Sandbox 31 by mechabit

[raw]
made by mechabit for LD31 (JAM)
The universe in a cube.
Requires Leap Motion



Here's my interpretation, you are some omnipotent being who creates a universe from the big bang in our limited 3 dimensions (a cube).

Everything exists inside the cube, there is nothing beyond it.

There's no real gameplay mechanics, just poke stuff and see what happens.

Tools:
Unity3D
Leap Motion
sfxr
Audacity

Bug: Sometimes the water freaks out, it might calm down or you might need to restart, try closing any unnecessary programs to free up CPU time.

Looks like it would work well as a VR demonstration, should look at getting Oculus Rift support if you haven't already.

@Gamepopper you should check out my leap motion VR jam entry http://itch.io/jam/leapmotion3djam/rate/13511

The problem with ludum dare is fewer people have oculus rifts (and even fewer with rifts and leap motions)

I love this one - at last a real reason to dig out my leap motion device :D
I like smacking the water :3

Just put a little boat in, now you can push it around on the water and maybe pick it up and place it on a cloud.

This looks... neat, atmospheric.

Yeah, I just got a Leap Motion and I couldn't resist :)
I'm fully aware that not everyone can play this game but I tired it was mouse support and it was not very fun.

Thanks for all the comments!

Couldn't play, but watched the video and it looks really cool. Definitely worth developing, with some sort of narrative (or even without) it could be pretty compelling - though the Leap Motion requirement is a bit of a hurdle. As others have said, a VR version would certainly be interesting too.

Awesome idea! I like the water mechanics and the fact you can poke all kinds of stuff around.

Love it!

Too bad there are no fallback controls when you don't have a leap motion thingy...
