Interesting game. The time limit isn't working. The shooting is unclear about how far you have to be from the enemy for it to work.

zephyr89 2013-08-24 12:52

Thanks, forgot about the win and loss conditions they're on my computer but forgot to update the build. Also I think i should just make it infinite

zephyr89 2013-08-24 13:31

They are now fixed.

zephyr89 2013-08-24 14:28

Could someone give me some crits please?

bmanrules 2013-08-24 14:39

At the end of the game, Unlock the cursor so that you can click the button without pressing escape :)

zephyr89 2013-08-24 14:49

Thanks.

zephyr89 2013-08-24 14:49

Thanks

zephyr89 2013-08-24 14:51

Fixed

zephyr89 2013-08-24 17:07

Nice new level, (nice for me at least :) ).

bamitsthescope 2013-08-24 17:32

Cool

zephyr89 2013-08-24 18:08

There is a secret added. Al-la DOOM. :)

zephyr89 2013-08-24 18:09

Thank you.

zephyr89 2013-08-24 18:12

Could every comment on what os they are using. It just helps the Build order.

zephyr89 2013-08-24 18:29

everyone

zephyr89 2013-08-24 20:00

Sleep, then levels next.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 04:30

Hello, is anyone there?

2013-08-25 08:47

wow this game has so many jump scares,
i know this would be hard but if possible could you let me look up???

2013-08-25 08:50

the first level sort of thing is too long aswell

zephyr89 2013-08-25 09:00

Well, I can tell you one thing... ... They are all random, also the game is in the style of wolf3d and doom. (as well as there is nothing to look at there :) ).

zephyr89 2013-08-25 09:00

Thanks about the first level comment.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 09:02

Also added a 4th level, ammo, and lots more!!!

joekinglake 2013-08-25 09:41

Only found one minor bug, the gun clips through the walls. Really enjoyed the game though :-) Great job!

zephyr89 2013-08-25 09:41

press shift to time warp.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 09:44

Trying to fix that.
Thank you!

zephyr89 2013-08-25 09:44

for your comment

zephyr89 2013-08-25 09:47

Gun clipping fixed. :)
Now working on more levels.

shatley123 2013-08-25 11:07

Very fun. I like the old style FPS feel.
My only criticisms are it would have been nice if the mouse script had a smoothdamp and the spawns are really annoying, because of how unpredictable they are. I like hard games but i don't like unfair games.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 11:23

Good point. The final versions will have adjustable sensitivity. Will fix the spawners, they bug me as well.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 11:30

Fixed the unfair spawners

shatley123 2013-08-25 11:59

so much funner with the new spawners :)

zephyr89 2013-08-25 12:01

So, how far did you get?

wolfadex 2013-08-25 13:31

I tried to play but I Dropbox can't find the page.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 14:26

works fine with me? what os are you on?

wolfadex 2013-08-25 15:11

It's working now. I like the vibe of the game.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 15:26

Thanks.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 15:31

One thing I have to ask. How long does it take you to finish the game?

bobmooj 2013-08-25 16:09

Oops, odd that we both came up with the same name...

zephyr89 2013-08-25 16:10

Yeh, that was funny.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 16:45

Next in line, GUI.

tinfoilboy 2013-08-25 17:41

Really good game, loving the art style!

cbear_wallis 2013-08-25 17:45

The game is pretty fun but I would say that it doesn't really fit well with only ten seconds(os-windows7). But don't get me wrong it is cool ^_^

zephyr89 2013-08-25 17:47

Well I have a small feeling it's too late to change enough. I'm just happy it all works. :)

zephyr89 2013-08-25 17:49

Also who says it has to be only? I've seen some entries that use it too mean "Ten second-in-commands", and they don't have a time-limit at all. :)

zephyr89 2013-08-25 18:36

Yay, this is my first ld and these comments make it all worth it.

supernours 2013-08-25 20:12

Good game !

zephyr89 2013-08-25 20:30

Play on full screen for a full retro experience.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 20:58

Now 4h to do some chip-tune.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 21:29

Some last minute tracks, maybe an options menu.

zephyr89 2013-08-25 21:34

As no options menu, as there are no real options. :)

khopa 2013-08-25 23:41

Good game, sounds are cool.

shatley123 2013-08-26 02:04

I made it to the level with the big guy

zephyr89 2013-08-26 05:10

Did you win, How long did it take?

zephyr89 2013-08-26 06:50

Also, how do you see your ratings and comments?

howser 2013-08-26 06:52

Pretty fun but sometimes you die for seemingly no reason, guessing it's that theres someone behind you, takes the game down a bit unfortunately

zephyr89 2013-08-26 06:58

Um, Did you run out of time?

zephyr89 2013-08-26 07:00

Because when I play, I keep moving so nothing can sneak-up on me, so I've never had that problem.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 07:03

Fixed a bunch of typos.

tomsik68 2013-08-26 08:13

Awesome game!
I'm able to run the game on Xubuntu 12.04 x64, but it freezes very often(probably a Linux-only problem). Nevermind, I didn't take that in account while rating, as it's not your failure :)

zephyr89 2013-08-26 08:54

Thank you. It means a lot to me. :-)

andrewves 2013-08-26 09:07

Interesting to a see a game made in unity using this style of movement. I found the gameplay to be enjoyable although turn speed seems a little fast.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 09:31

Thanks does anyone know if I can fix this now, after the compo is over? It's just that I got used to this so I don't know if it comes under typo.

ratalaika 2013-08-26 09:32

It's a good idea, but the game is way to big for me screen to play it right (I have a 13" laptop). I like the feel it reminds me to doom hehe

zephyr89 2013-08-26 09:42

What do you mean? The GUI?

pikkufighter 2013-08-26 09:45

nice game. i little higher to the roof maybe?. and also like the hidden room.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 09:49

Which one? There are some in every level.

st33d 2013-08-26 10:18

On OSX I just get a zip containing a folder full random stuff. There's no app :(

zephyr89 2013-08-26 10:40

Ok
One min.
The thing is I'm deving on a mac.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 10:41

In the mean-time try the webplayer.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 10:49

Should be fixed, just testing it now.
It works!

zephyr89 2013-08-26 11:03

Re-uploading for organizations sake.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 11:12

Sensitivity fixed.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 13:33

Not bad for my first time!

xgor 2013-08-26 15:03

It's pretty good, however I keep getting overwhelmed in the second level and getting pushed back to the first level is really annoying.

davidwparker 2013-08-26 15:05

Interesting little FPS. It was pretty tough though- never really did find anything. It was also a little too dark.

How did you like Unity? I've been meaning to check it out.

zephyr89 2013-08-26 15:41

I use unity almost exclusively, but I did try other engines like UDK and CryENGINE. For things like ludum dare (speed events, game jams and the like) it by far is the better contender and let's you do things your way.

>Positives
1) Vast amounts of control. (don't like the interface, change it!)
2) Ease of use. (For programmers unity is one of the better engines)
3) Asset Pipline (Dear god this is good. Save your file in photoshop/maya unity auto-imports! It also can read most native file formats like .blend, .3ds as well as the usual ones).
4) Many programming languages(Unityscript,C#,Boo).

>Disadvantages
1) Bad out of the box rendering (No lighing presets, hdr is disabled, no post-process, however don't panic Advatage 1 comes in here also with custom shaders!).
2) Free version is rather limited with only one shadow-casting directional light.
3) Bad rep(think slender, slender clone #1 - 100).

zephyr89 2013-08-26 15:44

Also I am using unity free.

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-26 16:20

Good and fun indie FPS!!

bradleysmith 2013-08-26 16:35

Nice work.

ganbaregames 2013-08-26 20:13

Fun game, but I keep dying on the second level for some unknown reason. No enemies are around and I didn't run out of time so I have no idea how it keeps happening.

wally2069 2013-08-27 02:22

The unity window was bigger than my screen resolution and fake walls are really annoying

zephyr89 2013-08-27 03:53

They spawn right next to you. Also will do a small tut on my game to ease the confusion. Now to rate more games

zephyr89 2013-08-27 03:54

for the unity window just zoom out.

futuristteletex 2013-08-27 04:54

i actually did quite well at first without using the slowtime.. a little wonky as far as shooting.. but its a game jam.. =).. first shooter ive played so far.. pretty cool especially since i got back to the doom days..

zephyr89 2013-08-27 05:24

Thank you did you find any secrets? Those are the real way to play. Actively look out for them and the game will be tonnes easier. I will be doing a small playthrough my game later and you can see if you missed one.

zephyr89 2013-08-27 05:31

JUST FOUND A GAME BRAKING BUG WHERE YOU CAN HAVE NEGATIVE BULLET-TIME! just going to fix it. Just shows how little bullet time I use ! ;)

zephyr89 2013-08-27 05:46

Webplayer is fixed.

zephyr89 2013-08-27 06:03

All builds are now fixed.

hypnohustla 2013-08-27 14:23

Nice small shooter. Has a nice Doom vibe to it. Getting more time from killing enemies would be nice.

xgeovanni 2013-08-27 18:19

I think it would feel a little better if you rotated the camera down a bit or something.

vavassor 2013-08-27 23:56

Real fun and I like the style a lot. I found myself dying a lot to enemies offscreen, so I guess the spawns were kinda frustrating at times. Overall pretty solid.

blackbulletiv 2013-08-28 04:36

Wow, nice job! Probably the most fun entry I've played thus far. Graphics are very nice too.

Having now played your entry, I'm confused as to why you took issue with me using a literal ten seconds (well, actually three sets of ten seconds) in my own submission, since you also use a literal ten seconds (in a different way, of course).


Anyway, good job.

zephyr89 2013-08-28 06:50

I would have given myself 3 stars for the theme as well. ;) PS. I gave 3 stars to everyone with a 10 second time limit theme. More for different variations.

zephyr89 2013-08-28 06:52

Also, your game was the only one that I consistantly found myself going back and saying "One more level"!

orni 2013-08-28 08:50

great game

this doom-esque fps games are just great - maybe I'll install doom 1 again :D

solid use of the theme, good job

nickw 2013-08-28 10:43

Wow really hard game haha. The secrets were cool though it would have been cool if there was some indication of where they were it seemed like I would just be running against a wall and go straight through heh.

lordjosephdeburg 2013-08-28 10:56

I love these old school entries, you werent kidding though its a hard game!

larzan 2013-08-28 11:19

Nice one, too bad you don't restart in the same level though :)

khaotom 2013-08-28 11:20

Very challenging, but its fast to jump into so that makes up for it. Like a hotline miami of fps.

ointment 2013-08-28 11:37

I don't mind the difficulty, but there's some bad design accompanying it that makes it worse. Level 2 should totally be level 1, and you shouldn't have to start all over when you die, just restart the level.

The audio seems to get louder as you clear levels.

ointment 2013-08-28 11:39

Oh, and some kind of a minimap would be cool to see enemies behind you and behind corners. It's a shame the game has flaws like this because it'd be a great entry if it were better polished and playtested.

sh1rogane 2013-08-28 11:42

Wow, very fun and hard game, i like :D

kristof 2013-08-28 11:42

I like the old school style of the game. A bit hard to play with only a trackpad :) I will give it another shot with a USB mouse later. Really cool entry!

zephyr89 2013-08-28 12:41

Jiggawhat: I know right! the thing is that I had 30 min to playtest and bugfind in this game. Next time I'll try to finish a bit earlier. :) The audio is intentional as this indicates further danger.

ointment 2013-08-28 13:01

Zephyr89: you should've jammed! I took an extra day to spice up my entry and I don't regret it at all.

Hoping to see a post-compo version.

caranha 2013-08-28 15:42

Hey there! Sorry for taking so long, here is your video review: http://youtu.be/tnrUkFSehx0

I really liked the overall "style" of this game. But the windows and tiny text annoyed me a little bit. I would click through windows without being able to read them WAY too frequently.

I loved the enemy characters.

Some things that could improve in the game: Animations and death animations for the enemies -- some sort of feedback when the character is attacked from behind.

Also, your packaging is really weird. I downloaded a zip named "windows", and the program itself is named "10 seconds", even if the name of the game is something else. :-P

Thanks for the game, and see you around!

zephyr89 2013-08-28 15:58

Wow thanks so much, also why are you saying sorry for. Playing my game?
Jiggawatt: Might give that a go next time?

zephyr89 2013-08-28 16:07

Also here is my small tutorial on my game.
http://youtu.be/QMW0FNYrgDg

metranil 2013-08-28 17:15

Nice!

hbocao 2013-08-29 02:41

Loved it! I was very tense while playing! I don't if it was the music or the enemies popping every heartbeat. Or both. :P Sick bullet time!

ramoncb 2013-08-29 03:22

I love old-school fps

Nice game, keep working on it!

p4nurge 2013-08-29 13:59

I was really bad at this but I had a lot of fun nonetheless. It could be expanded, I think, into a really nice full game. I dig the old school atmosphere in particular.

rfgpfeiffer 2013-08-30 08:09

I have tried your game on a faster computer and I really like it. Is there a way to change the mouse sensitivity?

customphase 2013-08-30 14:10

Nice little game, but not for my taste

otus 2013-09-01 00:17

Fun shooter!
It was pretty satisfacting to blow stuff up :)

I clipped through the first level, somehow.

Nice entry!

tigerj 2013-09-01 00:21

Really fun entry. nice work for a comp! Love the art and audio. Controls were tight and felt good.

teejay5 2013-09-02 07:11

Cool game! In fact, I thought this was a jam entry at first haha!
Having one hit deaths does get hard when enemies can be right around the corner; maybe a radar would help this.
Congrats on your first LD!
