On a Screen Door by ShawnFeatherly

[raw]
made by ShawnFeatherly for LD31 (COMPO)
This game is about staying on the one screen. The one screen door! Use arrow keys, WASD, or the on screen buttons to stay on the screen door. Otherwise, the entire game is over (until you click retry).

Used:
Unity3D
Blender
Paint.Net (to place the 7 pixels used in the all important screen texture)
A rehash of this guys skybox http://www.farmpeeps.com/fp_skyboxes.html

Did this in maybe 6 hours. Most of the time was learning Blender. Didn't have a lot of time to devote to the jam. :-/

I joked with my team about a screen door game. Hilarious implementation of the theme.

Very fast game development, and I hope you had fun learning Blender. Did you mean to submit as a jam entry? It shows up as a compo entry, which means you have to make everything from scratch, but it sounds like you used some resources like the skybox for the background.

The game itself is simple but oddly stressful.

Hi there. Nice interpretation of theme. Found the balancing act very difficult, couldn't get beyond about 9.5s. Shame no sound. Good job!

Thanks for all the comments :-)

I did mean to submit it as a compo entry. The photos I used for the skybox aren't one's I took myself. I only did the work to create a Unity3D skybox with the images. I thought if we made clear what parts were from other sites we're okay?

You know, I didn't really examine the grass much. I thought it was from some photos. But now that I look at it more, maybe it is ComputerGenerated.
