Black Market by bbaf

[raw]
made by bbaf for LD 44 (JAM)

boxart3small512.png

This demo was inspired by VHS/PSX era of classical Japanese horror games.
It has 'tank controls' and fixed camera. Issues with animations are included ;D

It's short and lacking any plot details so..

NOTE! Very serious story ahead!

Try to put yourself in a role of a currency trader on the black market.
Yet another successful deal at midnight and it's time to go home.
What could go wrong ?


Controls

Keyboard : AWD - run, R.ALT - sprint, Mouse1 - shoot, ESC - restart
Gamepad (dualshock) : LS - run, Circle - sprint, Cross - shoot, L2 - restart
Gamepad (x360) : LS - run, B - sprint, A - shoot, LT - restart


4:3 aspect ration is very recommended.
Also, please don't put Very Low quality. In this case all character models get disappeared due to LODs

you should try to lower the download size, maybe audio compression? - 90 megabytes is going to turn a lot of people away

This looks all right but melee combat is inefficient and also I'm not quite sure what I'm doing.

@griddolini Thank you for the tip. I'll check what I can do with it.

@adrien-dittrick Thanks for feedback. I think it's because of SFX/Animation/Shoot desynchronization along with aiminging problems (the main character is able to deal damage only in range with his revolver).

I have uploaded hotfix which covers performance issues, plus some gameplay problems (incl. aiming, which now a bit reliable)

Playing with the keyboard feels like tank, old style :)
I really liked the mood!

No idea what's going on. :D Screenshot made me remember the PSX game "LSD: Dream Emulator" but it wasn't like that.

@pixscope, @rancoud, @fonserbc Thank you for the feedbacks!
@lakrits haha, it's funny coincidence, because half a year ago I was working on the similar game for Emulated Dreams Jam (20th anniversary tribute to LSD:Dream Emulator)

Loved the old VHS overlay, and the clunky controls reminiscent of that era. Good job :).
