Hi.  I'm looking for someone to fulfill the roll of level designer and programmer on a Star Fox like game.  The project does not require
very advanced coding but does need someone with good level design ideas for a flying game.
For compensation all I can offer is a revenue share, your cut would between 40-30%.

I cannot say much about the project because I want our programmer to be involved in the creative process very early on.  What I can say
is the game will be hand drawn animations.  We have an artist onboard and myself I have a basic understanding of UE4, will pay for the sound/music,
handle misc tasks like marketing, and provide team leadership.

Our goal is to be done with the game in 6 months.  If this sounds interesting please contact me at michaelmoonj@gmail.com

Hi, thanks for your kind comment. Actually, WASD is not used to move forward, instead just moves up/down/left/right perpendicular to your movement direction, so you can reach the walls of the tunnel. (note, there's still a bug, left/right are exchanged when looking backwards).

The forward movement within the scene happens at a fixed speed of blood flow and you only can accelerate by pressing the spacebar (costs energy) or by reaching the speed proteins. For this, you need to used WASD to get near the wall, where they reside.

You are right, high speed makes it really difficult. So sometimes better skip speed proteins. You also can slow down with right mouse button. but be careful not to run out of time. All in all, it's sometimes even better to run through at highest speed without shooting any virus at all, just to collect energy and get more time extension on each round, sometimes it even can be better to slow down to shoot more viruses.  It's a balance though, and to get the highest score you even might decide to take many rounds to kill all phagocytes as well, but watch time remaining...

After all viruses are killed, the next level starts, but that does not yet exist...

There's still a lot to improve. Thank you very much for your kind comment.

Hello again

I know that WASD moves to the sides. But the issue is that this movement speed is way too fast. And I can see in the video it's does not happens on you computer. My guess is that you have forgot to multiply your movement speed with deltatime.

Hi, I have made some quick fix for this and hope, it will work now. As uploads are still disabled during voting process, here's a link to the updated file for you: Vaccinator_v0.2

The idea is simple and pretty fun. Sadly the movement speed when you press WASD is really high, witch make the game a bit difficult to play.
