Passeur by khahem

[raw]
made by khahem for LD30 (COMPO)
Explore thousands of islands with your ship \o/

Watch sheep move around and eat grass, day and night \o/

Watch the amazing living grass, fighting against the sheep \o/

Controls: Arrow keys

Goal: None :(

Note: It should have been a game about building stable ecosystems but I failed at creating interesting constraints and mechanics, I really should have spent more time designing on paper before starting to code.

I'm digging the visuals of this game, I wish there was more too it though. Did you have a grand plan for the game and run out of time? It would be nice if you mentioned that in your notes.

The initial goal was roughly to move animals/humans between island to build stable ecosystems. I had enough time but didn't manage to design working game mechanics for this, with interesting goals and things to do for the player. I should have spent more time on the paper before starting to code.

It still was very fun to build the procedural islands and the weird connectivity between them.

I'm very interested in the possibilities for this game :D
The rotating cube is very cool. Loved the graphics! Congrats!

This is a very pretty concept. I could really see this going places.

As you said, there is no goal, but this is a really cool mechanic and I hope you run with it and make a full game.

Wow very cool visuals I also wish there was moer to it right now. The cube type graphics are sort of like Fez, but maybe even cooler. I'm going to have a look at your project files mwahahaha.

Nice idea, the cube turning is tuned nicely. Could turn this into a screensaver project, like the "Mountain" ;)

The visuals are great and the game is so different! It's unfortunate that you couldn't finish on time - hopefully you'll continue working on it :)

I love "cube" worlds and I had something similar in my mind for my LD entry :) Too bad you didn't have tome to finish the game.

I loved this as it is. I don't want goals, I just want the islands to change over time. Goals would ruin this!

I like the aesthetic you've got here, could even work as just an exploration game if there was a bit more variation.

That's a very nice looking cube world. I can imagine if you had the time to implement moving the sheep and some other mechanics and stuff it would be an interesting game.

controls are nice, and the blocky graphics worked really well
Good job!

This looks cool. Not matter if you didn't achieve what you wanted now, you should carry on with that idea and see where you can go. Many (including me) seem to find it promising.

I like the direction you were taking with this cube, it is a shame you didn't have enough time to complete your vision. At this stage it is not a game, as having a goal is one of the minimum requirements. Hope you put some time in it and make it a playable game.
