Alright, here's my first report! Sorry for rambling and the moment of silence at the beginning.
progress. the map now has full mouse over aware positions. So the correct position shows where you are pointing (the red map cell). Also the mirrored selection is shown as a cyan outline
models have been tweaked. there is now
- a rock (can't pass)
- grass (miss one turn)
- fence (blocks 2 exits
- tree (blocks one exit)
that looks great. But I imagine it takes a lot of time to make something like that. I do something different. I make only rough models right now and add the details later when I have finished everything. That way if I don't have enough time at the end some models don't have details but it doesn't matter as much.
Not sure what is happening, but I think the i counter in the for loop might be altered halfway (reduced?) resulting in the for loop not ending as it should. You might want to print out i to debug? Also its not clear how the program flow for the mirror effect via the break statement is working. Perhaps you want to post some of the code used?
Thanks! I posted in another thread with a link to my GitHub with the code, and adroitconceptions was able to help me solve the problem. (The logic of the loop was completely messed up.) There was a lot of extra stuff in there - manipulating the positioncount and so on - that was absolutely unnecessary.
Thanks! My current plan is actually along the lines of the player being quite fragile - the AI will be equipped with crucifixes, holy water, stakes, etc. and if you get close to them with them aware of your presence they'll charge at and attack you (one-hit kill), forcing you to rely on stealth. At the very end of the video you can see I dropped down in the reflected world because there was no light on that side, allowing me to get right up to the target before switching back to feed / win the level.
Well, I think that I took on a challenge that was too big for me. I tried to learn SO many new things about making games while I was still in school and when I finally got to the summer break, there were only a few days left on the Game Jam. I think that I'll post the very small and incredibly buggy game that I managed to make but I had planned something mutch bigger.
Aww :( your game looked so cool. I understand it turning into a chore, I scrapped my old game because it was boring. And I also understand terrible time management and also (for me atleast) an unclear vision.
Does your game have a menu? You could release an unfinished version.
Your work was both creative and interesting, best of luck to your schooling!
Didnt see your reply until now (sorry) :C
What you could do is:
1. Post just one long level and that would cut off so much work.
2. (if gameplay is feeling like a boring walking simulator) you could make "keys" that when touched deletes itself and adds 1 to a keys counter; so when the spiders linecast hits a "door" the player can click and delete it which removes 1 from the key counter, that would make levels not a strait path and I highly recommend it. :D
Extremely sorry for the late reply :C
LeCluck straight into battle ChickenRoyale:
2 sheep remaining, 2 sheep already cooked!
Aliens invade the planet! With their superior laser weapons it should be easy to enslave humanity, is it? ... Not if they fight against mirrors!
Hi fellow game makers!
I'm working on a little game where you can reflect laser shots back to the attacker.
Some other participants had the same idea, but I didn't want to change it. I use the game jam as a reason to build a little game engine by myself to learn more about the inside mechanics. I use the LWJGL to get access to OpenGL from Java. Also, I started to learn Blender and made the terrain, the helicopter and the lighthouse with it.
Until now I added the following:
Unfortunately, I will not finish the game until the deadline, but I learned a lot!
Finally I've finished, and I'm also finished. LOL

There are probably bugs and stray sheep. Sound has been included but not what I really wanted as the code just wasn't finished properly - No Libraries to help me, all custom written ;/
All and any suggestions welcome and I'll even tell you about the code if anyone want's to know...
Phew - I'm off for a lie down in a darkened room now....
...some people are finished.
...some people have 4 days left to do 60% of the project that's about 10%-20% of the size of others' projects in here anyway...
man, i hate bipolar disorder.
also, pretty good artstyle, looks like those whacky cartoony high-production-value flash games from around 2006-2012
(going by the menu screen at least, can't distract myself by playing stuff right now)
I finished my entry Miflected some days ago. Miflected is a puzzle game about mirrors you can play in your browser. You can play 20 different levels or create your own in the level editor.
Finally finished! Play Reflector here I'll hopefully make a video about it tomorrow. For now I'm going to go drop into bed as it's 2:30 AM haha.
Great work to everyone who joined in the jam. I'm so happy that we have over 30 entries! Can't wait to play your games :)
