How does you game fit the theme?
You discover that the goverment is lying to us and the Earth is in fact flat so this whole time all the facts "were not real".

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No, we made most of models and all of code but soundtrack some models and UI is from asset store.

Great game. Here's a link to my playthrough... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1418903310?t=02h15m17s

The atmosphere with the fog in this is super cool. The intro tutorial section was also really neat how you had stuff suspended as if it was a museum. I wish there was a little more to the main game. As is, it is pretty easy, you just keep running dodging everything. Was it hard to make it endless? How did you do it?

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

Glad you like it. Accually the bigger problem then make it endless was to make the turret and tank aim for you. ^^ I just randomly spawn a lot of objects behind the fog and when they collide they destroy itselt. Let me know if you want more detailed explenation.

Submitted

Nice lol. When they collide with what destroys them? Do you have a super large plane for the ground or do you just spawn in planes as the player walks?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

The spawned objects have bigger collider which dissables itself when player gets near and destroys object if it collides with another one spawned. For the planes there  are small planes generated nearby you to walk on and one bigger that is slightly underneath the small ones so you can see terrain in distance. The bigger one moves with you but the small ones get destroyed behind you and generate in front of you. I used shader so you can not see the differences in textures. I hope this will help you.

Interesting thanks for sharing!

Nice game, I like the atmosphere and the visuals are nice. The music is good too. Rated it! If possible do rate and play my game :) it'd be a huge help

Thanks for playing. Surely will look at your game too.

Really enjoyed this - it reminded me of games from the mid 90s like Crazy Ivan and Mech Warrior (despite not actually being in a mech lol). I think it was the style of 3D models you used. The gameplay felt really smooth and everything looked very polished. I'm really impressed that there was no lag despite using procedural generation - props for that. I also thought the view distance and fog you applied to the view limit was perfect.

Some suggestions I have though:

- The planes stopped flying over after a few hundred meters and I didn't see the turrets in game at all (just the tanks). Perhaps that was just lack of development time rather than an actual bug.

- The game felt quite easy. I was able to make over 4000 meters with 200+ health and only stopped due to needing to do other things rather than being killed. Perhaps you could have added a max health limit (e.g. 120) and made some of the obstacles harder to spot (such as mines being hidden and only being revealed just before you run into them meaning you have to do reflex jumps to avoid them).

- The UI elements appeared off the side of the screen for me so I think you possibly tested the game in the wrong resolution.

Really nice nostalgic experience though. I also really like the narrative opening level and the tutorial arena. Nice touches there :)

Developer

Glad you liked it. There was some more content made for it like big bases and turrets but bases made huge lag and turrets are for some reason not spawning.But I will fix everithing after the jam ends.

I fell through the floor, so my score is infinite :D :D Nice game dude! Its just strange that tanks are shooting rockets :D :D 

Developer

Thank for playing.I did not have time to add planes so I adaped the idea to use all the models. :)

Submitted(+1)

Really cool looking game! (I got 1600) The music is very fitting and the models are very nice! The only problem I had was that at the start, when you had to pack your stuff, the game did hide not capture the mouse so I was restricted to the browser window (I played the browser version in fullscreen)


Luckily, this was resolved in the actual game! Very good game!

Developer

Thanks for playing. I will repait it after the jam ends with another A4 full of bugs. :)

i got a distance of 10k because i phased through the floor lol

Developer (1 edit)

Well played. :)

lol

I got a distance of 527 and a time of 92 was anyone better? I really liked the game! The sounds where good and the gameplay was fun, but you could have added some explosion particles or something when you got hit, so you know that you got hit...

Developer

Thanks for playing. I was planning to add that in, but one week was not enough time.

Submitted(+1)

Wish I could have played it more, but my mouse cursor would just move outside the game because of my other monitors. Not sure how to fix it.

Developer

I'm sorry for your issues. Have you tried downloading the game ?

Submitted(+1)

Nice game. Liked the playfulness of the tutorial. Good atmosphere with the music and mist as well. Maybe add some explosions for the shooting tanks and airplanes?

Developer

Thanks for playing.I wanted to add particles but  I barely uploaded the game in time so... maybe in the future.
