A game made in Unity using HDRP

Theme

This game was written for the GMTK game jam, with the theme Joined Together

Story

You play as "Gamer Girl", and your objective is to transport yourself through the link of your ancestors minds into the past and future to find and rescue important figures in your families bloodline. Join forces with your family to defeat the ones trying to erase existence!

Gameplay

When you spawn in, you'll be put in the main atrium. Here is where all the doors are located to transpose youself through time. By walking to a door, you'll be transported to the time, and will be put in the world.

When inside of the world, you have different objectives to complete. These take the form of an XCOM style game, where you have to complete challenges before you escape the scene.

Developer Comments

Due to the restrictions of personal life, we didn't get as much done as we'd have hoped for initally. Firstly, the only door in the main room that works is the one that's tinted blue. Secondly, when doing the XCOM style gameplay, once you've evacuated all the required people, then the game will continue and not stop, so you will have to exit the game at this point yourself manually. Lastly, the game doesn't have a way of closing itself, so you will need to do Alt+F4/Command+Q to exit the game.


What we did well

  • The use of HDRP to make a visually appealing game
  • The storyline, while not fleshed out very well in reality, had great potential to be an interesting take on the theme given
  • The construction of the game itself would have made it easy enough to add extra levels/features given we were able to finish other things quicker
  • Great use of mechanim/Timeline/animations in Unity, using up to date technology

What we would do better next time

  • Manage our time slightly better
  • Devote more time to core mechanics vs the aesthetics of the game
  • Distribute the team members better to make use of their abilities
