LD58: Totem Traveller

About the game

Collect magic to restore energy to animal totems and unlock their hidden powers. Travel through 3 distinct stages, using each new ability unlock, until you can open the final door!

This is my first solo game jam project. This is mostly in a rough graybox stage with the core ability/mechanics implemented and some initial artwork. I wanted to learn how to combine 2D assets with a 3D world and push myself to finish a gameplay loop within the time limit.

Fixed Download!

Update: The original zip file did not work and is now hidden. The new file is fixed: LD58TotemTraveller.zip Unzip the folder and then click the LD58.exe file to run.

Changes

Packaged correctly. Added text on the walls throughout indicating gameplay mechanics as the menu and UI system is not fully implemented.

Known issues

Does not run on a multiple monitor set up. Not optimised, will run badly on many systems (working on Windows 11 with GTX 1080 GPU). Visual glitching, screen tearing, and occassional lagged input due to too many static meshes and intensive lighting that I didn't have time to replace. Menu broken, autoplays on start up and must be force quit to close. Requires mouse and keyboard, no keybinding options available yet.

Important

The level bounds are not completely set up, so it is possible to jump over some walls. I will have this fixed in the next version update, but for a true experience, make sure that you only travel through the large white doors to get to each new level. Thank you.

Credits

The water texture is from Ninja Fluid Flux. Everything else is made by me within the 72 hour time limit.

Next Steps

I will try to update this project as soon as possible with better optimisiation, full UI and controller information, environment art, narrative cutscenes, and audio!

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to check out my project. I am new to game development, so any advice is very welcome!
