I think you won't have that problem with other browsers though....\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@hissssssssss It's highly possible that your problem has to do with the OpenGL version. The target of my engine is &gt;= 3.0. I'm still trying to make it available for lesser versions but that would probably demand changes in my engine code. For the mean time I will upload again the game with the console open so it can print errors and the OpenGL version. I also tried to change the shaders a bit, so maybe it will work but maybe not &gt;.&lt;"},{"author_name":"Andrea","author_uid":"44353","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 7:31pm","epoch":1429557960,"text":"Nice game and sweet use of the theme!\r<br\/>I wish the player wouldn't turn around because it gets a little nauseating, but great game nonetheless!"},{"author_name":"nihilaleph","author_uid":"49665","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 7:58pm","epoch":1429559580,"text":"Thanks @Andrea!\r<br\/>Sorry about the sprite rotation &gt;.&lt; I wish I could make the animation\/better sprites to make the game feel better, but didn't have enough time\/skill xp"},{"author_name":"Hectate","author_uid":"19412","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:39pm","epoch":1429565640,"text":"Hilarious.

Things I liked:\r<br\/>- the weight of the objects effecting your speed. makes it super tactical to choose which item to use as weapon\r<br\/>- the variety of different attacks (throw, stab, swing). again makes interesting combinations between object and attack.\r<br\/>- the feel of movement\r<br\/>suggestions:\r<br\/>- if you get caught without an object between guys and can't move you are dead. i think stab and swing should continue to work even if i am not holding an object. maybe does little damage i would still be swinging my arms in a bar fight in that situation :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>great game overall, congrats"},{"author_name":"nihilaleph","author_uid":"49665","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:17am","epoch":1429582320,"text":"@nightlord Thank you for the feedback!

Who knows who started it, but you gotta survive!\r\nPick any object you can find and use it to beat your opponents. And maybe you can become a true Drunken Master!\r\n\r\nHow to Play:\r\n\r\n1- To pick a Weapon, just touch it;\r\n2- You can carry only one weapon;\r\n3- Each weapon has its damage, weight (slows movement) and durability (breaks after X hits);\r\n4- Kill all enemies to get to the next night;\r\n5- Each night you get drunker and drunker, messing up your movement and your aim;\r\n\r\n6- Controls:\r\n- Move: Arrows\r\n- Stab: z\r\n- Swing: x\r\n- Throw: c\r\n- Drop: q\r\n- Retry: r\r\n- Next level (when level finished): n\r\n- Exit: Esc\r\n\r\nTools:\r\n- VisualStudio2013\r\n- Piskel\r\n- Bfxr\r\n\r\nUpdate (2015-04-20):\r\n1- Console opens with the game\r\n2- Attempt to fix shaders for OpenGL < 3.0\r\n3- Setted platform toolset: Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP\r\n\r\n=============================\r\n\r\nThis is my first entry to LD and my first game for the public. I still have a lot to learn, so I can't make a totally complete game (e.g. lack of animation and art, I didn't even finish my engine!). But still I enjoyed A LOT the experience and learned a lot too!\r\n\r\nI hope you can enjoy this game and have some fun!\r\nThank you for checking in!\r\n\r\n\r\n=============================\r\nPost-mortem:\r\nFirst of all thank you for all of you who played\/rated my game! I was really nervous since it was my first time but I got surprised by the positive feedback ^^.\r\n\r\nAgain, as my first game I had lots of limitations such as lack of skills and just inexperience. Still I'm proud of what I was able to do and happy to make people have fun with my work.\r\n\r\nWhat went well:\r\n- The concept of the game came really fast, which made possible to start programing ASAP.\r\n- Programing was smooth, specially because a lot of code (and engine) of my training to LD was useful to make this game.\r\n- Pixel art, although very simple, I developed my skills while drawing them.\r\n- I was able to make a lot of weapons and make it chaotic, which was the plan.\r\n- The time management was quite good. I was able to get decent sleep and eat well. Of course more time would be better, but I prioritized my health to make to the end of the jam. I got a bit behind the schedule but still delivered most of what I wanted.\r\n\r\nWhat went wrong:\r\n- Pixel art, still needs improvement.\r\n- UI didn't seem quite helpful.\r\n- Sound and Music, still need to learn how to make them properly.\r\n- Bad AI, need to learn more about implementing them.\r\n- Collision detector is not quite right, I assumed most objects to be circles to make implementation easier but it doesn't seem right\r\n\r\nWhat's next:\r\n- Study more!\r\n- Develop more the engine\r\n- Practice art concepts\r\n- Learn how to use a music\/sound maker","title":"Bar Fight"}
