300 Hryvni by Diadem Games

[raw]
made by Diadem Games for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

screenshot-1696305567_1806x1012.png

IMPORTANT: Currently our engine has a problem with the AMD-Vulkan driver, the game might freeze on certain cards!

Pack your very small backpack with junk and reach enough value to buy a ticket out of the warzone.

This is a very short game with a single level. The gameplay evolves around aranging objects in a very tight space and trying to get as much value as possible.

I would suggest finding a different way to upload your project, the exe file won't run on certain machines due to suspected viruses.

Don't know if you can sell a loaf of bread for $50 haha, but it was a fun little game. Great concept!

Simple, but pleasant idea, I like it. Besides that, the controls don't feel that responsive and the music ruins the mood.

@xbolinger3 Yeah, that is a limitation of our (custom) engine at the moment. We only produce those "bare" executables, which would need a Microsoft-Signing-key to prevent those super-bad virus warnings (though it looks like windows 11 will still give some kind of warning for completely unknown binaries, even when signed).

@hangovergames 36.26 Polish Zloty, according to google ;) Thought the prices are more or less random, as @anatol-dumitras mentioned

@anatol-dumitras Thanks :) The prices were just random number that we put in, before we even knew what the real objects are going to be XD

@ilunailuna Thanks for the feedback! Do you mean the controls were more clumsy, or do you mean that you had some kind of frame-drops/stuttering?
Music is a difficult decision. We were on the verge to use an "epic" background track or mix our own track. In the end we decided that we would feel better to do it ourselves and get some first practice in track-making. But will keep the note regarding mood in mind.

@stronf Thanks. Yes, we would have loved to make more levels, but we are just to slow :( In the end the decision was either some narration and the "variable" ending or one or two more levels. We decided to go with some narration to have a bit a more "rounded" game.

@diadem-games More like clumsy, specifically the rotation, other than that it feels great

@ilunailuna Okay, good to hear.
(because a) we initally had a performance problem with all the polygon-overlap tests, which we thougth we had fixed and b) we now know that the controls were not as intuitiv as we thought they are)

Can't run the game.

@depression Sorry for the bad experience. We had another case where the game froze after the first frame. Did that happen to you too? In any case, could you maybe tell me what graphics card you have?

Haha! Love the vibe and humour! Why was I wearing a flashlight!!! As a sound person I'd love to have a control for the music/sfx balance.. both sound amazing but the music is a bit loud.

Perfect game for this theme! I love the comically oversized loaf of bread worth so much and it was satisfying when I finally was able to cram everything in. Well done!

@night-on-mars @medow Thanks for you feedback!
Yes, we kind of got a good possible-but-difficult level with the default model sizes and didn't want to touch it any further :D
Yep, adding settings-dialogs is one of the next things we will add to our engine.

I would love to play html version!

There are no words to describe the satisfaction I felt when I managed to fit all items into my tiny bag, this is a very classic fit things into a small space games, and it does the job very well, awesome stuff!

@nadia-pixel So sorry! Our engine is not capable producing an HTML build!

@stmate03 Thanks so much! That experience is what we were aiming for :)

Hey you know what I hate most in video games? Inventory management. I think it's an outdated concept that all video games should do away with and just let you carry infinite stuff. So anyway I somehow loved this game, it was super fun. My only ask is that I wish you could rotate something while moving it. So if while holding down LMB you start holding RMB it temporarily switches you to rotate mode, and then when you release RMB it changes you back to move mode. Music was good except it had a bit too much dynamic range - it annoyed me when it got way loud. I got all items in on the second game. This was fun, thanks!

@ryusui Would you be willing to share your graphics card model and driver version?

@jason-shapiro Thanks, appreciate that you liked it, despite hating inventory management XD

@ryusui @rasblo @olddog Thanks for reporting and sorry for the problems. It is likely that you all have an AMD card. The engine currently has a bug where the interaction with the AMD-Vulkan driver causes a freeze. Will update the description until this is fixed.
