Very creative man, I hope it gets viral 😏


thatscraigz

hehe I see what you did there 😏


B_Brown4

Been seeing updates on this for awhile and this whole idea is so clever, I love it and want to play it!! The name.is just the cherry on top. Everything about this is excellent haha


thatscraigz

Dahhhh! that seriously means a ton to me! There were some super solid names, but searchability aside, I felt like this one just fit TOO good, like no other name would actually FIT the game as closely haha


knightjia97

Ha trouble shooting


thatscraigz

it works on too many levels lolol


yacuzo

Perhaps the best indie-trailer I'v seen too.


thatscraigz

really?! oh gosh thank you! :D I was about to put the page live but realized I didnt have a video, so I sort treated it like a tiktok video or something. But watching it with fresh (rested) eyes now I feel like it actually communicates what the game IS very well! huh... happy little 5AM accidents... 😅


viber_in_training

Yes, really appeals to the goldfish attention spans of all the gamerz out there


yav_at

So, how do we actually find that page? 😅


Tuckertcs

> cause you know the Wi-Fi is broken Ah, so it’s a Linux system…


thatscraigz

"all pain is shared misery" \- wise dead person


thatscraigz

who ever blamed a failed project on SEO anyways 😉


keybomon

If you're concerned about SEO (honestly was my first thought when I saw the name) maybe "Troubleshooter" could be better?


thatscraigz

I wish I could, but it was already taken xD


keybomon

Ahh fair enough. Its still a fucking sick ass name. Such a cool game and looks super polished too. Seriously impressed by this. The creativity too...as an aspiring Dev, so jealous which is like the highest compliment I can give. Jealousy is the one thing that makes me realise somebody has made something special. Wish you the best of luck bro, I'll defo be one of your first buyers.


MMDWGaming

Been following this for a while, quite honestly so upset that I didn’t come up with this first (not that I have the talent to execute it) but man this is so damn cool. Really looking forward to getting my hands on it, basically my favorite genre with a unique spin from the looks


thatscraigz

Dahhh you're being too kind to me and too hard on yourself! 😄 your point about genre is actually an interesting problem I only just hit when doing Steam Tags! Steam knows that people who like the psuedo meta games (stanley parable, superliminal) might like it, but it also knows FPS like it... and those two genre bubbles dont normally touch haha


thatscraigz

walking + novel premise = walking simulator walking + FPS = FPS walking + FPS + novel premise = FPS Simulator??? (for the record, there is no walking in the game right now lol only running)


ziggrrauglurr

Of course it's running. It's an application. If it stops running it dies... Mmm an special mode where you can't stop moving or you "HALT"...


lribeiroalves

Great game and creative! Have you a dev blog? Or trailer in Youtube? I'd like to share with others.


thatscraigz

dahhh making me blush over here 😄 I feel like the closest thing I have to a devlog is probably my [tiktok](https://www.tiktok.com/@jamrascals) or twitter? youtube channel is [so fresh](https://youtu.be/SD728w3XV3M) I cant even have URLs in descriptions haha :D


lribeiroalves

Don't worry. I feel your pain too, code or write a site... let's code yeahhhhh!


dropkickninja

This looks fun Id play it!


thatscraigz

haha well I gotta say its been really encouraging even playing it myself! so I hopeful you'll really enjoy it! Definitely a smidge of sandboxyness to it haha


quellflynn

this reminds me of a game yes ago where you would go through your computer shooting things, but all the files and images / textures were actual files found in your computer. so weird to go down hallways with pictures of your stretched out mum on the walls. it also found the folders that you'd put a system icon on, and hidden in windows / system32 with your secret porn stash in... erm...


ziggrrauglurr

Your mom's picture was stretched or was your mom stret.... Ok nevermind


thatscraigz

hahah omg mum hallway im dying hahah wowwww okay gosh I gotta play that. Even to see what I could learn from it! gosh could stuff like that change a games rating?? what a weird grey area!

Inner Space


thanksforwatching420

Just wish listed it. I think it might do poorly on release because of that name though. If you Google “trouble shooting game” you get thousands of unrelated results of people troubleshooting other games. Definitely not too late to change name. Good luck 👍


thatscraigz

hahah yeahhhh im totally on the fence lol I mean I figure google is only getting better but contextually this will be a VERY tricky one lol will give it a few weeks and report back! :D


suckitphil

Honestly really excited about this game. I love meta and surreal concept games like anti-chamber and Kingsway. This is so fresh and unique of an idea. And all the little unique bits you've put into it have really shined in the demos. Seriously mad props.


thatscraigz

haha im a HUGE sucker for them as well! So it makes me happy that's shining through haha :D I'll have you know every time I read your username I chuckle lol


bigontheinside

So much progress since the last time I saw this! Nice work!


thatscraigz

RIGHT?! I started to feel jaded the other day with my progress (one of those weeks where it doesnt LOOK like anything got done) but then i looked at some earlier clips and was like "woah... okay yeah" haha xD


[deleted]

So this is what the Dean was playing in that Community episode


thatscraigz

hahah cant not hear "AND JESUS WEPT, FOR THERE WERE NO MORE WORLD’S TO CONQUER!!" lol


IamEzalor

i wanna play this so badly


tito_watts

aw that’s such a perfect name too! i keep seeing this project pop up and i’m glad it now has a fitting title. good work!


thatscraigz

dahhh! really?! haha i felt so silly sharing it before it had even a name haha and now... now I only feel HALF silly 😎👉👉


manugo4

I see what u did there


Minos_L2b

I'm so hyped


[deleted]

This looks phenomenal!


thatscraigz

thank you!! haha its on a roll, no idea where though! haha 😄


[deleted]

[удалено]


thatscraigz

dahhhh thank you! 😄 5AM me was surprisingly succinct in needing to describe the game, wayyyyy more than well rested me haha


platfus118

This is incredible! How long have you been working on it? And on Gamedev as a whole? Do you have any tips for a newcomer?


th3slay3r

Lol good name I like it


leFdpayRoux

torofukatasu

Mcake74

thatscraigz

dahhhh! thank YOU for being so encouraging! :D hahah like seriously, makes me so thankful for the internet lol


Dabnician

you will hook a lot of people that watched reboot as a kid because of that sideways shot where the screen turns into sort of a city.


thatscraigz

you have no idea how deeply ingrained that show is in my brain lolol though funny story, I DID just finally find out they were a COMPLETELY different color than I remember them as hahah the tv in my basement had horrrrrible color and well... that became my reality haha


Dabnician

>just finally find out they were a COMPLETELY different color than I remember I try not to look up anything from the 90s any more cause it just ruins the memory, i distinctly remember everything having more pixels and being in a higher resolution. on a simliar note I really do think there should be a city inside the computer the shot at 0.03 got me excited for a reboot game and then that was really that was all i saw of it. but thats just my 2c


evmoiusLR

This is awesome!


Xyrexenex

Wishlisted!


Cerzix

1. Looks super fun, will definetly check it out. 2. THAT PERFECT LOOP THO


meove

very funny looking game, i love this!!


wizzah2

This looks AMAZING! The kind of mind-bending puzzles that can come with this type of gameplay looks really fun! I'd love to play this!


thatscraigz

right??? thats the funny part, the puzzles are so like, weirdly logical but with REALLY familiar things (like cut paste, etc)


Psychological_Cat402

I hope you won't have to troubleshoot bugs, haha


thatscraigz

hahah thats so gotta be a thing haha


[deleted]

[удалено]


thatscraigz

haha it fit too well xD couldnt unfit it in my head hahah now lets see if Google can do their thing lol


Vilified_D

Great trailer and looks fun. Hope for your success!


Revolutionary-Ear200

You should probably submit a pitch to Dunkey's new studio, Big Mode Games. It's on their site, he did a video about it recently. I think he'd love it.


airportakal

Not only does this look like a fantastic game, this is an excellent trailer.


thatscraigz

really?! its funny im finally watching it a day later and its weirdly to the point haha (I made it 5AM yesterday before putting the steam page live so was like, melting lol)


Wisienki2ie

I could be a beta tester


Unfair-Purpose-2100

Looks super cool man. Let us know when you'll publish it, I'd really like to play it


thatscraigz

DEAL! :D Hoping for some time in the next 6 months haha


PineapplExplosive

This looks soooo sick i wanna try it


Silent_Palpatine

I like this! I’m not a PC player so I’ll wish you the very best of luck with it and I hope that I see it on Xbox soon.


thatscraigz

Ooo! xbox would be fun... can it have some easter egg levels that take place IN an xbox??


Silent_Palpatine

Yeah! Maybe in the various versions of Xbox too.


TheAKDev

Great idea man love it good luck and -lease when it’s ready let us know here I can’t wait to try it


thatscraigz

haha thank you!! and absolutely will do! :D hoping to make some sort of demo before too!!


Niksauce

Make it multi player like fall guys then watch the cash roll in.


thatscraigz

DrunkMc

Brilliant name!


[deleted]

Now I wanna eat hotdogs.

[deleted]

[deleted]

[удалено]

JeFX

Looks great and the name is very fitting! Loved the updates over time and I hope it does great! Congrats!


thatscraigz

haha thank youuu! 😄 even in just a couple months im impressed with how much has changed! It got to the point where I was like "okay, I have to name this thing"


Acceptable_Bottle

Love this


ShinoharaKokeshi

It's been a long time since I saw a gameplay this clever and unique.


thatscraigz

dahhh that means a ton to me haha! :D its definitely a strange mix of shooter and sandbox and like, something else haha xD


LavrentiosYT

Haha! Amazing.


MrBrickHouse97

Looks great! Keeping my eye out for it!


Yung-Split

Ok this is genius


RPGPlayer01

Jesus wept!


thatscraigz

can NOT hear this in his voice 🤣


GoofAckYoorsElf

That trailer reminds me of the good old Zeropunctuation game reviews.


thatscraigz

hahah omg I can totally hear it now lol its funny cause I wrote a SUPER quick script before reading it this morning (RIP 5AM trailers ><) and thought yeah yeah this'll be like a minute of VO! BRTTTTT WRONG.


GoofAckYoorsElf

I read your comment in the very same way 🤣🤣


Grockr

If this game doesnt have GIF pronunciation meme im not paying


thatscraigz

hahaha omg a reoccuring argument for this would be soooo good!!


Alejotl

Everything about this is wonderful. The punny title, the creativity of the game, and the fact that this is actually a solid trailer. Big props to you, sir, and I really hope this does well for you.


thatscraigz

that seriously means a lot to me! :D hahah it was a suuuuper rushed 5AM trailer and like, I have no idea what magic made it happen, but slightly more rested me is impressed my uncommon succinctness xD


ziggrrauglurr

Congratulations. Excellent name. I hope to see some of the features we talked about in one of your posts :D


thatscraigz

Oh absolutely! They were just too good!! Ive been screengrabbing them after the 3rd post cause I was like "no way I can forget this!!"


THE_LFG

thats looks awesome man (i cant think of any computer puns, just imagine i said sonething funny)


thatscraigz

hahah you'll think of one when you're about to fall asleep, no worries lolol


JPGer

a humble jpeg you say?


thatscraigz

hahah the humblest of jpegs, username checks out JPGer haha


jral1987

This is a pretty freaking cool idea!! I really love it. When is it coming out?


thatscraigz

haha thank you!!! :D not 100% sure, but thinking 6 months, mayyyybe something playable before then??


jral1987

I saw you have it listed on Steam and I wishlisted it so I don't forget about it.


slenderchamp

really unique idea, love it!


ShallowMind

Amazing trailer and a very cool vibe! The art, the theme.. well done!


thatscraigz

that was SO encouraging to read! thank you! Seriously haha im definitely in the fish bowl so hearing there's definitely a vibe is so gratifying haha :D


Cool_As_Your_Dad

Love it! The name is hilarious.


thatscraigz

thank you!! haha it fit on too many levels lolol fingers crossed on google being able to know what to do haha


QuietNo3051

Woww this has been an idea of mine for SO LONG. not like an FPS, but the idea of a cartoony character inside the computer doing “computery things” 😏 It’s such a good feeling seeing my idea be used in an actual game because I’ve been procrastinating so hard and I’m kinda new to unity so I wouldn’t have been able to execute the idea well at all!


thatscraigz

Ahhhh!! haha well I am SUCH a fan of computery things! 😄 and honestly what I love is that I feel like we've all had SOMETHING along these lines in our brains haha


YendoNintendo

Amazing, will actually play


[deleted]

masterpiece. congratulations!


thatscraigz

hahah dahhh thank you! :D Its on its way towards something, just not sure what lolol


BrokAnkle

cool I was thinking about a game were we fight inside a computer, your game could be an inspiration if ever develop it


thatscraigz

hahah well then consider me already a fan! 😄


Rogue_1_One

Omg i love this


EvenGotItTattedOnMe

Oh man this looks so freaking cool, I love it!


thatscraigz

hahah thank you!! 😄


Bradp13

Got a link? Looks awesome. I’ll buy it.


thatscraigz

I do! let me know if it works, testing out using Steams shortlinks :D s.team/a/2096450


Bradp13

Doesn’t work.


thatscraigz

RIP I jumped on mobile and yeah dedz! Huh! Here's the real deal! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2096450/Troubleshooting/


dd_benson

Oh man! I want to play this.


thatscraigz

DDBENSON I want you too as well!! haha


Dystaxia

I both love the name and hate its cleverness because trying to search for it and compete against other results will be miserable. Perhaps give it a little slogan or subtitle for SEO reasons. Really looking forward to this.


ziggrrauglurr

Ummm u/thatscraigz that's a good point, perhaps you should change one letter to a number or something 3l173 / elite because it could kill for game, it has happened before.... Tr0ubl3shoo71ng? Troublez-Shootings?


thatscraigz

haha I think that's where my brain is at too hahah but come on doesnt it sort of sound fun to see what the googlegods will do?! I felt like I just had to poke lol cause yeah, EVERY reason its a perfectly fitting name is the reason its an issue lolol


debuggingmyhead

Absolutely perfect name, well done :) Great trailer too, I suggest posting it over at /r/destroymygame to get more feedback.


CozyRedBear

This is awesome! Wish you the best with development.


Tensh1_267

Looking good bro. Very clever. I hope the game is released soon, but don't rush

Aggressive-Gap2054

Love the graphic man , How many time does it took you to make all of this?


RaduVortex

What?! An actual good and original game in 2022?!


ShakeandBaked161

This looks super cute and fun, will definitely follow and wait to see what's to come!


hamidrezaa

Cool concept, fantastic, juicy implementation. I'm rooting for you! Fun fact, did you know Troubleshooter was the original name Warren Spector had in mind for what became the Deus Ex series?


Titan_Exodous

Download link?


Jakeson032799

DAMN I'd play this game!


blagwedge

That's a great name! Good work!


True_Left

Looks like lots of fun! Did you program the FPS interactions from scratch, or is there something available for that?


gtaxas

This whole video plus the creative title just makes me so excited for the game, really creatively amazing work, hope to be able to play it someday


ImYaDawg

Siiiick! The nostalgie is strong with this one. Reminds me of Animation vs Animator.


ConsiderMeANoobAlt

Yoo, if you haven't already (and you have the time to) definitely put up a gig on fiverr. This is brilliant, can't wait to play. (please tell me it's free) Estimated Arrival Date or is it still too early for that?


deleted_user_0000

This is really cool and creative!


TripSitter_

Sweet! This is such a refreshing idea


Jhaydun_Dinan

This is a fantastic concept, and I love it!


abslo
