It was quite hard to see what was going on - but quite hypnotic overall. Music is great.\r<br\/>I'm finding it hard to figure out what to do actually. I can cycle through the characters, and one can get in (who has the ticket), but the other two get caught. I'm feeling a bit stupid.  :)  Hint?"},{"author_name":"atombrot","author_uid":"7738","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 6:50am","epoch":1387349100,"text":"Thanks for playing. We planned ways of creating distractions from the guards, but there was no time left ;) currently you have to watch the move patterns of the guards (the guys with the red particles) and find try to net be seen. The guards see you up to a distance of 20 pixels, but only if they look in your direction."},{"author_name":"daredevildave","author_uid":"5182","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 6:25pm","epoch":1387390800,"text":"I tried to play the web version.

You are standing in line for tickets. Finally it's your turn and you can buy a ticket. But you only get one ;) What about your friends?\r\n\r\nThis was more or less our idea behind the game. \r\nSadly we could not put in all the ideas we have planned for.\r\n\r\nUse the left and right keys to walk around. Switch your player with N (web) or TAB (windows). Interact by using the SPACE key.\r\n\r\nThe background music is made by my friend mentex.\r\n\r\nThe game itself is made with java and libgdx. You need to have java installed for it to run. \r\n\r\nUpdate: \r\nbrookman helped us with the webgl\/gwt problems. Seems that gwt doesn't like zip compressed tmx files. Thanks very much for the help !  :D\r\n\r\nUpdate2: \r\nI updated the webgl version. The TAB key wouldn't work correctly. I also changed the resolution so it is a bit bigger, but otherwise it's the same codebase.\r\n\r\nUpdate 3:\r\nWe have identified following major issues, that we'd like to address for a post compo version (we will be working on that for some months):\r\n- Distractions need to be implemented, so the ticket player has something to do besides scouting the area.\r\n- Add a main menu\r\n- Add a winning screen ;)\r\n- Add intro\/tutorial levels that explain the game mechanics step by step.\r\n- Make the players and guards better distinguishable from the rest (we tried to do this with the particles, but in case of a very clear background you nearly can't see the particles).\r\n- Fix controls in web version ;)\r\n- Add lighting\r\n- Add dance animation (at last, you want to go to the dancefloor)\r\n- More themes (we already had planned some other themes, but didn't have the time to make the backgrounds and props for it)\r\n- add soundfx\r\n- 2d Lighting to give it a bit more atmosphere ;)","title":"Concert Crashers"}
