LudumData

Timeless spacestation by ScaPixel

[raw]
made by ScaPixel for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

This game was made during the course of the 72-hour jam. We sadly didn't get to implement the game lose/win condition, but this was a fun experience nonetheless. Went considerably better than last time, and for all I know this might be developed further down the line. First time doing anything 3D, and the challenges we faced certainly reflect the lack of experience in the 3rd dimension.

Controls: WASD: Move E: Interact Space: Jump Mouse: Move camera

PS: The light on the locked door will turn green once unlocked. If you re-lock the door, however, it doesn't turn red again, so you might need to interact with the control panel again if it doesn't open

There wasn't much of a game to play, the environment was great, rooms were clean and bright, space background was nice, music was soothing, I just didn't experience any form of real objective.
Issues I experienced were that the UI didn't scale with resolution, and when picking up an object the physics would interact with the player allowing you to noclip through the map xD https://i.imgur.com/RJmtCnm.mp4

@peytonbrown Thanks for the feedback. Definitely agree with your assertions on game objective and resolution scaling. The physics interaction might be a quick fix. The other issues we sadly ran out of time to really consider implementing, and probably prioritized too low. Again thanks for the feedback.

I don't understand what I need to do :D But I think the idea is greate. If there was more time you did the good game. I hope it was good experience for your team. I really like the environment.

Though unfinished as stated, the mood is good and it's clear what you were trying to achieve. Nice to see Godot in action too.

The game jam dead line is inevitable unfortunately so feels unfinished but I liked the atmosphere and the music really lent itself to this. The player movement felt smooth and responsive. :)

I was not sure where to go as the door button colours between a locked door and a lift that needs to be called are too similar.

Was stuck in the control room and didn't manage to go futher (green door didn't open so I just throw every box out :p ). Nice first 3D environment but as say before not much to play. What was the blue bar for, oxygen? Don't forget to use the LD page to put some information about how to play if you don't have time to put it in game (we use this every time XD). However nice work and keep coding !

@arktas Thanks for the review. I have updated the page to now include controls. We sadly didn't have time to make the light go red again if you lock the door after it has been unlocked, so that might be why you were stuck. Would only have required you to press the control panel again to unlock. It is very unclear, so you are very much excused. I am considering doing a small update to account for that, though I am very busy this week so I don't know if I can find the time.

The environment and mood were very nice to explore, and the controls felt pretty smooth.

Despite the lack of functionality, I did like the overall ambience of the space station. It felt to me kind of like an abstracted space in which I was kind of like an unwanted visitor. Cool stuff for what you have, be proud of how well it works for making it in so little time :)

EDIT: Just found out you can fly out of the level by dragging a cube under you. If you can (never used Godot so idk) I think making it so that held objects don't collide with the player would solve the issue.

@nobongo Thanks a lot for the review. This week has been very busy, a game jam has this tendency to take time away from other obligations. So we haven't been able to upload an updated version, though the physics issue is resolved at least in part. Might upload it later, along with a web version if things go to plan.

Pretty good game, the controls and music is smooth, Also did you program the lights to close and open or is it a glitch (cause I have had a problem like this before)

Congratulations on your first game in 3D! I hope one day to be able to do my first one too :)

@necdilzor I am sure you will one day. If you are worried about complexity I wouldn't. There are surprisingly few differences between 2D and 3D. Thanks for the review and comment
