The Gun Knight

The Gun Knight is an abandoned early access 2D retro pixel top down wave survival shooter that's been slapped together with the godawful GameMaker Studio video game construction kit from Yoyogames. It's a basic game where you get dropped in a procgen level and must shoot all the enemies coming at you until the level is cleared. While the game seems to be copied from a template, some effort went into trying to populate the game with original assets, and a procgen level system. GameMaker Studio is a very poor quality game construction kit, and unsurprisingly results in products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. Using a video game construction kit requires little to no talent or skill as a game developer. Very often, GameMaker Studio is used to make shovelware and lazy cash grabs, although in this case the developer has done the right thing by making this free. The developer was unable to come up with decent level design or game/story flow/plot, so they opted to try to use samey repetitive procgen algorithms as a substitute for adding content to the game. As a result, the game doesn't actually have any content worth mentioning, just endless, boring, repetitive, soulless algorithmically generated sameyness. Developers must learn that procedural generation is not an acceptable substitute for content. They chose to use obsolete retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. Resolution and controls are locked. These flaws push this game far below minimum acceptable standards for PC. It's clear this is a sincere attempt to develop a game rather than making a cash grab, and that's laudable, but the quality issues here are severe. The game is abandoned and will never be complete, and hasn't been touched or maintained in over 2 years. Retro pixel "art" and procgen used instead of carefully planned and designed levels are the nails in the coffin for this one.

1. Pan ekolog zowią mnie, Choć na faunie nie znam się, Chyba, że na żubrach z puszki, Co wypijam na dwa duszki, Później aluminium mam, I do skupu szybko gnam, Trochę kasy już w kieszeni, Zaraz nastrój się odmieni. Ref. Każdy ziom, zbiera złom, Sprzedaj pralkę, sprzedaj łom, Opal kable, przetop druty, Żeby mieć na nowe buty. 2. Aluminium, mosiądz, miedź, Wszystkie te metale mieć, To marzenie mam jedynie, By wzbogacić się na szynie. Takie życie jest zbieracza, Żeby nigdy nie mieć kaca, Co dzień sprzedać jakiś towar, Żeby później mieć na browar. Ref. Każdy ziom, zbiera złom... 3. Zacne buty już kupione, Wąsy, broda ogolone, Teraz mówią na mnie Pan, Lecz problemy nowe mam, Za korupcję wsadzą mnie, Bo ja na tym nie znam się. Rzucam całą tę robotę, Wole puszki zgniatać młotem.

10/10 its alright
