Angler Cell is our entry for Ludum Dare 32. Your unconventional weapons are FISH! Smack fish up with other fish!
Controls:
General movement: W-A-S-D Attacking with fishy weapon: Left Mouse Throwing puffer fish: Middle Mouse Switching main weapon: 1-2
There is a world editor included in there, if you launch the game through a shortcut with the cvar "-editMode true" you will end up in the world editor we made during the jam.
We didn't get to finish the actual game, so we ended up making this instead.
The graphics are amazing! The controls and physics feel a little bit awkward, maybe some sounds would help to indicate what's going on. Even though it's not finished, what you've accomplished is awesome! Great work!
Cheers! Yea, I'm not sure how the performance was for you, but on low framerates everything gets a bit buggy. Should've thought about that when we started, but oh well haha. That is also the main reason we couldn't create the full fetched game.
This art is absolutely gorgeous. I would put the secondary attack on a button other than middle mouse though, just to make sure players are able to use it regardless of their mouse setup. There's a lot of potential here -- I'm excited to see what you might do with this. Great job!
The graphics, animation, and general visual mmod (shaders, choice of colors...) are fantastic. But being propulsed in the game without any introduction/menu is strange (I thought it was a presentation screen at first until I noticed the health bar decreasing). and the controls feel strange. Anyway, great atmosphere!
Yea, the game is unfinished -- like, really unfinished haha -- We got a little ambitious on map size/features and figured that without optimisations it wouldn't be able to run on lower end computers. Thus, in the approx the last hour we revamped it to a 'brawler', mainly with the purpose of showing the art. Cheers!
Again, another uncontrollable game! Azerty keyboard here. The graphics would be good if they weren't so dark. So don't get me wrong, they show a lot of work, but the result is lack of clarity and contrast. Music, well decent. Theme interesting, although again, I can barely understand why there are fish in a sort of factory or plant... I can't even say if there are more levels.
@bace1000, what's your screen resolution? We should've made something so you can change that manually at start.. You can try it yourself; open the file "main.js" with any text editor, find the line "Window.setSize" and change the values in there. The default resolution is 1280x720.
@Victor RNE, oh damn haha. Sorry about that. Also, I agree with you. There are not any more levels, it was more of just a representation of what we've created art wise since we couldn't make our gameplay goal.
Couldn't start game, got this error "The program can't start because d3dx10_43.dll is missing from your computer." Maybe I don't have DirectX10 installed, huh? >_<
Looks brilliant :D I love the bubble screen view, how do you do that? The weapon looked really cool too though im not sure exactly what it was. Nice Entry!
If you're looking for the code we used for that shader, it's in 'shaders/post_processing_diffuse.fx". We had two uniforms for the shader, "Distortion" & "Flicker".

Thanks for the compliments by the way!
