In Golems, you control a team of 3 good (red) golems, and must block the 2 evil (gray) golems. You see all 3 golems viewpoints simultaneously, and can control them by clicking in their views (top to go forward, bottom to turn around, etc.). You win by blocking the evil golems so that they can't move for ~20s.
This was an experiment on a number of fronts.
- I wanted to play around with having multiple viewpoints (and not initially even knowing how they correlate).
- I wrote this using Scala.js, having not written any Scala before, so it's been a learning experience.
- I'd done very little Blender modelling (and no animation) before.
In retrospect, I should have spent more time on gameplay - it was quite ambitious (given all the learning) and I only actually got a game going in in the last few hours.
