The Experience

I don't usually participate in game jams, as i normally prefer to work on bigger projects, but i decided to give it a try and I liked it! Worked with a team, was responsible for half of the 3D art. I really like how the final game turned out.

The game

It is a first person shooter game called "Lost Signal: Network Warfare" and is about a special soldier sent to a planet taken over by aliens to restore local infrastructure. Core of the gameplay revolves around weapons, that need to be in range of certain signals in order to function. The game has some elements of tower defense. You are provided traps, and special signal extenders to place around. So, as a player you walk around activate signal towers, shoot some aliens, and overall it's a lot of fun!

The Bug

Initial upload of our game contained a pretty nasty bug, that caused items to be placed multiple times, sometimes leading the total amount of items in inventory to go below zero. You could pick them back up, but they were overlapping, so this "workaround" was not very obvious to the players. In our game you can place special towers that extend signal that is required for your weapons to operate, so placing mechanic is somewhat crucial to our game.

The Fix

Luckily two days ago we have uploaded a patch addressing the issue. And on top of that we added downloadable builds for windows and linux beside the embedded web version.

Give it a try!
