The graphics and the game mechanics are extremely impressive!
The particles, VFX, explosions, sounds! Wow! And amazing game feel.
You paid attention to so many details!
Your prior experience with space shooters and your 'sleepless nights' really paid off!
I didn't even know you could make such awesome games with Unreal Engine in such a short amount of time!
And to build complex mechanics to upgrade the space ship :O
This is amazing, especially for your very first game entry!
I have to say, unfortunately this game does not run very well on my PC, it's a bit laggy, might be due to my drivers and I couldn't get it to run smoothly. So I combined my playing with the videos I watched of it to form an opinion.
Even the title screen you created is amazing.
Very impressive, so congrats to you as well for the game!
Viewing post in NOT ALONE: Kill'em all! jam comments
Thank you very much!
It's always good to get good feedback when you spend so much time on it. I took advantage of the fact that this game jam fell during my week of vacation to give it my all!
Unreal Engine is a great tool but I've been spending all my free time on it for 3 years now. At the beginning, it's very easy to use, but there are a lot of subtleties to understand when you want to do something advanced. The experience allowed me to go quite fast in the development of this game but when I see what I have already added, modified and improved it is quite frustrating that you can only test this first version!
Blender, Audacity, Gimp and UE5 have become my best friends :D
Hope to see you again :)
Oh yes, free time is the best for game jams. Otherwise it feels almost impossible to finish a game!
Okay, that's very interesting! And do you have experiences with other game engines other than Unreal Engine? Like to be able to compare which ones are faster?
I mean you'll be able to upload the improved version after the jam.
Audacity and Gimp!!! ❤️ They are my best friends too at the moment! :) Most people don't know how potent Gimp actually is.
You can do extremely advanced photoshop with it if you understand the features.
So did you create all the art for this game yourself?
