Cave Expedition

I had so much fun making this game! it was my first project ever so it was very fun :D

Wow, this project is really cool. :) I'm thinking about joining the next edition. Please tell me, do you have any experience as a developer or any other experience in game desinging? Have you used any solutions available on the Internet? I'm completely new in this topic.

@barcyd95 This is my first time on ludum dare and first time using unreal engine, the first day I spent my time learning and built the base of the game :D, the second day I finished the game and I uploaded it

The graphics are bad, the music doesn't make sense considering where you are, and the games runs really bad.

Cool project man! Running around the cave definitely is fun! You definitely could take the map and make it into a horror game its got that vibe to me, the music is a bit out of place but still good job!

@spaceguinea-productions Its my first game that I ever made so it will be bad :(

@geniye Thanks a lot :D

Wow, I had to transfer this to my gaming rig to run it. Then again, my developer laptop still runs Windows 7.

Very Fun Game I couldn't stop playing, i ended playing for one hour :sweat_smile: . so funnnn 5/5 in every category

Wow, character model is awsome, nice idea with the cave and running, only week size is menu but overall good game!

Great job for first time! Keep practicing! Unreal has a lot of power, so that can be overwhelming.

@locustjin Thanks A Lot!

@lumous Yes i will learn it :D

Well this looks familiar!! :D :-) Kudos for the mini map, I would have liked it for our game as well.

Improvements:

* reduce package size, 800 Megs is a lot.. look at tutorials how to reduce size or look at the cook list.
* Got stuck in collision quite often, maybe the model was too big for the tunnels? Tunnels too small?
* Not sure you need an actual character model in the game but I appreciate it!

Thanks :) And all by yourself - nice!

Hey, I would love to try your game! Unfortunately, got 1440p resolution screen and I'm stuck at the main screen with music. Can't even close down the menu.

Very cool! Curious to know how you did the minimap, was it easy? Otherwise well done!

yeah it's a little jittery and rough but it may be due to my higher res monitor. Pretty cool and props for 3D!

@mikoziq Did you trying pressing E or Q to hide or unhide your cursor? As this is my first game there are many bugs :*(

@ltorrestailfer Yes the Minimap took a lot of time. It was hard

@whysguy52 I did not know how to reduce lag and it is laggy for many PC but i cant do anything

@abplayz don't remember honestly. I'll try it later this week.

Congrats on your first game!
It's quite interesting I like how you created the minimap.
As a tonal choice I'd abstain from ill-fitting music if you can't find any that work with your theme, sometimes nothing is better than just anything.
Hope you keep making games! This one shows a lot of promise.

@noteworthy Thanks A Lot :D

Congrat for your first game jam ! Your game show a really hard work and investment. It was cool to play it.

I was unable to extract the game executable from the provided archive file even when using WinRaR :/ so cannot review due to this unfortunately problem, sadly.

@pierce-brooks Are you using WinRAR 6.0.1?

Thanks A Lot @hobzone

Very nice good game. If you made the character with all the animations yourself, respect.

Sadly, it runs at like 20 fps on my pc(Its not the best, but most games run on it fine).

@dvd Thanks A Lot, Yes the game is laggy :( I tried fixing it but the problem is I am new to game development :smile:

It's not the best, but it's okay for a first game.

I tried :(

There's some issues with the game :
- Optimization (game is way too gpu heavy, 3.5GB weight is too much, visual glitches, etc...)
- Lacks an ending (unless i missed it though i searched a bit after getting the 20 coins)
- Gameplay is a bit too simple/lacks interest imo

But you still managed to ship something for your first time doing a game and in a 48h jam, which is something far from easy. And some parts of the game are done well :
- Controls felt good
- The minimap worked quite well
- Cave tunnels aren't the easiest thing to pull off imo

So, congrats on that and hope you'll do better for your next game.

Thanks A Lot @vladadamm for the detailed feedback, i couldn't optimize the game that much as its my first so i had no idea how to optimize it.
