THE TAX COLLECTOR is a graphic video game inspired by the likes of (mainly) Hotline Miami, DUSK, and the DOOM series, that's filled with different unique weapons, ranging from a boomerang to a whoopee cushion to a gun that shoots cats! It's a mess of blood and guts. ((scroll down for controls)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- WASD to move Spacebar to hide tooltips P to use supply drops R to use screwdrivers Click anywhere to attack (with a weapon equipped) T to throw away weapons after they become useless Press '0' to skip intermission time. To reload, simply stand close to the reload box while at 0 ammo. H to heal -------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Please avoid remixing until the full game is released!]] WARNING: Heavy and consistent video game violence, light blood (not realistic, can be turned off in settings) (scratch pls no ban) Bluetooth mouses reccomended THIS IS A DEMO. Bugs will be present. This game took me two months to create so please keep an open mind. (I started development on April 22nd.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------Credits: This was mainly a solo project, apart from some features that were inspired from other people. Boss 'Eye of Cthulu' is from Terraria created by Re-Logic. The Hallowed Health upgrade is from DUSK created by David Syzmanski. The Gunnar's Ammo upgrade is from one of my friend's games, called 'game'. Created by @epicgod3. The boomerang weapon was inspired from Terraria, created by Re-Digit. The boss 'King Slime' is from Terraria, created by Re-Logic. The boss "Ao Oni" is from Ao Oni, created by noprops. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE READ: The development of this game was 98% SOLO. No one helped on this. This took me many, many nights without sleep to make and (not an exagerration) 12000+ blocks of code to make. (And it's nowhere near done!) This is mainly just a demo. Please enjoy yourself and feel free to leave feedback in the comment section. Thank you! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ STATS: 22 weapons 7 upgrades 2 pickups 7 bosses 4 unique adrenaline debuffs 24 adrenaline debuffs 15K blocks of code ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Log: Version 0.11: Demonstration Releasal Added the following bosses: King Slime, Eye of Cthulu and the Firefly God.

To clear up any confusion: The Tax Collector will have proof of concept updates between development to actively show things that are being added into the game as its in development. POC updates are mostly limited and will be unshared/privated within a few days. This decision was made because this game will take a very long time to complete and I don't just want to have nothing on my profile for weeks and to get feedback while the game is in development. tl;dr: POC updates are limited time updates I release so i can get a break from working on the tax collector. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proof Of Concept Demo v1.03 Added the Ivy Guitar Added bosses: The Hand That Feeds, [WARP ZONE], The Apparition Added poison visual effect + a sound for when you take damage. Patched a bug where eye of cthulu wont die Patched a bug where The Hand That Feeds' orb projectiles are visually glitching. Added different styles for HP in the settings Gave the Assault Rifle a neat remodeling + a better shoot sound Gave saw spitter less accuracy and tweaked the Assault Rifle's freeplay description. Also tweaked how blood works additionally. Added the tutorial mode Changed the normal mode map from a grassy field to a horrid dungeon Added a cutscene that plays when entering normal mode Fixed an error where Gunnar's Ammo description in freeplay says it lasts for 30 sec + buffed it to last for 20 seconds instead of 10 Added the gas mask upgrade Extra hud now shows your Framerate when enabled. Tweaked the main menu ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfinished v1.04 Added more gore ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I regret to inform you that Tax Collector is officially discontinued. I decided to do this because I think that this game is simply just too ambitious of a project for the scratch system. There are frequent frame rate drops, lag, and other things that are getting in the way of development. I will share this mainly for myself, but also if anybody else wants to remix this or anything. I'm sorry for this disappointment. The game might take a bit long to load so patience is a virtue. Thanks to everyone who is reading this. THE TAX COLLECTOR
