This is the story of a French Graphic & Game Designer student (me, btw !), who needs to find an internship in a Game Studio. You'll help him, going through the three games he has created, to reach his goal. And he "only get one" : find an internship.
I really enjoyed to do this Ludum Dare, even if the "work-alone" situation isn't my habbit. I tried to deal with all the differents roles in the same time, going from dev to graphic design, and the other way round. I just called a friend of mine to make me some tracks I could use (all the songs are from this friend, in fact).
Now I hope you'll enjoy this entry, and support it ! And if you need some intern in your Game Studio, all my contacts are in the credits... ;)!
@romandtom : I've made this game as my Curriculum Vitae. I'm currently student in Game and Graphic Design, and i'm searching a 6 months internship. I took the Ludum Dare opportunity to make an original, interactive CV which present my abilities and all the games I've made :)
@Scifer : The grey colors are used to make contrast with the three different games :) It also represent the grey color of the walls of my school (seems like a jail to me... :D)
Really good game! LOVED the art, the art is among the best art I have seen ALL LD. Nice sounds, solid story. Some of the game play is a bit tricky, like how you have jump to Shift, that messed me up and those small seconds are critical in these types of games. Very solid platforming and collision detection was amazing. I guess I have trained myself with poor collision detection and bad physics, so this game was really hard for me because it did those things so well. Haha. I got a bit confused on the level design and found it hard to know where I was supposed to go. Jumping felt a bit weak as I couldn't do some of the puzzles. I found some little 'holes' in the game where I could like glitch through walls and beat a puzzle quicker or something. Overall, VERY nice game!
Cool concept and generally well-executed. If you plan on submitting this as it stands in English, you've got several grammar errors which, while not too bad, do detract from the professional feel of it if you intend to use this as a CV - I'd recommend having a native speaker read through it. Just some friendly advice!
Thank you all for the support :) I take all of your advices ! They're really useful to me(I'll call a friend of mine, native english speaker. He'll tell me what goes wrong with the grammar, thanks ^^)
@MrBlade, well, your comment is awesome, and very precious. Thank you !
@ENDESGA : for the lack of graphics, time was against me :( Leading this project alone forced me to make choices. But I certainly will take the time to make something cleaner as soon as possible. Thanks a lot for the feedback !
Kept getting stuck on the first game on the red line, until I figured out you should go down on the text. The zelda/mario platformer had some of that IWBTG-type unforgiving platforming with the breaking platforms, which I consider bad game design. I'd say the little puzzle game with the tanks was the best one.
Overall I'd say within a limited timeframe, you should try and focus on one concept and polish it up as much as you can, I reckon you got spread thin between these three different types of games.
Best of luck on your internship hunt, I'm sure you'll do fine going from here.
Nice Little Game, I love the idea! Regarding the mini-games I really enjoyed the stealth one, and the first platform is very original, albeit a bit too difficult for me!
Merci pour les encouragements :) Pour ce qui est de l'intro, elle aurait pu effectivement, mais cela aurait du se passer à coup de "flashback", puisque la cinématique retrace mon parcours AVANT cette année. Et c'était plus long à amener à l'intéreur du jeu, sans perdre le joueur (qui sera un RH, pour le coup ^^).
Interesting idea. I didn't care for it myself; however, I noticed in the comments that you said it is meant to be an interactive CV, and I think it seems to work well for that.

I'm not sure I have entirely understood the game.
Great stuff, hope this helps you find an internship!
Thanks again for your support !
The graphics (imo) are lacking a little, but it was fun nonetheless!
Awesome!

Bonne chance pour trouver un stage! :)
Courage pour trouver un stage, je suis attelé à cela également !
