Thoughts from the author :
5 hours in to this Ludum Dare and I abandoned my first project after realizing I would not achieve anything like my vision, let alone a playable game within the timeframe. So I made this game. I wanted more features in this game.
The original story was "you are monitoring several planetary excavation sites, with the main role of rescuing the occupants of various outposts when they became under siege".
This game is actually just the first part, navigating the tunnels to the underground mining facility, where there you would have a skirmish with various other craft and even alien life forms. Even more, I was going to swap to a first person shooter where you searched the facility for survivors and cleared out any intruders. Then flying the rescued back to the orbital monitoring station.
Yet another idea too grand for my capabilities within the competition timeframe. (note to self ; practice using Blender before wasting 5 hours during the competition constructing various basic cylinders).
The main thing I wanted to accomplish was creating a procedurally generated level. And while there are many flaws with the matching of pieces, I'm quite happy that the idea behind the method worked. All the tunnel surfaces are modified with perlin noise, and my next step is to work out how to make the pieces seamlessly tessellate. There are problems with Unity and inward facing meshes that have a lot of detail when not set to convex, and collisions sometimes show it.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you have fun playing this little game. Enjoy! =]
