Signal from the Center

Just finished my very first game ever ... and my first submission to Ludum Dare.

It’s a very short experience, but I learned a lot along the way, especially about 3D and ECS. I’m usually a developer, but when it comes to Unity and ECS, I’m still very much a beginner ... so this was a big step for me.

I almost had to quit along the way due to some home emergencies, but I still managed to pull together some time to build something ... and I’m really glad I did.

There’s actually something playable here, even if it’s rough. The idea behind the game is much bigger ... what you see now is probably just 1% of what it could become.

The goal is simple: reach the center. Something is stuck there… but can you get to it? And if you can ... how long would it take?

Something is signaling from the depths.

The theme was “Signal”, and this is my take on it.

Hope this is just the beginning.
