Unfortunately almost unplayabale for me. The game had consistently 4fps or less and I'm certain it's not due to lacking hardware. However the visuals are very sharp and clear, I like that.

Impressive that you're using your own engine! This game was ambitious, but I had a few problems. I fell off the edge and fell forever, and also my mouse cursor never disappeared from the screen. However, this game is great and you've done well.

I couldn't really play it with much enjoyment, the game was struggling on my high end pc and the mouse was way too sensitive, I couldn't really work out what to do either. Good graphics though, would like to play it when performance issues are sorted.
As some comments already stated, it's difficult to enjoy the game when it runs on 6-7 fps and when every time you try, you fall in the void and have to restart the game.
However I really like the environnement ! Overall it is nice, keep it up !
Voice over was nice but I would like to have some subtitles aswell. Graphics were nice too. I didn't have any performance issues but I experienced heavy tearing.
After some walking and running the sounds for the steps stopped working. I went to the desert but I didn't know how to pick up the asteroid debris.
I am the guy who did most of the programming on this game:
Those performance issues should be due to the vram being full, because we did not scale down our textures to sane dimensions.
There are also shadows in the game but due to some last minute camera changes they went missing and we did not notice, now there also turned out to be a bug with the shadows on AMD drivers.
The biggest known issue however is the physics, it should mostly work on the start island, but you should try not to move anywhere else, because sooner or later you will fall through the ground. This is some problem with using bullet physics in a wrong way to generate the colliders or something.
In theory there is also an OSX version and oculus rift support, with the rift support only working on OSX so far, but it still has some issues.
So what I am trying to say is, I am working on a post compo version fixing all those issues, but due to my lack of time I have no idea if it will already be this week or if it will take longer than that...
Looked very promising, hope you get a chance to finish up a post-jam build with performance improvements!
Had no performance issues here. The graphics are good, but I felt through the floor near some houses at the desert. Looking forward for the post compo version!
Didn't really figure out what I need to do - heard something about some volcano but didn't find anything here. Looking very good though!
Too slow to be playable for me too unfortunately. i7 950 & GTX 470 (1280MB VRAM) for reference.
Like other users are experiencing, the game is too slow...
I liked the source and zeppelin stuff :)
I won't rate, because the perforamce issues were too much to fairly judge the game. It definitely looks like you've put a lot of good work into it though! ^.^
It took me a while to find the airship but when I did, it was fun to control! But then I fell through the desert floor :(. This game is way too big to have a bug like that! I didn't want to play it again, knowing that I'd have to walk and that I might still fall through, but I did play once more, making sure to only walk in the desert, and I fell through anyway :(
The graphics were pretty. I thought it was weird that my character reacted to a diamond getting destroyed but apparently not to his comrade dying in an airship crash.
Your game needs a loading screen, it sits on a black screen for a long time. It also needs to capture the mouse. The mouse also needs smoothing and to be less sensitive.
Very cool that you used a custom engine, but I'm not sure that engine was 100% ready for prime-time. Hope you keep tweaking it post-compo and have it ready for Ludum Dare 31!
Fell through the ground in the abadoned village too :C
Impressive game but I had some performance issues which made it very hard to play!
Nice entry.
Chrome blocks the download. =\
good job on this! nice game
Graphics are crisp, but mouse is too sensitive and frame rate is bad...
Some subtitles for the voice over would be nice.
