I couldn't get the game to work sadly :(
I tried the first file v0.0.3.7z.001 and the zip file has a password it seems. The second file v0.0.3.7z.002 has an unrecognized file format
My apologies
That's really odd! Did you download both of the files into the same location before unzipping the 001 file? Your unzipper should have been able to figure out that they were both part of the same file and reconstruct it from there.
oh wait, was I supposed to have both files in the same folder while unzipping 001? What I did was download 001 alone, then tried unzipping it, but it asked for a password, so I deleted it
Then I downloaded 002, but that file had an unrecognized file format. I'll try to download both this time and unzip 001 again, but with 002 in the same directory this time. Maybe that'll work
A great creepy vibes game!
Thanks! I accidentally jumpscared myself several times while making it (especially while working on the basement), so I'm glad other people found it delightfully spooky as well!
I tried playing your game on the end of the part 3 stream however the game struggled to run. I played your game off camera then. And gave a rating to it at the beginning of part 4 stream
Thanks so much for the in-depth review and generous rating! It was also great to see real video of what's been happening for some people with lower end systems. I don't feel like I'm constantly chucking high-intensity graphics or update/tick calls at the computer hardware but clearly something has been going on that I haven't accounted for. I'll look deeper into stuff like adjusting LODs and implementing more aggressive culling for future projects (and the updated versions of this one).
With unreal, I noticed that models tend to be unoptimized as well. If you have a model that has 100K tris when it only needs 100, you'll take a massive performance hit. So model optimizations, LODS, static batching collision, baking lighting, reducing number of Realtime light bounces, ect.. all really play a roll.
Audio and visuals both used effectively. The music really made me feel like something was coming to get me.
Thanks! I definitely spent way too much time looking through music samples.
Interesting combine items concept, good work!
Thanks! I've had the germ of the idea for this game floating around in my head for a while now, and when I heard the jam theme, I immediately realized how a combination mechanic would be a great fit.
so cool game
Thanks! If you liked it, come back in a few weeks when I've got more systems up and running as intended. :)
Couldn't play your game. It prompted an error with my gc and started with a very low fps... I see it's done with Unreal Engine.
Could you tell me anything specific about your rig? It's happened a couple of times that the games I've made are very difficult to run for some people, but I haven't discovered a pattern yet to narrow down how to fix it.
I had to upload the game in essentially a pre-alpha state due to time constraints and a new puppy, but I hope y'all enjoy! I'll update it once the jam is over to really flesh it out.
ah yes, the new puppy. I’ve been there buddy :D
