The Network
A downloadable game
This is a game that was made for the Major Jam: Isolation. The theme was Isolation, and the Limitation was 'No Living Things'
This is a game about navigating a maze as a bot in Cyberspace. You collect DataCubes, which each contain a message. After grabbing a DataCube, it can be spend to 'Unblock' a passageway in The Network by interacting with a Computer Terminal. Try to connect the Network back together, and thereby the people on the other side of the Computer Terminals, the and reach the end.
Controls: WSAD To Move
Mouse to Look Around
'F' or 'L' to activate your Scanning Laser
'E' To Interact with a Computer Terminal - ONLY when you have a DataCube!
'Escape' To Pause
'Q' To Quit out of a Message while it is being Displayed
I put a lot of time into making this. It's a little rough around the edges - I was definitely rushing by the end. I learned a lot from making this though, and I definitely enjoyed putting it all together and I enjoyed the journey. And hey, that's what Game Jams are for, right? I hope you enjoy this.

Cool idea! I'll start out with the things I liked:
I like your models (I assume you made them yourself). I appreciate the time you put into the datacube messages. I also liked the music, though it did get repetitive.
However, I think you could improve on a couple things. First, some technical things: the camera was really difficult to use and it got in the way of playing the game. Also, I felt like the movement was too slow and I found myself looking for a sprint button or something. Oh, and I got stuck when I put both cubes into the same terminal in the first room.
In terms of gameplay, I think it got repetitive fast. I didn't feel like I was really doing anything when I was playing besides reading messages. Maybe you could have come up with a better way to present the messages and have less time walking between each one. Maybe you could've added a puzzle or something where I could use the messages for something as well. I'm just spitballing.
I can tell you were learning when you made this, which is awesome, and I think you should definitely keep making more and have fun improving as you go. I noticed on your profile that this is your first 3D game and it's a pretty good first-start!
Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate all the feedback, and thank you for the encouragement! I hope that I can keep making projects and keep learning too. This really helps a lot, thank you.
