Well, it's a Bar Fight! Who knows who started it, but you gotta survive! Pick any object you can find and use it to beat your opponents. And maybe you can become a true Drunken Master!
How to Play:
1- To pick a Weapon, just touch it; 2- You can carry only one weapon; 3- Each weapon has its damage, weight (slows movement) and durability (breaks after X hits); 4- Kill all enemies to get to the next night; 5- Each night you get drunker and drunker, messing up your movement and your aim;
6- Controls: - Move: Arrows - Stab: z - Swing: x - Throw: c - Drop: q - Retry: r - Next level (when level finished): n - Exit: Esc
Tools: - VisualStudio2013 - Piskel - Bfxr
Update (2015-04-20): 1- Console opens with the game 2- Attempt to fix shaders for OpenGL < 3.0 3- Setted platform toolset: Visual Studio 2013 - Windows XP
=============================
This is my first entry to LD and my first game for the public. I still have a lot to learn, so I can't make a totally complete game (e.g. lack of animation and art, I didn't even finish my engine!). But still I enjoyed A LOT the experience and learned a lot too!
I hope you can enjoy this game and have some fun! Thank you for checking in!
=============================
Post-mortem: First of all thank you for all of you who played/rated my game! I was really nervous since it was my first time but I got surprised by the positive feedback ^^.
Again, as my first game I had lots of limitations such as lack of skills and just inexperience. Still I'm proud of what I was able to do and happy to make people have fun with my work.
What went well: - The concept of the game came really fast, which made possible to start programing ASAP. - Programing was smooth, specially because a lot of code (and engine) of my training to LD was useful to make this game. - Pixel art, although very simple, I developed my skills while drawing them. - I was able to make a lot of weapons and make it chaotic, which was the plan. - The time management was quite good. I was able to get decent sleep and eat well. Of course more time would be better, but I prioritized my health to make to the end of the jam. I got a bit behind the schedule but still delivered most of what I wanted.
What went wrong: - Pixel art, still needs improvement. - UI didn't seem quite helpful. - Sound and Music, still need to learn how to make them properly. - Bad AI, need to learn more about implementing them. - Collision detector is not quite right, I assumed most objects to be circles to make implementation easier but it doesn't seem right
What's next: - Study more! - Develop more the engine - Practice art concepts - Learn how to use a music/sound maker
What every western should have been. An hour of guys throwing pianos and shoes at each other while drunk(plus up to, but no more than, five minutes of plot)
@DKoding In chrome you can just ignore its warning and download it anyway. I think you won't have that problem with other browsers though....
@hissssssssss It's highly possible that your problem has to do with the OpenGL version. The target of my engine is >= 3.0. I'm still trying to make it available for lesser versions but that would probably demand changes in my engine code. For the mean time I will upload again the game with the console open so it can print errors and the OpenGL version. I also tried to change the shaders a bit, so maybe it will work but maybe not >.<
Thanks @Andrea! Sorry about the sprite rotation >.< I wish I could make the animation/better sprites to make the game feel better, but didn't have enough time/skill xp
Who needs Drunken Fist when you have Drunken Piano! The last boss took a few tries, but I think the difficulty was quite nice. Graphics and sounds are pretty basic but they get the job done. Good job on your first LD :).
played until night 3 and had a lot of fun. Things I liked: - the weight of the objects effecting your speed. makes it super tactical to choose which item to use as weapon - the variety of different attacks (throw, stab, swing). again makes interesting combinations between object and attack. - the feel of movement
suggestions: - if you get caught without an object between guys and can't move you are dead. i think stab and swing should continue to work even if i am not holding an object. maybe does little damage i would still be swinging my arms in a bar fight in that situation :)
@nightlord Thank you for the feedback! Too bad you didn't become a true Drunken Master XD I was thinking about implementing a default weapon (fists) but didn't have enough time to think how I should do it... Also there were so many weapons that I thought maybe it was unnecessary xp
Great concept and the graphics are okay, could have used better animations but it's good as is. Sfx were pretty nice too. Movement was pretty difficult (which I guess is the whole point when you're drunk xD)
Really just a great time. Now I can live out my wildest dreams of being spontaneous and violent, but without the horror that reality brings! Basically, exactly what I want out of a game.
@wg_phancock Oh yes, as written in the description, each weapon has its own damage, weight and durability, also the character has a drunkness level for each night which affects his movement and aim, maybe that's what made the controls ackward?
@Reis Mahnic Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for checking out my game too! ^^
@TeamQuadratic Yeah, sorry about the graphics ^^; I promise I'll improve my art skills for the next LD! I made the game movement fast to make it more chaotic, like a bar fight xp but thank you for the feedback!
@CalrsonAndPeeters Thank you! Likewise I promise I'll work on my art skills xp About the control, aside the drunkness of the character I thought about making the aim in the mouse to make it feel better, but I had more actions than buttons in the mouse ^^; I'll try to make it better next time!
I'm a drunken master. Congratulations on your first LD. Nice game. At the beginning it was a little difficult for me to get used to the controls. At the end the only button I used was throw (c). The boss fight was very difficult for me, I had to try a lot of times. But it was fun. Good job.
