Damn this is awesome. Be sure to let us know when you're free for more work, I would happily start a new project just to have your art all up inside it.  Evil

For the hand-drawn FX, are you outputting them to a texture sheet and using an animated texture in Unity?

Cool thanks, I'm at work so it's tough to search for that stuff until I get home (typing on my phone atm). I'll give it a try with future WIP builds of the game.

Eh, it's not that big a deal to me. I'm really happy with the output and I can't wait to expand on it, which is more important to me than number of plays.

I also have no idea how to actually get it up onto my website. Is there a quick reference for that? I haven't done any web/server stuff before, which is the more daunting part of the process for me.

I wish I had done a browser version, but it was mainly due to my lack of experience with that format. I've never made a browser build before, and there were several things I'm using in the game (such as the full-screen image effects) that I wasn't sure would work seamlessly in-browser like they do in the standalone version. I won't make that mistake in future jams though, of course.

personal favs: timescale and receiver.

Hey, thanks! I feel like timescale has gone mostly unnoticed, which I chalk up to the gameplay being fairly traditional and the high-concept not being as off-the-wall as others. So I get excited when someone has played and enjoyed it!  Kiss

I just updated the game to Version 1.11. Changes are:
* Players bullet speed and rate of fire have been increased when in slowmo
* Removed the power up that essentially does the same thing and replaced it with a bomb.
Let me know what you think!

Added a link to gameplay video in the first post.

Good idea, I'll add a retry option. I usually score in the 300's, I intended it to be played in shorter sessions, but I could lengthen it if people think it's over too quickly.

Also if you haven't noticed, the sky turns faintly red if you are about to get attacked.

Thanks for letting me know about the link, they had to switch hosting and it got borked. Should work now.

I actually had a bomb at one point, but removed it because I wanted to keep the number of power ups to 3. Could be cool as a super power up of some sort. I'll check out Geometry Wars again (haven't played it in forever), I can see the similarities between the two so it'd be good research.

I plan on adding something like surfing, there will be a power up the lets the player move and fire normally in slowmo. I got the firing to work (which is what one of the power ups currently is), but I couldn't get moving to work correctly in time. I always liked Zhang He's ice-skating type movement in Dynasty Warriors, I could have the movement in slowmo work something like that.

Just updated to version 1.1. A bar has been added above the items to control how long you can stay in slowmo. It'll refresh as you move around. Probably needs some tuning still, but I wanted to at least get it out quick.

because i can make three steps, look around and shoot everyone safely, repeat till everyone's dead

I'm thinking of changing it to where you have a limited amount of slowing ability, it automatically activates when you stop, and only refills when you move. Should solve that.

add: crosshair, challenge, sounds made by enemies

-SFX are definitely in the top of my list, just didn't have time for the challenge
-Giving me info on why it wasn't challenging to you would be more useful. I'm already planning on more enemy types and more interesting maps though.
-I purposefully omitted the crosshair. I wanted to push the player toward a "spray and pray" mentality, and add more uncertainty during tense situations. I'm not 100% committed to that though, so we'll see what happens...

Just wrapped up my entry for 7 day FPS challenge. I'm looking to get some feedback before I decide what I want to add/remove/change first.

TIMESCALE - Updated to Ver 1.11

Done! (I hope): TIMESCALE



356  Community / Competitions / Re: 7DFPS on: June 14, 2012, 07:41:46 PM
Pretty much done at this point, just going to revisit the difficulty curve tomorrow after I've been away from it for a bit. Looking forward to adding a bunch more enemy types later on.

Woo finished game over flow, fixed the bug, and saving/loading of scores. More than I thought I'd get to! Should be plenty of time left for tuning and making levels.
358  Community / Competitions / Re: 7DFPS on: June 13, 2012, 07:51:52 AM
Yesterday I completed the main menu to game flow, got half way done with the game over flow, and tied up a bunch of loose ends. My remaining to do list is:
-finish game over flow
-score saving/loading (local only for now)
-fix one particular hairy bug
-finish difficulty tuning
-create 2-3 more levels

I have several more lower priority (polish type) items but I doubt I'll get to them in time.

Added a simple bot that plays the game behind the main menu.
