First of all, sorry in advance for my text. English is not my fist language, so…

I never finished a game before. I’ve made some prototypes in the past, but never got back to them. So to finish this game in 48h for LD makes me very happy! \o/

And it makes obvious, but I think a need to say that this is my fist time on LD.

Techy talk:

I knew I was going to take forever if I started coding my own engine. So I decide to use Construct 2. I never ever used one of this game makers, but I always thought about them while wondering why I never finished any project.

I can’t draw and I used the internal editor from Constructor, except for the logo (because I wanted some fancy unnoticeable gradient and I used Photoshop). Programmer art FTW!

I have no talent for music either, and I went with sfxr and Circuli (from the same guy who made Otomata).

The Game:

The game is named Oxy and is about two coworkers who work in a underwater lab. Then an accident happens and they must leave right away. The problem is you two only have one oxygen tank. Ah! Also, your coworker Dave is unconscious. So you have to drag him around to help him breathe. He is useful to open doors too.

My entry is here. Give it a try!

Here is some screenshots:

Final Thoughts:

Using Construct 2 was interesting. Sometimes I wished for making my own engine and sometimes was pretty easy to do stuff. I didn’t know the best practices to use Construct 2 so the project is a real mess. Sometimes it doesn’t event open the level layout without crashing the software. For my next time, I will try to code everything.

I hope you guys enjoy this little idea.

Thanks!

Hey people,

Since we're jamming together, let's music jam too.

The title is exaggeration, but we sure tried to make it.

The main point of Communitas is to build a "healthful" city. But you have to deal with tile placing timeouts and other people messing with your city. Organizing in groups is the key to success, although, for now, people are being very polite e collaborating with everyone.

We never tried to do a online game before, so we kinda knew it was going to be difficult. It's a simple game and the server itself was not a problem to code. The same cannot be said about the server host. Damn, we needed to replace the server right after the deadline because it was too slow (Azure to Google).

But where we really did get a beatdown was in trying to make the client in HTML5. None of us had experience with it and we couldn't make a performatic client in HTML5. We even tried some engines like Phaser and PixiJS, but no dice. So we ended up with Unity again. The server is an ASP.net WebAPI app hosted on the Google Cloud (yay for trials!).

We had many cool ideas, like naming the cities, city walls, bridges, pollution control, job demand, well you know the city sim drill. But in a more simplistic way, of course. And some things are implemented but we ran out of time to really show it and explain it, like building effect radius that some kind of tiles have.

For now, we're waiting for the feedback to validate the concept and maybe get courage to make a real attempt at this idea.

We'll be waiting for your comments, so check our entry.

Thanks! See ya around.

The task to build a WebGL version was not easy, but it is ready!

Communitas is a simplified take on a blend between City simulators and http://reddit.com/r/place.
