LD37 — One room

Thanks for the comment! :D Yeah the the torches were intentional. I think they were almost too sturdy, I actually should've made them easier to knock down.

Originally you were throwing torches around instead of matches, and it was actually more fun. It would've completely broken the game and I couldn't come up with a better gameplay idea in the allotted time. Though in all fairness, I should've kept the torches in regardless, because it was more fun.

Haha, yeah, everything is made out of wood, would've actually been nice to add some sort of stain decal that the fire would've created everywhere. Maybe I'll add that in the post-LD version!

Thanks! Nice to see that people enjoy the atmosphere :)

Yeah, I've I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the collision. The colliders are there and objects never go fast enough to completely clip through, in theory anyway. Didn't feel it was a huge issue since you can survive even just on 2 torches. I'll look into fixing it for the post-LD version.

@qristofer
Hey, thanks! I was actually most concerned with the gameplay, since it's not necessarily a game I'd personally want to play, but due to the time limitations I think I got most of everything done to support it. I had some bonus ideas like time attack mode for lighting all torches and a random starting location. Glad the atmosphere ended up okay :)

@martincohen
Thank you :)

@Sean
Thanks for the compliments. Yeah, I personally wasn't fond of the main gameplay mechanic, either, but I just went ahead with it so I could at least produce something. Definitely need to prepare better for the next LD, think about the possibilities for all themes :D For the theme, I think it just barely hits the mark. It's basically a reverse Thief game that takes place only a single room. It's a bit of a stretch :D

Huge thanks to everyone for the comments. At least one aspect of my game worked really well. Also I think I'll survive the next LD with better results, knowing I should definitely spend some time thinking about the themes and gameplay implications for them. Cheers!

Really like the visuals, reminds me of AITD.

Well, let's do this! hopefully I have a more sensible setup this time than the last two (which I missed). I guess the December LD is becoming an annual thing for me :D
