Great experience!

I think the idea here is really cool. I love the idea of drawing runes in the air to open doors. I don't understand the gun with an eye, but who cares!? It was dope too. I did end up dropping the gun and was unable to pick it up due to lack of crouching abilities in the game (mine also suffers from this). I was unable to open the door by drawing the ruin. I gave it a good try, but no success. Regardless, you should be happy with this. It looks great and you nailed a solid chunk of mechanics. It sounds silly, but the UI text when drawing ruins was uber cool. It's solid work for your first time doing a game and coding! Keep it up!

Thanks a lot man, sorry about the gun, don't know if you noticed but there is a jenky holster on the right hip lol ... I think this time I made a mistake when uploading the right build. i just uploaded a new and hopefully final/working one. if you don't mind trying again I would really appreciate it, I had to learn about streaming assets and building the game properly and made a real mess in the process hehe

Submitted

I hate to say it but I think its still not working for me.

Just tried it with the new version but the gate still would not open.  I stood in the middle of the stone circle after the magic sound played. I tired drawing the shape back and forth in different sizes but nothing happend :(

Developer

damn man, thats so weird and annoying, some people say it works some say it dont…  dunno what to do anymore

Submitted

Sorry man that sucks, at least some people got to play it !

Justin wants to try to play all games this weekend so maybe it will work then. 
Would be nice to see the playthrough, I really liked the environment :)

Developer

Hey man, i know it's repetitive now. but if u mind trying again with the final build i just uploaded. i think last time I made a mistake and uploaded a old build... at this point my project is such a mess but it should work hahaha

Submitted

Hey, I just tried it again with no luck :(

I saw you used streaming assets ? Maybe the game is trying to reference a location on your computer that no one else has ?

I dont know too much about streaming assets but I think that can happen ? Also do I still need the xml files that were available ? I did not find them anymore and deleted them from my pc.

Developer

oh well... yes I used streaming assets... but didn't really have time to learn about it. Someone suggested trying it or resources folder for holding the xml files and i just blindly implemented it on the code with hopes of fixing the problem, but still some people appear to be able to play the game no problem. maybe because you already played an old version the game, and it created a folder on your appdata. and now the new version of the game is still trying to find it on the old location... well I have no idea lol, but thanks for trying again... Will study more about these folders for my future games.

yay!! :D
