You are a monster, hiding in a closet inside a little boy's bedroom. It's bedtime, his mom put him to bed.

You have to scare him and make him cry! But beware, you're the kind of monster that vanishes when you're seen by an adult... And mom's come back if the kid is crying out loud...

Gamplay is like a FPS -> move the mouse to look around, move with WASD (no remap requied)

Press E to scare the boy.

Set your graphics in the dialog that show up the first time you launch it.

Written in C++ using Ogre; Bullet, OpenAL, libSNDfile and BtOgre

1st compo for me, enjoy!

This was a really cool game. Surprisingly done in 48 hours too.

Good concept! Although once you know what to do it's impossible to lose, you just repeat the same actions over and over. Maybe make the mother come faster the more times you scare the boy or something

Modeling, texturing, rigging, animating... and coding too! Amazing for only 2 days of work.

TheRuseman, thank you! The mother comes actually a bit faster each time, but not by much. Didn't had time to do really playtesting and it may just bug...

fore more presision, The 2 humans are generated with MakeHuman; I onely modeled the environement by hand.

The textures are done with a software called mapzone2. It's procedural generation. It's old (2007 vintage). Maybe you can still find it on the internet...

I got caught, thought I was hiding in the closet but somehow she saw me.

Oddly creepy... But hell of a good effort for just 2 days! Great work! :)

A 3D game not done in Unity or Unreal - awesome! Not the most engaging game but a fun take on the theme.

Major props for doing a 3D game. The mood was great and it fit the theme well. I had fun with it.

Interesting idea but a little repetitive. Impressive art to have finished in 48 hours!

Nice and simple, but a good straight on approach to the theme!

Nice game for a first compo, Good job on getting all the art assets. Good luck with the next one.

@Nichii Thanks! I can't wait for the next compo... I don't feel like I made a "real" game this time. But know I know how the LD works, how the themes are chousen and I have a better idea of what it takes to do something like that in 48h...

I've learnt things that week end! :O xD

I don't know what to say. But its funny :)
Ramiel26 Aug 2015, 14:13
Nice idea. But the gameplay isn't too exciting. But considering the time and what you pieced together it's pretty well done.

I had a good laugh at the crying sound-effect. There were also a couple times I got caught when I was in the back of the closet (pretty sure out of sight).

anabitraymustache It's a synt with somme shitty modulation, the wave duplicated in audacity + a little time-shift to add some weird doppler effect. It was better than recording my onw voice then trying to picth it up and make it childish...
