Interesting concept, though shooting could have been better executed!
If character is not limited to see the boss, it will be more fun.
I can't tell whether the archer is attacking or hit the boss.
I can't believe you did this level of 3D graphics for a weekend game, incredible! I was able to take part in killing that daemon in the lava level, but was disappointed to see that he respawned after death. I like that you implemented multi-player gameplay.
gave you full marks for Theme, you really went for it!
tommy, I agree. I really ran out of time on the archer stage. There should be an impact and a hit animation. I spent an hour just on the arrow and I can't even see it when she shoots. In hindsight I think we tried to do too much for two people. Still so tired... :)
Thanks data! I agree Lissar, you should have to aim. The logic behind always being locked on the boss and hitting him was so the controls could be stupid simple and work on mobile too. Though it would be way more fun on PC and consoles to have more control.
DeathPidgeon, yeah when they die, they die for everyone playing and then respawn in 8 seconds. What I really want to do is give bonuses and new skills when you help take it down. Like maybe give you grenades and increased chance to critical hit, etc.
I died many times, I didn't understand how to dodge the tank (azerty keyboard doesn't help much also). The result could have been better with more time in your hands to add more user feedback, but this entry is good enough to show your idea.
The concept is really nice though. It can be the beginning of a MMO with many boss fights only.
Thanks for playing, Kyoutashan! On QWERTY keyboards it's controlled with WSAD or the arrow keys. It also supports the Xbox 360 controller. You have to connect the controller prior to starting the web player.
I was either really laggy, or the tank's hitbox is much, much bigger than the model. I found it was nearly unplayable :\
Also, if you stand still and shoot at the tank, it won't hurt you X]
this came out great, and there is a lot of work put in to it (or are the art assets pre-made)
Either way, it played well. Great stuff
A very cool interpretation of the theme!
Interesting concept, and an innovative use of the theme. maybe you should have implemented only one stage (soldier or archer) with more polish.
@SevenKingdomsSurvivors: what technology have you used for multiplayer ?
Thanks guys. The problem with only having one stage is our concept was kind of all based around multiple realms that are connected. We kind of needed a minimum of two.
We tried to use SignalR for the multiplayer. It required some work with the SignalR source code just to get it to work with Unity/Mono at all, but then we found it needed even more changes to work with the Unity Webplayer. So unfortunately we gave up on SignalR late Friday night and had to brew our own solution using basic HTTP calls to a Web API on Azure. If we get SignalR working we will probably post the source code on github to share with the community.
Cool game, however for some reason my keyboard refused to work unless I made the game fullscreen.
Thanks. There's a pretty common Unity web player problem where you have to tab over to a different tab, come back, and then it will receive input. That might be the issue.
With a proper combat system and slightly more varied boss attacks this could be ridiculously cool. Also it would be great to have some overarching thematic connection between worlds.
Could've used more polishment on the game feel and the audio. Nice idea, but it might need extra time to get to the point it's trying to make!
Thanks kibertoad and Alberto.
I agree that the combat system and game feel are lacking. We spent too much time on the server piece and not enough on the game itself. The biggest flaws in the combat system are the always locked view and the fact that every shot hits your target. It's impossible to miss at the moment. That's why I added the delay (archer) or slow walking (soldier) when shooting. Without that penalty there would be no challenge at all. Hopefully we can find time to finish the game though. I got it building on Ouya the other day but our JSON parser would not run on Android. I did find a compatible JSON library though so hopefully we can get it going on Ouya soon.
