Oooh. I like this a lot better now, probably one of my favourites of the comp. I can't see the intro or the endings though, what's with that?

allen, found a bug with the latest Windows version. If I alt+tab out of it and return, all the lines turn black and I can't see shit besides the particle effects.

Sorry about that, I just sat and tried to fix it. Numerous attempts failed, I really can't find the source of this bug(although easily reproducible) short of just reloading the entire level, which is less than ideal.

But since I had the game open, I thought I would change a few things, in order to alleviate some frustration or impatience.

The game will now restart at the pod when you fall off and pressing escape will now exit the game immediately. You can also press Space to skip the 48 second intro.

All the builds are up-to-date with these changes. Sorry about not being able to fix the alt+tab bug, I'll still look into it and ask around but for now just don't alt+tab.

really loved it, the atmosphere is just spot-on. I didn't know anything about the movie connection (intro was black) but still i thought to myself while playing this would fit in really well with it. Than i got the third object and everything was clear(i haven't seen it in ages so i forgot about the vehicle at the starting point, i thought it was a robot) Is there any thought behind the 3 objects?
With the first object near the starting point you can cheat by jump-climbing the mountain.

i keep forgetting to fix that glitch, thanks for reminding me.

the pen is in the beginning of the film floating in the shuttlecraft before the flight attendant grabs it (while heywood floyd is on his way to the docking station to go to the moon)
the chess piece doesn't exist in the movie but it's a nod to the scene where hal plays chess with astronaut poole.
the suitcase looking object on the top of the mountain is the case that houses the 'broken' ae-35 unit that hal mistakenly reports as broken.


the game isn't really connected to the movie or isn't any explanation or anything, it was merely a nod to one of my favorite films. call it a love letter i guess

edit: and the 2061 isn't another nod to 2001, it's a reference to Betelgeuse's harvard revised reference number in the Bright Star Catalogue

as i've said i haven't seen it in a long time, so i just imagined it as the way the monolith is found on the moon and the player touching it makes it go active.

Incredible use of sound to create atmosphere.  Very cinematic (in the best sense of the word).

I found the gameplay side of things pretty tedious though.  The whole unity 3d explorer-platformer thing just doesn't work very well for me.  Movement just feels way too clumsy for me to enjoy it, which isn't a dispersion against this game in particular, it's a general unity thing.

So I can't seem to watch the intro on my computer, whether I'm running it as an executable or in the browser, but regardless...

Something about jumping from platform to platform over that abstract ocean with just the sound of your own breathing makes this the most terrifying game in the competition.

the intro is sound only, just so you know.

 My Word!

And here I thought I was missing something important.

EDIT: Not that the sound's not important.  It's a good intro.  It's just that I've been having trouble running a couple other entries so I was just assuming my computer's senility was keeping me from seeing something cool.
