NightClub DrugLord by Kentin_BK

[raw]
made by Kentin_BK for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Enhance the party by delivering fine quality joy pills to all of your clients in the club.

The stuff is hidden in the toilets trashbin, you can take a maximum of 3 doses on yourself.

Beware of the security, as you will be slowed down when surrounded by the crowd.

Clients have a white dot over their heads, Security guard is larger than anyone and have a red hat.

Toilets are a safe zone, guards won't follow you there.

Click on the bin to retrieve, and click on the clients to deliver.

  • WASD or Arrow keys to move
  • Click to take/deliver the goods

Game executable comes in two quality levels (need a decent GPU for both).

Post-Jam update is available, no changes in gameplay, just prettier textures and FXs, with slightly better fps.

I was impressed when I walked out of the bathroom on to the dance floor.

Having to dodge through a mosh pit was surprisingly fun, although I don't see how I get busted after I've gotten rid of all my wares.

Really liked the music change when in the bathrooms. Gameplay loop was fine, nothing too crazy but it worked for this game. Definitely did a good job feeling like you're being hunted down, the guard is daunting! Good work

Graphics, audio and the whole idea are great but the gameplay lacks of features. You can't spend money so they are more like score but as the score increases the game doesn't change in any way. Upgrades or ending after like 100$ paired with increasing speed of big boi or adding another one will do the trick I believe. Despite poor gameloop the game still looks awesome and I enjoyed the music lol. Wish you a good jam

@neowhoru yes sir, all made from scratch, except the dancing people and the awesome soundtrack. Even graffitis are from some friends !

This was fantastic.

I absolutely love the way you get slightly stuck when you're trying to shove your way through a more crowded part of the dance floor (as compared to the more spacious areas) because it perfectly replicates that awkward feeling of "Excuse me! Pardon me! Coming through!" that we've all felt when we visit a nightclub and are trying to get back to our friend group in the middle of the club. It was also a great touch to filter the music when you're in the bathroom and unfilter as you leave (that kind of audio attention to detail makes me happy!).

The art style and theming is fun and fits the game perfectly, the moving dancers are both hilarious and well-made, and it really feels like a club. Like other folks, I'd love to see it get harder after some amount of time (maybe there are more security guards or each delivery grants you bonus time somehow)?

Also, in an ironic way, once you notice the security guard, it even almost feels like a horror game in some ways as you frantically make your way through the crowd to avoid the guard as he trails behind you. (That's a good thing - it got me motivated to get out of the way and evade him - and added to the pace of the game!)

Anyhow, great job. I love it!

Amazing entry!! The setting was on another level, the disco design and npcs looked very good.
The whole artstyle was very pleasing, the gameloop was simple enough to understand quickly. Music was awesome!

- The miror at the start and the general reflections
- that there are normal maps
- the music change from toilett to dace floor
- the volumentric light effect

This was cool, the production values were great and it was a very interesting concept! Haven't been on a rave in a long while so this brought some nice memories. Nicely done!

Great game! Was fun to play and got very tense moving through the crowds when the bouncer guy got close, the only thing I think was missing was maybe some progression with the difficulty and some thing to use the money on,
still a very impressive entry, looks amazing and the music is fantastic.

Thanks you all !! We're very glad you liked it !

We made it past the 20 ratings yeeeeaa !

@thorpalsson It lacks a lot of stuff we initially wanted, our dev didn't knew much about Unity, but he did a great work managing to have something playable at all hahaha !

That was really cool! It's very unique and stylish. I really like that the music is muffled when you enter the bathroom and becomes clear on the dance floor. Awesome job!

Very cool visuals. Gameplay is a bit repetitive but it's a good idea. A nice take on the theme "Delivery" ^^

This game put a high strain on my low-tier gpu :D. The graphics were cool. The environment was very immersive and atmospheric with well designed lights and sound. Great entry!
