LudumData

NUCLEAR by backflipppp

[raw]
made by backflipppp for LD28 (JAM)
Hello my Name is Tom Rumpf, im 17 year old and this was my first Ludum Dare and i created this game with Unity3d, blender and photoshop. Its set right after a Nuclear Explosion and the Player needs to try escape with a van and survive the disaster.
You use the flashlight with your left MouseButton, and you can end the game at all time with "Esc", everything else is explained.
I know the level is a bit short, but its all i had time for, i hope u enjoy playing :)
I hope to see everyone at the next Ludum Dare, and also hope that i will find someone to team up with for the next one.
im a 3d artist and really bad at programming and didnt have enough, so there might happen some errors in the game haha :)

LITTLE TIP FOR EVERYONE WHEN U ARE OUTSIDE, DONT GET TO CLOSE TO THE MONSTERS, OR THEYLL TRY GET AND EAT YOU! (Hint: try walking a bit on the left but still towards the smoke, the monsters are standing after that small building)

Your game is quite big in size, I don't think lots of people will download it. Just saying:) You might want to make it smaller. I liked this game, it was very athmospheric. The 'putting on masker' animation was cool. At some point however I felt through the ground, beneath the surface :( The game itself had a very good/dramatic feel to it due to the sounds and music. Which is definitely the best part in this game!

Why won't you make a web version? It's on unity anyway!)

Pretty tough to play. But it's well stuffed with vegetation and the predators are pretty nice to look at.

I opened it up and the first scene looked pretty! Unfortunately, it ran pretty choppily on my laptop (Asus K50IJ, dual-core 2GHZ with onboard graphics and 3GB ram) so I couldn't really play it :(

Very nice and atmospheric. It's very hard to play the game in windowed more because you didn't lock the cursor.

if the game runs choppily try setting the graphics to fast :)

This was very nice and big too, I liked to explore this wonderful world and it was done so well.

Interesting game and nice mood. A lot of potential here and a good jam. Well done

Atmospheric, although I think it's way too dark. Good choices for music and sound!

I tried it about 3 - 4 times (eventually played in "Fast" rendering mode without the shadows). I still don't know what devoured me in the forest. Not sure what the use of the mask is, seems I could breath fine outside. I probably just didn't get far enough, oh well!
Nice dramatic feel to it though, that's for sure.

Nice entry! 3D was pretty impressive, however i found the sheer abundance of things a little overwhelming.
The gas mask was a little obtrusive, and i couldn't see as much of the screen as i would have liked.
Didn't see the monster coming and got eaten :P

I liked the mood. I didn't know what to do when the flashlight went out, so I tried to just move faster next time, but then I just got eaten by a predator. It's very hard to see with the flashlight anyway through that mask. The light doesn't seem to cast far ahead of you.

Nice atmosphere, astonishing graphics and good choice of audio. I liked the mask, you can't see properly with one on (I suppose). I got eaten by something...

Very good effort! But, I had to turn down my mouse sensitivity because the camera was out of control. Also I tried several times, but couldn't get past the fallen barrels. But excellent environment, mood, theme, and sound!

Really nice 3D graphics, but does it have to be so dark ? I hardly was able to play :(

Great art, but very buggy (at least on my computer). I could clip through all sorts of things and see unrendered back-edges.

As much as I want to play this game, this game is very buggy to me, I hope to see it finished as it looks decent :)

Very atmospheric. The mask made it insanely difficult to see what was going on. I didn't see the monsters before they ate me. The atmosphere though, was absolutely awesome! Some tweaking to the mask visibility and flashlight mechanic would really carry this far! I hope you keep working on it. :)

Hm, this is a tough entry to judge. Clearly, gameplay could use more work (it's possible to get stuck in places, where ideally you should simply die; game tells you to search some destroyed building, when there are actually four of them around, and the building you need is nearly impossible to spot). But the atmosphere is good and environment is nice as well. Was the team a bit bigger, this could become a really nicely done survival game.

Could you create a linux executable?
