A downloadable game for Windows

This is a submission for the Haunted PS1s Horrifying Halloween Gamejam of 2019.

The theme was a horrorgame in an low-rez PS1 style.


I thought to make a horror game about delivering pizzas because that's not something you often see.

This game is more a tech demo than a game because I kinda ran out of time, but that's fine since I learned a lot along the way!

I've also never delved into the horror genre before, so I thought it could be fun to try stepping out of my comfort zone!


System Requirements:

  • Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10.
  • Latest version of .NET Framework.
  • Latest version of DirectX.
  • Built-in pizza oven.


Things to note:

I didn't program a good text-skipping system, so if you left-click while a dialogue is being printed it will skip that entire text onto the next one, so don't click if you like to read.

Do NOT press 'E'. Doing so softlocks the program until you restart it, I kinda put in a debug message that I forgot to remove afterwards (I know that you're going to press it anyways but hey there's no harm in tellin' ya).

The game is very unfinished so remember that when the lights go out, that's basically when the game ends, ALTHOUGH, some interactable objects DO get different dialogue popups.

If you get an error message about some crust shader or something, just restart the game until it works.

To play the game, extract the contents of the zip into a folder and then click the exe file!


Seeing as this game is highly unfinished, I'm planning to work more on it after the gamejam so that I can release a better version with all the originally planned content, (and trust me, there's a LOT of those).

But all in all, this was definitely a fun and educational experience!

So uh yeah! Hope ya enjoy this fun little test I put together and look forward for the enhanced version!

Update:

I've uploaded a new version that hopefully fixes the issue with the game sometimes crashing on startup!

I hope you continue with this project - I really like the crisp artstyle and your sense of humour is great. I made a gameplay video with commentary as part of a series on the Haunted PS1's Horrifying Halloween Game Jam.

Tried alt+enter to fullscreen, unfortunately didn't work. Still stuck in gameboy mode.

Nah bro, you're not pressing the them hard enough.

I will look further to this project, and this is not a joke. I hope you can make something out of it, notify me if it gets an update.

Eve-

"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible."

Oh sorry i pressed E again. Bee movie script is a great meme.

Even though this game admits and is proudly a meme, i really enjoyed playing it. The pixelated graphics, the idea of a horror game about delivering pizza. And yes, the idea, its good.

I liked how it is made, in game maker,  graphics and models are well made and the screen resolution with the pixelated graphics looks and plays smoothly and great. It reminds me of lostboy.exe. Even though its cheap, if this game would have a jumpscare in the end i would actually be very scared. This game is extremely unfinished, but its polished.

Now the very obvious. What i would like is if you would finish this game and add the pizza delivery part in the night. At least make 5 minutes of gameplay, for now, its just a piece, instead of making other games i really recommend you to fully complete the game, it has potential and it looks good but it ends awfully, on literal nothing.

I know its a test and is made for a gamejam but it would be good to see what happens next.

what does

FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation

stack frame is
gml_Object_obj_controller_crust_Draw_64 (line -1)     mean?

Oh it just means that one of the shaders failed to start when the game started, but you don't have to worry about it, just restart the game and it should work sooner or later.

i tried it over 34 times, but it still does not work

Then your computer might be too slow for it to work, I'll try to fix it when I have time.

I like it so far! Hope you finish it one day
