Ancient Mechanic by sn0uk

[raw]
made by sn0uk for LD36 (COMPO)
Hi, this is my game for Ludum Dare.

Hopefully you enjoy it and give me some feedback. I uploaded it 4 hours early because of time.

This game is a sandbox ancient vehicle builder, for then to work you need to have a chasis, a motor, and atleast one of the parts.

You can have fun playing around in the Q menu, or maybe experience ragdoll physics in sliw motion? Who knows? Who will ever know? Hmmm. Myseries....

To play the sandbox you need to have atleast these three components in the scene: A chasis, a motor and a seat/wheel.****

To place thrusters you need: A motor****

Controls:
Q - More Options
Space - Pause
Z - Hover over the object and press Z to delete it
+ - Make time move faster
- - Make time move slower
Right Click - Rotate
Left Click - Place

Enjoy?

Music Update! Pushed an update invluding music, It's a shortish loop but it's not bad: I don't know ANY music theory.

Couldn't figure out how to start. Would love to try again because the graphics look interesting. Could you give a small text tutorial?

Kalibrated, you need to click on things like the chasis on the right side and then click in the viewport

I have pressed all the buttons and all kinds of places on the screen and there doesn't seem to happen anything.

@JK5000 You've got to click play while you have a motor, seat or wheel, and a chasis.

It's hard to know how to play correctly at first. But after a while a manage to build my own vehicle and have some fun with the advanced options.
I would make it brighter and the main thing you should work with is finding how the player must learn to play your game.
Anyway, good job and keep working!

@DiegoCTorguet Thanks! I'll keep this in mind for next LD. I thought people would find it easy to learn, but I guess not :D

Nice! I was thinking of making a game about Leonardo Da Vinci's flying machines! But I went another route because I thought it would be to hard! I'm glad you made something similar to what I was thinking about!
A little more info on how to play in the description would be helpfull though.

Extremely ambitious, probably too much for a 48 hour long game jam, although i admire the hard work. Seriously, i do.
The game is too dark, it's very hard to see and understand what you're doing in my opinion. The mouse also really needs to be of a lighter color.
In general there is a certain lack of feedback to the player as to what is happening.
Also: typos (just kidding)

@lordvorath Thank you for the feedback, Im glad you like ghe idea, and this was technicially my first publicly released game so it means a lot for you to give such detail, I will definately make sure I cover things next jam, and as for darkness, I have a different colour vibrance to other people, and I completely forgot to testt the game without it. However there is a headlight in the props tab which you can place (incase you didnt see it!)
