Mining Game by DugelStudios

[raw]
made by DugelStudios for LD34 (JAM)
*UPDATE* this wad earlier a compo entry, but I changed it to a jam entry because the next day I had to fix a few bugs, aswell as ad a few more features. Also the previous builds werent working, but now i switched to WebGL so it should work now.

Fight enemys and mine resources to gain money and upgrade your equipment.

This is an incomplete game. I did not have much time this weekend, so I couldnt finish the game. I play to finish this game in the future. I will complete the game in a day or two and upload the finished product here, so come back soon! (if i do that, i will opt out of all the categories because we aare only suppoes to have 48 hours)

I never got around to implementing the theme. (I was going to make the player use their money to build a mining drill, therefore 'growing' your mining drill throughout the game.)

What the game is missing:
-ending. (boss)
-balanced economy, health, damage, and spawn rates.
-polishe
-animations
-fix shop glitch
-camera clamping.
-Hull was never implemented.
-you have to refresh to restart
-much much much more that im too lazy to think of.

What you can do now:
-Increased health by 1000% (because I havent implemented health packs yet)
-you can mine ores and upgrade weapons, health, hull, and mine speed.
-kill enemys.
-discover new ores
-get money$$$
-upgrade equipment
-explore the procedurally generated environment.
-watch in amazement as blocks auto orientate themselves
-enjoy the awful programmer art.
-Did all the way down to discover the rare crystallite ore

*FAQ*
Q. controls?
A. WASD for movement, mine with left click, attack with right click

Q. why is there a minecraft sword?
A. I didnt download the texture or anything, I made it myself. When your making a sword at 16x16 resolution, theres only so many ways you can make a basic sword in that resolution. Therefore, differentiation between any two wont be very significant, which is why the sword looks almost identical to a minecraft sword.

Q. The shop does not display the correct price.
A. I know. I didnt have time to fix it. Please read the disclaimer below.

*DISCLAIMER*
Im real sorry about the problems people are having with the game. If you read the description (Which you probably didnt), it is a totally imcomplete and what you are playing right now is literally a build that I made while developing (without even polishing things up for a playable demo) Im sorry that I couldnt add basic demo functionality (i.e tutorial, bugs, etc). This is just a product of my bad scope and time managment. :) Again im sorry for this, and i dont really have a good excuse why this game's stability is at the current state that it is. Also for the people saying that the game crashed when you die, I'm aware of that. What happens is that I destroy the player and then the camera has nothing to follow, which is why the game crashes. I didnt have time to add in a respawn. (just shows how bad my time management was, haha)

Hey, could rate because there was no zip bundle. I would have had to go and download each individual file. Still time to fix!

That's clearly a reskinned minecraft sword. you can't use derivative works for the compo. do another 24 hours and submit for the jam

You should bundle the exe and the data folder into a single zip file for easier downloading.

Couldn't rate as well. Put it all into a zip and then upload it. Good luck.

Didn't bother going through all the trouble to download it. Please put it all in one archive next time!

The fact that each individual file needs to be downloaded is REALLY annoying, and the game is REALLY unfinished (though that's understandable, as you said you didn't have much time this weekend.

After figuring out the controls, I found it quite good. I think there's a really good baseline to expand on here, and I'd love to play more if you decide to continue developing :D

Flying? Maybe if the character dont fly could be better.
That minecraft sword surprised me

Fun idea, reminded me of Motherlode (which is a good thing!)

Definitely noticed some bugs. An error message came up when I died. Controls were a bit cryptic. Well done, however.

Definitely needs more work, but isn't a bad start. Some things that would help if you're going to show this to more people:

1. Put the controls somewhere. Anywhere. It's frustrating getting hit by enemies and not knowing how to fight back.
2. I think enemies should not be allowed in the shop. It'd help with decision making while you're in there.
3. I died and the game crashed. Not sure if this is a one time thing or not, but something to look into.

Good job.

Interesting, but very broken. I hope you'll work on it post-ld.
