GTApp - Great Tube App by Gaming Night

made by Gaming Night for LD 44 (JAM)

Today, thanks to the internet and smartphones, it has become very simple to share one's daily life with friends, even those on the other side of the planet. But have you ever dreamed of sharing it with the world? and get paid for it?

That's what GTApp offers, the first rewarding Live-sharing application.

How it works ? Just start stream and share live funny moments with your audience! The more thrilling actions you share, the more your audience will enjoy, grow and tip!

How much money can you make with 1 second of your life?

* This is our approach of the 44th ludum dare theme: "your life is currency". *

In this game you are in the shoes of a Streamer driving his pure-bred sports car. Enjoy the heady feeling of driving down the steets at high speed, drift, graze pedastrians or smash boxes!

++ TIP: find our home made Rocket League arena and try to score!

Controls: Press arrows or WASD to move the car. Press escape to take a look at your phone.

The game has such a great idea. And it really pulled that GTA 1-2 feeling with the graphics and camera movement. Great job.

I also had an idea about making a game about streaming but I think you made it better than I probably would have if I did it. Pretty fun and gets tricky keeping all your viewers though I was able to get $6.593. Though you get a bit too stuck when touching a wall, would have liked if you could slide a bit to more easily get out. But you really nailed the driving feel otherwise! Good job!

I genuinely liked it.

- The camera work/level design is impressive, good mastering of the perspective.
- There is a game feel

Ah, by the way, I am that kind of player:

Very interesting implementation of the theme, somehow original and fun.

Thank you all for your encouraging comments!
@xahell The trafic is here to prevent you to reach the map limit, did you passed it finally?
@svdvorak $6.593 is a quite nice score actually! Sorry for these walls, we might make it more bouncy...

@gaming-night Yeah I passed it, the screenshot was my attempt to come back into the game, as you can see with the car direction ^_^

Great game with great polish. I do however feel that it didnt follow the theme to the fullest, but other than that, it is a great game and have no complaints really.

@codingninjajoas Thanks !

@olavdeng2 Yeah, undoubtedly we should have make this clearer, but we ran out of time. For our defense, here is our initial thoughts regarding the theme: as a live streamer, you literally share your life to earn money (that is to say, your life is currency). But as viewers get more and more accustomed to and bored by your 'driving routine' videos, you have to build up more thrilling and crazy moments, which leads you to illegal actions, like destroying urban stuff and killing pedestrians. This is the infernal circle of the streamer.

Very interesting idea overall! Liked it.

@gaming-night Ah, that makes things a lot clearer. Ok, then it is an excellent idea with the theme now that it is explained to me :P good work!

Excellent entry ! The twist on the theme is one of the best I've seen so far. The music switching is really great (and it's cool you had the time to fit it in). The mechanics are smooth and the game is pretty fun.

Great job !

That was pretty fun! You definitely nailed part of the old school GTA feel. The way the npc look and squashing them really brought me back. Some traffic and a bit more things to do would've been nice. Driving felt nice too although I wish backing up would be a bit faster. Music was great as well!

I really like this approach to the theme. It feels unique (and a little too real) and gives an interesting spin on games like GTA. I think the music and the colour scheme all added to the execution of the theme in a fun and unsettling way.

@ashtrail @silkworm-sweatshop @mooseandloon Many thanks of your warm comments, we are very happy to see that we worked in the right direction: hours spent on car driving balance to have a feeling we like and also many working time on the question of the theme and how to adapt it in a game.

But it was when I drover over somebody and the dubstep started that I knew I wanna rate this game high. :smile:

In all aspects, extremely polished.

Very well done.

Very well polished game for a jam. The controls were mostly good, but backing up was a bit cumbersome. Nice clean graphics, and good use of audio.

This game is really great! I love the camera, the music, and the drifting feels really satisfying. Making the menus part of the phone app was a nice touch, I'm impressed you had time for it. I wouldnv'e liked to see the theme explored a little more fully, here the viewers basically acted as life, but you couldn't really spend them on things, so the currency element more just acted as a score as opposed to being currency. Overall, really great game!

there was some times where the car made one with some building while breaking the speed limit and made me restart but it was a cool game nonetheless. The concept is really cool !

04. May 2019 · 21:33 UTC

I did enjoy this game. Did find a game breaking bug though. Car got stuck on another car and the controls stopped responding until I closed and re-opened the game. Fun concept mind.

Very interesting implementation of the theme. Nice physics for a little cool game. The main gameplay is really fun with good vibes. However I would say that the music which you use doesn't fit the game - too quiet (it could be fine for a match3 maybe). Now problem for me - you did a great entry ++

Those little people keep getting too close when I'm skidding past them... great entry

The most fun I had in this LD. Graphics are amazing as well as the camera movement. Only problem I had is that when going at high speed, car would be stuck in the building so i had to restart the game few times. Other than that, great entry.

Driving controls felt really good, I like the music transition when you did something exciting. Made me miss the old top down GTA titles from my youth.

LuckyFeathers

04. May 2019 · 22:05 UTC

Awesome! Really fun to play, art and music work great, and the game just feels really good. One complaint I have is that there's not really any negative effect of hitting people? Sure, you lose 100, but you also get 200 plus whatever drifting points you get. The whole point should be to try to drift close to people but not hit them. Aside from that, though, I can't really think of any negatives of the game. Well done!

Fun game. I like the way the music changes when you hit somebody. It was telling me that I was losing points for doing that, but it didn't actually seem to be the case. I didn't mind anyway, it was a good strategy for me because I suck :smile: Great game anyway, and kinda topical.

fun game! I literally feel like my life is on the line lol. fast and furious baby

OwlyCode

04. May 2019 · 23:16 UTC

I liked the approach and the criticism of our society. The music that changes based on the action is great and the arts look nice. I'm not sure about the theme though. Also, I had hard time controlling the car at higher speeds. Maybe the camera should zoom out a little bit when going fast. Otherwise this is a great entry!

Well, totally got stuck in the first few seconds, audience didn't like that haha. This was pretty good. Controls and the car felt great to drive and the camera was perfect. If you hit something it was a little tough to get off it, like the side of a building. I was waiting for the police to show up :P That would of been a good show for my viewers. I could see this being a game people would pick up if it was fleshed out. Keep up the awesome work.

Thank you all for your warm feedback. We are very happy to see you having fun with GTApp!
As noticed by some of you, there are a few collision bugs we did not managed to fix in time. Nice to hear that they are not big issues.

OMG this one is so fun!
Good controls, music, and gameplay!
Driving the car feels great, and the interactive music really adds to the mix!!

I'm removing one star because I got stuck (twice!) in a building, and there was no way to restart (even after my life went to zero, the game restarted at the exact same stuck-in-building position! I had to reload the webpage) :-/

05. May 2019 · 22:10 UTC

Fun game. I love the GTAII feel of it. The controls feel smooth and add a lot to the feel of the game. I Really like the Tutorial at the beginning! You can read it and get used to the gameplay, or you can just drive past it.
Projecting the theme onto influencer culture was a pretty smart idea. Great work!

I love the idea of currency understood as sharing your life, I had a similar concept at the beggining but couldn't come up with a good game orround it. I also like the clean look, of the city, it's a really good entry
