Le Chasseur by Quarry

[raw]
made by Quarry for LD25 (COMPO)
You are the Hunter, you crave for blood and hunt the people of the city to feed your hunger.

The instructions are handed to you at the beginning of the game, that's all you need to play. The game is highly skill based and takes some time to get used to, you also have to manage your money carefull in order not to die due to lack of a vest or spare ammo.

MAKE SURE YOU PUT BOTH THE JAR AND THE NATIVES FOLDER IN THE SAME DIRECTORY WITHOUT RENAMING EITHER. POST CONSOLE OUTPUT IF IT DOESN'T OPEN AT ALL.

That was hard as all hell, if I played it right.

I like the looks of your entry! I have a lot of trouble playing it though - I'm not used to WASD directional to the mouse pointer. I'd really prefer W always moving upwards on the screen...

I know the control scheme might be hard to use for some people but the normal N/W/S/E for WASD didn't feel right for the game

I am not able to download the fire with the provided mediafire link. Windows informs me that the archive is corrupt.

I can't download the file. Mediafire gave me the following message:

I hoped that the description clarified that lol, a quick tip would be to try to predict the moves of citizens and them from a distance. You can also grab hold of briefcases, run and get some gear to make killings easier

Liked the graphics, but the game was extremely hard (or I missed something completely).

The game crashed once on me after I died and tried to shut down the game.

Dump here if you want to check it: http://146.255.37.150/puffi/random/hs_err_pid2832.log couldn't reproduce the crash.

Took a while to get used to the control scheme and weapon being unequipped every time it was reloaded.

Nice work none the less!

I'd related that to your JVM installation

Its hard to control the player.

I thought that this scheme was the best for a game that requires you to quickly dodge bullets, the classic udlr wasn't good enough

The controls are a bit confusing, with W going towards the mouse - and the keys are tricky when using a mouse left-handed (as I do). Looks like some interesting ideas, though; the shops give it a bit of variety.

Pretty hard game. Liked the visuals, the accuracy penalty when moving was pretty nice too.

@schnerble I never thought of lefties, very sorry :d

@DBS I think that when you run and shoot, that's the realistic way to go

Nice minimalistic game. Love the graphics. A bit too hard for me, couldn't kill anybody! Ah and no restart key? Or dis I miss it?

Also next time if you use French for your title, try to also support AZERTY keyboards. It's just a matter of mapping Z to W and Q to A ;)

I'm not even French, the guy you are playing is French. Everything criminal sounds better in French

What was the problem? Did you extract both the jar and the natives?

On my computer, the window opened and closed instantly when I double clicked on the .jar :/

@Quarry if you say so! "Bien jou茅". Also: Solaris? Whoaah, this is some nice exotic OS support :P

Well LWJGL natively supports it so it just "automagically" supports solaris

I liked the Display size it was different from most other games which gave it an orignal look. The graphics were good although there was not much sound which could have improved it further. It was also really hard and it didnt look like there was much way to improve.

Memories of Mission: Impossible for the NES! The controls, like in the NES game are hard to get used to and it's very hard. This perspective + control system isn't used very often, kudos for trying.

Unfortunately I the game won't run if I double click on it. I've tried to run it from command line and I get an error:

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

I'll try it again later on a different computer

That error is caused by your PS version not being high enough, afaik

The control scheme is difficult to master, but after a lot of tries :P I managed to get a little bit used to it and started what I would call, a bullet dance :D. It was my game that got nuts or every time you finish a bullet clip you have to click again E? Given the pace of game and that one may be already pressing S+A and Shift, it was difficult to change clips. Despite of that, I liked the game, it is really difficult! :)

by the way, is there sound? On my laptopt (windows 7) did not play :(

I had some issues with OpenAL, otherwise there was music AND sound...

Also you have to press E again, I made it so that you actually couldn't just spam click to win

There seems to be a graphical bug that prevents me from playing properly: http://i.imgur.com/pyKCy.png

If you have a solution, let me know, I'll check back because it looks like worth playing.
