Working on a marble madness inspired game using UE4. It's taken me a while to get the graphics looking correct but I think I have it down now after getting some advice from irwatts. Player controls are in and core gameplay is functional. I am setting it up as an endless runner.

So far all I have to show is this tweet with a gif, compression makes it look terrible though... https://t.co/CoHr6qs6IY

I will have more to show soon!

Ohhh yeah; Used to love playing these type of games! Looking forward to your game

Another alltime fave for me! Good luck!

Loving this so far, can't wait to play it (also, compression isn't making it horrible at all, it's making it look more legit! Like it's streamed from a crappy display device from back in the days)

Thanks! I'm taking the day off from work tomorrow so I can work on it all day. So much to do!

Excellent idea! That game type is one of my all-time favourites! Looking forward to trying it out.

Things are progressing well. Better player controls. New font. Lots more section types for the random generation. So much more work to do.

I made a ton of progress today. The game is all functional, but missing a lot of the trimmings and gameplay balance. Also I still plan to add sound effects and music.

This takes me back to old PC isometric ball-controlling games. But with the game boy style to it. Keep it up!

Just submitted my entry! https://killedbyapixel.itch.io/marblemaniac

Put some extra polish in today for high score tracking, and boot up sequence. Also added more randomness and tweaked gameplay. Got slightly better font working. I really wish I had more time though. The sound effects are super rushed and ran out of time for music.

I made a video of my entry!

I wrote a Postmortem of my experience on this game jam. I go into some details about how it was made where I went wrong. There is also some info about how to achieve this effect in UE4. I hope you enjoy!
