Did you really do all these things in 44h?! (Its 4h Unitl the end of the Jam) Amazing!
@bloham I did the development on twitch and there is history on GitHub as proof :laughing: Although I thought I would be able to do more actually
@liammasters thanks :smile: yea, I know about this issue but I did not come up with a good solution
Gameplay is simple but works well for the 2d style.
love the character customizer.
How does it run in browser on https://kuviman.github.io/ludumdare48/ tho???? Can you explain that for a noob like me? What is this magic?
Love the fact that you have implemented multiplayer
Love the sound track and effects
Love this freaking game
Any good tips on where to start when wanting to develope a game with Rust? Curious if you have any link you've found useful.
Otherwise I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the game. I don't really know how to put this to words, but the music and art style really made this game's heart shine - it felt very genuine, like it was made by someone who was just here to have a really nice time.
@airwaffle I am using my own engine thats pretty raw, but if you want to develop a game in Rust I would guess Bevy engine is the most known thing currently - https://bevyengine.org/
@jason-wilson its just a sandbox so the goal is to just chill :slight_smile: You can also try to be the richest person, but I know there is not a lot gameplay-wise
And @everyone else too, thanks for kind words!
I'm not sure on which category, but this definitely deserves a reward!
"sure, just give me 72 hours"
incredible job !
I couldn't figure out how to get back to the surface once I had dug really deep though! The thought of placing blocks to do it seemed like it would take forever! Maybe some elevators? (Unless I'm missing something!!)
Again, really impressive and full of potential. Well done!
Nice job!
Great result!
PS: On the surface on the right, a message is left for
I think it would have been nice to have more interactable elements to fool around with. Also, after I fell off the bottom I didn't know how to reset.
The graphics are simple but get the job done. It would have been nice to have some extra "game feel" bits like particle effects or breaking/placing animations for blocks. The audio is a short loop, but managed to not get old very quickly (I played for over an hour, so by the end it was maybe a little tiring).
It might have been nice to have inventories or other ways to improve efficiency when mining, or have multiple stations where you could craft and sell. By the time I played, most of the material had been mined near the shops, so it was more difficult to collect. I imagine this will get worse and worse over time, but probably isn't the end of the world for something the scale of an LD game.
I got a score of 2497! It was a little bit higher than that before I built a ton of ladder to make a floating LD48.
Well done for a Compo entry! Had a blast.

Needless to say, we all had a blast with this one. :smile: I'm glad we could get so many people playing at once! The character customizer was a really nice touch, and I love how players were able to create some pretty neat secret areas with the mechanics. This is some seriously impressive work!
I enjoyed the chill and silly mood of the game. It's very simple, but the multiplayer (with even character customization!) makes it really fun. Well done!
So I gave it another try during one of my stream. Here is a link to the correct place in the video: https://www.youtube.be/watch?v=Sx1MQ445u7k&t=8958s
We were just two playing together but we had fun. Your game is really impressive for a ludum dare, multiplayer game always amaze me. Congratulation
This types of games is really cool because they don’t just offer you gameplay, they offer an experience!
Anyways, this was really fun! I didn't really make anything fun like the person who wrote "HI" and "42", but I did made a staircase to get you back up from right above the bottomless pit, I closed up the bottomless pit, and I started making a ladder system so you don't have to take the staircase that took me about 5 minutes to make, the world got so deep. Might head on back there and make more ladder systems, whoever dug straight down the the bottom of the world didn't make any way to get back up (resulting in me spending 5 minutes making a staircase back up to the giant ladder someone built).
Oh yeah and I made a terrible-looking arrow too. There's a ladder pretty far away from spawn point so I indicated how to get back.
