We made it! We launched our first beta release of "Versteckt". But first of all:

What is "Versteckt"? 

Versteckt is a simple Hide'N'Seek game. Inspired by the great game mode "PropHunt". Go in a room, change yourself into a object and don't get found by the seeker. Or if you are the seeker just go in the rooms and search for the hiding players. It is fun and it is exciting at the same time. But why did we developed a game which already exists? Because of:

The language of games:

Razbuten made a pretty good video about this topic: 

Since the whole pandemic, more and more of my non gamer friends wanted to play with us. They wanted to get some adventures without leaving the house. BUT this is not that easy. For me, a guy who learns how to play video games since he was 6 years old this is all clear. How to move through different genres. How to navigate in games. It's all simple. For the most of my non gaming friends, this isn't. So the only games we can play where things like "Monopoly" online or "Name, Place, Animals, Things" and the only real pc game which was learnable for them was among us.
They loved the idea of prop hunt, but they where overwhelmed by ego shooter games (which are mostly the base of this game mode).

So we decide to bring prop hunt to a 2d top down game like Among Us so they can play it with us. But:

Who is we?:

We are a very very small team. At leas we are one Code (yeah that's meeee) and one quality gate (my girlfriend). So i made the game build up from nothing, and she tested it and gave me ideas how to improve. Since she is a non gamer, she was the best quality gate i could wish:)
I had some help from some coding friends but most if it was made by myself. And the most of the art was purchased at itch.io.

Information should be free:

The whole game is Open Source. You can learn from my mistakes. I post code updates, you can help improve it, add your ideas and so on. But keep in mind i am a full time software developer. My time table is full, so i am not the quickest in publishing new updates. Whats my Devlogs:

The game will be available as Mobile game soon. Learn from my Code/Mistakes: https://github.com/curious-lynx-studio/Versteckt

At least you can watch the well known streamer "Vimlark" playing this game:  https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1022571500?t=03h35m02s

Known Bugs: Sometimes the game stops on counting down if your lobby is public. We try to fix this.
