First attempt at an FPS... "Operation SOL-3"!

It's been a while since I've made a proper 3D game for a jam or otherwise, and this time around I thought I'd give it a try again! After considering a few different ideas, I eventually landed on attempting to make an intense retro-style first person shooter.

I spent most of my time in the jam working on the gameplay mechanics, and on making the combat feel fun and responsive. Lots of trails, flashes, camera shake, and impact effects! A lot of the 3D assets come from the Unity Asset Store, though everything else is my work. I whipped up some cool synthwave music, layered sounds to create the effects I needed, etc.

It was definitely a crazy yet fun experience participating in Ludum Dare once again, and I'm pretty proud of what I was able to pull off. The connection to the theme is fairly weak, but I think the gameplay worked out as well as I could've hoped.

Let me know what you think! This was my first attempt at making an FPS game, and especially within the 3 day time-frame. I'll be starting to play & rate other entries tomorrow, so remember to leave a comment so I can check out yours! :smiley:
