[Dev Log] Shoehorning 3d/ where it should not bee/ Gamemaker y'see?

[z_bill]

I'm continuing my experiment from last wizjam!

 

I have big ole plans for this game, but there is a secret to it all that I don't wanna reveal yet. So right now I'm just tooling around with 3d in GMS2 like a fool!

 

 

Here is where you find a spoocegate and must navigate a spoocemaze to get the requisite spooce. And of course we all know this to be an extended reference to OddWorld Munch's Oddysee. You knew that right...? *ahem*

 

I do want to finish the full project and doubt I can do so in the alotted 2 weeks, but I maaaay continue straight on after depending on how much I can get done during jamtimes.

 

Good luck, jamsmen!

[Zirrrus]

Ah, cool, I was hoping you'd keep going with this. Looks even better now!

[atte]

Very cool to see your style in this 3D/voxel environment. Can't wait to get lost in those ominous labyrinthine corridors

[Travis]

Excited to see this continue!

 

You might change your HUD font slightly so the "C" is definitely not read as a "G" in SPOOCE. (Unless that is intentional?)

[z_bill]

Thanks everyone!

 

Ya, that's where my mind went when I played Munch's Oddysee back in the day too! Does it actually look like a G or is it the power of suggestion? Haha! I did make the font though so it's not perfect. It's fine if they see that. I think, at the least, it's meant to be a goofy word for a thing to collect.

 

I should have more later today!

[z_bill]

Game is going amazingly well. Getting lots of stuff in...but a lot of it is not showy or is kinda spoilery stuff about the mechanics/puzzles.

 

I think during the jam I'll be able to finish 

Spoiler

the 3d part of the game...why are you reading spoilers! 

 

You can now pick up and drop stuff! 

 

 

It was a flute but I said "pipe" because I couldn't resist this dumb art joke (will make a little more sense in the game context).

 

It also looks like a key which turns into an unintentional hint!

 

I'm making a first person game and my first idea was to make it a graphic adventure, ha.

[theschap]

I still don't understand the magic of 3D in GameMaker, but your color palette and lighting here are so good.

[phill]

Yeah I'm still in awe of anyone that can do 3D in GMS. I love the look of this! And that is totally not a pipe by the way (hur hur).

[z_bill]

Ok ok...I gotta get rolling on this.

 

Here is a bone sea! 

 

Also this tower is involved in some mysterious way...

 

I won't finish this by the deadline, but may be trying to wake up the #wizardjam community in a few weeks/months time for a release at a decidedly non-Wizard time...As I'm into this right now, and want to finish it!

Ha, yeah...my joke there is basically: "Art!....get it?" and I have no idea why or even if it's a real joke, but I can't not do it. A slave to art, me.

Bone Sea is the name of my new heavy metal band

[z_bill]

er....is it weird to keep posting here if I seemingly have no respect for the actual Wizard Jam dates anymore, haha? I guess this game is connected to the jam, even when the jam isn't happening?

 

Here's a robot in a rowboat.

 

[Ben X]

Please keep posting about it here! Looks really cool!

[phill]

What Ben said!

[nkornek]

Is that robot made of 2D sprites that were rendered off of a voxel model? The effect is kind of unsettling and awesome.

That's right! The rowboat and robot (and the skulls/bones) are 2d sprites made in a voxel program, Magicka3d, which is also where I made the 3d models I imported for the walls, non-roboted rowboat, dock, etc. 

 

I'll keep posting here and may actually be pretty close to a release!
