Very clever and cute game. I would love to see where a project like this could go. The artwork is fantastic and humorous.
5/5 stars. Would play a finished version.
Clever interpretation of the theme! I like the graphical design. Too bad it was so short, i was really stoked to learn more about the robot :)
"The program can't start because OpenAL32.dll is missing from your computer." :-(
Sadly, I can't run the game. I'm getting a generic 'Application was unable to start correctly' error...
Ha ha - I like where you're going with this... one question - how do you imagine it evolving into a game that has multiple paths? Or will it be primarily a puzzle game that has only one "answer" per room/challenge?
Crashes after I press A :(
@archaeometrician Thanks! Definitely spent the majority of my time on the art, still feels like programmer art, but maybe polished programmer art?
@Mufm Thanks Mufm!
@Simon@LD Thank you, definitely had (like everyone else) bigger plans for a longer game, but that time management...
@voidqk Those dependencies... bah, I added OpenAL32.dll to the zip file, hopefully it'll work now.
@Xeke_Death :( I'm using in a development engine, there are quirks yet, this was the first time I used it to try creating a release version.
@mrspeaker I definitely envisioned multiple paths, an idea of the you (as the robot) deciding a multitude of end choices between rage and destruction on man-kind, love and peace, etc. (IE hitting the theme even harder, with it being all in the mind of the AI). Definitely still a puzzle based game though, but with multiple choices.
@sudorossy :/ did you try the one without Audio?
Could not run, failed on start. Tried non-sound version.
tried both the sound and no sound version, bot fail on startup.
I'm getting the same error that Errongal is.
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application"
I get this with both sound and no sound versions.
Using this rather cool tool : http://www.dependencywalker.com/
I found that the XInput1_4.dll was an x64 dll running against an x86 compiled application. I'm hoping that's the issue.
If it's not, there's a good chance that it has something to do with video card differences with regards to the textures (too large, not necessarily powers of 2, etc)
I've re-compiled the XInput.lib into the Application.exe so it should run now :/ hopefully.
Wont start. I miss MSVCR100D.dll on my computer.
Not a valid Win32 application.
Like Rikard said, The MS Visual C++ Runtime is missing.
Yeah... I'm missing the MSVCR100D.dll too
Missing some MSVCR dlls...
Couldn't play the game T.T some dll issue like everyone else
Nice work!
The MSVCR100D.dll is an easy fix, it was an issue in my entry. I'm assuming you compiled in MSVC?
Go to C/C++ Properties -> Code Generation and under Runtime Library select Multi-threaded (/MT) or Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd). Since it seems you compiled in Debug configuration, you want Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd). That'll statically link that library into your executable.
Also, your fix for the 0xc000007b error worked, although on the public computer I'm also getting the MSVC DLL error. It'll work on my home comp, I'm sure.
Ok, got to play the game.
Big question, though. Are you/were you planning on using neural networks as part of the game? (Since you mention them on the whiteboard) :P
It's a neat idea, and the artwork looks nice. It's too bad it's so short :/
@Skipi Bah, I had done that, must have overridden it with a non /MTd at some point.
No Neural Networks, it would be cool to add it in somehow though, it would give the robot a little bit of flare :)
If I were to continue with the game, I wanted the robot to slowly build up, more intellect (aka moves/skills), more body parts (legs, arms, torso, etc), other robot characters to interact with (predecessors). Primarily though I wanted it to be about the mind of an AI growing, and the choices it would/could make.
Cute!
Couldn't run it. Got "The program can't start because MSVCR100D.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the prgram to fix this problem." Running on Windows 8 machine.
Yeah I also couldn't get past the "MSVCR100D.dll is missing" error. Bummer, the screenshots looked cool.
Missing DLL, couldn't play. MSVCR100D.dll... might be a Visual Studio Redistributable thing. Sorry.
Yup, same dll issue.
