Ludum Dare #29compo
Box Simulator
Box box, box?
BOX!
UPDATE! There's now a post comp update for people to see where Box Sim could be headed.
Box simulator. Built to simulate boxes and mining trucks for up to 16 people.
Aim: BOX! Move the boxes to the depot. Move other trucks out of the way. Move more boxes.
Theme: It's very loosely based on the theme. The trucks are mining trucks. They are in a hole. They are moving boxes about. I was not in a mood for creating a deep, metaphysical philosophical view on the world to marry the theme... BECAUSE I STUCK THOSE FEELINGS INTO A BOX AND RAMMED THEM WITH A TRUCK!
Controls:
WASD, Arrows - Accelerate, brake, steer.
Space: Handbrake
Notes: Sometimes you'll be unable to host a new game due to Unity's test server being overloaded. Try again in a few minutes and your friends will be able to connect over LAN. Internet play requires you op forward a port to the PC hosting a server, just like Minecraft.

Couldn't seem to join your server (clicking connect did nothing). I did play the game however single-player. Was pretty fun.

Quite amusing. Box Box Box Box Box
ehtd28 Apr 2014, 02:31
lol I wasn't sure what I was doing, but BOX!!!
NicoM28 Apr 2014, 02:38
Strangely fun:D I had no idea what to do, so I just drove around, listening to the beautiful soundtrack;) reminds me in a weird way of carmageddon :) good job!
Zenton28 Apr 2014, 02:44
Going in I had no way of know there would be boxes, boxes/10 would box again.
SFBTom28 Apr 2014, 03:46
If you're going to play one game from LD48 this year, this should be box.
Elforama28 Apr 2014, 03:49
Those boxes, so vocal. I loved the audio in this. Box blast!
DrMelon28 Apr 2014, 03:49
Had fun playing this with a friend! But I dunno what it has to do with the surface theme, haha!
cr2crstudios28 Apr 2014, 04:54
Hahahaha, box.
Brian Stegmann28 Apr 2014, 05:36
I sat watching the title screen, but nothing happened, and I don't see a single player option... All my life they told me I could never box, and I thought this would be my chance... but sadly, it doesn't seem to be so.
terraco28 Apr 2014, 05:41
Ah, Brian. You were clearly not thinking outside the box. To be box, one must not be box.
Host your own server and you can box.

Brian Stegmann28 Apr 2014, 05:47
Thank you terraco, my dream has finally been fulfilled, I can now say with pride that I was able to box box box box box box box box box boxboxboxbox

Didn't see how this was related to the theme but BOXESSSSS!!!!

BOX SIMULATOR 2014!!!
whalebot28 Apr 2014, 06:34
WTF. Box. This game deserves an award.
kirbytails728 Apr 2014, 06:34
Box/10. Would box again.
I couldn't connect to any servers, and the camera seemed to get in weird positions. Very box, though!

Suese28 Apr 2014, 06:38
Doesn't do anything when I click 'connect'
Suese28 Apr 2014, 06:42
Doesn't do anything when I click 'connect'. Local game didn't really explain the whole thing. I'm tempted to think this game is more fun multi-player. I'm curious though, the game had absolutely nothing to do with the theme. What's up with that?
jtpup028 Apr 2014, 06:44
Box, box box box... box box? box, BOX box box BOXBOX box.
terraco28 Apr 2014, 06:46
@seuss - you're right, it is really good in multiplayer. You can't experience smashing into your friends if you have none available. Also it doesn't seem to connect over the internet, only locally. My bad!
terraco28 Apr 2014, 06:52
Also, Suess... I updated the description to address your concerns.
Graf_Grun28 Apr 2014, 07:07
Audio 5/5.
John Drury28 Apr 2014, 07:44
LOL. Craziness...
PaperBlurt28 Apr 2014, 07:54
The other day me and my friends talked about the serious lack of box simulation games in the world.
We can stop worry now.
Good graphics.

Caridorc28 Apr 2014, 08:06
This 'boxing' game is very strange but amusing (I did not know what I was doing but, it was FUN).
IAmSpencer28 Apr 2014, 08:26
haha always fun to goof around and drive off raps. good job. :)

Box simulator!
Split8228 Apr 2014, 12:29
BOOOOOX :D Lol Crazy stuff.
microapple28 Apr 2014, 13:01
Enjoyed this quite a bit. Nice sound effects. ;D Really fun physics stuff.
The menu could have been documented a bit more. A little confusing to get into a game.

Hypnohustla28 Apr 2014, 13:08
Multiplayer games are always impressive for Ludum Dare. There wasn't anyone to play with but still a cool game! And I'm glad you didn't take the theme too seriously! :)
Foofur28 Apr 2014, 13:52
Five stars for ultimate boxiness omg :D
morcosan28 Apr 2014, 14:39
well done :)
MaddeStudios28 Apr 2014, 16:22
This is too good! I want a full version, with more boxes. MORE BOXES!!!
Lacaranian28 Apr 2014, 17:41
Not sure I got how the theme fit in, but the game is a box to be reckoned with. Nice work!
benmcnelly28 Apr 2014, 20:42
10/10 would rofl again
DarkMeatGames28 Apr 2014, 22:18
Nice, loved the sfx (boxboxboxbox) - If the controls had been a bit better, I could definitely see spending some time screwing around! Polish it up, could be the next goat simulator ;D
TowelKing28 Apr 2014, 23:05

ninjacharlie29 Apr 2014, 00:12
Haha. This was fun. Sadly no one was online when I was on :(
Good job, though. The sound effects are great :)

Really funny game. Very fun though. Just driving around in the truck hearing 'box, box, box, box, box, box...' was very funny to me. Love it, very good game.
Somfunambulist29 Apr 2014, 00:55
Very interesting gameplay and graphics. Hard to hit those ramps, but very rewarding.
drnick29 Apr 2014, 01:52
This has nothing to do with the theme.

Box of the year... But i didn't see the theme in there :D
terraco29 Apr 2014, 07:41
The theme is there, you just need to look beneath the surface.
neekobus29 Apr 2014, 09:22
Box ! box ! box !
Could be interesting if you show a counter of destroyed boxes, and some specials items.
Could be a mash up of "Mario Kart" (the Ballon battle) and "Pain"

What in the... box. BOXES, doing backflips with the back of my truck full of boxes.

Muu?29 Apr 2014, 12:54
I wasn't able to play online, I only played local games.
I had absolutely no idea of what I was doing and the controls were so bad they felt actually good.
On Beneath the Surface level the camera actually got beneath the surface on slopes, I had no idea of where I was going.
" Box box box box box box box box box box boxboxboxboxbox! " This only made the game 10/10.

haha.. nice box ..good job :)
PapyGaragos29 Apr 2014, 13:56
It's funny how you turned a limitation of the compo to a strenght for your game. Good job!
The game is also pretty fun in solo, I can only imagine what it's like with a lot of players

haha, I could drive that truck all day. box, box, box, box!
Mythalore29 Apr 2014, 21:13
Making an mostly multiplayer game is not a very good idea, especially online only. The game itself didn't seem to really hit the theme or be terribly engaging.
tankete29 Apr 2014, 22:24
So games much box wow! Not really sure what I was supposed to do, but it was...interesting! :)
Roman Kornev29 Apr 2014, 22:27

Hahah such a funny game ;) Neat idea :)
matthias_zarzecki30 Apr 2014, 12:38
Ha, I see what you did there.
Neat idea! Did you make the driving yourself, or is that a premade tool? (like Jcar)

Driving was done myself :) had trouble with the suspension in a short time so i decided to cut the springs and make it rigid as.

I box, I box, and I box again. And that was just with a single box. Truly some of the most fun I've had this LD.

Nuf nuf nuf. Makes a lot of fun. BOOOOOX
caranha1 May 2014, 15:24
A friend recommended me this game. But it is Unity Web Plugin only, which does not work in my system :-(
I guess I'll have to BOX the game and play it later.
(Binaries, please!)

Okay, that was pretty damn funny. And weirdly creepy.
terraco1 May 2014, 22:06
Hey Caranha, there are downloads with .zip's, .exe's and all the other goodness available as well!

Logun2 May 2014, 19:25
You get 5 stars in audio for that truck sound :D
It's always fun to run into things, so i had fun :)

Sorry, I couldn't play your game, there was only one server up and nothing happened when I clicked "connect".

Sorry to hear that Tomvert. You can play by clicking start server
cirolve4 May 2014, 03:13
Box!! Definitely inspired by the intentionally quirky Goat Simulator or Surgeon Simulator.
terraco4 May 2014, 05:23
Hey Cirolve, unfortunately I haven't played either of those games :(
ArcturusDeluxe4 May 2014, 22:21
First of all I'm giving you a 5 for audio, because box. I wish I had more people to play with because this actually looks like a lot of fun. Cool stuff!
pinkmonkeyhead5 May 2014, 15:04
I would love to check the source.
terraco12 May 2014, 01:54
Hey pinkmonkeyhead, source link added. Post comp link updated for those interested
Zerkruemler14 May 2014, 07:34
Strange. Took me several minutes to find the depot. Overall I don't understand the gameplay. It seems to be fun with multiplayer only.
when is 2014 edition coming out?
