Matthew, can't you just use the gif animations instead for the preview????
Today's Pic is the battle arena:
Pink Knight is using a fire attack and has 3 hearts, the blob has a water shield and has 2 hearts.
So... I suppose a water shield would stop a fire? No damage to either side
yep. the engine is definitely a WIP. but it is very stable. programmed in OpenGL with custom shaders.
so, for todays WIP:
initially it looks like there is nothing new. But wait. there are blood splats and numerous monsters. So it looks like the battle system is now functional ;)
Been bug hunting and getting timings right so it doesn't feels slow.
so, the essence is 30 seconds to get the relic and 30 seconds to get out. Fighting monsters will either remove a heart (they won) or give you a few seconds extra to play with (you won)
Hopefully Matthew can access the above video from youtube as well ;)
Looking forward to playing everyone else's games as well.
Yeah i think i just thought i could do so much more in a month but its hard trying to do this plus full time job and 14 month daughter but i feel like i achieved something even if i dont get everything in the game that i wanted i think people will still enjoy it.
Your game is coming along nice it looks pretty cool man looking forward to playing it, how much more of that have you got to go?
sounds Like you have your hands full if I knew unity I would try and give you a hand. I still have to do assets for a whole other level. But I just finished with my characters animation's he can now jump run walk idle and does a three sword attack combo and death. Sound effects I'm having trouble with. I want to touch up my AI as well make them smarter.
thanks man took way to long in blender first time using it always used 3dsmax before this but thought i would give blender a try. yeah i'm using UE4 never done stuff with swords before so im a little unsure how to blend walking with Sword attack but im sure i could find out some info somewhere for it. Thanks for watching it
Definitely has something about it that is interesting. would be a shame not to get it to a more playable state.
Here's a graphics tweak for you to think about. place a graded dark sprite (going from grey to transparent, below your figure for instant shadow effect. Stops him from looking like he is floating a bit .:)
Here's today WIP
adding some spice to the display. also some more mechanics to do with doors... and rooms... and lighting...
Really interesting mechanic about moving in two time frames to complete. Got to say the look is great - especially the slightly shiny paint.
Unreal or Unity?
So, we're in the final segment now and the pressure is on for all of us ;)
Looks like the same for the Nomicron as well...
Last one for the day. possibly the last one...
The Room is found and the Nomicron has opened with the cards of evil!
The logo is seen, and there is a nice big button to press.
I hear the wind and in the distance the mournful bell tolls...
Such a nice glowing red button! I wonder what it does?
Oh no!!! I feel your pain Adam. Something similar happened to me in a previous jam once. It's a crushing feeling I know. I'd say keep working on the issues, after some much needed rest though. You can still upload it on your itch page and people will still get a chance to play it when and if you do figure out the issues! Never give up man haha ;)
currently there are no plans to release the game until I can work out where things went wrong. It's all been a learning process so nothing wasted.
Hopefully the game issues can be solved and I can think what to do later ;)
