Hey, I appreciate you enjoyed the game so much that you want to make your own version, I understand the sentiment.
But for obvious reasons I am not going to share the whole unity project as this used to be a commercial endeavour and in any case it costed me months of hard work.
I can although point you in the same direction I took when I started making the game:

• For the physics simulation I used this framework: https://github.com/TomorrowTodayLabs/NewtonVR?tab=readme-ov-file
  This framework is quite outdated nowadays, but it should still work with some tweaking, I don't necessarily reccommend it as it is really old, but you can find some really good code in there!

• For the shaders, I had to make my own "Lightsaber" shader with custom mesh generation. It works similarly to Unity's trail renderer.
  I can't share my own source code, but a quick Google search finds this project that could be good for you: https://github.com/jjxtra/UnityLaserSword?tab=readme-ov-file
• FInally, for the enemy AI, it's all custom built, it's a physics-based model that predicts the next hit from the player and tries to intercept it to parry, mixed with a regular animation for the swinging. The drones are much more basic than that.

I hope that points you in the right direction. Alongside this I also released a full devlog on how I made most parts of the game and you can find them here: Playlist

I will do my best to make this work within AppLab so it will be easier to install in the future, keep me updated if you manage to install it, otherwise, hold tight, I'm on it!

that's weird, is your device in developer mode?

If you haven't, try using side quest, it should be fine installing from there. 

It's a C++ engine, you can uise Microsoft Visual Studio to edit the source files, it's not a program you can run as a standalone, it's a game engine.

it's free and open source, have fun with it :)

Damn that's an amazing game!!
Thanks for trying out the engine, it made my day to see how much you managed to do with it :D

Love them! :D

if you've got an idea for a theme leave a comment, they will all be pooled and one will be randomly selected when the jam starts. 

The tech behind it is similar, but it's not optimized at all, so its purpose is mainly as a studying tool if you're interested in developing engines like it.

thanks :)

Thank you so much!
I have released this as a finished product, but in the next few months I will be working on a sequel where you will have your own spaceship and you will be able to go through environments in a dungeon crawler style.
It will take a long time before that's done though...

Hi, unfortunately it's not built for mac, but I did release the source code so if you have a c++ compiler you can build it gior mac and add stuff to it as well :)

It does what it says on the tin, I'm not going to lie, this tool is not going to set your world on fire, but what it does is really neat.

I made it to pretty much be on par with other tools in the same market, but I've added a few more functionalities that I am surprised other tools don't have. For example, AO Bakery swaps the mesh for you on the GameObject you are working on, it also includes a non-destructive subdivisions system to increase detail on your mesh for that sweet AO detail!

Anyways, if you're curios of what I am talking about, here's a couple of videos:

That's a general overview of the tool

And a quick look at the mesh subdivion property

I've just released a package that is the pinnacle of my experience in network programming, I made a series of tutorials for it too, the audio quality is not great but I really poured my heart into it, if you want to have a look they are here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzXS9iZHWqBYt89TpZ93SkndBzGC4PLdO

here's an introduction that will not be wasting your time: 

I feel super excited and nervous at the same time, it's been a long time I ever finished something so I wanted to share it with you and tell you all that it's all about keeping at it, no matter how hard or boring it may become!
You can find the framework here: https://thaon.itch.io/swiss-army-server

can you check if your computer is 32 or 64 bits?

Unfortunately I built this for 64bit only. Since the upload I changed pc and moved to a different country, I can't find the engine at the moment, but there is an open source version of it here: https://github.com/Thaon/MinimalGameEngine, you can probably build it for 32bit and also find out how it works :D

hey thanks!

The engine only supports png files at the moment, try converting your bmp and key me know if it works :)

Happy coding!

thanks for the tip, I'll do it asap!

I've just released my small passion project: the Micro Game Engine. It's supposed to be a tribute to the first versions of Game Maker, and to the amazing feeling of being able to create small experiments and games in no time.

Nowadays it's really a struggle to get anything going with the 2 mainstream engines being too massive to justify opening them up just to have some fun.

Here's my solution: a super lightweight engine that will do all the heavy lifting for you, leaving the fun parts to the developer.

Have a look at a small video that shows how to make a small adventure game demo with the engine!
