Drunken Soviet by Neferius

[raw]
made by Neferius for LD 40 (JAM)

The more you drink the worse you'll feel. But that's the only way to get back health. Shoot enemies, drink vodka to regain health and eat cucumbers to make the effects of alcohol weaker.

GOAL: Go through the secret military base, get through all the doors and kill the boss at the end. There is even a maze with no walls. What can go wrong, right?

CONTROLS: - R for reload - WASD for movement - LMB to shoot - V to attack with a knife (Yes, we know, the animation of this is terrible...) - E on door to open it - hold H to show help screen - ESC to pause game and control volume

Can't pass through the first door. Tried to shoot green circle, to press "E", just to walk through it. Nothing helps.

@interpol you have to press "e" on the door :D green circle means, the door is unlocked :D

Ah, now I see. A very hard game, lol. I've got nausea playing few minutes under vodka. It is a very stroooong beverage. This is really "The more you have, the worse it is". Don't know how many bottles I've drunk, but it became so blurry and trembling, that I died from a single enemy with full hp...

Good game. But it should have some tutorial with controls, it's a bit confusing. And crates should have less hp. It's not a good tradeoff to shoot almost half of the clip to get ... half.

Nice, Komrad, nice.

Fun game, that infinitly respawning vodka platforming bit was evil though.

Got so drunk I shot the pallets thinking they were western spies. 10/10 would waste ammo again.

Game is interesting, but literally unplayable in window due to one thing - the mouse cursor is not focused on window and can get out (which is super annoying).

The drunk effect was epic though, and yes I had screen so blurred that I wonder how I was able to kill anything.

Keep up the good work!

@zgragselus if the cursor is visible double click 'esc' it's enough. but i've just made quick update and now if the game isn't paused, the cursor is always hidden :D (i think so, it'll work XD)

Good use of the theme. It was quite difficult to play without feeling nauseous. Well done for a first finished project.

Best use of the theme I have seen so far ! Too bad I haven't brought my mouse with me... (track pad is definitelly not for FPS...)

That's a funniest game I've played in this LD so far! Couldn't finish it though, it's pretty hard to fight completely drunk but I had a lot of fun!

Yeah, definitely we have to make the game easier :D

Escape fom Castle Drunkenstein !

Oh boy what an experience that was XD as a fan of the oldschool fps i really had a blast, this was so funny, but also so freaking hard when you get near max level drunk :o

I really enjoyed the game though, i liked the way ammo was sored, and the fact that you had a quick melee at all times akin to more modern fps mechanics.

no really sure what to add more, i personally didn't find that many negative points, it's a fun simple game.

well done guys :)

Thanks for asking me to play your game, it was a pleasure : I died a first time so I decided to give it another try, but I died again at the same point ^^
The mechanics are interesting, but I have the feeling that cucumbers don't entirely remove the drunk effect, or even than you can recover your drunk effect after some times...
As a FPS lover, I can confirm that the controls were smooth as I like. Graphics and musics are really entertaining ! Keep it like this ;)

@number6406 cucumbers remove negative effect of 3 alcohol bottles instantly. also alcohol's effect is decreasing with time :D thanks for playing :D

Why would you reduce your tipsiness? it is amazing :D except it made me feel very dizzy and I had to stop playing it because I feel like I should get one cucumber myself right now :D :D

Great job developer, it was a pleasure playing this game :D

Fun game, when I drank too much it made me a little motion sick (which it was probably going for). The very first room, people were shooting me through the door after it had closed.

Hilarious entry! I loved going in and drinking all the liquor and just watch my player go to shit! I'll have to play this again when I am not on my track pad.

@stadoblech OMG, i think you're one of the first person, who said "more vodka" XDDD
lthought, it can be dropped with crates, barrels and enemies

Felt a bit dizzy due to all the camera movement. But was fun playing.

I liked how the UI elements were part of the world. A music was hilarious.
Great game

I actually felt a bit sick after playing too with the camera movement! But that's not to say it's a negative, if anything it was that immersive!! Really well executed. Had the old school 3d FPS feel to it, with no jumping etc. The effects when drinking were good and noticible as you played. Shame I didn't have time to get to the boss whilst playing on stream... I got taken down :(

Really nice oldschool FPS, reminds me Wolfenstein 3D/Redneck Rampage. I need to clean the blood in my eyes now ... Cheeki/Breeki
Update : I think the game run differently on 2560x1440 because your pictures are sharper than me: the game is really pixelized when I played it.

Played a little bit - nostalgia with textures!

Unfortunately unity player was causing me problems with 'sticky keys' - main character walks without me pressing anything :(

Why no web-build?

@Bartosz this wasn't a problem, just drunken effect :D the more you drink, the stronger will be the effect. eat cucumbers to reduce it.

there is no web build because it didn't work properly
Bartosz
08. Dec 2017 · 10:07 UTC
@jadw1 - nah - it's Unity default input manager messing up - it happened from start without taking any vodka :)

Character walks forward and left without touching keyboard.

Idea is awesome though :)
Bartosz
08. Dec 2017 · 19:55 UTC
@jadw1 - i found out the issue - i had space-mouse (3d connection space mouse pro) drivers installed and unity was taking this as main input (sic!) - after removing those drivers all works great!
Bartosz
08. Dec 2017 · 20:02 UTC
Omg it's like in real life!
If you drink too much vodka it causes you to drink more even if you know you shouldn't!
Also there is always not enough cucumbers!

Nausia should go away with time maybe?

I love this game!
Jadw1
08. Dec 2017 · 20:39 UTC
@bartosz yeah, i thought about reducing the effects with time

Thanks for all :D

My drunk self is pretty much just me but really dizzy so this game is unfortunately relatable.

This is my favorite game of LD40 so far, and honestly it's going to take a doozy to knock it off. Not only is the usage of the theme incredible---besides being terribly funny, it does make it real painful to heal up, and therefore makes you want to avoid getting hurt in the first place---the whole game is just long! Most Ludum Dare games are playable in 5-10 minutes; I was definitely playing this for at least 20 minutes. Really good job with the engine too--how was the experience of building a DOOM/Wolfenstein-style shooter in Unity?

Amazing work.

Also f*ck you I got through the maze on my first try lol

Hello, I played it for a good 15 minutes

* The level design was really good! I had to backtrack once because I ran out of ammo but there was enough to allow me to progress further. But later in the game I had more than plenty, so ammo reservation became a non issue.

* The soundtrack and sfx were quite nice.

* The intoxication effect is really awesome, it captures the state quite well and although it doesn't provide much discomfort it did make me feel a bit dizzy after a while.

* I didn't know what the green item was until I noticed its effect late into the game.
* I loved the Wolfenstein-esque graphics, really captured that aesthetic style brilliantly well.

* There were often cases where I didn't want to drink more, it would be better to always pickup but a key to use the item.


Overall I really enjoyed the game! I absolutely love the way it interprets the theme! Well done :clap:
