I dunno why the utilities dont work apart the spygllass and the game just stops working (doesnt crash or freeze) when the host uses the fire estinguisher
Had a fantastic time playing this game! While the gameplay itself is admittedly pretty simple I still really enjoyed the loop and kept wanting to come back for more after it was over! I also really have to applaud the atmosphere too. The tense music coupled with the growing forest fire in the background was super immersive. I loved what the game has so far and I'm really looking forward to see what gets added later. Can't wait to play some more!
Tried making a video out of this game, but for some reason it keeps bugging out everytime the antagonist uses the fire extinguisher and it just freezes, and I can't use any utility other than the crowbar...
I got all the endings and my opinion is this: the game really manages to bring the same tension and fun as Buckshot Roulette. The developer managed to emulate the feel and even some features of the game, such as the movement and even the rusty aesthetics of Klubnika. Arsonate has great potential and is addictive to play. ALL ENDINGS HERE: Good Ending
I took the fire axe and was planning to use it, but when my cursor passed by him and it said I could target him, I immediately knew this game was peak. Even if it did nothing, it was still amazing that you get the option and get to see what would happen if you did. Love this game, can't wait for the full release!
I'm a translator fresh out of college with bachelor degree though mainly with specialization in business translation. I would be happy to do the Polish translation if you wanted me to.
I wouldn't mind doing it free of charge, if it's not that word heavy, I like the game so far after all :) Could you tell me how many words would there be to translate? For example in this demo you've put out. My discord if you want to talk about it (I don't want to spam in your comment section): archivist2580 Or my email: wasilka@spoko.pl
It is try my game out if you want let me now what you think. It's not as good as yours though. Love the match flick noise when he lights the board on fire with the gas goddam awesome!!!!!!!
Really neat game! It's also quite challenging sometimes, I'm looking forward to playing the full release. Btw I tried out the steam demo and the item animations are bugged, it zoomed in and out everywhere, hope you can check that out (I played the web version in this video so everything works fine).
Very sry to hear that the Steam experience wasn't as refined. May I know some technical details? *Operating system? (Havent tested Linux build yet.) *Framerate? (Perhaps forgot to enforce vsync.) Or perhaps you can send an unlisted video/google drive link that shows what's happening.
Hi, sorry for the late response, here's a playthrough of the steam demo, I think most item animations and transition animations are bugged, some sound effects don't play as well, I hope this helps.
You made a good point about how the shuffle sequence times-out rather quickly and locks you into the tutorial. Was afraid that beginners would keep shuffling if nothing happened for too long.
Will proly have to either increase the time, or have it based on which stack you grab first.
This is without a doubt one of my favorite Buckshot inspired games I've seen in a while! The gameplay was a breath of fresh air as I really enjoyed the idea of being in a forest fire instead of having a gun as punishment. The choice of items, the aesthetic, the music, it was overall a great experience and I could not stop playing after my first playthrough. I look forward to playing the full release! Great work, Nash!
What's crazy is that I thought a forest fire would've been a bit boring.
If you intend to play more, there are small easter eggs for people that try to be "clever"; such as attempting to attack the Host with a hatchet, or using the crowbar on the door.
There is a 3rd ending where you can reject the final deal, tho it's not as spectacular.

This game is really impressive and fun. Wow! Just a awesome game. ALL ENDINGS HERE:

Yeah I've been trying to figure out why the fire extinguisher keeps causing issues.
Never been able to replicate it myself, but got a clip from someone else.
This stuff is so hard to diagnose when it only shows up on certain computers with no apparent pattern.😭
Interesting game, I won in first run LOL
nice job lmao.

why do i feel like i have heard of this somewhere on the internet
Tried making a video out of this game, but for some reason it keeps bugging out everytime the antagonist uses the fire extinguisher and it just freezes, and I can't use any utility other than the crowbar...
very sorry to hear that.
I've been getting similar reports about the same bug.
would you mind sending an unlisted video of the incident?
I think im starting to get a few ideas of what could be happening.
Do you have like discord or anything like that ? id like to talk to you about your next possible game
nah i don't got one.
I just chill in the PirateSoftware discord.
There's loads of ppl there to talk to about game design.
I still got a lot of work to do here. 😅

thanks again!

Yea I added small easter eggs for people attempting to be cheeky.
You can even attempt to break open the door with the crowbar/hatchet, but they break and get discarded.
this game is silly...
and i LOVE it!
keep up the good work man
edit: also it seems sometimes game stops working, like when useing item no more starts
I think i heard the same thing about items randomly failing on the steam version as well.
Looking into it.
Hey, I watched your game on Manly's channel and quite liked it. Would you be interested in having this game translated to Polish?
yea I'm eventually gonna need localizations for the Steam release once I get around to that.
I'm a translator fresh out of college with bachelor degree though mainly with specialization in business translation. I would be happy to do the Polish translation if you wanted me to.
I'll let you know when i have money :')

oh sick.
not quite at the localization phase yet,
but ill keep you on a list of ppl to refer to once i do.
thanks 🙇♂️
i wonder if anyone has made a arsonator jokes
probably
wanna know why the house always wins? because the house can LITERALLY JUST USE THE UTILITIES RIGHT AFTER HE GETS THEM!!
iirc you should be allowed to use the crowbar immediately after being delivered.
Or perhaps your copy has become personalized and is now self-aware in which case im very sry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
exactly
Good)
thanks for playing!
This game is fun ass shit!!!! im addicted good job bro keep it up

Glad to hear that it's engaging.
It is try my game out if you want let me now what you think. It's not as good as yours though. Love the match flick noise when he lights the board on fire with the gas goddam awesome!!!!!!!
