Toy Factory Complete

Hey all!

I've finished "Toy Factory". My RentACoder artist, Richard, did amazing, over-the-top work. If you like what you see below and are interested in contacting him, you can get him at his web site xtro32.com or on RentACoder under the user name Words & Images.

The first image is the main menu. Richard envisioned a "Whack-A-Mole" style menu that I fell in love with immediately.

The second image is the in-game graphics. Before I had wires for an electronics-themed game. Richard created conveyor belts.

The final image is the Toy Collection room. This is where you buy toys with the money you make repairing the conveyor belts.

I had 2 last minute testers yesterday. I watched them play for about 2 hours. This gave me a few minor changes to make, but other than that, I'm done!

I've submitted to a few game portals, but haven't heard back yet. In the meantime, I created a class which puts the game in a demo or full version mode. Hopefully, this will make adding a game-key verification system trivial to add.

I also created an installer. If you need an installer, I highly recommend InnoSetup with ISTool. This tool makes it very easy to to create installers and uninstallers.

Wish me luck!

Very cool, William. Seems like a neat concept. Good luck on distribution!
