114 Death lights dancing over a salt marsh.

You are John Lighthousekeeper, of the Esoteric Order of Lighthouse Keepers.  One night you awaken from a hideous Dream to find yourself out in your rowboat, in the middle of the Salt marsh.  You must get back to your light house or Ship will crash!

An epic Lovecraftian 3d rowing simulation program for one player.  For use with Mouse controller.



(The brown thing in front centre is meant to be the rowboat.  Now that I have my own computer back I can fire up Blender and improve that.)

edit: finished!

edit: minor modification, post-deadline

edit: modified again.  now you can change mouse sensitivity with mouse wheel.

Oh man that's dark. You could have all manner of Hideous things popping up in there.

I like where this is going. Hopefully something will cause the lighthouse to move around or disappear occasionally.

Oh, and you forgot to add the compo tag.

If you're rowing, will you be facing backwards?

Yeah that would be awesome, with one key to turn your head from time to time.

Not if you have an owl head. Gentleman

Maybe Jhon has an owl head! But then his name would be: Jhon OwlHead LighthouseKeeper

Owl head is a good idea, I might use it.
I hadn't thought about rowing being backwards.  I'm used to kayaking which is forwards, but not as appropriate.  Backwards would be confusing and difficult, which is sometimes good, but it will be dark and dangerous enough already I think.

I love the ideas you guys have come up with here.  Floating fetus faces are likely.

:D

That was just a reference to my old avatar, since Melly said you could have all manner of Hideous things there. But floating faces FTW!

Here's a demo: http://smestorp.googlepages.com/deathlight.zip

Mouse controller is required.  Instructions are to find your True lighthouse and get back to it.  The scraps of light will help you find the way.

Please provide feedback.  If it doesn't run then probably I haven't included the MSVC dll properly or something.

What's missing:
- audio (important for a horror game)
- haven't done the boat model yet

edit: also missing were MSVC dlls.  knew it!  should be fixed.

On OSX at the moment, will check it out over the weekend deffo.  I see you're using SDL - would you be interested in getting an OSX port put together?

Lurker reply warning. Just wanted to add that I had the same issue trying to run it and wondering if you could use any further info about my system, since Yama got it going okay.
