About LabyrInk
DISCLAIMER: This is the result of an internal five-day Game Jam @ Double Dash Studios!
Made in a week by a team of five, LabyrInk is our very first attempt at making a multiplayer game in Unreal Engine. In its current state, our game provides a very compact experience. Between working on a new engine, implementing multiplayer features, and making sure we finished with as little bugs as possible, LabyrInk's content is bite-sized.
We suggest you enjoy it with your friends for a good laugh! Now, about the game itself:
LabyrInk is a PvP Shooter Arena where the arena itself is invisible.
In the spirit of a Game Jam, there were also plenty of features that were cut for time. Among them are:

- Customize your character's color to stand out in the chaotic mayhem;
- Paint the environment strategically to reveal hidden paths and gain an advantage over other players;
- Choose your playstyle: quickly ambush opponents or embrace stealth, covering your footprints and minimizing noise.
- Overload other Goblinks with your ink to make them explode in a spectacular display!
- Two game modes to choose from: Last Ink Standing and Deathmatch;
In the spirit of a Game Jam, there were also plenty of features that were cut for time. Among them are:
- A Splatoon-inspired gamemode, where the goal is to paint as much of the map as possible;
- Team Deathmatch, where players team up under the same color;
- Ammunition and Powerups;
- An option for all gamemodes that would make players invisible as well as the labyrinth, forcing players to adopt a more 'hunting' approach;
- Multiple premade levels, rather than just one, including a circular labyrinth;
- Sudden Death for all gamemodes, where after a configurable timer, walls would disappear to speed things up;
- Shifting labyrinth walls;
- Much-needed improvements to net code - from client side prediction to server-side rewind;
- Persistent data related features, such as player level and match rewards that would typically be used to unlock cosmetics and such;

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This complete garbage, rejected by almost everyone on Steam, was slapped together in 5 days as a direct insult to anyone who takes gaming or game development seriously. It takes years to create a professional game, 5 course banquets of exquisite roasts and delicacies. This crap is chicken that's been left in the sun for 5 days. By all means people should play around with development, but the garbage that comes out of them, below the quality of a tech demo, should never waste the time of gamers with unprofessionally, insincerely made crap by publishing it in the same place where real developers who do the right thing are struggling to find an audience for their genuinely made games. And this is truly crap... it's just beneath the standard you'd expect from a minimum viable product. I've played better asset flips from Russia. It really is a dead, contentless arena PvP game with no players. So, "LabyrInk" is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]A…
