Very interesting. I am a huge fan of games that use browsers as their platform. This is one of the more beautiful demonstrations of WebGL that I have seen in action. I really wish there was more of a game to play - do you think you will expand on it in the future? :)

skyshifter 2012-12-17 05:47

Awesome graphics, but not much to do other than walk around and stare at walls.

odrega 2012-12-17 09:39

Amazing! Most beautiful (3D) in browser game i've seen, and didn't "cheat" by using an already built in 3D engine (unity).

madmaw 2012-12-17 10:14

I've had a play with WebGL in the past and I have to say this is a frigging amazing achievement

LucaPavone 2012-12-17 10:14

There might not be much to do here, but its gorgeous! Simply gorgeous!

sanderman 2012-12-17 10:19

Interesting artistic style. Though I would suggest adding more detail. Currently all walls look pretty much the same.

It is indeed more a tech demo than a game. Maybe a first step towards a modern Wizard-like?

mrpiglet 2012-12-17 10:25

Really like the graphics, something genuinely different which is great. Obviously I'd have welcomed something to do.

nusan 2012-12-17 10:53

I could prettend that the lack of gameplay is intended. You are in a sort of hell place, and you wait for an eternal time in this little maze. I will maybe continue the project. My final goal was to add some strangle fist weapon, and creature in despear or wrath that you can collect the souls. I'm having troubble with the random generation so everything is static in this version. Obviously it could be nice to have several room style and diversity.

derosa 2012-12-17 10:54

Great potential. A pity that there are no objetives.

juaxix 2012-12-17 12:18

I really appreciate so much the quality of this.
Can you give me a description of the mechanism of those veins glowing arcs?

porpentine 2012-12-17 13:51

perfect simulation of dimensional prison-resort XXVII

thanks for the memories, will recommend to all my fellow planar entities

juniorus 2012-12-17 16:32

Nice horrific atmosphere! You HAVE TO add monsters, horrifying sound FX, etc. ;)

fishbrain 2012-12-17 16:47

not much to do, but, looks quite delicious!

zachstronaut 2012-12-17 20:30

Wow, that sky texture is so amazing. The graphics are beautiful.

xbelanch 2012-12-17 21:29

Awesome! a really helpful demo to convince of learning of WebGL.

nusan 2012-12-17 21:43

"veins glowing arcs" : not sure of that you talk, if it's the sky, it's a mess of shader code. I take several noise texture to make a distortion on my stroke texture. You can check in the source code, all is located in GlobalScrip.js, search "colorFrag3" (name convention is not that important anyway ^^). I have used mainly shader because it so fast compare to javascript, and webGL give access to that. All animation is done in shader, even the mesh motion of the spiky arch.

wallmasterr 2012-12-17 22:53

Nice cross hatching, i made an effect similar to this not to long ago. The only thinkg that i would say is that the material gets a little to bright when its fully iluminated, would mabie adjust the secularity a little. Great work :D

sience 2012-12-18 10:19

Hey, another WebGL game :). Great! My game also runs on WebGL enabled Browser. cheers!

daredevildave 2012-12-18 12:15

Making good use of PlayCanvas :-)

Really beautiful, I hope you carry on working on it.

ovenchips 2012-12-18 14:58

Wow, really, really beautiful - hypnotic even.

kato9 2012-12-18 20:00

Really interesting visual style. The idea of using the thickness of the cross hatching to represent darkness of the shadowed areas is really clever. Obviously, missing some more game like elements here, but as a sort of technical demo it's really great!

marudziik 2012-12-18 22:58

Great graphics, though it's really a tech demo and not a game (or it IS a not-game!). I would really love to see this taken further.

codexus 2012-12-19 00:49

Interesting. I saw a similar shading technique in Modo's NPR Kit and I thought about replicating it for a game.

iamorim 2012-12-19 00:57

Graphics are amazing and it's for web, so, wow! You could try to add some actions. But, anyway, looks nice! :)

georgebroussard 2012-12-19 01:38

Pretty, stylish shaders. Would like to see a game made out of it.

mase 2012-12-19 02:40

I dig the hand-drawn look on the textures. Makes me want to do some 3D work.

raroadkill 2012-12-19 02:51

By far one of the best visually pleasing thing have seen for a ludum dare. You should add some game elements into it.

fhoenig 2012-12-19 03:36

Nice shader!

christinaneofotistou 2012-12-19 04:47

very very pretty! Crosshatching shadows is genius! I hope you had fun

michax 2012-12-19 06:29

Wow! Loving your shader idea for shadows! Gives so genuine look to whole scene.
Enjoyed walking around and looking forward to some quests in future.

cambrian_era 2012-12-19 06:39

Gorgeous.

degtyarev 2012-12-19 06:46

Oh, nice textures, but i cant understand how to play it

spotlightor 2012-12-19 07:32

The graphics is really impressive!

zillix 2012-12-19 07:56

really really really pretty. reminds me of the old windows 98 maze screensaver!

tau7153 2012-12-19 10:05

Very nice graphics, well done!

krasse 2012-12-19 12:37

Very beautiful!
I will take a look at that framework. I use three.js myself and this seems to be a nice alternative!

chrismwaite 2012-12-19 12:40

Really lovely art style. I missed having a strafe key. I'd love to see this turned into an old school dungeon crawler. Good effort.

bigbadwofl 2012-12-19 13:20

Very cool engine and an interesting stepping stone for a future project. Well done.

dragonkn 2012-12-19 14:41

nice graphics, but where is the villain?

CireNeikual 2012-12-19 17:16

Wow, great job with the graphics! I might have to look into WebGL myself! Keep working on it, turn it into a real game!

uuav 2012-12-19 18:45

makes the lights moving and I will THROW MY MONEY ON THAT SCREEN

alexlarioza 2012-12-19 18:45

Would have been great with some gameplay! :)

strkl 2012-12-19 20:24

Dat shader

thegiallo 2012-12-19 22:46

Very beautiful shader!

zazery 2012-12-19 23:14

Nice graphic style.

wuhao 2012-12-20 03:51

very nice shader!
how do you find PlayCanvas, is it unity like?

nusan 2012-12-20 08:01

Per : I havent testes three.js. I think playCanvas is less open but has an editor in browser, witch is cool.
Uuav : Lights can already move (and your character emit light too) but i found it disturbing, with the rest of the world prety much static.
Wuhao : I havent tested unity, PlayCanvas has also an editor but prety basic for now. Programing is done in JavaScript.

I'm working on a post-compo version, with an enemy ! For now, he just chase you whenever he see you. I must had some kind of weapon and a lifebar. I want to add some trap too.

uuav 2012-12-20 16:24

@NuSan Yeah I didn't saw it at first.I hope you will put game in this shader, because it looks really cool.

william_edwards 2012-12-21 07:05

The art style is gorgeous distinctive. I found the animated sky distracting, but understand that what I'm looking at is a nice little programming playground and you are completely foregiven :)

I know the hatching is baked into your textures but it makes me wonder if you can't do procedural hatching in a shader instead, so as to make a true 3D interactive scene that appears to have been drawn with a biro and excellent hatching

samoojamies 2012-12-21 21:07

Cool looking but that's about it :). Good job anyhow.

ramoncb 2012-12-22 22:55

inspiring! so beautiful =O
amazing job!

lekochen 2012-12-24 00:42

Amazing graphics.

dr_soda 2012-12-27 16:17

The textures are beautiful, though I would turn the specular highlighting down a bit on the walls.

The up and down motion while walking for some reason gives me a headache when coupled with the moving sky and pulsating textures, but this really is a small and easily solved problem.

You really should do something more with this, because the art style has a lot of potential!

spe 2012-12-27 20:08

Besides the missing parts: The graphical representation is awesome for 48h.

m-gryko85 2013-01-04 12:23

great grafics too bad there is nothing to do.

azurenimbus 2013-01-05 19:09

Whoa, this is gorgeous. Turn this into a game, for god's sake!
