That was great! I managed to bring a friendly chair along with me to the exit after a while. Love the fact that the co-workers field-of-view is explained by their phones :P
Just a few things of note: If you missed the submission deadline but still have something to submit, feel free to post a link to your entry on the #submissions channel on our Discord (https://discord.gg/QMbASyu) and submit a postmortem to either the Discord channel or as a topic in this community page!
We'll be running a survey on the next run of the competition in a few months, so look out for that on Discord or on our Twitter account (https://twitter.com/7d3djam). The survey will be to help us determine a good timeframe for the second run of the jam this year, and whether or not people would like ranked or unranked entries among other things.
Updated the distribution, might or might not be a smoother experience this time. Give it a go if you have time and we'll see if I got it right this time!
Ah yes, it's been a while since I've shipped a C++ executable. The error you're getting probably means I missed a DLL dependency, and the AV/Browser blocking is most likely because I didn't switch to a release build (Executable still has debugging symbols and such, as well as a console window).
My little framework/renderer/engine is basically "complete" (In that I managed to integrate the systems I wanted), and I'm now toying around with adding a bit of interactivity on top of it. So between 50%~100% depending on how much work I end up putting into it over this last stretch.
Gave it a play. The game doesn't control very well, has too weighty of a feel to it. If you're wanting platforming as a part of your core gameplay experience, you should allow for more air control unless the jumps are designed around uncontrolled jumps. But given the time you spent on it, and this being a learning experience, don't take that too harshly - also props for trying UE during a jam, most people run to Unity for quick 3D. 3/5.
Another
timeless classic. I'd recommend giving the optimization chapters a miss
(You're on a time budget!), but this book contains valuable information
if you're trying to create your own software renderer!
And if
you're really into doing things the old way, DOSBox and the DJGPP
compiler are your friend! (The jam welcomes entries for any platform!)
A very colorfully written introduction to 3D game development through the lens of the mid 90s.
I
recommend giving at least Chapter 10 (3D Fundamentals), even if you
plan on using an existing engine. The fundamentals are often taken for
granted, and this book does an excellent job at demystifying them!
