[Comp G] Falling Sands Factory

critic

Aaaa, why is it not the 10th?

Falling Sands Factory is a game using physics where you need to channel sand down to the bottom of the level. Only tool at the players' disposal is a conveyor belt, not really sure about much else at this point, thinking about adding special items that make the level segments a bit more interesting. I don't think I will be able to finish this in time for the deadline.

Nice! looks very much like lemmings style of play.

No build?

critic

Sorry, updated the OP with download link.

Fengol

It's a pity you didn't get further than the first level. It very much is a lemmings prototype and we need more of those

critic

I'm most probably going to keep working on it.

Fengol

I had fun making this video although I struggled sometimes to make a conveyor belt

critic

LOL, why would you massacre it like that @Fengol, there are deadzones where you can't place the belts, looking at what you did, I should probably not allow belts to intersect. Oh, there is more of the level below if you click the right mouse button and drag.

Fengol

Cause I like to test things?

Maybe in future when the level is bigger than the screen,before the player is let loose; make the camera pan over the whole level so they know there's more then

critic

It's still very early in development, panning does sound like a nice way to do it though, there is a readme in the zip with the instructions, thought that would be enough for such an early build.

Fengol

Who reads manuals these days? :P

critic

But you are in deep shit if you don't have one, right? ;)
