Choko Loco 2 on steam

Hi
I made a game with Z game editor that has been released on steam.
Regrettably, It has a silly adult theme (a friend dared me to make it)
but it is actually a cool 3d platformer.

There was a read me file that was connected with the game, that documented more about it, and I thought that would be available on steam,
unfortunately it isn't. The main thing is that in the documentation I thanked Kjell and Ville Krumlinde, for help with coding. Many of the questions I asked over the years (and the great responses I got) made it possible for me to make this game. I really think it's quite cool, and shows off the capabilities of Z game nicely. Another point, the actual game could compress to about 7mbytes, but because there is a sort of prejudice, people simple couldn't believe that a reasonably sized game could be compressed so small, I left the version for download uncompressed, which is about 130mb (or something like that)
Hopefully the next game wont take so long. :) :lol:

Cool :). This is to my knowledge the first ZGE game on Steam.

Oh, excellent. well done!

261 MB!? Wow...

It worked really well on my huge screen, but the viewing angle is wild. You don’t need motion sickness to feel it :lol:
I played up to level 4, where you fall into the... mud? Then I pressed Escape to answer a call, and it quit the game :o

Hey Thanks for checking it out! and thanks to Ville K and Kjell for helping answer my questions over the years.

I'd really like to finish more games that are a bit more normal hopefully.

Z game editor is really good for making games, I don't understand why more people don't use it, it probably partially comes down to the name confusing people.

yeah the view in the game is a bit trippy, I coded it when I was stoned and I liked how the screen ratio looked at that time, but I know what you mean causing motion sickness, I think it adds to it. In an early version the character walked slowly and there was a "run" button, but I thought that made the game boring so I removed it. I was also working on several additional levels where the player gets eaten by a whale and is inside it's stomach/guts, I finished most of them but it was taking too long and I wanted to work on new games. Also fun fact, the game got banned in Germany, because of the hitler boss. also this guy did a pretty cool lets play, I just thought i'd put a link, incase somone reading doesn't feel like paying for it on steamhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2_zwsDzOAU

Almost a two hour video, I didn't realize this game had so much content :). Looks like some interesting level design and cool bosses. I'm impressed you had the perseverance to finish this project.
