In Deep Water

In Deep Water was created for Mini Jame Gam #51 (yes, that's spelled correctly). The theme of the jam was Underwater, and the special object was Speaker. In this game, the speaker is YOU!

Grab a mic or headset, and direct a lost diver to the surface!

Warning: the game is a bit annoying to play! ¬_¬

I've never made a game with voice commands before, and while it was cool to see it come together, DANG if it isn't annoying! (More or less than the PS2 game Lifeline? You decide...) I'm sure there's variables I could tweak, and more polish I could do to minimize the jank, but I did what I could within the limited time frame of a 2-day game jam.

Personally I'm happy to have learned some new tech, but I apologize if you play this game and find it frustrating as hell... because you very well might.

Source code is available here: https://github.com/BenMakesGames/InDeepWater. Another warning: it's very hastily done, and the architecture is not very good! Suitable for a proof-of-concept & game jam game, but if you want to take this code to actually do anything with, be prepared to do some refactoring & re-architecting!
