that's been rewarding. Hope you enjoy it!

I'm definitely buying this game. Games that have genuine ingenuity deserve support, because its hard to come by. Not to mention it just seems really fun. The games that you can have fun playing with a group of friends in the same room are definitely the best.

@ArmedWithACamera I really appreciate you taking the time to post that comment! Hope you enjoy the game! :)

Excellent game! We played it last night and the few hours we played it flew by :-)

Thanks for making this great game.

What an totally unique, ingenious little game! I bought halfway through watching this video and can't wait to give it a go.

Any plans for online play in the future?

[adman123]

@BoogWeed Thanks! I hope you like it. I think you will... it really is a lot of fun.

No online play planned. The real joy and magic of the game comes from being in the same room with your opponents, though I understand how difficult that can be sometimes. Please let me know how you like it!

This game looks really fun! It looks like a video game version of the type of card or board games I usually play with my friends. I'll buy it next time we they're over.

Couldn't you have invited a friend over to demonstrate your multiplayer-only game, though? XD

[adman123]

@emmawatsonsboyfriend I have another video of live playtesting... check it out!  Video ID: 5mlU1M2N8io

I really wish this was on PSN!

Would've been an insta-buy for me! :(

[adman123]

@Thedon1981 I'm sorry too. Making games for the Xbox is VERY EASY. Making indie games for the Playstation is VERY DIFFICULT. Sorry. :(

[VladimirSteel]

played this game at a friends house last night. It was a total BLAST!

[adman123]

@VladimirSteel Thanks so much for the feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to tell me. What was your favorite mode? Least favorite? Please make sure you and your friend rate the game!

[ytmobileme]

Will this be on PSN?

[adman123]

@ytmobileme Sorry, no.

[Ninkul]

Oh god please change the font

[adman123]

@Ninkul Y U NO LIKE FONT?

[jbkrule]

@Ninkul What? You are seriously complaining about the font?

[Ninkul]

@jbkrule It's like the difference between they're, there and their. Changing it to something serif would make it feel heaps better, no joke.

Nice game modes. I have always been a fan of multiplayer stealth games that involve looking like an NPC =). The only game play aspect that seems to not work for me is the scoring system in the last game mode. Couldn't the sniper just save up his shots and then shoot all 3 people left at the end?

Then again, a relatively long cooldown on the gunshot would easily solve this problem =P

[adman123]

@4nace Right. I didn't really decide on a de factor scoring method for the Thief and Assassin game. I just figured people would make up their own house rules... like, see who can get the most coins/kills, and then switch teams and try again...

[freebryd]

Soooo you ripped off spy party. Neat!

[adman123]

@freebryd Thanks!
