IT KEPT ME ALIVE by Dylan Dugan

[raw]
made by Dylan Dugan for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

This game takes place in a forest when a small family decides to go on a hiking trip. They find a lost dog and decide to set up camp where they found the dog. What happens next is for you to find out!

This game was made entirely in the Blender Game Engine. YOU DON’T NEED BLENDER OR ANYTHING TO RUN THE GAME. If for some reason you can’t open the app then follow the steps below.

You will need Blender 2.79 ONLY to run this. I also think it can run as an app by itself. It should run for Windows, Mac and Linux. If the app won't open then download blender2.79 and run it. It should just run as an app itself. Open the zip file Drag the app to your computer desktop Open the app and play!

Not sure how to run this game? It looks like a zip archive with no obvious executable.

Could you maybe explain, how to run it? In both of the downloads there only is a "Contents" folder and nothing to run... Thanks in advance!

@bassguitarbill I think it's the .blend file. You need blender to open it.

It looks like a macOS build. Maybe you should upload a windows or web build.

Wow, you made this in blender game engine. Congratulations! That is no easy feat, Unfortunately, I am not a mac user so I could not play it.

You need Blender installed to play the game. I needed a few minutes to launch the game.

The game is really hard. The controls are too much sensitive (and my Y-axis in inverted, don't know how to re-invert it). And why my vision seems to be zoomed ? It's hard to manage the character.

But the game is funny and doing that on Blender is well done.

Couldn't get it running. Maybe that's, because I have Blender installed myself.

You might need Blender 2.79 to run it. Newer versions of Blender cannot run it since they don't have a game engine in them. I thought that it would just run as an app for some reason. It might?

I actually managed to get it to work after a few attempts and I have got to say that just for the very fact that you managed to make the game in blender I am very impressed.
The game itself looks pretty cool and was an interesting experience to play

Oke honest question.
Why did you code something you'd need a very specific program to even play it to begin with?

You don’t need anything to run it. It opens as an app.

I have Blender and got it to start, but mouselook controls were inverted and my player got stuck and there was no direction for what to do in game. Please do update it, hopefully make an Executable for Windows, and I'd be glad to give it another shot.

Linux user here. I got it to run as well, after installing Blender 2.79 and specifically starting the .blend file with the blenderplayer. I had the same issues as Beard or Die.
Now look, I love blender as much as the next guy. Hell, I even compile the latest version myself almost daily.
But the blender game engine was scrapped for a reason. Maybe try a different game engine next time.
If you still want to make the whole game in blender take a look at armory3d (never tried it, but looks promising), which I think acts like an addon for blender and take a look at UPBGE, which is based on the old blender game engine.
Other than that maybe try Godot, which is also open source.
Seemed like it could be a cool game though =)
