Potato Lotion Dilemma! by shotiris

made by shotiris for LD26 (COMPO)

Potato!

Hi all! Thanks for having a look. I couldn't quite get it to where I wanted inside the 48h as I thought "oh i'll have a little nap!" and then woke up at deadline 7h later :D

Also, source is a Shiva archive. It should import into any version of Shiva editor, even the free one.

Web link goes straight to the game now.

Modelling: 7h
Textures/Graphics: 1h
Animation: 4h
Shiva/Code: 18h
Audio/SFX/Music: 6h

Thanks for looking everyone!

I now have a very greasy potato deep under water, feel like i've participated in something dirty and don't know what to do. All in all, just what i love in a game :D

Am I doing it wrong?

Thank you! @semi there is a major bug. I passed out drunk before I could rectify and add the remaining audio :)

Hey, here another Shiva user!
Why so sad?

Interesting, nice idea and the art style reminded me of psychonauts but it took a very long time to load.

@mythalore sorry, my web server is slow apparently! Game is only about 17mb. Thanks for looking!

I managed to keep him alive when the water was way high, by rubbing him when he was supposed to drown.

Cool graphics and love the audio. Very very eerie and creepy. I just don't know how to save the poor little fellow! I feel i've failed him... but my guess is that's the point :) Nice work.

This 3d player thing is crap. I installed the add on and it still does not work :(

29. Apr 2013 · 12:12 UTC

@yezu sorry it isn't working for you. Try the windows exe perhaps?

@tiffi thanks!

Shit i thought the WTF award was for me. I rubbed the potato a lot, water went crazy when 2 third of the screen was full. Then potato guy reappeared. Then i stop cause i was thinking about suicide.

Hi @juaxix, thanks! I checked out your game, pretty cool. No I haven't started a thread about it.

Oh god, what have I done?

I really wanted to see what the monster was!

But yeah, hilarious stuff, definitely a 5* for humour, and the potato looks amazing. Great modelling and animation.

you have to be kidding me!!!-pregame

postgame- wow, I died and came back to life and the water just kept filling up, Odd clicking website.

Freaky and hilarious game! Is it possible to win without death? can we see the Wild Bill?

Elemnir

02. May 2013 · 00:18 UTC

I biffed it. If you keep the butter and click the potato after he drowns, he springs magically back to life.

I.. I don't really .. I mean I made the potato cry until it flooded the place but like nothing happened and so I just ... I just I don't know man. I don't know man. I don't like, I don't know man.
