Sneaksters is a game about using teamwork to steal treasure! Players must take up one of two jobs - the Eyes and the Thieves. The Thieves' objective is to sneak though a labyrinth and collect Gemstones, but they don't have any idea what the layout of the map is. The Eyes, on the other hand, have an overhead view of the whole area, but no direct control over the Thieves' movements. The two groups must communicate in order to escape without getting busted.
You can find the latest builds of Sneaksters at https://github.com/Meorge/sneaksters-testing/releases.
Note: Sneaksters is currently in pre-alpha. There's likely to be a lot of bugs and issues, some of which may be game-breaking (although they should NOT pose any threat to your computer).
Please submit bug reports and suggestions at https://github.com/Meorge/sneaksters-testing/issues.
In order to help us diagnose the problem, please include:
- The operating system you played the game on when the bug occurred (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
- What you were doing when the bug occurred
- Screenshots of the bug (if it is visual)
- Player log files
- Windows:
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\ZenithPoint\Sneaksters\Player.log - macOS:
~/Library/Logs/Zenith Point/Sneaksters/Player.log - Linux:
~/.config/unity3d/ZenithPoint/Sneaksters/Player.log - Before you send a log file, you may want to skim through it and confirm that there is no personally identifying information (such as your name from a file path).
- Windows:
We'll try to look at every suggestion that comes in. It's possible that a suggestion may go against the spirit of the game as we see it or be too much work to implement, and as such we won't include it. Alternatively, we may already have plans to implement something before you suggest it! As such, there's no guarantee that suggestions will be included or attributed to you.
So far, Sneaksters has been translated into the following languages, in addition to the original English version:
- Spanish by patataofcourse and Malcolm Anderson
- German by Aaron Dewes
- Polish by NokNokShell
- French by RedStoneMatt
- Korean by brickblock369
- Japanese by Meatball132
Are you fluent in a language other than English? If so, we'd appreciate your help with translating Sneaksters! To get started, fork this repository using the "Fork" button in the top right corner, create a copy of strings_en.json with the language code of your language, and start translating the file! Don't forget to credit yourself in the "notes" section of the JSON file.
Once you're done translating, submit a pull request and it should be added to the game shortly, with your name in the credits.
That's why it's a pre-alpha and not a finished game! The purpose of the pre-alpha is to crowd-source bug testing so that we can get the game running nicely as soon as possible. If you find any bugs, please report them as described above.
Sorry about that! You can turn the music and SFX volumes down in Settings -> Sounds & Audio, from the main menu.
You can adjust the screen resolution in Settings -> Resolution & Quality, from the main menu. The game should resize itself upon first bootup in order to fit your monitor screen, so please let us know if it does not.
The way I had implemented the credits seemed to be causing lots of issues, and it was always meant to be a temporary fix for until I could create a "true" credits sequence, so I decided to remove it from the game. The game's credits are listed in this document for now.
Unfortunately, I don't think this is something we can really fix on our end. My understanding is that we would have to pay to get "whitelisted" on antivirus software. Hopefully when the full game is released we'll be able to do this, but until then you'll have to manually whitelist it (via turning off your antivirus or telling it that Sneaksters is okay). If you feel unsafe about doing this, you can feel free to talk to others on the official Sneaksters Discord server about it.
Since this is a public pre-alpha, we aren't planning on any monetary compensation for playtesters. In fact, no members of the Zenith Point team are expecting to receive any money from the project - the hope is to use any money we make from Sneaksters to 1) keep servers maintained and 2) start putting money into a savings fund for future projects.
Playtesters may get some benefits when the game comes out, like a free/discounted copy and/or exclusive extras. By participating in the pre-alpha, your name can also be included in the credits under "External Playtesting". (If you would prefer to have your name not be in the credits, just let us know.)
