Crystal Quest by Belug

[raw]
made by Belug for LD34 (JAM)
*** This is an unfinished product, as my first game, first time working with unreal and first time drawing with a computer, this took me Way more time that it was supposed to. Still I publish it to get some feedback Thanks for playing!

You are the guardian of a Crystal tribe. One day your joyfull eternal life was disturbed by Mining dwarfs. You and your tribe ran away, but they took all of the crystal except one small piece that they droped. There's not enough energy in the piece alone for the tribe to survive so they fall to sleep.

You must brave the tunnels and enter the Dwarven forteress to get back the crystal parts, grind them and grow back the Crystal heart to revive your tribe.

Jumped all the way to the top but couldn't go further. Would be nice if the sprites were animated or the little guys you come across dis something or were killable?

153 Megabyte download, expanding into a 610 Megabyte folder. Bit excessive, isn't it?

Sorry for the Size, as I said, it's the first time I used Unreal Engine that is the default packaging... I'll try to make it smaller today.

Congratulations on your first LD!
First, you should release at least a windows or web build if you want people to play your game.
Second, the file has more than 600MB?! WOW XD
Third, I couldn't run the linux binary, it returns the following:
"Using binned.
4.10.0-0+++depot+UE4-Releases+4.10 7038 3077 482 0
LowLevelFatalError [File:/home/belug/dev/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Runtime/OpenGLDrv/Private/Linux/OpenGLLinux.cpp] [Line: 183]
_PlatformCreateOpenGLContextCore - Could not create OpenGL 3.2 context, SDL error: 'Could not create GL context: GLXBadFBConfig'
Signal 11 caught.
EngineCrashHandler: Signal=11
Starting ../../../engine/binaries/linux/crashreportclient
Aborted"
By reading the crash dump, I can tell that I need some sort of previous configuration to install the required files used by the Unreal Engine.
You should describe the configuration details, requirements and compatibility in order to make the player's life a lot easier.

@pjimmy, I'm installing Unreal on a windows box so I could release it for it, it's soon long. 600mb, it's not my choise, I've tryed to tweaks the packaging option this morning an I was able to shave 30mb.

And for your crash it looks like a video driver bug, on ubuntu you should install Nvidia or Radeon drivers since the default drivers don't have a good openGL version or something like that.

Thanks!

It's good for the first time. We need practice to learn, experience! I liked the idea and the art "concept", it would be nice if you continue.

Well... it's a start. No sound, no animation, no menu, no explanation how to play... I enjoyed the drawings, though. I hope you can finish it. Good luck!
