DR. MADDOC Takes Over The World and Kills 3D Forever by jsmars

[raw]
made by jsmars for LD25 (COMPO)
Become the Mad Scientist Dr.Maddoc. Take over the world and destroy 3D games forever! Enjoy this sneaking game!

First time I used Ogmo editor and made 2D lighting and shadows, so it was a fun challange!

Been very stressed up until the end! Will be coming out a jam version with everything a bit more polished soon! Should be better graphics, better AI, more maps and story!

Timelapse coming soon! Need a shower and some rest after this 35ish hours of coding

Cheers all! Please comment and rate! :D


### HOW TO PLAY ###
Use arrow keys to move around, space to go to next dialog, collect all chests on each level before going to the exit (marked by a ghost, usually back where you started)

There is a known bug where you miss a level at random, so if the story doesn't make sense, try another playthrough :)

Sweet game! Cool lighting, graphics and fun story. Sure makes me want to uninstall all these crappy 3D games.. ALL HAIL NES!

Really nice mood to this, I liked the graphics and the idea behind it. I got stuck quite early on though, a walkthough would be cool. Had fun finding all the references. Also +1 filmgrain point. Games need more filmgrain.

I like it. Although the light seems to glitch at a few occasions, especially lights other than the player's (e.g. shadows in the very first room or lights in other rooms). Some guards seem to just stop with some beeping alert sound, but nothing happens?

If you get caught in light too long, you get caught, sadly there the AI stops slightly to early sometimes which makes it easy to avoid them. Will be working on a version with more challanging AI :)

Great job on the graphics. Would've been nice if the dialogues moved a bit quicker.

Very funny!!! The stealth gameplay is great and the lights are very impressive, I wish L4D2 could have lights like that xD

Neat! I'm waiting for Valve to rip this lights off in L4D3 :) Moar games like this and the evil plan of destroying 3d will succeed!

Plenty of mood here. It's more like a short story than a game. That's both a strength and a weakness.

This made my day. Couldn't stop laughing. Love how everything has a (mostly funny) description. Made me explore everything. I also enjoyed the graphics a lot. I made a somewhat similar game in the sense of sneaking around. Well done!

Very nice visuals. I also liked the background story and the descriptions very much. I didn't get, why ghosts are guarding the exits, though :)

One of my favourite entries so far, nice job. But please make the pickup sound (coin) a bit softer or at least lower the treble.

I love this game. The first bit is a masterpiece. The rest is awesome. The bank robbery scene felt like you were parodying other games. Amazing work. :D

Wow, that's a lot of visually impressive asset work for 48 hours. Fantastic job.
