Great job sir, and welcome to the forums! Your very welcome!

Game needs a leaderboard .

I agree. I originally planned to have that, but for a number of reasons, I didn't end up doing it.

So, next week I'm going begin adding in global and friend leaderboards (and possibly a 2 player mode I've been thinking about).

I may or may not change the way local scores work -- right now, each local profile gets their own high scores list instead of just having one list for everyone that's playing on the same Xbox. Any opinions on that?

Also, sadly, because of a ton of poor coding decisions I made early on, adding new things can take a lot more work than it's supposed to. So it may take a while, but I'll let you know when the leaderboards are live.

Are there other features you'd like to see put in?

Any plans for a PSN release?

Consider it done. Easter egg incoming

So unfortunately, PSN isn't as completely open to indie games as the Xbox Live Indie Games platform, and because QTE Champ is such a purposefully simplistic looking "micro-game," it probably wouldn't be approved for sale.

There's a glimmer of hope though: QTE Champ II will be an enhanced recreation of the much more popular QTE Title Champ from the arcade in Shenmue (the 3D one where Ryo punches pads). Even though the variety of button prompts drops down to three, because it's a 3D game, it's much more likely to appear on PSN. I'm planning to start working on QTE Champ II early next year. I'll be using some of the code base from QTE Champ, so the production shouldn't take too long.

Edit: Just a heads up for anyone that was interested: The 3 download codes that I designated for the forums have all been given away. Sorry :(

This is very cool! It's a shame that you can't release on PSN. When you remake QTE Title Champ, why not retain the complexity of the one you have done, rather than just have it as three buttons? Or maybe as a harder mode? Also, you could do this in Flash or Java or something and have it on the net.

Very cool. I too spent a lot of time on this in You Arcade!

You're right about everything (button prompts for QTE Champ II and PC ports). I won't make any promises, but I'll try to do everything you suggested to the best of my ability.

I would buy this game if I had an XB360 but sadly I only have a PS3 so I will have to wait and see. For now I can just start up the old dreamcast and play EXCITE QTE until my Timex alarm goes off. But this seems awesome and more convenient, and more advanced. Great work and a job well done. Now you just need to make Shenmue III.

I'm going to buy this tonight! I loved QTE Excite 2. Any chance for QTE Title???

It's in development!

When it's done and ready for release, I'll make a thread with a gameplay video. When it's actually released, I'll make sure to let you and the rest of the forum know. And I'll be here with download codes to giveaway as well.

Thanks for the support. Sincerely, I mean it.

Man, just found this topic, I absolutely loved the QTE games in the arcades in Shenmue I and II. Played them all of the time, totally addicted to them every time I play any of the Shenmue games. I'm going to be another person requesting a PS3 version, since I don't have a 360 either. Really appreciate the work you've done here though. I look forward to QTE Title. How has the game done on 360, so far?

To date, there have been 41 purchases and 558 trial downloads. And I think I've given away about 10 download codes.

I expected less than 20 sales though because of the niche nature of the game and because the Indie section on the Xbox marketplace is small, sort of cluttered, and difficult to find from the dashboard.

Once it reached 20 sales, I considered the game to be a success and worth the inexcusably long development time.

If I can help it, QTE Champ Round II will be released on PSN in addition to the Xbox 360.

Well done! I am also in the PS3 club so count another download once that sees a release

I bought a copy!
