[WIP] Hexagon APK + DK2 version

HelloMeow

Hi!

Here's what I've been working on.




ChallengePost page

Get the current version here:
Hexagon.apk
Hexagon.zip DK2 version

Hexagon is a twin stick shooter, where every single element of the game is synced to the song you're listening to. The game lets you pick a song and then stuff happens to the beat. You can pick any mp3 file on the device, or choose one of the included demo songs.

You control a simple hexagon. Avoid enemies, which spawn on and react to the beat. As the song's intensity increases, so does the number of enemies. Score points by shooting at them with bullets that are synced to the music.

The game has a clean and minimalistic look, with effects and a perspective that enhance the virtual-reality experience. As changes in the music are detected, color schemes and the point of view of the camera will shift.

The goal of Hexagon is to blend gameplay, music and VR together in a fun game.

New video!




I've added and polished the hud and UI, as well as fine tuned some of the music analysis stuff. I've also added a ton of subtle effects that make things more smooth.

Still on the to-do list:

  • different enemy types

  • enemy spawn patterns that react to changes in the music

  • dynamic effects in the environment

Not sure if I can get any of those to work well enough to put them in the game. in time

I've got a new build of Hexagon ready. I hope it works. The last version did, but I've changed a lot of stuff.

I just played it, it found my music right away, controls great with moga hero on "B" setting. Its very hard, but i think thats a good thing, are their going to be power ups? Anyways looking forward to how it grows in the jam. Goodluck.

Thanks for giving it a go. I've been messing around with a pickup that lets you ram enemies to death, which is a lot of fun. Not quite sure yet how and when it will pop up in the game.

I've made a subtle skybox, that really helps giving the game some depth.

I've been experimenting with a lot of stuff that I wanted to add, but I haven't managed to get any of it up to par with the rest of the game. I'm talking about enemy types, enemy spawn patterns and the dynamic effects.

I think I'm going to put those things on hold while I polish and refine the game as it is right now. I wish we had another month to work on our projects. 🙂

Here's the final-ish build for now. Any help with testing to see if it works would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

I don't have a gamepad but I tested it out for you anyway. Loads and runs well. I found the menu a little too close for my liking.

Thanks Bino!

Here's the final build. It's exactly the same as the last build, but I forgot to disable some inefficient debugging stuff.

Works fine 🙂 It's a pity that I dont have a controller, I want to play your game so badly.

Thanks for testing the game, MephestoKhaan.

I've been working on a DK2 port. It took a bit more time than I thought.
