Work In Progress - Underwater competition! (New Deadline July 1)

I will enter this

 

Cool! Damn! Awesome! Ohno!

Aha, these are my initial reactions. I love the idea, but am just trying to finish development of my little game (Journeyballs). Will see if I can manage to participate anyway

 

I am probably not going to enter becouse i dont have time, but just out of curiousity what are exactly requirements to enter competition? Scene, model, textures, game? Which of those?

 

As janpec has stated, what are the requirements? tris count amount, this is for scene, characters (monsters tris count amount. ect) what are the texture resolution we can use? And how many texture maps can we use?

The biggest one I would like to ask is, can we have teams of 2? So programmer and a modeler/texture artist.

 

im in! exelent chance to train my programming skills, btw does 2d count?

 

one more question, do we have to own the license for the programms used? for example i want to use maya student version for my game am i allowed?

 

I dont think that you need as long as you are not selling the thing you made.

 

I'll try find some time to enter this. Pixel art meybehh

Nice hand_painted model competition would be cool .

 

good to know!
im going to make a 2d game! almost everything on my head! it´s time to write it down!

 

I'm unclear if stramit you are representing Unity Tech or are a `fellow community member`, and if you do represent Unity Tech, how about a Unity Pro license as the prize, or something?

 

How about re-using pre-existing stuff. I have an underwater game I whipped up a while back. If I changed some of the mechanics and re-did the graphics would that be enough for an entry?

I think this contest is about fun, not about purely submitting something. If I can vote for it, I believe we should submit only completely new stuff

 

All good built something else instead.

 

Posted a couple ideas on my dev blog - am going for a 2/3 days game, named "Below"
Unity underwater challenge: ideas for a 2/3 days game

 

So any incite to what anyone else is doing?

I will be making a game(hopefully if i get time ) It will be a frog that has to cross a river(side scroller) it does it automaticaly and does laps you as the player will need to use bubbles that sit on the bottom to give it air(once you click them they float up)

But i have exams soon and I'm way behind on my school so only if i get time but i picked a small game so i could do it quick hopefully ill knock it off on Saturday.

I think unity should sponsor this and future competitions, stramit you should add a poll on the OP so we can petition to get prizes for community competitions.

Oh and this is the frog sprite(sorry for the blur i used some online tool for the GIF)

 

Uhh. All it is is a blur O.O.. Cant see a fwooggy

 

cool but does that count as underwater?

 

competition sounds great, i didn't see anything regarding deadline?

 

June 20 (mentioned in first post).

 

Yes because he is swimming underneath the water

This is an update on the frog sprite:

 

I have a question, is this underwater enough?

 

Looking cool titanty.

 

I think the frog should be 7 pixels downer to be considered underwater

 

Just want to show you something that may help you speed up the development.
I took your sea texture and placed it into gimp and went to filters/animations there you can find one pretty helpful filter which replicates wave effect and I applied it onto your image and here is the result.

 

cool! both mine and your game are pixalated


im going to post some wip of my game too

 

here it is!

the game is basicly like that, when you eat a certain ammount, you envolve into another specie, like from fish to frog

should i post a webplayer? or better wait untill finished product?

 

If you make a model, do it need to be rigged / animated, or can we just make and paint a model for the contest? The last one is far much easier task for the contest.

 

I'm in! Sounds fun!

 

I guess that makes three of us. I'll post some WIP soon.

 

can´t wait for your pictures!

this contest is getting really awsome

 

Count me in!

 

Sounds interesting... I hope I will have the time.

 

An update:

And a link to the webplayer, you cant do anything but its animated etc

 

@titanty

Surely if you are doing pixel graphics then you should only move things by full 'pixels' the smooth scrolling water and clouds just don't fit at all and I have never seen water move quite like that, its like a reverse waterfall.

 

Just flushing out some gameplay ideas for this contest, so far this is what I made yesterday, just using placeholders. Screen shot and webplayer demo linked below.




Mouse 1 fires, arrow keys move it left and right.

Added some blue fog to the camera, and some bubbles using the particle system to give it more of an underwater effect. Still need to add some waves effects, enemy movement patterns, enemy shooting and of course the models for the objects. Webplayer and screen shot below.

@Chris Aoki: don't know if it's intended behavior that still needs to be fully implemented, but sometimes a cube fell over me. Also, I'd suggest to give the gameplay some "underwater" characteristic instead than just the background, otherwise it would just look like Space Invaders with a different background

 

I've just implemented a system where the enemies charge at the player and then return to it's original position, but haven't implemented any player death yet, and the background is just a place holder for now.

 

when is this contest over? i hope we still have a bit of time

 

June 20, so go for it

 

Hi everyone! Here's what I have so far. Please try it out! It's a submarine exploration game. The submarine is capable of 5 axis movement (no vertical up/down, but everything else). It's all physics driven. The sub even has an autoleveling feature, bouyancy and there is current drift. I have the basic version of Unity so I had to fake the caustics from the water overhead. I'm also fairly proud of the sub's shadow. It's a simple blob projection shadow, but I've got it to deform correctly to mimic the sub as it moves.

So anyway, check it out. the sub is equipped a net launcher. Use this to try and capture the turtles. You're rescuing them! Because there are giant turtle- and sub- eating eels as well as nasty jelly fish out there! Well, I didn't include them in this build, but they are in progress.

BTW, if anybody would like to make me some nice underwater terrain to explore, that'd be really boss!

Play!

 

cool that means i still got a lot of time!

@MadRobot
the game looks nice!

And now a wip of my game!

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44674918/Wa...ess Pre-alpha V0.0.1/WebPlayer/WebPlayer.html

i added death + sharks!

controlls are : arrow up, arrow down

try not to hit anything!

 

Nice work.... but the only thing that bugs me is the speed of the shark, theres no way of seeing him, and almost no time to react, id suggest making him a bit slower.
