Hah, yup, so I did. Woops. Thanks for playing! I was suitably impressed by your jam game as well.
Thanks. I hope when you make that game, you come post it on my page somewhere so I can check it out too.
Thanks! Since you asked, no, it's not just rng. The AI decision is 25%: attack the leader, attack the person with the least cargo, attack the person closest or just random. It's definitely designed to 'punish' the leader, without being completely overwhelming. To give it all a bit of back and forth challenge.
Thanks! I did originally have the idea of showing the cargo on board. Apart from just not having time to implement it, I wasn't sure it'd visual be recognisable while everything else is going on. But whether it's that, or something else, I do agree that it'd be good to visual see somehow what the other boats are carrying. I'm going to give it more thought post jam.
Thanks!
Ah yes, if only that were the only bug in the ships AI. There are, indeed, no colliders (well, there are triggers for raycasts, but not solid colliders) to prevent a bunch of other potential bugs and issues. But the ships should (in theory) always steer around the rocks, and each other. Except when they don't. And the other ships also shouldn't suicide straight into the player. Except when they do. Alas, thus is game jamming.
I'm glad you had fun.
Thanks for playing! The X does actually show where the cargo is going to land (or close, there's an adjustment for wave height, and the calc happens on a flat plane below the waves). It's just that everyone is also moving, and so they'll move out of the way if you aim where they were! That's the fun of it, having to predict where people are going to move to.
Oh Unity :( I've turned off the WebGL build for the moment, so people can still download and play while I work out what unity needs. Thanks!
Thanks for playing! I appreciate the feedback. The AI will punish you if you get too far ahead, which I think gives the game a nice challenge. Interesting about the gamepad controller taking over like that.
I have one around, but I didn't test with my gamepad like I normally do. I kind of made the decision early to just focus on getting the keyboard mapping working and gamepads can be an optional in the future if I get around to it. For gamepads, while the unity defaults will still be there, the other inputs aren't mapped. It wouldn't be too difficult in the future to work all this out, but I am almost sure I won't have time before the end of the jam.
No idea what happened with the WebGL build. The error (at least the stacktrace) is deep in Unity rendering calls. It worked in the first version (I played myself on Itch), I made a tiny code fix and now the WebGL build breaks. Rolled back the code to the first version, and now it breaks too. Hooray Unity. Might be something broken with my install (see also, one day I'll learn not to use beta Unity versions for doing game jams). I'll look into it one day, but real life has kicked in and I've run out of time for the jam.
Thanks for taking the time to play and comment, and coming back after it was broken the first time.
