Catch Me If you Can, is it ready?



Hi, few weeks ago I talked to you you about hidden objects game, yes its name “Catch Me If you Can”, and maybe you are asking, where is it?, is it ready?.

Let me whisper in your ear, it’s ready since 2 weeks, what?, nobody saw it, of course no one saw it, because I did not publish it yet.

As usual I try to find new ideas for any app I make, same thing here, if you know hidden objects games you will know the idea in these games "a bird on tree, but where is it in a tree?, a cup on a table, but where".

In my game a bird can be any where on a tree, a table or any thing, a cup can be in the sky, I completed "Catch Me If you Can" game, and started testing, the game generates random objects in random pictures and you search for objects in a picture, "Hiding algorithm" was good but not smart, sometimes hiding algorithm hides an object in dark spot in photo and player can't see it, there is no one clue to find that object.

The second thing, a player will detect 60% of objects quickly then detecting becomes slow and this make playing experience uncheerful.

Now I work on algorithm where hiding becomes smart and detecting is cheerful, how long I need?

Let me tell you a secret, after calculating work hours for making the game, I found it 5 to 8 days with 8 hour per day, but It took weeks, maybe a month?!!!!!!!!!!,

Again and again and again I will tell you the same thing, I’m working in uncomfortable environment, in my environment one day means 3 or four days, sometimes mean a week.

So, my new hiding algorithm needs couples days, can I finish it in tow days?, no, because I don’t know if electricity is available or not, tow days in my environment mean 3 days...maybe a week.

And it’s not electricity only, I work on many projects at the same times and do many jobs in the same time, for example I’m writing this post while I’m uploading new updates for my last game “Buz Puzzle”, my old laptop is busy in tow things, one is rendering a video for my work and the second is testing the game.

Among those I’m writing this post, hopping every thing will be “Ok”, internet will not cut, funny fact, now I’m looking at internet icon and it tells me “Internet off honey”, no..no surprise .. no hard feelings, I used to it, I will try uploading again when it comes back.

So, Ok, I told you about the game and I will publish it for testing in few days, it will be alpha release and I hope you will help me with playing it and detecting any bugs.

Alpha release is missing some features like game store and maybe it will be a little buggy, for that your sharing are very important.

Notes: everything in alpha release is not final especially design

OK, thank you for reading and see you soon

Catch me if you can (alpha), original hiding algorithm, try to find hidden objects
