Yak Shaving Space Delivery!

Embrace in a journey to deliver Yaks from one planet to another, take care of your ship and get ready, because nothing can go wrong when you do some Yak Shaving along the way!

After picking up Yaks, nothing can go wrong... except that there is an increasing amount of tasks to complete in order to make the Procrastinator 9000 happy and working again! Every time the Ship is in space, more cargo to deliver and tasks will appear. Those tasks might not be related to the delivery goal, but they are needed.

The goal? Deliver 6 Yaks, complete all the tasks in the shortest amount of time!

Overall its a really good game! 

Improvements:

*  Fix the lag spikes happening whenever I interact with stuff

*  Rotate the player the way they're walking

*  Setting for controlling both audio and camera sensitivity

Eyyy... I have telekinesis and can make yaks float. *drops yak* Maybe.. Maybe it's not a yak but a bouncy ball that is made to look like a yak.

Comments:

  • To make a functioning 3D game in 7 days is quite a feat, so well done!
  • Procrastinator 9000: "I feel heavy..." GOOD. That's for making me do all the work!
  • Why Yaks? I mean. Just why? I never understood even when I finished the game.
  • Why is a computer system... hungry and sleepy? (Theory. The job has been outsourced to me and someone is conning me into doing it for less pay.)
  • The interaction with items is a bit clunky. It was a bit frustrating when I had to put fuel in storage and burn waste. Making me hate Procrastinator 9000 more...
  • The ship did not explode.
  • Great to see Nathan's Dialogue Manager in different games :)

I honestly thought I was going to chase yaks. Instead I am an errand boy to a lazy computer system :(

Hey thank you for the comments! :)

I had many ideas around Yaks but very little time to develop different mechanics to test so I just focus on the telekinesis ahha

The reason to pick Yaks is this: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yak_shaving

I had to switch from Dialogic because it was buggy, and overcomplicated for what I needed. :-)

I am glad you liked it! Did you manage to go to space multiple times? What is your score at the end of the game?

Oh wow! I never heard of the phrase "yak saving" used in such context. Today I Learned <( ̄︶ ̄)> Guess I'm yak shaving for the rest of my life. (Oh! Now I understand the Procrastinator reference)

I continued to play even after the 10th yak delivered. Is there a hidden dialogue after or it's just infinite yaks to shave?

No hidden dialogue after that… I should have added some Easter egg. Damn! Why good ideas come only after the deadline? ahhah
