Little shoot em up with no name as my first entry in LD. The goal is to kill all the enemies as fast as possible, sadly I didnt have time for decent AI (or pathfinding) so the enemies are fairly useless apart from when there is a group after you.
Controls: W = Forward, S = Backward A = Turn Left, D = Turn Right Q = Strafe Left, E = Strafe Right SPACE to shoot!
Programs/Languages/Libraries Used: - Javascript - JQuery - Three.js (with extras also found in three.js' github) - Buzz (js audio lib) - sfxr - Notepad++ :)
Fun little game - I had fun running around shooting guys. I completed a level, but the next level seemed like the same thing, so I gave up. It would have been cooler if you could have seen the shots better - I only saw them as white or red flashes, nothing traveling. I think that simple thing would have made it a lot more engaging. Sounds were fine, and the 3D world is pretty (and minimalist).
First 3D game I've seen that doesn't require browser plugins. Neat! Did you use WebGL?
For the game itself, the controls are a bit wacky, especially the turning feels too slow. Collision detection could also be more precise (you seem to just check for the x/z coordinates and not account for width and length). Other than that, nice :)
@DaveDobson, Yeah I wanted to have travelling projectiles but in the end I opted for 'hit-scan' (and delayed the hit sound so it wasnt as apparent) because I was worried about the excessive raycasting being too expensive. Also there is only one level, even though I spent so much of my 48hrs on the level loader and ability to make levels very quickly ;/ Thanks for the feedback!
@mort96: Yep, WebGL (www.threejs.org) I would have loved to refine the collision and controls more but I felt like I had sunk way too much time into that part of the code already, unfortunately. Thanks for playing.
it reminds me of the old type games in which all you needed to do is spam the shoot buttone, simple but effective. always a game in which people would stick to try to get their best high score. it does gets tiring smaping the shoot button lol
Sounds weren't working for me, but I'm using an antiquated version of Chrome
