There’ll be a much more formal “hey look, a new game!” post tomorrow, but I would like to fall on my face, which interferes with my ability to write one now.
I beat the Ludum Dare challenge. In just 48 hours, I made a full game. All the code. All the art. All the writing. All the sound. (There isn’t any sound.)
Sure, it’s game jam quality – but you can learn how to play it, start it, win it, lose it, and hopefully have some fun with it.
Play Help! It’s A Hero! (online – Unity player needed)
…or download it for
Windows (windowed mode recommended – fullscreen is not working correctly)
OS/X
Linux
Congrats! However, when I try to play the game, I just get a black screen with “Unity Web Player | Help, It’s A Hero!” at the top and “« created with Unity »” at the bottom. This is both in Firefox 40 and Chromium 44, using Ubuntu 15.04. Any tips?
Thank you!
Technical difficulties – lessee.
Normally, Unity would ask you to install the Unity player. I will tentatively hypothesize that you have a popup blocker that is preventing it from asking you this.
I put together a Linux build here: http://www.sibylmoon.com/ludumdare33/linux/hero_linux.rar but I haven’t been able to test it yet, as my system is Windows-only. The Windows build doesn’t run correctly unless it’s in windowed mode, and I’m a little concerned Linux will have something similar going on.
Turns out the Unity player only works for Windows and Mac. Rats!
Added download links for the other systems above.
The Linux version works for me (once I set the main file to executable). Nice! Even the scary monster is cute. ;-)
Glad you liked it! :)
