I actually love this so much! It's quite clever to use the fog of war and cone vision gameplay feature to be used in this way. With more polish (especially by making the move around the map) this could be one of the coolest games in the jam.
P.S. as someone that has been through the experience of learning coding a game for the first time as part of a game jam, I completely feel and understand the struggle. Keep up the good work!
Nice little prototype! A cool concept and a nice implementation, I like that the danger level really decreases when you go out of sight of the enemy. It would be cool to have more complex levels, but for the very first game it is a very very solid submission! Keep going!
Also a little advice: to get more feedback and more people to play your game, upload a web version of your games as well, as far as I know gamemaker can make web builds. A lot of people just don't bother downloading executables and play only web based games. You can practice exporting your game and uploading it to itch as a web game to a separate test project, it shouldn't be that hard.
Thank you so much for the advice, If I remember correctly I tried to upload export this project to run on HTML. But the lighting system I imported and basically spend the whole jam wrangling to do what I want simply didn't function on HTML. For my next project, if I have more time and understanding of what I'm working with, I will be sure to upload the game to be run on HTML.
cool game, would love to see a more polished version after the jam. good job man!
Really lovely concept! short but sweet and considering its the first game you've ever created you should be ridiculously proud of yourself! Keep at it, fantastic job :D
Thank you so much for the kind words. I just played the game you submitted, I hope one day I can create a game as good as the one you guys did within 48 hours.
