Saving Greg by LJFMX

[raw]
made by LJFMX for Ludum Dare 48 (COMPO)

I wasn't gonna do another Greg game this LD but last second I changed my mind. Greg will persist! This one's a bit different and I had a lot of fun making it.

The Fourth in the Greg Series

Where is Greg?? You two were just chill-axing by this sick mountain, but you got sidetracked by the ominous hums of an acoustic guitar and lost sight of him!

Wherever could he be?

Note

This game is audio-heavy. It's not required but headphones or speakers are recommended.

Controls

  • wasd -- movement
  • left click / E -- interact
  • esc -- show pause menu

The voice acting is pretty funny.

I wish we could have saved Greg, but I get that 48 hours isn't a lot of time :sweat_smile:

I loved this game, I have no idea about this Greg series but from now on I will be a fan. The attention to detail with the elevator going down made this super good, did you do anything fancy to make the cardboard cutout not be a square but go around the picture of you?

@greg-the-egg Thanks so much Greg! @taximan981 Thank you so much! For the cutouts I just threw it in Blender and used the knife tool to cut it out so it looked more home-made :)

I love how all of the setup is a trojan horse for simon says. Also I'm a sucker for diegetic buttons, so this is a 10/10 for me. Also love the little details like the quit menu and the cardboard around your pictures. Great work!

That was strange experience) weird ground textures and amazing menu buttons only added up for overall picture. Pretty funny)

@crocodiletuesday Thank you! I'm glad I finally learned what diegetic buttons are. Definitely love using them! Adds a certain charm I enjoy!

There was something wrong with the input on linux, LMB and E didn't work always, I could not finish the game :(

I really loved the 3D art and models! The world design especially was really impressive with the style of it. Great humor to this alongside its style.

- I love personal voice acting in game jams! Delivers the best experience possible

@axeltherabbit gah I'm really sorry to hear that! Unity's new input system seems to have issues when building for linux.
@kirbloid Thank you very much! I thoroughly enjoyed making the world! (I'm not sure how to describe the style but it's definitely odd and I think it worked well).
@mikoziq I agree this is definitely a game to play at midnight LOL. Thank you very much for playing and the kind comments :)

Mouse sensitivity was way too low on Linux. Also I could not figure out any way to press the buttons on the device. I noticed they move slightly when you mouse over them when the pause menu was open, but nothing when it wasn't.
I enjoyed the humour though.

Very fun concept, the voice acting, the voice acting is on point! :smile:
The gameplay could of course be... more, but it's good to see someone prioritise actually telling a story in the game, and in a fun way. Well done!

NOOO GREEG! I really enjoyed the voice lines and humor in this game, the graphics were simple but charming and theres something really cool about the cardboard cut outs. It sort of reminded me of the feeling I got from Stanley Parable. Congrats on making such a humorous game! <3 I look forward to the next adventure with greg and the hilarious narrator.
