Also, props to whoever Mario was; that Koopa shadow puppet was excellent!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really liked the low-poly models, and the simple ambient music chords in the BG were a nice touch; it helped fill the silence when getting my shadows turned around right.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I went back and made another for fun. For a post-compo or expanded version, it might be nice to have a rating system that let people tag or score their favorites, or flag the broken or empty entries; there's a fair number of shadows that seemed to be single objects or all defaults, and it'd be nice if the community of boogyfolks had a way to curate and clean up this Shadow Art Museum we're building together!"},{"author_name":"jk5000","author_uid":"50889","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 5:21pm","epoch":1440782160,"text":"A really great idea and a great game."},{"author_name":"boardtobits","author_uid":"57679","time":"Aug 28, 2015 @ 5:49pm","epoch":1440783840,"text":"Loved the idea, I couldn't get into the dream though.

You're right, the manipulation controls while in the dream are a bit confusing. I just wish it was more of a game, like we had to figure out what the kid was afraid of and then got a rating for how scary the shadow is or something - but I digress. What you've done is awesome for two days' work (and I wish I could do this much in two days)."},{"author_name":"colinn","author_uid":"57626","time":"Aug 31, 2015 @ 11:38pm","epoch":1441063980,"text":"Gallery at the end was fun"},{"author_name":"Lukbebalduke","author_uid":"26331","time":"Sep 2, 2015 @ 1:42am","epoch":1441157820,"text":"Very cool idea!

I love how you can share your shadows, I created the Unity logo. The object requirement isn't really all that helpful, especially if you just want to design something detailed.

You will need to find a way into their dream, and then create a shadow on the wall that will frighten them into a nightmare.\r\n\r\n\r\nCONTROLS:\r\n- WASD\/Arrows: Move\r\n- Left Click: Interact\r\n\r\n\r\nHELPFUL TIPS:\r\n- After entering the dream you will have to create a shadow from the things you've collected, try to make a shadow you think looks cool. The controls to move the objects around are a bit tricky (but that is the nature of manipulating objects in 3D space). After you finish your shadow you will get a chance to name it and share it with everyone else who has beaten the game in the Hall of Shadows.\r\n\r\n\r\nCHALLENGES (if you can't think of anything else to make):\r\n- Make the scariest shadow you can think of.\r\n- Make your favorite video game character.\r\n- Make a self portrait?\r\n\r\n\r\nNOTES:\r\n- I lost an entire day of timelapse footage so I probably wont do a video :(\r\n- I built a WebGL and WebPlayer version but they crash\/reboot'd my computer, :( so there is only download links (for now)\r\n\r\n\r\nTOOLS:\r\nUnity 5 - Game Engine (C#)\r\nBlender - 3D Art\r\nInkscape\/Photoshop - 2D Art\r\nOtomat\/Audacity - Music\r\nBFXR - Pickup Sound Effect\r\n\r\n\r\nLet's see who can make the best shadows! ^_^","title":"Sweet Dreams"}
