Oh man, I love everything about this!

eldog 2014-04-28 22:58

Works on Linux (arch linux 54 bit)!

Amazing. You guys have really recreated the beauty of a PS1 survival horror.

So much atmosphere. I love the awkward camera angles. Next time you can add door opening animations (jk).

Plus voice acting.

A really good entry, highly polished and stylized.

Ps. THE LOCK IS BUSTJED.

GREAT game man!!

detective-pixel 2014-04-29 00:27

This game is amazing. The graphics and gameplay, feel so frustratingly good. A true tribute.

"De lock is busted. I cannot open it."

Man, I love this game. So worth waiting the extra 24 hours to play it as a jam submission.

Great atmosphere, neat game and interesting use of theme. :)

shubshub 2014-04-29 03:10

Couldnt get it running properly sorry

Somehow even clunkier then the classic tank controls, like how he leans to his left if you sprint while holding down W. Regardless you captured the campiness of games like Resident Evil quit well. I shall patiently await the disc 2 fix.

amazing game! it feel really really good, reminds me a lot of old game

hemuuuli 2014-04-29 07:01

Thanks for the kind words!
Looks like the hard work was worth it.

@eldog: We wanted to do door transition animations but we had to scrap them because artists didn't have enought time to make them. :/

And thanks for the Linux verification.

This is five start material right here. Not only does it press all the right nostalgia buttons, its actually a very polished game in its own respect. This is possibly the most faithful recreation of PS1-era 3D effects I've seen outside the realm of emulation.

Simply fantastic, massive kudos to the team. Viis kautta viis.

That voice... it really put a smile on my face! Really well done!

techblogogy 2014-04-29 08:22

Man o Man, THIS game rules. Now I want to re-play Grim Fandango

pitoum 2014-04-29 08:27

Full graph/humor/audio!
I always hate that kind of games but gosh it was fun to find a new one :D

lukepilgrim 2014-04-29 08:34

ammmmazing!

thelastbanana 2014-04-29 08:37

Great atmosphere and PS1 graphics. Really well-done.

flatgub 2014-04-29 10:45

OH MY GOD!
This game may possibly my favourite game in the entire jam...
So much nostalgia. The tank controls and the texture warping, so authentic! The mood was brilliant! I'm not sure if it was on purpose but i ran into quite a few situations where no matter where i walked the camera would not move on its own... Also i got stuck after a certain point where my gun just clicked and i couldn't figure out how to shoot again, but i still managed to have a great time!
Dem Bustjed locks tho...

priorblue 2014-04-29 15:39

Wow, it looks so 90's, awesome!

arcturusdeluxe 2014-04-29 17:55

Oh man, this is so cool. You set off my PS1 nostalgia something fierce with this. The dodgy models and warped textures and tank controls are perfect! Nice atmosphere as well.

dominator_101 2014-04-29 18:45

Awesome game!

This is what happens when you buy discounted locks from some shady warehouse guy.

Apparently I have the ability to bring people back from the dead! I couldn't seem to grab the key from the captain the first time, and accidentally left, but I didn't seem to be able to go back through the gate, so I went all the way back around, and he gave me his speech again. Not a huge issue, though.

@flatgub I think you have limited ammo. I think I ran out once, and there are ammo pickups a couple places.

Anyways, great entry!

Also, the lock is busted...


1/5 until disk 2 fix :P

marcus_siactro 2014-04-29 20:53

Sweeeet mother of retro! This was one amazing game! :D Good work.

jonochrome 2014-04-30 12:35

I think this could use clearer/better voice acting, a more cooperative camera, and a less awkward control scheme. Making turns and shooting enemies was a pain. But I love the cinematic camera angles, general tone, and Playstation-type graphics. Kept me captivated.

quill18 2014-04-30 13:02

Honestly one of the best games of the jam for many, many reasons.

You guys should be really proud.

(I was surprised by all the nudity in the scene after the Captain's quarters though.)

rubna 2014-04-30 15:48

ohmygod yesyesyesyes this is amazing! I love how hard it is to control xD This made me smile all the way through! But eventhough it's a parody, it's still a very well-made one! Lots of atmosphere, mood, and I really felt kinda scared of the monsters sometimes because the game is so hard to control!
Really great job :O Good luck in the competition!

d2fxrayg 2014-04-30 15:52

Wow! I like it! You totally got that PS1 feel down and for that I applaud you!

2014-04-30 17:29

Speed run challenge! My time was 3:20!

2014-04-30 18:28

Man, this is awesome! I've always wanted to recreate that PSX-style and you totally nailed it :)

phyllostachys 2014-04-30 21:22

Ah, reminds me of playing Resident Evil, FF8, and everything of the sort. Goal accomplished.

frozencow 2014-05-01 00:01

Saved this for later to continue playing (or rather restarting). This is an absolutely awesome game. The big rat was pretty cool already, so I'd like to see the ending... even if the controls make me crazy :P.

rincewind_cz 2014-05-01 16:21

Wow, these memories... Seems like my second disc is scratched, can you send me new one? :D I really enjoyed this, good job!

evilseanbot 2014-05-01 19:02

I'm a big fan of games from the period, and I think you did a great job here.

Cut scene/voice over segments seem to take me out of the experience somewhat. Maybe if you had some kind of special camera work during those segments or gave the player more control over them?

If you did a similar homage to Silent Hill I would be super pumped.

tifu 2014-05-02 12:57

Oh god D: I was just playing this constantly muttering 'this is awesome' the entire time - this is exactly the kind of thing I want to make with Unity (or whatever I can make in) but I've never actually seen anyone do a RE-style game in it before, and then to see it in a jam? GAH Amazing. My own weird love for the genre aside, the game is incredibly well done and atmospheric, great job :D

greg-anims 2014-05-04 23:27

Im looking forward to the extra content you guys are making - im not sure how else to contact you but im making a PS1 style platformer and would be really interested to use your pixel-error shader (is it a shader or does it round the mesh verticies?), please email me at: greganims1@gmail [dot com] if thats alright with you. Thankyou
