Dancing in the Depths
Note: This game plays best with headphones since finding the Dogman is based on directional sound cues.
This game was made using Unreal Engine 5, along with Audacity and Gimp 4 (woo, finally)
The models and textures are premade/purchased, though the portal and his dancing animation were handcrafted, along with all sound effects and programming.
Dogman is real. In fact, it's been public info for a while, he's been seen at Wendy's at least once a week. But he has one secret the world still suspects, but has no proof of: his sick fortnite dances. As a Facebook Reels creator, your job is to travel to the woods he's known to roam, and video him 'doing the griddy' and other dances. Of course, he only does them at night, and he does them in random locations. You must use your camera and ears to track him down in his underground vacation island and record him breaking down those sweet moves. Don't get too close, or he will run away, or something much worse!!

There was a bug where he killed me even though I reached the boat. Also the flashlight is kinda bad.
@jordanfb nice! Glad I could get someone with that :rofl:
Thank you both for the kind words!
Nice short game for some lols.
Although I'm not sure how it fits with the depth theme. Is it the depths of the jungle? Is it a cave (there's rock on the sky)? Are we on a beach? We'll never really know!
Nice entry tho!
Fun game idea though, and nice implementation for a game jam!
@sylf A kind soul :heart: I hope you enjoyed his dance!
@ukulelefury I tried to work out the duplicate music bug, but time didn't allow :cry: I'm glad you enjoyed it though
@crozzy :two_hearts:
@zenorke Thanks! @nrankin13 is to thank for the wonderful audio in this game!
@matimay The backstory and reasoning and really most explanation is left to the user's imagination. As for the theme... well, I don't expect a high score on that. "it's underground" was the best I got. I wanted to make a fun and funny game, following the theme was secondary at best.
Also this was my first time playing a game where you carry a camera where you can see its view in 3rd person, it felt innovative to me.
The upload bar getting slower towards the end was a hilarious little touch.
