I usualy work in UE5, this was my first time working in UE4 (4.23 same su you).
And as for the lights, honestly, I did the same as you. Just backed lights for production and it worked. Maybe in your case the problem isindirect light settings or Post process?
BTW i played you game "Murky Gloom" and i like it. It reminds me of resident evil and i loveeee resident evil :)
You're right, we had a pretty similar idea. I would even say that your concept is better than mine. I like the fact that you can do so many things on the phone, not just looking through the camera like in my case.
You made your game in unreal engine, right? I'm interested in how you solved the problem of the ghost that can't be seen with the naked eye but can be seen on camera. The way I achieved this was I gave the ghosts a translucent material that is able to collect custom depth and then I used a stencil so that in the post process of the camera I could make the spirits
Thanks for playing the game and for giving me a detailed analysis. I am aware of most of the problems you mentioned, but I didn't manage to implement them all, bad planning, what can I say 😢. I tried to do enough to show the concept and I hope I succeeded.
- Yes, start screen is quite empty - At the last second I added a tutorial for the camera and for rotating the paper, unfortunately I didn't get around to adding control scheme - Thanks - I know... 😭😭😭 - I wanted to add a lot more details to each interior, but no time 😕 - Thank you, I really wanted to make that first moment special 👌 - Yes - Yes, that is probably my favorite part, the idea was to have a lot more ghosts that would move things, at first you would be in awe and then when you took the camera you would have more understanding. - Thanks - Good To Know - More or less, that's the only thing you can do. 😅 - You didn't find main demon? He is guarding the second gate. it is spawned after picking up the paper with the key. - Will add sprinting for sure 👍 - I guess you're right, it's hard to see ghosts sometimes because of that - Thank you Once again, thanks for playing, I'll make sure to play your game as well 👍
Thank you very much for playing the game, while I was making the game I focused mostly on conveying the concept I wanted (according to your answer I think I succeeded 😄 )
As for the audio, there just wasn't time 😔. there's a bunch of stuff i wanted to add (i was too ambitious) but unfortunately there was no time. BTW I added the audio on the last day of gam jam and I know it wasn't smart. I should have started adding sound a lot earlier, but you learn from mistakes, I guess.
As for the demon and how easy is to kill it, it's actually a bug. The demon should teleport behind the player every time you take a picture of it (it worked in the engines editor but when I build the game that bug happens don't know why)
but yes, thanks for playing the game once again, unfortunately I haven't played your game yet, I know it's the end of the rating but I will definitely play your game and see how you approach this theme for this game jam.
Hi, after the demon you go through the second gate and there you finish the game (it's just a black screen saying game over, didn't have time for cutscene :/), but thanks for playing the game :D
Thank you very much. It's simple, there are several types of the same level and I made it so that the levels never repeat. I mean they are repeated but only if you play game a lot of times, 3 days is not enough to make one game so there are not many levels :)
