Thanks everyone for trying out our game!! 😎🥰 We had so much fun making it and we hope that you guys enjoy playing it too 🥰😎

There were some stretch goals that we didn't meet and unfortunately some bugs that slipped under our radars but all in all we are really proud of what we achieved! (Especially as it was our first time using Unreal Engine and writing in C++ 🙃)

Here is a low down of the core gameplay loop, which unfortunately is only accessible via multiplayer right now as we didn't have time to create an AI character to play against!

  • Practice building by pressing F before connecting (you can do this without having to press Host or Connect and can give a try as soon as you open the game!)
  • Press the Host button by Tabbing to it or get a friend who is on the same Network as you to Host
  • The other person then will need to Tab to the input field to type in your local IPv4 Address (you can find this by typing in ipconfig into Command Line on Windows)
  • Press Connect !
  • The Build Timer should then begin for both players and you have 60 seconds to build an epic base / fortress!!
  • Once this timer runs out building is disabled and the big, stone slab will fall!!
  • You can now press left-click to shoot and find the other player hidden in their fortress or... let them come find you!
  • The first player to defeat their opponent WINS!

Thanks again for checking out our game 🤩 and don't forget to check out all of the other awesome submissions for the Human Game Jam! Everyone did an epic job!!!! 🤩

I don’t have windows, but if you are able to upload a mac build, I’m happy to give it a try. It looks fun

Definitely something we would love to do!! We will look to see if we can upload multiple builds to the same project!

Looks really beautiful, But can’t click on host or use the gun. Maybe it’s related to the error I have when I launch the game :

Error : CDO Constructor ( Arium Game Mode) : Failed to find /game/thirdpersonCPP/BLueprints/ThirdPersonCharacter.ThirdPersonCharacter_C

Hi! Thanks heaps for downloading and giving our game a whirl!! 😎

The gun currently only becomes active after the build timer runs out in multiplayer mode, which is accessed by pressing tab to use the Host/Connect buttons. We know that this is finnicky but unfortunately we didn't have time to re-build with the cursor enabled before submitting 😔 You can play with someone who is on the same Network as yourself!

Thanks also for uploading that error!! We will have a look into it :D big help!

So I opened it up. I walked around, did squats, jumped, then I pressed f and built some walls, ramps, and floors with 1,2,3.
I liked: 
Very beautiful background.
Smooth movements from the dude.
The Building system works okay. 

Could improve:

Not sure how to use the host/connect options. 
The Gun didn't work.
There didn't seem to be any gameplay implemented other than the building aspect... I see from the pictures that there are some PvP battles... probably something to do with the host/connect buttons. 
I couldn't leave the concrete block.
The building tool only lets you build on the first level... no ability to build up.

Hello! Thanks so much for trying out our game 😍 and for the feedback!
Unfortunately, when we built the game we forgot to check the show cursor button so you have to tab to use the Host and Connect buttons. (and then didn't have time to re-build before submitting! 🙃
And yes! PvP and the gun is doable through the Host/Connect buttons but only with a player on the same Network as you. Server Multiplayer was out of scope for the time we had to make this though definitely something we will explore in the future to make this feature more accessible!
The gun only becomes active once the build timer runs out in multiplayer mode. You have 60seconds to build a base/fortress and then when the middle wall falls the gun becomes active and then the shooting begins! But perhaps it might be better if you can use the gun before connecting also! 
Building on multiple levels was a stretch goal of ours that unfortunately we didn't meet... but definitely something we wanted to do!

Thanks again for giving it a go!!  🥰

Sounds much cooler with those added details. Can't wait to see how much more you guys do on it.
