Very fun but i cannot play it more than one level because of two things which i hope you can fix before the deadline:
not azerty friendly so my eu keyboard and my eu hands have to do the crab to move around (ZQSD to move would be great) and also the sensitivity is way too high, i hope you can have a option to reduce the sensitivity cause other than that for the quick look i had at it, it seemed very promising !!
Got to beat it in one go and got all the stars after the post jam update !! Worth the second place and joel will have a lot of fun with it, one thing i'd wish it had was mouse sensitivity option and a map (like old doom/quake) button but other than that, good work !!
Really neat take on the boomshoot genre! Even this version made in two weeks for a game jam kinda rules. I particularly really like how the regenerating ammo is tied to your pistol weapon as a way to keep it relevant beyond the first five minutes. Really adds a lot to the whole resource management aspect of the genre.
Thanks! I feel like I kinda shot myself in the foot by having it tied to one-handed guns when you spend most of the game using the shotgun / machine gun / mortar so I'm desperately trying to figure out a way to keep it relevant. But maybe that's gonna have to wait until later on when I can add more one-handed weapons + different radiation powers - I wanna at least have some big bomb thing that uses a LOT of radiation ammo because right now you barely risk running out of radiation ammo unless you're purposefully trying to ONLY use that, so the resource management is pretty much a non-issue. (Likewise I think I'm gonna have to tweak enemy ammo drops in some way because you're absolutely swimming in the stuff right now)
Also as a side note: people making Game Makers 3D sing for them like this is always wild to me given it felt like staring directly into hell with my little experiments lmao
Yeah, you really gotta learn EVERYTHING in order to make a 3D game in GM these days <__<
Them getting rid of the d3d_draw_shape functions and forcing you to set up a vertex format, construct a static vertex buffer etc makes it like 100 times harder than it used to be in the GM6/8 days... and most of the lightning/fog stuff is broken so you need to learn shaders as well if you wanna make things look good...

Derp, thanks to timezone shenanigans I kinda missed the deadline ^^'
But yeah, options/customizability wasn't really a priority during the jam but it's gonna be the first thing I work on after!

A map will be complicated (anything far enough to be hidden by the fog is completely unloaded to save processing power) but I'll see what I can do!
And whoops, I had mouse sensitivity on the todo list but forgot about it... gotta get around to do that ASAP...
holy shoot its actually good
good game

Super excited to see where this gets taken!
