Title: 0-Skies
Based on the Theme: Start with nothing [LD45]
1 minute of sheer joy.
(title meaning/reason/message delivery: a protagonist starts from 0 and flies off to the skies)
Objective: Assemble your Plane whilst en route runway to fly and aim for the finishing checkpoint!
How to Access?
Windows EXE Downloadable: https://www.dropbox.com/s/of45v40ukitb5li/0-Skies.zip?dl=0
For people skeptical about downloads, I've deployed WebGL and published on itch.io so they can play via this link: https://karanveer.itch.io/0-skies
Game Created for resolution: 1920x1080
Assets: All Assets are created by me from scratch, except the modular "road tile prefabs" & and the final "landing spot" that's mid air, by Kenney Assets(https://kenney.nl/assets/3d-road-tiles && https://www.kenney.nl/assets/space-kit).. I started falling a bit behind schedule, i used it minimally though: 3-5 prefabs and repeated them to create track, and one asset from spacekit, that's all. Rest is all me, even for the sound i used my scooter and phone to record.
BTS Experience: This is my first LD participation. Started off to finish in Compo, but extended to Jam. Tried to make a minimal game play duration but with slight intensity, keeping it easy and simpler than complicating and achieving boredom sooner than expected. This was the result.
Looking forward to critiques, if any. Hope to learn more, and do more.
It was a good experience for me overall, despite the end product.
2 hours and 16 minutes still remaining but I've had a good time past 3 days.

The camera and the collisions can make it hard to finish on the first run, but I really enjoyed it, good job :)
Nice entry!
Yes, before it was a single holder camera. Then i decided to make it a bit dynamic ;) . Glad you enjoyed!
again anyhow!
Yes this is my first LD. Actually i always feared entering 3D world for years now and now slowly slowly im adapting to it and im finding it hard to go back to non 3D world, so i just went for it.
About multiple paths and different ways of creation. yes i do have plans for that!
most of my time went into SFX, as My scooter wouldnt start as its already cold here and i wanted to record that SFX for my propeller...so last minute switch from COMPO to JAM.
I played your game long before this comment and...kinda became challenging after a while, but amazing work! The voice acting part is what I LOVED THE MOST! :D
Thanks overall! Much appreciated, im planning to do more of this, feel free to follow/connect with me on here... :)
@joshua-young Thanks man, i tried to implement without the timer at first but since i wanted the player to experience some challenge i just went for countdown.
@pedro-rosa Yes, just remain on the road and while you approach turns, just press the s button to slow down and take your turns, this will increase your steering factor as well, so easier to control! :D Thanks for playing
@hkspadez thanks! :)
I failed a lot the first turn and the camera movement don't show every time the path to follow.
Congratulation to you !!! :v:
A slow and smooth sound in the background could also improve the gameplay. :)
@whomakeworse Thanks i mean yes the camera was static at first but i made the changes to add some challenge to the user while he remains persistent. :D THanks for playing!
@orpartlu yes i am planning to make it into a commercialized game, stay updated. Twitter or Insta?
@crispypin i understand your concern, but i might add an option for a fixed angle later down the road. Thanks for stopping by and i loved your honest direct approach!:D
@crazyhomeboys yes i know that i will rectify it post jam dont worry! ALso, the borders are kinda friction full, just remain on the tar side of the road, ie, the middle..despite that there might be some collisions bugs ill fix that soon! :D
It was nice to play, but (yup) as other said, the camera was sometime annoying, as I couldn't really see where I should go next. And for the falling off track, i think you can only fall off in the first line ? In fact, I'm pretty glad it's the case because I would have needed way more try that 10 to end this game otherwise :3
Anyway, GG and I'm glad you had fun for your first LD :)
@jk5000 oh okay ill keep that in mind and optimize next time! :)
@iak oh damn, thanks for pointing out. Yes thanks for the congrats!
@paulsams fly out of the road? okay ill give it a try. Oh not screw, that's propeller's nose :P
@jin9310 Thanks man. :)
@coffeedrinkers Yes indeed.
Thanks guys for such lovely comments. :)
@ancient-pixel oh okay, thanks for letting me know!
@toxiccomputer thanks, first try, gonna get better with time i hope.
@alphaden sorry about that, maybe because res is 1920x1080?
@ferdi its a guy and not guys lol, and thanks.
Ond the other side the graphics are astonishing for a game made in a jam, specially a first entry from a single developer. The sound also seems good and the game design felt nice.
I guess the problem is my lack of ability.
Good job!
