Finished!
More details about the game Tomorrow… need to go to sleep now.
Good Luck! There’s gonna be some amazing entries
Hey all we’ve added a few community donated items! Check the original post for updated prizes
Best of luck to!!
Our game is standing on the shoulders of the giant…that is…unreal engine…
**** yeah.
Hey, this is great, thank you!
But… What is “growler”? I don’t mean to look a gifted horse in the teeth, but I hope it is not what the Urban Dictionary suggests.
I’m not sure either. Google Image Search suggests it’s a beverage vessel of some kind???

Out of all the prizes, I kind of want the growler
Yeah, seriously. I would take this over the Titan X, no joke. Well, probably not if you put both infront of me, but, if someone was like “sorry you can’t have the Titan X, have this instead” I’d be happy.
I added the video for you now. I hope you’ll like it
Well, it seems that I will need to withdraw from the competition. Lack of sleep, and the fact that I was put on-call for the week on Friday. It’s always nice of work to call me up on Friday and tell me that I am on call for the week (our week starts on Saturday). A few times over the week I had to pull over on the highway for some Zzzz, heh.
Anyways, while I am bowing out of the competition, I am doing so with 3/5 goals accomplished. Heavy VR optimizations? Check. Character animations / control? Check, Lighting / Lighting tricks? Check. Sadly, the other two goals which I had hoped for I did not get to. AI, and shipping. Oh well. But such is life.
One thing though, I think that even if I completed my game, reading the post about “nudity” may have made my game ineligble for the Game jam, since it was based on the Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) universe. Giants without genetalia… but still naked giants. Tsch.
So I will leave some screenshots from what I was able to accomplish in the short amount of time that I was able to put into the game. Keep in mind that every level plays at above 90 FPS in VR using the Oculus Rift!

Arena (The actual game, the idea was that you and the AI would be playing a pac-man of sorts, find each other in the maze to eliminate the opponennt. Since the “game-board” is so small, there is a TV that was going to follow your character. An idea about the sense of scale… with you standing on the giant’s shoulder, you come up to just above his eye height.):

Can’t say I blame him. The Growler is the top prize . I’d really like one
(I just learnt what one was today as well)
that would be epic to bring to work and plop on the break table.
So anybody else has a scrapped project they want to show. My first idea was to make a flight simulator where you gain more parts to build your plane by reading books on flight and aerodynamics. Starting from Newton all the way to modern aircraft. 4 days into the jam I made the decision to kill this project due to the number of assets that I still needed to create and tuning the physics.

So on monday I started fresh built Omnitron, my actual submission.
Howdy!

Sadly, I’m not finishing game jam this time. I spent way too much time thinking of the theme and while I could have just quickly thrown in something, it wouldn’t have been up to my own standards (and I surely don’t want to participate with something I’m not proud of myself).
Final hours before deadline now, hope people still crunching on this will not get too many last minute issues
Just a heads up! We’re locking the submission thread after the livestream today. Submit your project before it’s over
Links with incomplete uploads are okay to submit, as we’re going to pulls e submissions this evening to take slower upload speeds into consideration for those that have trouble with uploads.
STOKED!
Starting the pre-jam playthrough stream where all I do is just download things and talk to myself.

Congratulations!
Your game looks pretty sweet!
Congratulations Jonathan for completing the game which looks very polished! I’d say polish on the HUD and it’s ready for mobile game! Have you tried to load on your phone and see how it performs?
