When I play Focus and play the different modes, it doesn’t save my game.

Unfortunately not; Jesse Venbrux is. He designed and programmed both the original Focus and You Probably Won’t Make it. I’m the one who programmed Flash version of Focus with his permission.

Hii Joe :D Could you please update Focus? =[ Just that the explosions do not go through solid matter ;) Plssss :"*3 There are 2581 people who want that, Yes that’s true ^^

I’ve been working on a new game, and for now Focus is not, well, being focused on. Plus it’s a lot harder than you might think to change that – especially graphically. Thanks for enjoying my game th…

Oh well, I understand…Good luck on the game. I hope it comes out soon ^^

I love the game. It does get very frustrating very quickly though. I beat Normal, got stuck on Original, and quit Insane because of one level. I think it gets a tad bit too “impossible” save sheer luck and brute force number of plays. I think combined I have almost 3k deaths and a at least 5 hours on it. It gets to the point now that I can only pla…

Update: Beat original, still stuck on Insane ( the level where there are 4 two brick targets). Harder than Insane??? Are you going to speed up the focus use?!

hamuka Feb 19, 2012 3:32am

New Focus? Harder than ever? God, if that would happen, it would be awesome!!!

I got the impossible badge in a day, BTW, so I’d be very happy to see a “really insane” mode.

ha man you guys are insane, too tough for me.

I can’t write text in my level pack… Why?

comment

UnknownJoe796 Feb 19, 2012 2:21pm

You need to use the text item, which also involves using the scripting capabilities.

hamuka Feb 21, 2012 12:20pm

It worked! Thanks! :D

By the way, will there be a Players Pack of Focus?

Jan 25, 2012 7:37pm

Hi! Love Focus! Made a level pack. It’s a bit short…and I think it’s easier than original, but considering I created the level pack I’m probably biased. For you (and anybody else who would like MORE levels with Focus) – http://www.mytextfile.com/public?s=yjRmPxWZvFUluaAauJMWcWeV0wXqkwoGG79ey4Nv Good Luck! Note: All levels are completable, I complet…

How much time did you spend working on Focus?

comment

UnknownJoe796 Jan 25, 2012 10:50am

I spent one year on it. However, during that time I remade it from scratch twice. Doing it over again I think I could do it in 6 months. I’m working on the sequel now, I think it should only take 3…

Thank you soo much for making a game like focus, i played for a good few hours to get past some of those horrible levels you have concocted, and i really ask for something that shows how to get around the level editor. Imo, this game was probably the most fun i’ve had playing action game. Amazing job! :))

kongrats on such an amazing game, a 5/5 for you. The game makes you think of creative ways to solve problems, every level has many different ways to solve, original was a great warmup to get you ready for insane mode, which btw was dissapontingly easy (finished in 20 minutes) hope to get a map pack with challenging levels soon!

Ive beaten the game.
TOO EASY!
It needs a map editor.
Yould become as famous as Ngame then ;)

UnknownJoe796 Nov 27, 2011 4:34pm

Secret: Press and hold SHIFT, E, and D in that order on the title screen. There’s your map editor. I’m not going to help you use it though – there is a help button, but it is a rather complicated ed…

O.O
This…

wonderful!!!
Can these maps be exported on some way?(“Focus:player pack”)

Shiro96 Dec 1, 2011 6:35am

..Hmm Dumb question,yes :D
Now its a 7/5 game!

Hiya! I loved Focus, great game, great music, too! But the music doesn’t come back after you continue a game from the title screen :( Any chance of a fix for that?

Fixed!

shteev Nov 27, 2011 11:03am

Are you sure? I’ve completed the game on Insane mode, I’ve quit out and continued the game on that level respawning in a room with a single fast missile launcher and 4 small yellow platforms, and I’m …

UnknownJoe796 Nov 27, 2011 4:31pm

It’ll only work if you saved while music was playing in the new version. Like if you start a new file.

Attention everybody! By popular demand (really, I wasn’t planning on it), Venbrux and I are going to create a sequel to Focus. We’ve just started throwing out ideas, so I have no specifics yet, but if you have suggestions for the new game and/or complaints about the previous game, I am listening. Note that I do not take all suggestions, only goo…

The gameplay in the game “focus” would be very fluid with the mouse. Having the ability to also use the mouse (click to focus, release to travel) would be a great addition to this game (and any sequels ;) )

I would’ve enjoyed focus a lot more without the sassing, it adds nothing positive to the gameplay experience and I cannot understand why it was implemented… oh well.

Personally i think all those little messages after dying make the game a lot more fun and,it’s not like it should annoy anyone. It’s just a personal touch.

hamuka Nov 25, 2011 1:23pm

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww… I was about to report that as a bug, but as I see it now… It was the best thing in Focus. Sure, it made me angry quite a few times, but it was still fun.…

ChooJeremy Nov 26, 2011 8:23pm

Despite it being gone, whenever I die my mind thinks of messages that would come up if the text was still there “You were so close…if not for that missile/flaming debris/spike” “Flaming debris isn’t m…

You really should add a level number to the levels and how many are in the entire set. It really bothers me not knowing how much further until I can beat Original. :P

Hey, I heard this game has been originally built on GameMaker.
How did you transfer it to .swf? Can you tell me how (even through privately)?

comment

UnknownJoe796 Nov 23, 2011 1:04pm

Unfortunately, there is no direct conversion. I reprogrammed the game from scratch.

I just want to say: Huge respect on how fluid and dynamic you managed to make “Focus”. This is pretty rare, as most developers always have this large input lag and frame rate problems, especially with Flash for Linux. Somehow you got the madness of those rocket attacks just right. They are very exciting and succeeding is very rewarding.
I look forw…
