CrossbowThing by Nnnnneeeedddd

[raw]
made by Nnnnneeeedddd for Ludum Dare 60 (COMPO)

Controls:

  • WASD - Move
  • mouse - look (no sensitivity setting, sorry)
  • Space - Jump
  • Hold Left click - pull back crossbow
  • Release Left click - fire (holding until fully back is more powerful).
  • Right click - cancel shot if you're currently holding back

The strat seems to be to hide in a few trees. Kind of fun, got actually jump scared one time.

Wanted to do something completely different, but ran out of time, and was determined to submit something.

Was more prepared than usual (which isn't saying much :sweat_smile: ), but was using Box3D, and there was a lot of fighting with it... (not necessarily it's fault, I'm also on an old version I think).

Game is made using 'C' and Vulkan. I've never made a game with pure C before, it was weird, but kind of refreshing.

Source:

  • Only the VS2026 project in projects is up to date.

  • You need VulkanSDK to compile shaders. Vulkan.h is included, so if you exclude the shaders from the build it should run out of the box.

  • Linux Users - Based on previous games, shoouuuld run on just Wine, since it's Vulkan, I dont think it needs proton.
