You know there's something good inside this safe. You've drilled a hole to peer through at the lock tumblers, using your eyes and your ears can you crack the safe?
- Controls - Left arrow, Right arrow or Controller left thumbstick: Spin the dial Keyboard B, or Controller A button: Toggle peering through the drilled hole
- The goal is to get the tumblers inside the lock to line up, allowing the safe to be opened. You can see the notch on the tumblers, and hear as it passes the lock fence. If all three tumblers line up properly, you win.
- Built in UnrealEngine 4, using Blueprints. All modelling done in Blender during the compo time frame. Since there's no source code for Blueprint I included all of the game content, including the Blueprints.
the shortcut 'Play!' at the root of the project should be removed. it links to a 'wrong place' : C:\Users\xxxxx\Desktop\Safecracker\WindowsNoEditor\Safecracker\Binaries\Win32\Safecracker.exe
Play shortcut doesn't work. (It tries to load something from my desktop?) Went digging and found an exe but couldn't run it, even with the VC++ Redist. Same missing DLL error as above.
On my old GeForce Gt240 it works too slow. And also I can't see the scene when zooming in because everything is too dark. (Incorrect rendering?) So I can't rate it. The cost of new technologies... But anyway I want to try Unreal Engine for myself in the future. It was interesting to see what can be done with UE and Blender :)
Doesn't work for me either. Even after installing VC++ Redist 2013 and copying the DLL from windows32 to the game folder, I get the same error as LewisW. Shame, because the screenshot and idea seems kickass.
Nice to see others using UE4 as well. In regards to the issues people are having I would recommend:
- Include the correct redist in your download, we did that and most people seemed to be able to run the game fine. - Don't include a shortcut with an absolute path. Instead a bat file can use relative paths thats work for everyone. Or create an installer that handles creating correct shortcuts. (Can take care of the prerequisites as well)
Anyway, regarding the game: I like your take on the theme and the presentation. My main criticism would be that it takes quite a bit of time to crack the first time, combined with the limited feedback on whether you are making progress, makes it hard for the player to feel like they are progressing through the game.
My laptop is not good enough to run it... Perhaps you should specify a minimum system requirement to run it? Such as requirement for processor, RAM, video card...
Cool use of theme. Nice graphics as well. Not super fun, though. Might be better if it felt more like a game - faster moving tumblers, time limit, etc.

Loved it...
Safecracker.exe - Application Error
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
New engine woes I suppose.
