I'm getting an error message "Failed to open descriptor file '../../../TheEmpty-Win32-Shipping/TheEmpty-Win32-Shipping.uproject'. Using Windows 8.1 here and installed the UE4 runtime when prompted.
I have the same error as 'disperse'. The failed to open descriptor file error
I can't open this either, good luck though! I've run other UE4 games, hopefully yours gets going.
I got the same error. I installed the UE4 prereq files first.
Windows 10 - same descriptor error. Also run as admin.
Same issue here. Sorry. Screenshots look cool!
Installed the pre-requisits and am having the same problem as disperse and camthestar, "Failed to open descriptor file '../../../TheEmpty-Win32-Shipping/TheEmpty-Win32-Shipping.uproject'.
Same error, Windows 10.. I'll try to come back later!
Hey guys! Have you tried this folder?
<Folder Name>\TheEmpty\TheEmpty\Binaries\Win32?
Same error as everyone else seems to be getting. Tried running it from the Binaries/Win32 folder... looking through the files it extracted I can't even see the file it's looking for in there? Unless it's supposed to park of the pak or something?
Check if your anti-virus for some reason took it as a false positive.
See posts before this one =P
I hope you get it working. It looks cool.
If you rename TheEmpty\TheEmpty\Binaries\Win32\TheEmpty-Win32-Shipping.exe to TheEmpty.exe it runs.
(TheEmpty\TheEmpty.exe still doesn't work, but running the TheEmpty\TheEmpty\Binaries\Win32\TheEmpty.exe does)
Pretty good
Have have been fixed! You can run it by using the exe on the root folder!
Fantastic graphics and use of the theme, the mood was set well and it felt quite reproachable in a good way.
The girl got stuck a couple of times on trees, but generally it was fun and enjoyable!
Worked for me now. The graphics and visual effect was really cool. By the end I felt pretty bad about stabbing them ghost ladies. Truly we are the monsters.
We had the same type of idea. I liked your art! (Windows 10)
The visual are really nice, very cool art style. The music really fits. Quite a heavy story (didn't expect that...), gave me the chills :)
I love the graphics, it would have been more impressive if u hadn't used UE4... but, regardless a very cool game, short but intriguing. Good job! :)
Very well put together, although I have to admit that I do not think I "get" it.
Although I don't fully understand the story, the running around in the dark and the things that were said certainly made me feel uneasy, which was fantastic for the mood of the game.
Very interesting experience over all.
Ty guys! The story is non linear for those not getting it :D and it can be interpreted in several ways.
Error.
what error are you getting Newan?
Cool. Love the graphics. Awesome entry.
what I liked:
-Style in consistent and clean
-Motion blur looks good (except on the knife)
What I didn't like:
-The music gets repetitive and grating, I feel ambient noise probably would have been a better choice.
Interesting game, I found it hard to connect with the story. Incredible shaders, I loved the visual effects and aesthetics. I would love to see this game in more depth, nice work!
Great art style, nice entry :)
A thought-provoking concept and I really enjoyed the graphics. It's kind of light on gameplay but very interesting.
The screenshots look tempting, but my Windows VM does not support the DirectX 11 level 10 profile :|
@jlnr: Not a problem! You can run it anyway. I made it compatible with DX10 profiles :D
I loved the voxel style and the narrative was pretty interesting (albeit it was a bit confusing at times). The way the story ends fits the theme very well.
Loved the art style.
Neat graphical style! I didn't really understand the story, or what causes the main menu to reappear, though.
A simple game. I didn't realize there was a "real" target until a long time in, since I wanted to investigate the house. Good work, and thanks for sharing it!
It was creepy, but I didn't really get the point of it. It was too easy too kill the women while she was it the yard.
The music is nice and the voxel based graphics are lovely.
Probably my favourite graphics so far in LD! The garden's a bit too big, but otherwise, it looks so awesome I can't complain.
okay, got the fixed version to run! Really love that chunky voxel style, and had a good time exploring the house. The plot was ... lacking, though, and hunting down my victim wasn't very fun. Still, would love to see these assets used in a more full game!
This is almost the opening from Scream. It just needed the pop corn. Also a little bit dark... Um!!!!!!
I particularly like the radiation or insomnia esque graphic bit effect.
First game ive seen that literally makes you the bogeyman from those films.
Thanks guys! I'll try to turn this into a full game ala manhunt probably, the only problem would be funding if I do so.
You managed to give this game a pretty creepy mood :)
The graphic style is nice, but I'm not sure I understand the story, although I think I found all the "beacons" before killing the real girl.
Great atmosphere! The music is a bit repetitive but it works. Graphics and shaders are great!
Sometimes the lady/ghost would just get stuck and then it was very easy to stab her (actually not that easy, it took a few stabs until she dropped). Also it would be nice to have invert axys y ^^;
Anyway great entry!
I already love the visuals, and I really want to play it - but I can't, error is - returned c1, don't know what it means, anyway, I'll will check for updates, cuz visuals are really awesome!
@collaboration: Can you tell me pls, which platform are you running?
Neat graphics! I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/isROeWsQRB8
