Description:
LUX is a game of light, the balance and creative usage of whilst trying to escape your classic retro dungeon crawler, alongside completing puzzles and avoiding deadly traps and monsters.

Controls:

To complete the game you need to fight your way through the dungeon, lighting the specific braziers to open doors and find your way to and defeat the boss.

*Full disclosure: We can make it to the boss but die everytime facing him.

Good Luck!*

YouTube playthru with timestamps: 2017 Epic Game MegaJam playthrough - YouTube

We finally had some time to create a trailer for our entry, so I thought it might be about time to actually add our game to this thread.

Multiple Realities

Team:
Bas van Nuland
Arne Bezuijen

Description:
Multiple Realities is a VR/AR crossplatform multiplayer game.

Two players need to work together to solve a puzzle. One player moves around in the VR world. This player needs to find puzzle pieces and put them together. The other player can see the VR player’s movements in the AR environment on their phone. This player can also influence the VR world by moving around their phone to control a spotlight in the VR world.

All art is custom made, but we did use the Augmented Unreality AR plugin (github.com/adynathos/AugmentedUnreality). We would have liked to use ARCore but as the game already required a VR headset we didn’t want to limit out audience further by also requiring one of the very few phones that currently support ARCore.

My Very Own Light, by The Wild Games

Here is our submission with few improvements:

And here is a quick teaser done with the original version:

Vincent Jumelet has done the main character, his “lantern”, interface visuals and has chosen and slightly remixed the music (The Ninth Crewman from Patrick de Arteaga), I’ve done the rest.

Cheers!

Summary
Aliens have invaded the city and the military is pulling out of this district. Your squad has been tasked with rescuing as many civilians as possible before calling in the last evacuation helicopter. Sneak around the dark city and find the civilians, defend them with your rifle, lead them to safety and summon your ride to freedom!

A new city district is procedurally generated every time you play!

Handcrafted, MegaJam 2017 unique soldier, alien and civilian models.

Preview

Controls
Move: Left-click on the ground
Attack: Troops will automatically attack aliens they see.
Stop/Start Follow: Click the button in the bottom-right to toggle whether the civilians follow you or wait.
Call Helicopter: Click the button in the bottom-left to throw a smoke grenade, then wait for the helicopter to land. Anyone standing very close to the helicopter will be rescued, including your squad! (There is no indicator to show whether they are close enough, better squeeze in!)

Downloading and Running
Click here to download the game from the official link (where I forgot to zip it first), then click on the name of the folder ‘RedTentacleGames_TheLastLight’ and select Download from the drop-down menu. The folder will be zipped and downloaded. To play the game, unzip the folder and then double-click the executable file, RedTentacleGames_TheLastLight.exe.

Click here to download the game already zipped version (but otherwise exactly as the official link). To play the game, unzip the folder and then double-click the executable file, RedTentacleGames_TheLastLight.exe.

Known Issues
-The military drop beacons are inaccurate and sometimes result in the squad spawning inside a building. Squad may appear half-inside and half-outside of a building and may be unresponsive. If this bug occurs when the game starts, please restart the game.

-Some aliens seem to be able to evade notice entirely, after having already been spotted by the squad. Sometimes, if the squad all lose sight of an enemy squad, they may be unable to re-acquire that squad as a target in the future. There is no fix for this issue, simply try to avoid that squad.

-Civilians are petrified, too scared even to follow the safety of the squad! Sometimes a civilian squad will be unable to see a squad. Sometimes this is indefinite and the civilians should be left behind, other times they may follow as the squad leaves and should work properly after that.

The linked version of the game, is not the same as the version of the game that I have submitted for the competition. In this version I have fixed a lot of bugs, and I have made some small changes to the visual appearance.

Ghost Problems: Halloween Leftovers
Developer: Gamejaxx (1 member)

Download Link: GhostProblemsHalloweenLeftovers.rar - Google Drive

Story: It’s a week after Halloween, but some ghosts decided to stick around in an abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere. You’re a ghost exterminator, and your job is to kill all the ghosts before exiting. It’s fairly dark, so you need to use your weapon to light the way.

This is a fairly simple run-n-gun FPS with one weapon, one level, and one enemy type. It’s also the first game I’ve completed.

UETOPIA : REACTOR7

My very first game jam entry! Thanks for the opportunity!

This is a king of the hill type shooter game.

Game play video footage:

Play REACTOR7

Please note that this is a multiplayer game that uses authentication ( to keep track of score and rank) , and regional matchmaker ( to connect players on low ping servers ).

Bring a friend, and set your regions to be the same. Hit 1v1 and matchmaker will connect you in the same match.

Nobody in queue? Grab me (Element) in discord. I’ll play a round with you.

did not know about this page silly me, so i don’t think so many of you have seen my game but here it is and it’s pretty funny

Congrats on the win, shame that you’ve clearly been working on this for months, as can be seen on your YT channel. But congrats though, for taking the chance away from someone that might have legit only been working really hard for the jam week, as per the valid entry conditions.
