Chordata! - The Planet Exploring Game

Ha! Well that was over quickly!!! :grinning:

I read the instructions, turned my torch off and on, then I walked past my ship into a pyramid and there were some cogs...which I clicked on...and that was that! So I played it again and the cogs were in the same place! It's such a shame - if you'd only had time to add some randomisation so the cogs could be in a different location each time - it would have made a huge improvement. Also - the footstep sounds for the Standard Asset first person controller are possibly the most annoying sounds in the world (IMHO)! I thoroughly recommend avoiding using those sounds!

However, you've created a 3D world with terrain, objects and lighting and there is some atmospheric music in there too. Sadly, the gameplay and sound effects let it down.

I applaud this early effort! @josh-vdb came by my dev stream and shared his game with me. It's small, and sure there isn't much "game" inside, but what we do have is 24 hours of effort from someone who is new to programming! There's a lot of heart here, and any of us who make games can run around in the little world he created and know what was in his head. I think with practice, leveling up, and more Ludum Dares will we see bigger and radder content in the future.

I liked exploring the terrain, and the ship model was really good. I see a good bit of potential here, so I'd suggest continuing to work on it.
