One Take by Sheepolution

[raw]
made by Sheepolution for LD28 (COMPO)
Long takes are the newest trend in film making! One Take for a very long scene, with no mistakes by the actors or cameraman!

You work as a cameraman, and your boss, the director, wants to follow the trend of taking these long takes. Can you maneuver yourself through all the points the camera needs to film? Find out and play One Take!

On Mac: SPACE == LEFT CLICK

Use spacebar if for any reason you can't use your left click.

Really enjoyed making this game! I've realized my mistakes and I'm going to make a post-compo version.

Do I read that good? Am I awake? Did I just win?

Guys, thank you so much! As I stated before, I will be making a post-compo version. Be sure to follow me for progress pics and such!

I will make a blog post later, I really need to go to bed, haha. Thanks again!

I am a huge fan of minimalistic pixel art and I really like the idea! :-)

Very neat take on the theme! It was extremely fun (and the scenes were pretty funny too) to play as the cameraman, although sometimes it felt like the shot detection was somewhat off. I did better on my second run though, so maybe it was just me. Good work!

That was pretty amazing. I would recommend putting in a little more audio, I think a nice sound when you did good and a bad sound when you did bad would be great. Just to notify you're on the next part. The rest was really great.

This game is great! I had an awesome time playing it.

What isn't an innovation in this game? Loved the whole experience. Waiting for new stuff!

This game is great. And the end of the third scene is goddamned hilarious. It needs sound, though.

That was great fun, but the camera area detection was definitely off by a little. I really enjoyed it though!
Great work!

great game but the camera detection seemed really bad, or maybe the text just wasn't clear enough
Sheep

Thanks for all the comments!
@Empireindustries
You're right. I should have added a small sound effect for that.

@flatgub and leafo
Try zooming on some more. And try to get them in the center of the screen. But I agree that some detection could be done better.

Very fun and original game :)
I had a minor technical problem on OSX though (even after allowing the game in my security settings):
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file ~/Downloads/OneTake/OneTake.app.
This command solved the problem:
chmod +x OneTake.app/Contents/MacOS/hox

This is another game I was really looking forward to, very innovative use of the theme, and definitely got scope to continue developing into a full game.

Very very nice game. Awesome concept and it fits the theme perfectly! There are so many possibilities with this mechanic and this game shows the basics with good humor.

First time playing this I missed a lot of things, since I didn't knew they were there (and me chaotically looking around what is meant). It would've be nice to have some more queues what comes where + randomized events. That said, still a great game!

Amazing game! Fun, funny, good-looking and well-executed theme.

You actually got to add two more scenes, that was fast :y

Hey man,
the zip for MacOSX seems to be corrupt. I downloaded it two times, both won't work. When you fix it, please let me know, I'd like to play your game.

I just made a post mortem

I'm planning on making a full version of this game. Or at least with this concept.

Very good game. Great style and really great interpretation of the theme. Some of the challenges were pretty picky, so maybe it could use an indication of why you're a little off. Really enjoyed it, good work!

16. Dec 2013 · 20:07 UTC
Very original game, but I didn't really get how it links with the theme.
Anyway, I loved the art and gameplay with the mouse point and scroll, very fun.
joserodolfofreitas
16. Dec 2013 · 20:18 UTC
Very original and innovative game, but it connects very loosely with the theme. The connection comes only through the name, but the gameplay itself hasn't much connection with it.

Anyway, I loved the art and gameplay with the mouse point and scroll, very fun.

There were a few cases where I did not agree with the detection's ruling, but whatever.

Wow great use of the theme. Kind of wonky to know what you are exactly suppose to look at and how much you are suppose to zoom in. Nice job!

This idea is really great. The graphics do their job, the dialogs are amusing - I laughed. Sadly, your condition when something is filmed correctly is a bit too restrictive: sometimes, I had the feeling, that I'm doing it right and it didn't count.

Outstanding. The concept was incredibly original and executed flawlessly. The humour of the director's instructions and comments were excellent throughout.

Having seen some gifs of the game before playing it my expectations were high, luckily I wasn't let down.

Really nice work and a clever use of the theme.

Now this is nice! Give me ten times the levels and I'll buy it on Steam :D

Small issue: The game doesn't seem to have an exit function.
I tried ESC and ALT+F4 but in the end had to shut it down in the task manager.

Haha, awesome! Great use of the theme and really novel, though I really hoped it was going to mock me by showing me the horrible mess of a film that I had made a the end of each take. :D

Really nice concept, and pretty fun :), though a couple of times I felt like I was doing right and the game said I wasn't D:
I could see it as a full game with more levels and a couple of new mechanics (like choosing what to show at some point or some travelings or something like this), good luck with it!

WOW. Great job! Would love to have sound give some kind of indication of how well you're doing. Maybe the director could yell at you if you're doing the wrong thing? Also, a replay showing your movies at the end would really make the experience complete.

Very clever! I played it through twice just to see how the endings would be different for the last sentence in the newspaper. I would have loved an extra moment to read what the first instruction ones before the scene began - it was usually the most stressful.

I really like this game. Love the idea of filming a scene and getting cues. Sometimes I felt that I was performing the task and still failed. Seemed the fail conditions were pretty strict and the cues were maybe to ambiguous for the strict nature of the fail condition? Either way, one of my favorites so far!

SnoringFrog
02. Jan 2014 · 06:40 UTC
Very interesting idea! There were a few moments where I was sure I got the correct shot, but it still said I failed them. However, my zoom work was weird (no mouse, so I had to use a trackpad that has poor scrolling; a keyboard alternative for zooming would have been nice) so that might've led to some failures when I thought I had decent shots. Either way, I really liked the game.

I was really looking forward to playing this! (So glad I finally got around to it :P) It was just as fun as I expected it to be, and I really love the mechanic and idea around it. I sort of agree with others in that it is loosely based off of the theme since you're taking multiple shots (but yes, one chance per criteria!), but I still loved it a lot either way. It was wonderful! Great work!
Sim
06. Jan 2014 · 22:48 UTC
Best choice of theme I've seen so far, and the execution was just as good as it looked. A few of the criteria I just couldn't get right (especially showing the zebra crossing - do I show just the edge or the whole thing?). I think the game's taught me that I'm not cut out to be a cameraman!

fantastic! i would happily pay money for a game like this. the gameplay felt fresh and intuitive, AND i had the urge to play through it multiple times to perfect each scene.

my only gripe is the lack of sound effects. some camera shutter FX would have added to the overall atmosphere.
csanyk
12. Jan 2014 · 00:56 UTC
Incredibly fun. Great, original concept for a game. I've never played anything like this. I couldn't play the game well at all using a trackpad, but with a proper mouse and scroll wheel this would be a lot of fun. One thing that I would have really liked was the director's instructions to be audible, so that I had a better understanding of when the cues were coming up for the next shot. Reading them off to the side was not as intuitive for me. Great job overall!
