Hostage Savers by ZER0-GAMES

[raw]
made by ZER0-GAMES for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

this is my first entry to a game jam for LD46. When I was finishing up a level and refining the game.The code just stopped working. I reloaded unity and tried everything for like 2 hours to save the game but I could't so this is it for now.

This is supposed to be a prototype of a portal style game where you solve puzzles to try to save the hostage before she is killed.

Update: The Link Now Should Work. I have fixed most of the broken code and I am finishing up.

Controls: Move: WASD. Jump: SpaceBar. Sprint: LeftShift. Crouch: LeftCtrl. Portal1: LeftClick. Portal2: RightClick.

Credits: affax, portal, kenny and sebastian lague.

Ouch sorry to hear that! Must be frustrating after working all weekend. The screen shot looks nice, though. If you get it fixed post in here and I'm sure you'll still get a few post-compo plays and comments. Good luck!

Link indicate invalid game, so i can't play to your FPS, maybe you can reupload later on itchio to give a second chance to your work. I have seen your screenshoot i think you're on the good way to make a good prototype !

I am sorry, but there was an error downloading the game so I didn't give you any rating. Next time check that it works a few times before publishing.

This is very unfortunate... it happened to me too, after getting a lot of the sprites done at once, aseprite crashed and i had to do loads of stuff again..Try to look on the bright side: i bet it was fun

Get the game working and Id love to play it! Technically, fixing game-breaking bugs post-event is within the rules 👀

Apparently the game is really slow for me, I move really slow which makes it impossible to play. But congrats on finishing a game

@patrickrmc is it like laggy or just movment because if it is movement you can hold Shift to walk faster but if it is lag then tell me so I can try to fix it tho it runs fine for me

@zer0-games It's not lag its just the movement speed is very low for me, even while running.

I was able to finish the game. Good entry for a first one. If I can help you with some feedback :
- A menu always helps setting the player in the game, and could help you give some informations about the game, without asking too much dev time.
- You may need to change some parameters on your player controller to enhance the jumps (the player doesn't jump high enough) and enhance the sprint (move speed difference between sprint and no-sprint isn't visible enough).
- Add a simple quit button at the end of the game, to avoid forcing the player to press ALT+F4 :)
- Maybe try to add a few other levels ? You could use some cool mechanics!
- You could make the intro a little bit longer, we don't have enough time to see the hostage ! You seem to have made a 3D model for it, don't be shy, show your cool work :D

And that's it ! Congrats on your first ludum dare entry. It's not easy making a game, and it's even harder doing it in the short timelapse of a weekend. So yeah, CONGRATS, that's actually something really cool you did there !
I'm sure you learnt a lot during this gamejam, and that's super cool !

@raivk thanks for the feedback,
ya I had to finish it in one day because I spent the first 2 days working on it and then my pc crashed and my code and unity stuff got screwed up so I had to start over. So I had like less than 1 day to finish thanks a lot tho!

Damn. One hour before the rating ends and I find this. As a portal fan, and as a general non-euclidian physics fan, I salute your effort. I spent a long time on this game, despite the recurring crashes, it was great fun, and I truly encourage you to keep experimenting in this field. It's awesome that you even attempted this mechanic, and awesome that you continued to work on the game after such a serious set-back.

Great work and hope to see your game again next time!

This is ambitious for game jam! Well done getting this much accomplished.

It worked wonkyly for me and hanged often. That made it sadly a bit hard to play. It consistently hanged if I made one portal under another and something was going through it (a cube or me).

It is a very ambitious idea for a short jam time co congratulations on finishing!
