Thanks The two views were going to be an essential part of the game balancing the light that you absorb against your spend so whenever you are n the dull your light gradually drains way but if you stay there too long then you dont have enough light to fight the enemies because attacks in the dull cost light etc. etc.
Thanks for taking a look the things missing from either scene was to be a central part of the game so in the first level to rescue the first acolyte you need to flip a switch in the Bright switch to the dull and go through the dark door and on the other side switch back to the bright to avoid the shade that pushes you back through the dark door
The houses are a free low poly asset from unity asset store going to the grey screen is supposed to be a first person view of the dark dimension with monsters to fight. Not sure why you didnt get that...
Hi Thanks there were a few problems as you can tell from the desription. The worst thing is the build before this one I had the NPCs in and the inventory weapon sytem but I messed github up (big learn right there) I didnt think anyone would be interested in such an incomplete game. But here goes You are a PolyDime a (poly dimensional) light warrior. Returning to your Abbey after visiting a light university to learn your new found skills. basically at the abbey you finsd out that some acolytes have been kidnapped by shades etc. etc.
So you can only fight shades and find their lair in the dull dimension. And you can only talk to NPC and collect items in the Bright (hence you cant see the same in both views.) the yellow bar is the light you have absorbed and the idea is you absorb light in the bright and spend it for light attacks in the dark and there are all sorts of plays and bslsnves between the two that never got added. Hope that explains it lol
Thanks if you liked this you would have loved it with the Dialog system and ful linventory system working. And I planned for 5 levels each with some unique puzzles and challenges. I might come back and add some of those things after I have slept for about 7 months lol.
Thanks It was my first Jam and I learned a lot of things. 1 The team: With it being my first jam I was keen to get a team together and I used previous submissions and chatting to try to get a good team. unfortunateely I felt that some interested people were optimistic about their abilities and others some others were naturally reticent. On UNiJammers next jam I will be more careful. The team members that were over optimistic took a lot of work on my part which I could have spent making 3d models or working on better combat.
2 The Plan The next thing I learned was not to plan as if the whole team is as committed as you are to the project. I have 3 people from my team that I would absolutely love to work wioth again but my next Jam I will plan something that if I had no team mates that I could just about finish alone as a base game. Then if your team is good you can focus on tweaks improvements and polish.
3 Do not put too much pressure on team members that you do not know are able. Although this is not exactly all my fault right at the start I announced to all members that I was new to this although been a project manager all of my working career. So please tell me if I am asking too much and let me know if you can handle more.
4 Big Issue LEARN GITHUB I have used github before but only to download a few games. In my career I always used MSPM for project management. In the last few hours of the jam I had created one level which had 3 NPC's (capsules) to talk to and 2 chests and 3 lockboxes to get items from. Plus as you hit the shade monsters they grew smaller until they were defeated. Due to my unfamiliarity with GH I lost this entire scene during pushing or pulling or commiting or reviewing or conflict resloving or just plain old inability to understand!
Finally Real life happens all the time with everyone but if you are jamming its suposed to be for fun... If you aint enjoying it then we are doing something wrong!
