[WIP] Gravition

Hello!

I'm here to present you my FPS puzzle game: Gravition.

It's a portal like game where you have to go from A point to B point.
To do that, you have to resolve puzzles with gravity.

There is a map editor in the game that let you create some maps and share it!

Some screenshots and explanations:

Yellow cubes are gravity changers.


Red cubes are affected by gravity.


The objective.


A point light represented by a cube.


Green cubes are bouncing cubes.


That's all for the moment.
Here is the link for the game (no webplayer cause of export/import map in txt file):

Maybe compile a Mac and Linux version? You don't have to do it for every build but at least for major ones... When I try running it on my mac, it doesn't show the text in the pause menu...

 

Hey, I stopped the game because this gameplay already exists, the game is called Inverto...

 

Who says you can't do something better with the idea?

 

I don't think I have the right to take the mechanic of an existing game?

 

Well that'd be 99.9% of all RPG's, FPS's, MMO's, RTS and 2D games screwed.

 

I just wanted to give support to you to consider continuing development of this game. Reusing a game mechanic in your game isn't considered bad - in my opinion. Especially if you iterate on the idea as carking suggested.
This isn't 'bad' or bad practice - compared to people who steal other peoples complete game idea and use the characters, logos, world, story and theme.
I'm sure you could come up with some change in the mechanic, or an adaption to how it was used in the other game.

As ShadowK stated - if you are opposed to using a certain mechanic idea that was used in another game, you are going to have a real hard time coming up with a totally unique mechanic that has never ever been used before - ever.

 

In my opinion you should continue, it's like for any game actually, who said people aren't allowed to make a FPS, look at BF and COD, they're the same! (Gimme the hate!) But c'mon this game is really interesting!



EDIT: I'm even more supporting because Inverto is $3.99

 

Okey thank you guys, i'll continue the game then
I was full of ideas for the rest of the development.

 

The new design.
Now i'll start the real changes like:
-Making multiple scenes with the checkpoints
-Link objects together (i.e: activate an object when trigger)
-Change UI
