Get That Garbage!

Nice concept! I included it in my GM48: Collect! compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/AJIXJbuzz8E

Nice entry! I actually enjoy the scavenger hunt type gameplay a lot, it feels like a nice twist to the whole collectathon deal. I dont wanna get super nitpicky because Im amazed at how you managed to pull this off in 48 hour, movement is smooth, the visuals are nice to look at and you even have different sounds for walking on grass and pavement! It's a bit annoying getting caught on walls when walking specially the more narrow passages, but all and all I had a lot of fun.

Nice game witha very unique charm. I think I would even play a full on open world game with quests and stuff in this trippy world :D

The only real complaint I have is that I would have liked a harder challenge, like if there were enemies roaming around, or if there was a timer or something.

Otherwise, cool game!

I had fun finding and stealing all the cars I mean uh, getting that garbage! Now I need to know why we wanted all that trash XD

The whole car-theft-treasure-hunt was one of my favorite side activities in GTA IV, especially because you don't just get a yellow GPS straight to the target. So I got excited when I read that in the description. I wasn't disappointed. I liked how big the map was and that each quarter had its own unique visual style. And the map was super helpful!

The music coming in and out was kind of weird and abrupt, but I'm thinking maybe you were going for that minecraft style of intermittent music? I see you said below that it was kind of tacked on, so I understand it not being all that refined.

I was surprised when different floor types gave different step sounds, pretty neat!

I think the thing I liked least was the scintillation of the textures on the world objects. I'm only vaguely familiar with 3d stuff, but maybe turning on texture filtering would help?

As far as gameplay, I only wish the world were bigger / more varied to make the hunt longer! But with 48 hours that's a tall order.

I still think it's mad that anyone attempts 3D in GM for a jam, so huge props there!

Overall I have very few complaints; I liked it!

PS. I always like watching other people play my game, so I uploaded a video of me playing Get That Garbage!

PPS. How is collision done? Were you using the standard 2d GM collision in a sort of top-down scheme, or was there actual 3d collision happening?

PPPS. fish with arms! XD

I like the freedom of being able to go anywhere in the environment at any time, instead of linearly being funneled to each location. You made a pretty big space for such short time!

My one concern is that the music seemed to cut in and out kinda randomly. Sometimes it would stop for a long time, sometimes it would start randomly and then cut short.

20 random bags and 20 hidden bags! Took me a bit to figure out to use the cell phone to find the garbage bags in the dumpsters. Cool environment, movement was a little buggy. The different footstep sound effects were a nice touch. Quite a cool walking simulator/treasure game!

Got all the main trash bags, and 18/20 random ones!

It took me a while to figure out what the objective was, but it was pretty straightforward after that. I assumed I had to collect the garbage on the ground, then put it in the garbage cans, then use the phone to call a garbage truck hehe.

The music was nice, but wasn't very long and cut out as soon as it finished - I think it fading out would give it a more dynamic feel. Out of curiosity, what triggers the music in-game? Was it random or is it associated with locations?

I think it was a good entry overall, though iterating on some of the ideas added would lead to a more interesting experience. What if there was verticality, like going onto the overpass above the neighborhood to pick up trash? What if you could go into some buildings? That and the music are what I would work on if the game were to continue development ~ Very impressed by the usage of 3d in Game Maker!

Man, this game was garbage 🤣

Kidding aside, duude, I love treasure hunts. This was great! Collected 11+20 bags, said hi to fish friend, and saved the environment forever. The 3D environment was super simple, but its layout and details like the mountains around the city, the overpass, etc. made it a surprisingly believable and enjoyable space to explore. Nicely done!

Only small issues I really had were the trees' collision feeling weird, and the brown wall texture was very flickery.

This was really good. I played the whole thing, enjoyed the music, and was utterly impressed by the realism achieved in such a short amount of time

I achieved 11/11 garbage but not all of the optional garbage. I thought the 3d was very well done and the game fit the theme perfectly. It was fun matching the pictures to the environment.
