Boblar's Ascension by AzureAspect

[raw]
made by AzureAspect for LD33 (JAM)
Most helpful tip: PRESS SPACE TO CONTINUE DIALOG

My first Ludum Dare and first "finished" game I've ever made. Let's just hope that it works on other computers (didn't have much time to test if it does).
The game is basically very simplified sim city style game where you need to connect houses to factories to generate income. I also wished to make annoying fat rich guy as your partner in crime. So Boblar will be "assisting" you in the game.

Thanks to Olive-Elmo and Panda for art work on the game. I had more time to focus on the programming and gameplay with their help!

Minium requirements: (at least some of them)

screen size: 1024 x 768
opengl 3.3 (core functions only used, many laptops will probably have problems with this requirement)

Added some DLLs to the rar file (have to do proper testing next time, thankfully we are allowed to upload bug fixes!)
Thanks for the comments, I'll try to fix the problems as they arise if I can!

Not much of a challenge, but a more unique concept than most of the games.

I can't run it :/ it says "The program can't start because OpenAL32.dll is missing from your computer."

Sorry bro, OpenAL32.dll missing. I've developed with SFML two years ago, iirc it's quite easy to include stuff like this .dll into the project folder. I recommend you test it on some PC with no special software for game development installed to see most of the .dlls you should include, then you can update your submission with those (the rules allow it anyways).

This one sucked me in a little more than I thought it would, I think because of the time limit of "how long will the planet last."

Game fails to start on my computer (with no useful diagnostics). Does it rely on anything like .NET? (I am running Open GL 4.4)

Hmm...I also had problem on one of the computers were the game would not give any error but nothing would happen either (task manager shows it is running but...)

Here's list of libraries I used in the game in case someone knows better what could be wrong:

SFML-2.3; glew-1.12; glfw-3.1.1-WIN32;
I used visual studio 2013 community edition to compile the build

I think the problem might have something do with 32 and 64 bit OS running it in wrong manner. Probably have to make different versions for x86 and x64
