Petit Monstre by LeoM
This is a small game about a boy playing in his room.
For play, just click one on the screen and everything should follow.
Voices are records of my nephew Gabriel and my sister, thanks to them. I wasn't present for the records, so he was very free and relaxed on what he was saying, some elements have been designed just to stick to his records. ;)
They are in French but their is English subtitles for those who doesn't understand a six year old child roaring in French. ;)
I just started learn how use the unreal engine this week, so I keep the gameplay very simple, with not a lot of elements to be able to finish the game on time and refine as much I could.
Exports are for Windows, Linux and Mac.
Thank to dydx for building the mac package [ http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-33/?action=preview&uid=38961 ]
For Linux you need to go PetitMonste=>Dino=>Binaries=>Linux and run the "Dino" file as an executable. It's may launch. Maybe you will need to do this
"On Linux, if you can't lauch the executable (Dino), that's likely because you have to be in super-user mode.
Open a terminal go in super-user mode (su/sudo) and make a : chmod +r+o+x Dino, this will allow your current user to launch the Dino file. "
and Thanks Nomis_Tempar for this help too. [ http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-33/?action=preview&uid=44631 ]
Hope you will like play it as much as I liked to make it.
Post compo projects :
- A start and end menu ! (I try to make one but it broke all my interface 2h before the dead line, so I stopped for tonight)
- A speed run version with timer. It's probably one of the shortest games on the ludum dare, why not makes runs on it ? ^^ (It's possible to finish it in less than 5s)
Post-post-compo :
- A girl version, with new voice, others sentences, room, objects etc...
- Some animations for the legs (less static) and maybe the hand too (squeeze a bit the doll sometime maybe)
- A third person version, where we play the dino without the hand, free of his moves ! :p
Source files from UE4 project are also online, before a cleaner package consider this as under a CC-by-sa-nc license, so for personal use and study only. (I don't want to hear my nephew on a sound bank)

I'm working on the Linux version right now.
It's like the same game, but with acid ! (I upload a screen)
For Linux you have to start the "Dino" file as executable, you can find it on PetitMonste=>Dino=>Binaries=>Linux (easy !)
And as on all the version, it's still slow but ok ! ;)
Open a terminal go in super-user mode (su/sudo) and make a : chmod +r+o+x Dino, this will allow your current user to launch the Dino file.
For the game being very simple it's a choice, as I said, I started play with the unreal engine just 4 days before Ludum Dare. Already make the dino move as a wanted and setting up all the sounds with good hit box and subtitles was already a big challenges for me. So a prefer to keep just a few elements and make them as good as I could rather than add some draft features.
I'm pretty proud of myself ! And thanks again for all your encouraging comments! :)
"bien joué"
I'd only suggest adding some way to turn down the graphics quality... it seems the gpu requirements are too high for many people.
I think that would be allowed under the "porting" rules, so you don't have to wait til the post-compo version.
The audio in french, with the subtitles add something very special in the game.
And the whole experience reminds me a lot about my childhood. :3 Now I want some blocks to play here! XD
My PC is a bit slow and my GFX card isn't the best one, but it was a nice play, really! :D
Congrats!
If you add a timer, try adding some kind of challenge as well for it to be relevant.
I love it!!
The game is awesome and unespected!!!
The ending is...excellent. ;)
Excellent atmosphere.
