Bad weekend for a jam indeed. I might have like 5-6 hours total for my project.
So far I could find a couple of hors today and here´s my progress so far.
It is all about love. So I´m working on a twinstick runner. You must keep the cubes together, avoid obstacles, or love distractions that could keep them apart. The longer they are together, the more points (love) they get, but keep them separated too long and their love will fall apart.
Unfortunately, I’m not going to get my entry in time. Hopefully, I’ll see the announcement earlier for the next game jam. In an honour of my entry that will never be, here are some love heart particles.
I think I nailed the battlefield part of the theme, I’m not so sure about the love part. Ah well, I had quite a bit of fun with this one and figured out quite a few little tricks for the future. Most of the assets, save a few that I had lying around, came from Epics example projects, the music was from Incomtech. The glitchy physics, camera, movement, lighting and weird architectural layout was all me though. I kept it nice and simple this time and just made it launch directly into the game, no menus, no fuss. Definitely an idea I’m going to roll with in the future. Anyway, enjoy.
Controls:
WASD: Move
LMB: Fire heart arrow
RMB: Fire explosive arrow
You play as an overly-competitive cherub who’s out to “heart” as many humans as possible and has no qualms about eliminating his competition with his non-standard-issue arrows. It’s really silly.
Usually our game ideas expand and mutate until they’re far too large in scope, so we wanted to use this opportunity (as our first game jam) to see if we could actually make a quick game.
edit:
If anyone intrested in code, most of it on github in ActionRPGGame repo.
Though, to day (Monday), there were some crashes discovered, which crash this game, it’s still was worthy, I at least have been able to somewhat improve my code base with bug stomping :D.
How to play:
Shoot the enemy tanks with love to destroy them and gain points. Killing a tank restores some health. Be sure to manage your ammo, though as it’s limited.
Issues: Post game score doesn’t show the actual score.
Didn’t have as much time as I wanted with having to do some snow shoveling (curse you winter!). Much thanks to my friend Crabbo for help with the AI and Dyce for the Models.

So in my Game “Love Arena” you fly arround as a heart .
And you have a box where your dolls run around .
Those dolls are getting more and more sad if you dont love them, once they are really sad they try to commit suicide and run into the fire house.
Loved dolls are red and unloved blue.
Love as many dolls as you can!!
Movement : WASD
Shoot by pointing and clicking
Key 1 : Shoot Hearts
Key 2 : Place Heart Bombs
I also integraded steam so you can join other peoples games and save the dolls together.
Keep in mind i am not an Artist and I only had a few hours work Time
@Alexotronic, your videos will package correctly if you place them in your project’s /Content/Movies folder and link them into the game from there! Then people don’t have to install into a specific folder
