looks cool and promising but I'm confused and idk what to do in this game lol
The game looks and feels nice to play, but I was very lost about what I was supposed to be doing? Other than that, its a nice game!
Game loop is pretty boring as of now, u just work on making the sheep flock grow by using sprint to push them onto the trees and let them eat the tree, kinda ran out of time to make something more in depth
This is weird in all the right ways. It felt like playing Slime Rancher on magic mushrooms. Using a vacuum cleaner for space travel and the monkey-ball-sheep were also funny features. I am curious how you made the gravity system around the ringworld? It seems interesting.
This game also reminded me that I need to add "Ringworld" and "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" to my game, thanks!
Thanks, Im glad you saw the slime rancher angle, I have never played slime rancher but anytime i see it played I think it looks cool and wanted to build something that got the vibe.
How I do the ring gravity is with Area3D node has a feature to control gravity off rigid body's The player is a rigid body that auto orients to stand with gravity direction, For the rig I broke it into 32 face (wish I was smart and did 30) and each face has a gravity point, allowing the player to walk around. The sheep are also just rigid body and role around.
I have kept working on the project to make it more fun and not just interesting it would be nice to have your input if you would be down as this seems to be something that you have valuable insight int, hmu if so
So as I understood it, you just roll the sheep around, making them consume the energy, and that's the whole game. The visuals are impressive, physics stuff is good, but it's not a lot of fun, and I'm not sure it's related to the topic of the jam. Maybe you could add some enemies or something.
Yea, the game play loop is pretty lacking. The outplace theme is that they are sheep in space
whoaa its so trippy and cool! I really like the sheep in the orbs, nice work, the controller feels nice
Thank you! I am not fully satisfied with the controller it feels to floaty but I had to budget time
Cozy game you have. Took me a while to understand that the sheeps gotta eat the trees. Would have been lovely to have a more detailed tutorial put somewhere.
PS: Love the custom rigid body controller. Keep it up!
I thought about adding more of a tut, but I figured there was not to much harm in letting the player walk around and look around for a bit
Super cool effect walking around the ring, pretty good showcase of your physics controller! Nice!
Thanks im going to work on fixed some of the bugs I noticed with it recently while putting it through test
great graphics and audio, nicely done.
Ty loved your project btw so far it has been the one I had the most fun with
The physics effects are pretty good, but I'm a bit confused😳
Tbh its kinda lacking in game play loop you just get more sheep, also something I have noticed is that the physics function a bit diff in browser.
In terms of mechanics the sheep loose health before slowly and eat the nature spots, the nature spots also lose energy overtime and have 4 diff types, that all look pretty same that have different amounts of energy. the goal is to get as many sheep as possible.
Sheep will die if they go into the vacuum alone for 10s and the player can get stuck in the vacuum being that the hoover dose not recharge in 0 gravity.
Asteroids where supposed to spawn nature seeds on them that could be brought back to get more energy. However that was never really go added.
