Saving the SS Titan by AlexHicks

[raw]
made by AlexHicks for LD 42 (JAM)

*Keep in mind this is a very unpolished entry with little to no gameplay. I hope to continue to work and flesh out the idea this coming week for a better playing experience.

Roles AlexHicks: Programming, Design, and some art VaBlackbelt2005: art/textures

You are the newly appointed commander on the SS Titan. You have just been told the space station has roughly 3 months of oxygen left. Your task is to get the station enough time in order to fix up a drop pod for safe evacuation. You are faced with two issues; Getting enough time and resources for the drop pod and is the ground below even safe?

Currently below is an HTML 5 WebGL build, if the build is giving you issues please download an exe build to fix the issue.

The current iteration sadly does not have any "fun" gameplay but feel free to check out the art and watch the effects as your oxygen levels get lowered.

Pretty graphics. I love the pixelart 2d and 3d combination. It feels like some old Ps2 game for some reason :D

thank you @dizzy and @adam-pandos we hope to get it more functional this week to where you can do something other than rotate the screen and watch the oxygen deplete LUL

Like the introduction dialog with the characters and their status/ achievement badges. The gameplay, like you already said, needs some work.
Nonetheless, I really liked the camera rotation animation and the art. Seems like a strong base of the game is set! Great work guys!

A promising start! I really like the idea of choosing between which crew members to sacrifice - but maybe still considering what skill sets they have - so having to gamble on which skills you're willing to lack on board the ship for the sake of oxygen!!

Cute graphics you've got there. I hope you'll finish the gameplay part of the game because resource management games can be a lot of fun. A little suggestion: add some keyboard controls for the camera. At first, I was aimlessly mashing keyboard arrows to rotate the view, before I realized that you should actually press the UI buttons to do so. And what SS stands for? Am I missing some references?

A good start to the game. Would be good to have another play when you get more functionality in the game. :smile:
