I unfortunately I didn't have time to make it work so I just stuck with a quicker solution. I'd definitely avoid the RMB holding if I had more time :)"},{"author_name":"chriskdev","author_uid":"40550","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 12:14pm","epoch":1408968540,"text":"Really loved the intro and the overall atmosphere, voice acting and sounds!

Art looks great, the little introduction at the beginning is very well done and the sound is also top notch.

I would personally ditch the 'RMB to look around' thing in favour of mouselook being on by default, which is more common.  You could still interact with objects by looking directly at them.  Also, some mechanical hum or rumble in the background would have added a lot to the already impressive mood. Really great work for the 48 hours!

As expected I didn't make a full game but rather more like an intro to a longer game. The gameplay is quite limited, but I thought the idea of collecting memories was one that complemented the general storyline nicely whilst still providing a simple gameplay mechanic.\r\n\r\nMy goals were to achieve good mood, visuals and immersion, and I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I would definitely be keen on continuing the game.\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\n\r\n- WASD\/arrow keys to move\r\n\r\n- Hold right mouse button to look around\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nHINTS:\r\n\r\n- In hindsight one of the bits of audio is a little hard to understand, I went overboard distorting it... if you get stuck it says your stuff is in Locker 3 lol :P\r\n\r\n- The last memory is not in the first room\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nTHANKS TO:\r\n\r\n- My amazing fianc\u00c3\u00a9 Daniel for providing voice acting (the [real] coughing and breathing, the message voice)\r\n\r\n- My boss Doug for letting me bring my work computer home which was a lot more convenient than using my laptop\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nTOOLS USED:\r\n\r\n- Engine: Unity\r\n\r\n- 3D: 3ds Max\r\n\r\n- Graphics: Photoshop\r\n\r\n- Audio editing: Audacity\r\n\r\n- Audio sources: voice acting, text-to-speech, and recording various noises around my house (very funny!! - the noise of the cryo pod is mostly my kettle starting up, and the cryo pod opening is my mum's car boot opening)\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nTHINGS REMOVED FROM SOURCE:\r\n\r\n- The main font used (it's a commercial one I purchased)\r\n\r\n- All the old versioned 3D\/audio files\/etc.\r\n\r\n- Anything not used in the final build\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nTIME SPENT (ROUGHLY):\r\n\r\n- 3D modelling: 4 hours\r\n\r\n- Unity (lighting, particles, materials, putting scripts\/models in), QA: 5 hours\r\n\r\n- Animations: 1 hour\r\n\r\n- Programming & QA: 2 hours\r\n\r\n- Graphics: 1.5 hours\r\n\r\n- Audio recording and editing: 3.5 hours\r\n\r\nTOTAL: 17 hours\r\n\r\n-----\r\n\r\nI'll try to put up a postmortem in the next few days.\r\n\r\nTIMELAPSE: http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2014\/08\/25\/timelapse-the-ghosts-you-left-me\/\r\n\r\nHope you enjoy the experience :)\r\n\r\n- Camille\r\n\r\n-----","title":"The Ghosts You Left Me"}
