The mini game is starting now. Players who wish to participate have until Saturday, midnight (pacific time), to make the bigest score. They wil be able to monitor their placement in real time trhough the in-game leaderboard (if you allow your firewall to let the game do so) that show the current 6 best positions.
1rst pos will win 4000 gold coins
2nd pos will win 2000 gold coins
3rd pos will win 1000 gold coins
More details can be found in the attachement as to how to run the game and validate your score, thus being able to claim your prize.
As someone did bring it to my attention, the intended fact (to avoid spam) that the reset button do not save the score of the current session is in the manual provided as an attachement to this post. I also mention it here for more clarity, and thank to Sadrien for the feedback.
Interesting game. The controls are quite wonky on my system, jump isn’t working at all and the movement is sporadic (sometimes the turns don’t work that well, if I stop moving forward sometimes he will get “stuck” for a second when I try to start again). still though it was enjoyable.
The range on some of the skills seems a little short, but I might just be over estimating the hit box of the enemies.
It’s not really the controls (except for the missing jump function), but the “walls” that the character keeps on getting stuck in. That was probably the primary reason for my deaths. Oh and the fact that there is such a thing as range, but no such thing as line of sight is a bit of a bummer. Took me a while to figure out why those long range enemies kept on killing me, despite me hiding behind the staircase.
All in all the game was fun. I haven’t had to kite this much in Dark Souls.
@OriOri: in fact you cant jump. It’s just that i didnt think of removing the associated input configuration that will be used for another project
@Iridium: true, i used Unity Physics system instead of a custom one, but if i want to join the club of people who know Unity i have to learn these things that should improve over time. I knew from the start that Unity recommend to not set the velocity but apply forces instead to allow smooth slides along walls but then, since anet couldnt provide any asset package for fans, i turned my attention to modeling/texturing/animating where i dedicated 99% of my time (and in the process learned from scratch to use Blender, and rigg, and animate).
That was a one time applet, but you never know….
That said i have to keep my promise and let the link active to download the project for whoever would want to reuse part or the totality of the Unity project. Speaking of wich, i have to submit on the google drive the latest version, the one that include the leaderboard and validation code sources. I will do this some time later this day.
And as promised:
MINI GAME STRATEGY GUIDE
—————————————————————-
- Identify the greatest threat among the spawns (the GW1 shadow beast)
- Always keep one of the following skills recharged when a shadow beast is soon to spawn: Consume Conditions, or “Suffer!”
- Unless emergency, do not use these skills until the Shadow beast used Feast Of Corruption on you
- Creatures are mostly melee: bunch them up to cripple them and make the most out of Epidemic. Try to have the shadow beast as the center of Epidemic
- Chill the shadow beast to slow down the recharge of its skills
I will soon submit the unity project that have the leaderboard and validation code now that the last entry reclaimed its prize. Be aware, thought, that since it require a server to store the scores, the adress of the one that was used will be blanked out in the sources provided. You must effectively provide your own server to host your datas.
. if you added a second range spawn guy i think game would of been a lot harder.
