NOTICE: WIN32 IS NOW SUPPORTED! ALSO I FIXED THE MISSING DLL! IM SO SORRY ABOUT THOSE ISSUES! In other news I realized the "Game Over" and "You is winnar!" texts arent working properly. Ill get around to that sometime soon, just be aware when you die the player just stops moving. Sorry about that :(
This is my first Ludum Dare project! Its a small first person dungeon crawler with a boss! The game is pretty difficult and whatnot. The boss is cool too I guess. I dont know what else to say about it, it was made in 48 hours its not some super complex game, but at least I think its pretty fun and the boss fight I spent a good amount of time on.
Please read the readme file for info on how to run it!
I plan on porting this to HTML5, Mac, and Linux in the next few days. HTML5 will probably come first.
CHANGELOG: v1.4 - Fixed 2 more missing .dll errors for people who did not have Visual Studio redist installed -------------------------------------------------- v1.3 - Fixed missing Msvcp120.dll error for people who did not have Visual Studio redist installed -------------------------------------------------- v1.2 - Changed redist to Win32 instead of Win64 for compatability with 32 bit OSs, fixed issue with UI not working on Win32, removed some unused UI -------------------------------------------------- v1.1 - Re-positioned an unreachable heart, fixed the player occasionally running into his/her own projectiles, added 2 more projectiles to the boss to prevent just circling around to avoid damage
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: OS: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 (More OSs coming soon) Graphics Card: Support for DirectX10 or better (OpenGL support will come soon)
First: Please provide a x86 package for those who still run 32-Bit (fortunately not me), your Msvcp120.dll could be solved by searching your msvcp120.dll and putting it into the binaries folder (or for those who want to play it earlier, go to http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=40784)
The graphics look really nice, especially considering how minimal the characters are. I really like the vibe. Some of the decorations in the spaces make the world come alive, like the boxes just sitting around make the world seem lived in.
On the other hand the motion blur makes the game run super slowly on my machine, I'm probably getting 5 or 6 FPS. That makes it hard to aim and hard to tell what's going on when I shoot things. When I die the game locks up.
Yeah Im so sorry about that guys, this is the first time I was the one to publish the game in UE4 (or any game for that matter) so Im a real nub! Ill get it fixed here soon for you!
For those that have been able to play the game, thanks for all the positive feedback and little quirks you pointed out! For those who have a 32 bit OS, I should get something published in the next 30 minutes! Sorry
Ok, I was able to run it after downloading the vc redistributable helco linked. I didn't manage to make it to the boss, but I killed a decent number of enemies.
There seems to be a bug where if an enemy is too close neither of you can hit each other.
It was nice to see UnrealE4 being used, I didn't expect that. The mix of high end graphics with large pixel sprites looks good too. AI seemed very minimal and often got stuck. Also game seems to hang on death. Overall very nice! Good job!
Kiririn: Yeah the reason its unstable is because the engine isnt meant to handle crappy code :p I didnt really have time to make it run smooth considering I was already squeezing my time pretty thin using the engine.
Also, I found 2 more missing .dlls and am packaging them as we speak
That was one angry octopus thing (beat it on my first try though, so yay!). Loved the 2d sprite oriented in 3d thing going on. Some animation could be a good next step. Pretty mazeish.
Had a great time with this, was interesting seeing a high-end engine doing a lo-fi shooter. Worked really well. Great level design and lighting. Got up to the boss and died :(( Great work!!
Thanks for all the feedback guys! This is my first attempt building a full UE4 game so the performance really isnt good, sorry about that. Also WhiteWolf93, the game does have Vsync enabled, by default its set to 120FPS, but that can be changed in the .ini config file along with the rest of the graphics settings

Very fun enemies.
Nice take on the theme.
