Not really proud of it, but at least finally I did deliver something :)

Unfortunately I see there's an unnoticed problem with my CI build, so those links just have empty zips so far. Trying to sort it out atm.

I like the concept, I found the actual movement & lack of camera control really frustrating though. Could be fun to see the physics amped up so you have things flying all over and knocking down Bill and stuff, especially in a larger arena.

All that said, Nice job!

I LOVED this concept. (Also, I like how it's based on an actuality without picking sides)

Music's chill, graphics are just good enough, the physics are not perfect which makes them more enjoyable and suiting to the models. I would like to see bigger levels, perhaps variations, obstacles, I think there is actually quite some potential with this concept!

By the way, I tipped over a statue, moved it in front of Bill, stood in front of the statue, left to watch a movie. When I came back 2 hours later, Bill was still walking into the statue. Love it.

Hi, thanks for your feedback!

Absolutely agree with both of you, I barely managed to spend 4-5 hour on this project, so there's a lot of room for improvement in some areas like physics and navmesh. As I'm finally going for the "Extra" category, I might have a further look at it.

Thank you again for your valuable input!

Inevitable sound without settings! Also crashed.

Hi @kro, sorry to hear that. Is that crash reproducible? Which OS were you using?

Funny and original concept. The mechanic is a bit too simple but the execution is very nice with the animations and the music :)

Good job :thumbsup:

Interesting idea, great modeling and animation work! You did an awesome job caricaturing the two protagonists of this very captivating and definitely not scripted historical event.

The only issue is that I'm pretty sure it isn't really possible to slow down Bill by more than a second or two. But good job nonetheless putting this together in time for the deadline

This is perfect, love the physics and the art style.

Love the reference to something happening so recently :)

Also amazing camera work /s Screenshot 2022-04-12 at 10.34.04 AM.png

...good lord

Yes. You nailed it.

I like the music, the game idea is interesting but could use some polish. Good job finishing in such a short amount of time!

jani-brezavscek 2022-04-19 12:02

Haha good idea! :smile: it really was inevitable :smile:

lol this is pretty funny. Using a relevant situation in a game jam game is a great way to do something like that. Although the gameplay wasn't all that engaging, I think your humor makes up for it. Great idea, not so great execution, but still fun anyways.

haha this is so funny
