Because in soem cases this does not work, here is a 100% way to get it work. Copy the Pictureadress and then add a video to your post. Normally you should a a link to a video, but it also works with pictures. So paste the link into it and the picture will appear !
I guess I'll kick it off!
It's super bare right now, but I've got things like selectable elements going, along with highlights, also the fixed camera that'll only move up and down between two points (dont want the player zooming their camera off into space). Still, doesn't have to look pretty yet, it just has to work!
Also it's kind of hard to see, but the mirror on the right is selected (it's got a red light that turns on when it's selected), and the top left mirror has the mouse cursor over it (pinkish light that turns on and off as long as the mouse cursor is hovering over it). Bottom left is what mirrors look like when it's not selected at all.
All in all I'm surprised at the amount of progress I've made so far, considering how long it's been since I've actually touched a game engine, but it's coming back to me slowly lol.
Can't wait to see what others have done!
Also, I recommend a program called Gyazo for taking quick pictures of your progress. It binds itself to your printscreen key, lets you drag out a rectangle and it'll quickly upload the image to its servers. Then you can right click the image it uploads and select that image url to use here, it gets rid of a whole other step of saving and uploading a print screened image lol.
So my game Bereaved (That's what I'm calling it for now) is a Puzzle Platformer with voxel graphics(because I suck at blender) where you control 2 twin brothers(at the same time) that are spiritually connected that has dies, one is sent to the gates of heaven another to the gates of hell, you play as these brothers on their journey to meetup once again.
I've got the 2 screens setup with the ability to swap them around whenever you want
I also couldn't get it to work at first. What ended up working for me was to hover over the image and click the drop down arrow next to the link that pops up. It will give you an option for "shareable links" or something like that. Click it, then select the link next to blogs. Post that and it should work.
Mine sounds like it's very much along the lines of @10d22's. Currently you control two players at once who have opposite gravitational directions, but they can become disjointed along the global x-axis as well as cross each other's local y-axis. I'm thinking I'll try to incorporate puzzle elements into the game, but it might also be interesting to have some metroidvania-esque business as well. I can imagine a certain level of difficulty would emerge from having to make rapid decisions for two characters that are not locked to the same x position. Anyway, we'll see! Let the fun begin :D
Just started messing around with Voxel Characters. And my Recreation from the tutorial is quite good !
And yeah, till i come up with an actual idea, what i could do with Mirrors, i will keep creating chars and enviroment and stuff:-)
I switched to double the amount of blocks for every character, so that i can add more details, and create non human characters, otherwise it would be difficult to create a skeletons. I also came up with a pretty good game mechanic that i will try to get working. But the basic game concept would be a horror game.
Sooo finally got Animations working. Sometimes i hate blender... especially if u miss 1 thing and your whole animation does not work.
But here it is ! My first Idle Animation for the female Character. Guess i can add that to the male char too.
And a friend of mine joiend me onto the artworks, so i can try more gameplay mechanics ! :D
We already thought about creating random levels, when the basic mechanics work !
And heres what my friend already designed as teh 'mystical' enemy !
Especially the hoe looks ways better than my design i made earlier.
It gets especially interesting when i add particles inside of UE4, bc then this dude will look bad ass :D
What is the saying, Fail fast?
Tried an endless runner but split with the movement mirrored. didn't find the fun. :(
Update: draft of start screen for new idea. Still needs a few assets created and put in. I am thinking that play will have the character touch the mirror to a fade out and quit will do some sort of step back before quitting.
Everyone's doing really well! I could only work on it a little today, hopefully I'll get some more done before work, but I mostly got the reflection thing working.
Running into a slight issue where if the angle's wrong on one of the mirrors it gets caught in an infinite loop and has to be exited out, I assume it's something to do with my logic where if the angle's perfectly aimed back at the source it's generating infinitely, but I'll have to look into it later. Also the last loop is short but I think that'll be an easy fix.
