I like that the guard's FOV is clearly marked. One thing I would change is to make the camera entirely free look, or more top down. As it is right now, it's kind of difficult to see where you're going, and there is a constant struggle between the free look and guided camera. Overall, good job, and congrats on completing your first Ludem Dare!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":946802,"author_name":"LDJam user 282870","author_uid":"282870","epoch":1683037590,"text":"The game was not bad at all.

When I played it there was no audio. Also I only get caught when I hit a guard, not when I enter the yellow erea, this made the game super easy.

They are also capable of \"hearing\", if you jump behind them, they will turn around and investigate the position or chase you if the see you. The level right now definitely is too easy, so I will keep your suggestion in mind for the future :)\nThank you for taking the time to play the game!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":949972,"author_name":"Wompus","author_uid":"wompus","epoch":1683053039,"text":"Yeah just saying what is already said: the camera controls are a bit wonky.

My sprint and crouch controls weren't working for me, but I was able to finish the level with opportune walking. I also didn't hear audio when I played, but it didn't take away from the experience since it's a stealth game anyways. Thanks for the entry!

Would've preferred if the mouse was locked onto my screen, might've just been my download. If the line \"Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;\" had been somewhere in the camera movement script that would've solved the issue. The gameplay was pretty fun, It felt pretty intuitive to use the extra paths and the objective was pretty clear. More levels as well would be very cool, and some sort of art for the level, although I understand that level art had to be cut for time (game jam things).","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":978121,"author_name":"GordienkoGames","author_uid":"gordienkogames","epoch":1683880617,"text":"i need everytime talk to mob - so sad","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld53\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/gitlab.com\/ppeess\/deliverygame","text":"Source Code"},{"url":"https:\/\/ppeess.itch.io\/mercurys-menace","text":"Windows Version"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"66789","g_author":"1356534","g_event":"LD53","g_eventkey":"118","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"285759","g_title":"Mercury's Menace","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"22","g_site2_node_id":"356535","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"356535","n_urlkey":"285759","n_parent":"332127","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/53\/mercurys-menace","n_slug":"mercurys-menace","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"356534","n_created":"0","n_modified":"0","n_version":"1130821","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"id":356535,"parent":332127,"_superparent":9,"author":356534,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2023-05-02T01:25:22Z","created":"2023-04-28T18:07:11Z","modified":"2023-05-08T15:57:23Z","_trust":1,"version":1130821,"slug":"mercurys-menace","name":"Mercury's Menace","body":"![Mercury's Menace.png](\/\/\/raw\/6b0\/75\/z\/59ebd.png)\n\nCarius is a professional thief, who unfortunately got caught during his last heist.\nAwaiting his fate in a well-guarded prison cell, Carius is suddenly approached by Mercury, who offers him freedom in exchange for his services when \"delivering\" goods to the gods.\nBut to earn this freedom, Carius must first escape the prison.\n\n## Controls\n\n### Movement\nWASD - Directional controls\n\nShift - Sprint\n\nControl - Crouch\n\nSpace - Jump (and double jump)\n\n### Interaction\nE - Interact with an object or entity\n\nEscape - Pause the game\n\n\n\n\n### Thank you for taking the time to visit this page! \nThis is my first time participating in Ludum Dare, the idea was massively overscoped and the AI took up so much time that the levels containing the theme were never finished.
