I started this game project back in late August, but it took me until yesterday to finally bring the 3d code to a point I'm happy with. I'm releasing what I have now as a standalone tech demo, whereas the game I have under development (which will evolve from this tech demo) will hopefully be released one day...

All the game code for this can be found in source/game/game.c. The exe is in the bin folder and it should work fine in Mednafen and in real hardware. There's no polygon subdivision currently and it runs like dog water but those are problems for future me to solve :v

Controls (must use controller with analog sticks):
Left Stick - movement
Right Stick - camera
- jump
R1 - toggle rope
- show debug information

I was going to attach 2 ropes to her head and call it "hair physics", but then I realized it's not worth it considering this character is just a placeholder.

Looks cool! But apparently, you seem to have forgotten to provide the atd_export plugin script for Blender.

I used to store the code for all my blender 2.78 scripts on my formerly deleted website, but I've now reinstated the site under a different host so you can now view the scripts here. Mind that you'll have to copy and paste the script's text into blender then run it manually since I couldn't be bothered to write a proper plugin. Sorry if it's obnoxious..

This game shows a lot of potential! Hope to see more of it. Try and do some solid polygon shading (unless you want to keep it wireframe based)

My plan is to try flat-shaded polygons first (with some tricks), and if it still looks icky, switch to wireframe. The final result won't push the PS1 to its limits, but hopefully with each game I make, the engine will improve until it reaches a wizardly status. I would use gouraud-shaded polygons, but my file formats do not currently support them, and file formats have been a pain to deal with unfortunately. I'll definitely try my best either way though!
