Phew, finally got it all uploaded and done! I’ll do a post-mortem later, right now I just want to sleep. Thanks LD!

PLAY NOW! (Unity3D web)

WASD to move, SPACEBAR to jump.
MOUSE to look, LEFT-CLICK to do stuff.

>>> You’re the type of guy who starts fires, just so you can save people from them and be a hero. First you’ll set your Fire Bomb, then you’ll rescue your Victims. Maybe your plan will go awry (it probably will) and you’ll just have to ESCAPE by yourself, leaving the rest behind in their screaming agony?

- 8 different endings
- dynamic fire propagating system
- dynamic level destruction! wow!
- totally unrealistic model of firefighting
- … and more!

Made with Unity3D, some super simple models in Maya, some sounds recorded on a Singstar USB mic + Audacity, and some simple textures in Photoshop.

Don’t know about plot yet, but I’m making some progress on the backbone of the game: you have to escape a dynamically propagating fire in the building. You start in a high-rise and have to make your way down, all while rescuing as many people as possible. Also tinkering with the idea that you’re the same person who actually starts the fire. The fire also burns down entire walls / floors — so sometimes you’ll want to use the fire to make a shortcut, and sometimes it’ll just plain kill ya.

I have the skeleton of the fire propagation in-place. Now to just build a test level and start tweaking timing / balance variables. Then spend Sunday on visuals / level scripting. Goodnight LDers!

I’m pretty busy this weekend, but that won’t stop me from cranking something out! I’m also going to try to work on it during a party… we’ll see how that turns out.

Unity3D + Photoshop + Audacity / Singstar USB mics + a whole lot of booze.

Me and Eddie Cameron did a game based on Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Conversation.” I did art / design, and Eddie did code / design.

We got done with about 80% of it. We have a pretty good skeleton, but the gameplay needs some serious tuning and I still want to add character animations.

It’s a single player, multi-character FPS in Unity3D.

Basically, you have to eavesdrop / record a couple’s conversation as they walk around a crowded plaza — without them noticing. To do that, you have 2 long range “sniper” mics watching them… and a guy on the ground following them with an “aura” mic in a briefcase. Keep track of them and don’t lose them in the crowd!

Important stuff to know before playing:

*** A yellow arrow hovers above your target for 30 seconds as an aid at the beginning of the game.  After that, you’re on your own.***

*** Also, keep your briefcase guy out of the couple’s LoS, or else you’ll lose! They have really long LoS! ***

*** Oh, and there’s one huge exploit. See if you can figure it out! ***

PLAY NOW: Unity Web (compo) | Unity Web (jam)

*** If you are judging, please play the COMPO version.
*** If you are NOT judging, play the JAM version in its (legally) photosourced splendor. The two builds are identical except for the enhanced background graphics in the JAM version.

>>> BASICALLY
It’s a Match3 First Person Sniper for sex education.

“It’s dangerous to go alone… take this condom, bro.”

>>> HOW TO PLAY
Mouse1 = fire
Mouse2 = zoom in
Mousewheel = change ammotype

1) Stare at a dude’s package. Decide what size of condom he needs.
2) Shoot the condom into his hand.
3) Match adjacent colors to create chain-climaxes for mega points.
4) Shoot well-fitting condoms to maintain a “fit streak” multiplier for your score.
5) GET HIGH SCORE!!!

Skybox art done, mostly photosourced from Unity standard assets / NASA / CGtextures / Creative Commons on Flickr. Still need to turn off fog for the moon. All full bright textures for performance reasons; I’m going to be using a lot of point lights in the actual game area, so I want to save my GPU stuff for where it counts.

Mouselook is clamped because you’re mostly just going to be sniping within that rectangle in front of you, delivering condoms to the city’s horniest / most desperate.

Looking to implement the actual mechanics and building generation tomorrow night. I don’t foresee many problems, but we’ll see…

TOOLS: Unity, some random utility scripts I use

DEPLOYMENT: Web

GENRE: Bromantic Match3 First Person Sniper

IDEA: What’s more dangerous than unprotected sex? Yowza! As WingBro, the guardian angel of bros everywhere, you have to analyze how big your buddy’s unit is and then launch an appropriately sized condom through the open window and into his hand.

Concoct bizarre chain reactions where guys in adjacent hotel rooms with similarly sized peckers are climaxing to earn mega points.

I’ll pair it with Ode to Joy for Peggle-like ecstasy.
