This is a very basic idea of what I wanted to do. For my first Compo/Jam I am happy with the result but I wish I could have done more. I ended up with no music or sounds due to time constraints. There is no pause menu, sounds or music, sorry!
I cant wait until the next Compo so I can do this again!
If I fleshed this out more would people be interested in playing it?
You have to learn a lot about programming in Unity. Try to repair the walls (I can go out of the screen) and have a look at path finding. Personally I would like to shoot with mouse. The graphics is pretty.
I had colliders setup around the sections for the walls but completely forgot to put ones in place for when there are not pathways to connect each of the rooms together. Thank you for your responses I would have added in the path finding if I had had the time. I ended up spending too much time getting the random generation code in for building the levels so that killed my polish time completely.
Thank you Vytheros, I am planning on re-adjusting how I had things setup in the screen so I can use Unity's navmesh, which if I had know about its setup I would have attempted to use it to begin with.
The wall collision is a bit buggy/doesn't work and you can get lost transferring in between rooms. Part of me likes how it's randomly generated, but at the same time it makes me wonder where I'm supposed to be going.
I did reach the portal to flip positive/negative once but I got stuck after that.
@Crefossus, I wish I had spent a little less time on the random generation and worked more on the actual rooms. This was a great learning experience and I am actually starting the process of getting this converted over to unity 4.6 fort the new UI elements. I am also reworking the room generation, collision, and enemy AI.
I ran into a glitch where I was blocked by a door when I entered a new room. I was able to shoot most of them through the door but still one was remaining so I could get through. That happened multiple times and it seemed like it happened whenever I started to walk backwards as soon as I spawned in a new room. I also managed to make my through just a regular wall. After refreshing the page a billion times to start over the game again after each time there was a glitch, I eventually managed to get to the portal and started to walk back and then the glitch happened again. I really hope you can fix these glitches. The game looks nice( like the art and stuff) and I can really see the idea coming well along. Good job!
Overall it's pretty nice. Very BoI-esque, which is good considering the time frame. I played until I got stuck outside the map. Other than the apparent wall bugs people have had, it's a solid little game.
I also really enjoy this style of game. Although aiming with the mouse might have been a nice touch. Also, I seemed to be able to walk out of the arena sometimes without triggering a new room. Good work for a first attempt.
