Hey all,

Some people might know me from IRC or other places I hang out on the m2k2 servers. I recently created a game that I hope you guys will check out and support my. The game was made in 25 days from start to finish with a budget of $0. The game was made for the Kongregate Unity game competition, so please vote 5 stars for it!

At the initial time of this post this is the demo version, and more levels are in the works!

Check it out! http://www.kongregate.com/games/MercuryOG/3d-text-adventure

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

It looked OK to me. A few issues, some of which you're probably aware of:

The camera is awful. With no control over it, you cannot see any of the corners of any room / corridor you enter. Also, turning around is almost impossible - you have to do a massive circle for the camera to adjust.
Combat feels broken, as you don't have any obvious indications as to whether you're hitting things or not.
Although this is a text adventure, reading the text breaks your focus on the screen. The two ides seem incompatible...

right click can help camera change focus to you. i know the camera is a slight problem, not much time was spent on the controls for a camera, because of the development time. maybe i should just force the orbit behind the player; definitely don't want the focus of the game being who can rotate the camera to a specific angle and win.

when you hit something it makes a noise and a message appears in the console. the collision for a swing is checked once so if you miss, you miss for that swing.

the game can be played without the console almost entirely.
