civic dock
Hahah.
balmy ermine
for real though I dont know if there are any words that express that meaning except berserker
if there are I dont know them
civic dock
Yeah, I may just be remembering something different.
I keep coming back to that.
That's what it usually is in fantasy games and such.
Berserker, rage mechanic, etc.
balmy ermine
which is weird though cause there totally should be
civic dock
Yeah. I keep feeling like there's a way you would describe the berserker's abilities.
balmy ermine
Anachronistic means strange and out of place
balmy ermine
Cornered Animal

Thanks for the help guys.
Don't want to waste too much time with this, but figured i'd reach out to see if anyone else had thoughts. ๐
My alternative plan there was going with the idea of inverse.
Health being the inverse of strength.
remote linden
Rigging is FINALLY done! Took me almost twice as long to weight map it than it did to actually make the model, but it'll be worth iiiit! :D
robust basalt
great style
not sure if we are making a game atm
more an excuse to get in screenshake, ragdolls and particle effects

Lol getting the camera set up but not sure how it will work without testing. /sigh old computer is old...

My frame drops are real
fading rock
How bad is it @somber hazel?
somber hazel
My special attack freezes my i5 4460 for a split second ๐
Gonna sell it
like it's a feature
to demonstrate the force of the attack
Hopefully I can find this magic button
That activates Lightweight Rigid Body Simulation
But I fear it's already in ๐ฎ
fading rock
Magic button?
somber hazel
Not sure if I have to enable it somewhere
Or if it's already activated with physics
somber hazel
My hopes
small fern
it's what replaced AnimDynamics basically but they demonstrated it for ragdolls too
somber hazel
๐ฒ
small fern
athough, you probably don't do ragdolls specifically
anyway, it's not actually that much more lightweight
it just disables collisions between the individual actors
small fern
nah, you have to setup specifically for it if you want to use it
but in your case, I'd just use the default setup
just make sure your destructables don't collide with anything but ground
if they self-collide, that makes it heavy
although, your effects probably rely on that :p
somber hazel
they are blowing in every direction, not sure how much % actually touches itself
welp, nevermind
I actually looked at the number
555 actors hit, all simulate physics
someone call Luos, I need a particle for that ๐
and move 800 of the 1000 actors to the gpu
but time man
๐
small fern
I'd know how to mod physx to run that on gpu :p
need custom engine build
and it would only run on nvidia gpu's after that ๐
or, it's not even modding it, it's a feature that's just not available on stock UE4
small fern
you don't want to get into physics engine modding in remaining 2.5 days, trust me ๐
small fern
civic dock
Well I'm having a fun night so far. lol
Event Begin Play is not firing in my player controller.
small fern
@civic dock amd your class is setup to get them?
civic dock
Yes.
In fact, Event Begin Play isn't working from anywhere.
Pawn, PlayerController, Level Blueprint, etc.
I don't even.
civic dock
Ah, I fixed it! Weird issue I've never encountered before.
Apparently Event Begin Play breaks if you mismatch GameMode/GameModeBase with GameState/GameStateBase.
I had a GameModeBase with a GameState, so that broke it.
gray yoke
I'm experiencing a very strange issue with overlapping actors - as soon as one actor is fully within the volume of another, the overlap ends, and the actors are not seen as overlapping until they fully leave and reenter each other
Anyone had a similar thing before?

Morning brothers, a whole new day for jamming
And sisters too of course.
May I share my progress. To keep myself motivated ๐
stable kiln
darn something came up yesterday, and dont have much time today either, might not get anything finished
only got a few hours today and thats it :/
hmm, thats weird, was sure i left my project yesterday when it was broken, but seems to work now
stable kiln
ahh it was a semi hidden bug but its fixed now ๐
stable kiln
spend 30 min tryin to fix the wrong widget ๐
rigid fog
@stable kiln yeah, had some funny issues with widgets that I usually don't get. Momentum was still applied to actors during Widget Creation, even after death/respawm. Was able to work around it though.
stable kiln
i doubt im gunna get anywhere near finished this time ๐
only got a few more hours today and its over for me :/
stable kiln
for some reason when i press esc it stops hiding 1 scrollbox but the other works fine
well gunna just leave this widget broken and migrate my blade and char bp from last jam in there so i have at least something ๐
oops bunch of compile errors ๐
remote linden
Yeah I'm kinda doubting my ability to finish it in time as well... Only 2 days left, and I haven't touched UE4 at all. Still gotta stock pile animations, program the characters, make all the assets and props, light everything, program the scenes and interactive dialogue, and the audio stuff...
The past 2 days, I made 2 characters and rigged them... ;-;
somber hazel
Game not even half finished... used 2 hours of my time to find cool sfv and music :3
I still call worth it
remote linden
Yeah, regardless if I finish or not (I'm sure most of us can agree on this), I have learned so much in the past 3 days, it's SO worth doing this
http://tabletopaudio.com/ Here's a good site for ambient music btw, @somber hazel
carmine kindle
It's also just great fun. I'm having a blast making this thing now, because it's really really stupid and rather silly.
remote linden
yeah me too! I've never really had such a drive to make things before this. Like, I've always wanted to, but self management is my biggest fault. This jam has really encouraged me to get stuff done, and I've been able to do things I didn't know I could do before. We just need encouragement :D
remote linden
That should be fine. Probably wouldn't hurt crediting it either
https://gfycat.com/HotKindlyHarlequinbug
Stress testing is fun >:D
stable kiln
every other jam i actually completed what i wanted to do, this time it seems like a neverending project ๐
remote linden
I had to cancel a game I've been working on for the past 1.5 years because of that very reason :L
were those other jams a week long as well? @stable kiln
stable kiln
nah shorter, but way less scope\
this editor im making uploads the lvl as json data so other ppl can load it up and when u upload it it generates a new leaderboard on the fly for that level
but so far u can only spawn spheres and cubes and scale/rotate them ๐
wunna add post process and char creator too, but prolly wont make that
remote linden
Oh very cool! Yeah I always wondered how those things worked without really deticated servers hosting the leaderboards
stable kiln
im usin google datastore
remote linden
yeh, yeah I think I'll actually gonna continue polishing and expanding the story of this game after the jam. I really enjoy this, and I feel like 1-2 days of work on actually making the story happen doesnt do it justice
Oh nice, I'll give it a look :D
stable kiln
aww crap, i just undid a lot off stuff i just fixed
remote linden
D:
stable kiln
well fixed it a lot faster this time cuz i know what to do ๐
hmm, wonder if i should add beepbox integration that would only take a few min
compact cedar
Just a mockup for testing
remote linden
Looks fun :D
compact cedar
Hope the team would make it work ๐
remote linden
lol wish I had a team xD D;
46 hours left to, and I am just now launching unreal engine
compact cedar
@remote linden and i've spent last 3 days in 3d software, haven't used ue4 ;_;
remote linden
xD Same here. I've just been posting renders of the progress of my characters. All I have to import right now is a simple walk cycle
literally just opened the engine
dusky vessel
@compact cedar I would love to talk to your environment artist. I can only dream of being that good with Blender.
remote linden
This is really as far as I've gotten. Never done characters before, so it obviously took a bit longer than it should have :P
carmine kindle
Looks very dramatic
remote linden
Thanks, that's the style I'm going for :)
gonna be like an interactive story per se.
No fun, quirky mechanics unfortunately. Just going along for the emotional ride :D
My only biggest issue so far is this girls rig. The weight mapping doesn't want to cooperate. Glad that's the biggest issue though, simple fix
compact cedar
@dusky vessel I made this rail system, but i'm not an Environment artist atm, just making some assets for them (they would need to add logic to it)
@remote linden I like your characters, hoping to see what it will be ๐
remote linden
Thank you :)
Hopefully if I can pull it off right, it'll be a dramatic love story. That's all I'm saying for now :P
dusky vessel
@remote linden I love the design of the character! How long did it take you to do? Did you just open up Blender and crank that out? Did you do a tutorial but then modify it for your needs? What was the process like? How difficult was the rigging?
compact cedar
Looking at screenshots of @remote linden ...dramatic, creepy horror...
remote linden
Thank you, I really appreciate it!! @dusky vessel
I actually used Cinema 4D to do this. Hoping I don't encounter import problems though, that's the only downside.
The girl was really the first character I've ever made, especially from scratch, and she took about 1.5 days to make. In that half day, I was able to make the guy in about 3 hours, and rig them both.
I did follow a speed art for the girl (the overall design is very different), I just needed to see what kind of workflow I needed to make characters, as I've never done it before. She was just a learning experience, and the guy was quick and fun.
The process for the girl was a bit tougher, since I was going through a few different modelling techniques, to make the clothes and hair, but once I found out that I could really just do everything through polygonal modelling and symmetry, it was way easier to continue. That's why she took 1.5 days, and the guy took 3 hours.
Setting up the bones wasn't all that hard, but I should have modelled the girl with a wider T-Pose, because the polygons are too close together, and there are so few of them, and it doesn't give me or the program any room to be exact.
The guy though was easier because I learned about the TPose problem while doing the girl. Took me about 6 hours to make sure everything ran good and had no problems with other bones. Both were rigged yesterday, as well as making the guy.
@compact cedar Lol, horror wouldn't be a bad idea really. If I had more time to make it, I probably would consider doing it :D
I'm a sucker for good/dramatic horror
It's gonna be an "emotional" (kinda hard to passively portray that without forcing the idea to someone. Not enough time though :P) and dramatic love story. Think of it kinda like a chick flick, but you play as the guy in this situation. Nothing works out for him.
The ways I'm going to kinda help influence the emotions in here though, is through the atmosphere. So he's going to be sad, so it's dark, foggy, his animations is mopey, etc. Then something devestating happens, and now he's depressed. It's hard to emphasize that without a face, so it starts pouring outside. That kinda stuff.
They will also portay emotions through body language. Thats the idea at least, not sure how much I'll be able to do in 1 day and a halves time
somber hazel
^Probably put the most effort into making a really deep theme connection
I love it โค
Here is my story so far
Kid got thrown into paint puddle, everyone laughs at him, what they didn't the know, the color gave him superpowers and now he is up for some revenge on those bully guys
remote linden
Ooooooh, is that why he's red? :D
somber hazel
yup (actually blue)
remote linden
Yeah yours looks really fun! :D
I can't wait to try out all the arcady ones here :D
stable kiln
i wish i didnt go 3d with transforms ๐
remote linden
Guys, oh, my god. Anyone who is dealing with 3D character animations should check out Maximo!
http://imgur.com/2I1lDCk
I had to redo this animation in Cinema 4D a few times over the course of a couple hours because my rig setup was rushed, and sloppy. Maximo did it FLAWLESSY in SECONDS

All attacks in, now just need to fix all the states... that's gonna be fun :3
robust basalt
I am still not sure what game we are actually making, but I know that our potato people can't drive for shit

How big is your team? Very impressive for only a few days work :O
somber hazel
op
remote linden
Dang! Yeah you're all set!
Hahahaha yeah op for sure xD
And ninjin and I at least are all over here like
remote linden
:P thanks!
I just mean as you guys can kinda spend more time on individual projects at a time. Being a one man band, I've literally opened UE4 for the first time this jam about an hour ago.
Got 1.5 days to build the sets, do the visuals, program the scenes, make sure everything is timed properly, audio... Guh I'm freaking out xD
somber hazel
Welp, at least if something is boring you can usually just switch, the only positive thing ๐
Except when everything is set up and you really really have to fix all the states in your character ๐
somber hazel
But yeah, you either drop quality to a bare minimum, or you end up with a really short game
Try to find the balance... you just can't ^^
compact cedar
@robust basalt this looking great!
stable kiln
lol every1 is goin for supergore these days ๐
remote linden
lol mines not gorey at all if that makes you happy xD
compact cedar
@robust basalt all the props made solely for this game?
robust basalt
yeah
remote linden
@somber hazel
Lol, yeah, doing everything low poly definitely helps with the workflow. Less detail, and more time to do stuff. Plus it's super easy to keep consistent throughout the whole game
thus allowing for a longer game (hopefully)
compact cedar
@robust basalt looks like some nice indy games on Steam

I endup with tribal ppl game somehow
rigid fog
@fallow lion well, denny's team has potato people, I have robots, you have tribal
sounds legit
Too bad they didn't have the flip category
Like in GGJ
I mean swap
Where two teams swap mid-way in their games
and swap games for the remainder time
fallow lion
oh this could be crazy
rigid fog
That would be an awesome category and probably wouldn see some really crazy stuff come out of it
@copper carbon Please make note--> Gamejam-swap category for a future jam? Where two teams swap their projects mid-way and complete the games in their own vision. Could be cool.

I'll take a note. That could be fun ๐

So much to still do and the countdown clock keeps ticking down.
No character models or animations, no levels, no sound, no music. Everything going great then.
remote linden
I've only got the characters modelled. Trying to gather a pack from Mixamo, but I still gotta make it work in UE4. Same boat as you though :(
No scenes, audio, anything besides my 2 characters... probably gonna pull an all nighter tomorrow
@carmine kindle

@remote linden blueprints was a mistake

Tried to implement a really cool dash ability the whole time
In the end I decided to just use impulse

impulse?
somber hazel
Oh wait, actually, AddForce from Character Movement
Yeah, was trying to implement my own Pawn class for my movement, ended up staying with character and some hacks
remote linden

Well, regardless of wether or not you can meet the deadline, I feel like the main take away from game jams is new skills, knowledge, and workflow

Yeaaah, looks like I'm going to have to forfeit. I kinda went at this all wrong, but it is my first game ever, so I didn't expect much. Might just turn it into a small short film instead, on the side.

25 hours

how's your game goin, @rigid fog ?
remote linden
Oh good! :D
I can't wait to see it! :D
remote linden
yeah as expected :P
Crazy how fast these days flew by

But still have quite a bit to do, the other programmer got sick

oh gotcha

I'll get it done
I'm not worried about it getting done. Just won't have as much time for polish

@stable kiln best way to go sometimes

The idea I ended up with might be doable for me in this period, but I really have no clue.

When you open the game, can you get the console to open? If you can, you can enter some of these sg and r values directly

So many games this jam...
@stable kiln you ever going to get rid of that character btw?

no, he is my signature dude ๐

Hmm
stable kiln
a cube with extruded mouth and eyes ๐
rigid fog
At least you tried something decent this jam...lol
stable kiln
can make those in 5 min ๐
rigid fog
I was pretty annoyed at the lack of "try" on the majority of the games.
stable kiln
It stores alll info you do in the editor and uses varest plugin to send it too google datastore
so you add a lvl too the list when you play it start from finish in the editor
but my array got a bit messed up so it doesnt allways store the exact same lvl and items gets switched around :/
rigid fog
@stable kiln I know you had what you wanted to do. But I think if you reduced your scope a bit and polished... Would be really nice to see.
stable kiln
yea its not super mario maker just yet. but the option to change sun direction and color is pretty cool
this is the data from all the lvls
its 15 kb ๐
oops
cant have my project link in there ๐
If some1 starts sending strings there on tick im gunna hit my datalimit real fast ๐
sweet flame
@rigid fog what do you mean by "lack of try"?
rigid fog
@sweet flame rahahah. Was wondering if anyone was going to ask
I couldn't think of the right words at the time. But basically I felt that the majority of games submitted were half-assed attempts or barely that even.
sweet flame
well, I'm doing jams for fun, but also want to learn/take away something from it. Even critique of other games is valuable because it helps me avoid those mistakes. So any comments are welcomed
rigid fog
As in, there was no real effort in producing a decent product in the end.
Oh, I made all my comments in the stream. I was as objective as possible.
I have nothing to add to any game personally.
Think it was great that people did the jams. Great they "completed" them. Whenever possible.
What I did not like were the ones that barely went above something past the templates
sweet flame
I guess it depends. I didn't really plan to do a jam, but it just so happened, that I was messing with blob physics and got some game idea, so I made it. So it was probably less entertaining than full on jam effort.
rigid fog
Phone please type better
sweet flame
what?
rigid fog
That's not what I mean though
You can definitely tell a difference between someone who tried to make something decent and someone who randomly threw something together.
It's not like there's a random drawing anymore.
sweet flame
oh, I see what you mean.
rigid fog
While there were exceptions... After Page 2, the quality and effort of games went to poop
You can tell these were last minute, rushes to get something out. Without thought.
sweet flame
It used to be, that people entered just for the sake of entering (for price). But that doesn't make sense anymore, so You are wondering why those games are still there?
rigid fog
So, I join for "fun" as well.
But I am also very competitive
I mean, I want people to join the jam and have fun and do their thing. But we had a lot of games that just used templates, made some silly assets or just flipped and threw up the game.
sweet flame
Yeah. I'm not big fan of using default engine assets
rigid fog
We had some that had no working game mechanics
sweet flame
that is weird too
rigid fog
Some that I couldn't even get past the main menu
Some I couldn't open
I mean, the list goes on.
Why even throw up submissions if the game doesn't work at all.
sweet flame
I think the reduced frequency of jams hurt a bit.
rigid fog
My biggest pet peeve though.... Are games that are super huge....and no ending or doing the same old mechanics with no real progression
No freaking reason to have these huge landscapes if nothing is really changing.
sweet flame
I think you could do "request only" playthroughs. Because smetimes it's just waste of time.
rigid fog
Hmm... See...I can't do that either. Because sometimes you get these hidden gems.
And devs don't watch or request playthru
Also, I learn a lot from the games.
I learn from the bad just as equally as the good.
I personally don't mind playing all the games. The issue I have will be, if they continue doing it in the future. Because if they don't watch my stream or get it playtested by others... where do they get the feedback to improve?
sweet flame
idk
I always watch the streams. At least my game. Did that with Allar and now with your streams
rigid fog
@sweet flame also "reduced game jams"
I agree
The numbers are misleading
Yes more people submit
But the effort and quality is worse
sweet flame
I noticed, that there is the same amount of good quality games as it was in monthly jams.
maybe even less
rigid fog
5 days and we still had late entries. I eman even mine was 2 mins late.
sweet flame
1h 20m ๐ฌ
rigid fog
But my internet went out and had to go to Starbucks. But their upload speed was poop
Yeah. Hehe. I think I only played up to yours.
Also...
People linking to folders... But no game in there.
Or only uploading .exe
sweet flame
that's weird
small fern
it's pretty safe to assume people uploading exe never had a working game to begin with
it's happened more than once
some people have linked just some image too ๐
In past, those were most likely done because people wanted to take part on the raffles
carmine kindle
All the unplayable submissions this time, it makes me wonder about how many of them actually realise (even now long after the submission period ended) that the stuff they posted isn't working. I doubt many of them were there for the streams either.
rigid fog
@carmine kindle aye. That's why I asked @pulsar yarrow but should have also messaged @copper carbon about getting the playthrough mentioned on the official stream so people can get some critical feedback and hopefully learn from their mistakes.
I mean, if I just dev'd for 5 days straight and then submitted a game, to find out no one was able to play it... I would be super disappointed.
Especially if they were silly little mistakes. But if they never know...then they may make the same mistakes in the future.
I mean, one of the games looked awesome. But kept closing out after 10 seconds. Everytime.
There are a lot of post-production steps that devs either do not think about or just don't know.
somber hazel
^Let's be honest, if you submit after the deadline, in 95% of the cases, it's your own fault. "Internet goes down" can happen, but it's rare and you can count those submissions with one hand. People are just new to the engine and assume they have a chance to win a Gamejam, because they spent some time "working". Don't get me wrong, I still think you should let them upload even after the deadline (+ Alex probaly didn't want to deal with all the excuses of people, so locking the forum thread after deadline is a bad idea). However, I believe, the majority of people who really care about making a good game have something called self-reflection. They know exactly what seperates their game of the others, I'm talking from my own experience. They will learn how to make things faster and how to organize better by themselves and they will realize that to win a Jam, you actually need some kind of experience.
About this game that closes after 10 seconds and some other submissions that you can't play, I'm 90% sure it's the dev thinking he can outsmart others. I thought the same in the past "oh yeah, I'm gonna polish it and tell everyone that I didn't know I uploaded wrong". I believe that's the issue with late submissions.
Something about the stream @rigid fog. I really don't think people want to watch a 3 days marathon of someone playing gamejam games, especially if the quality of games is dropping. If you cared about giving advice to the devs, you would restrict the time limit of each game played (even the good ones) so the devs could actually have a chance to tune in when their game is played (also, I know we had our difficulties in the past, and we have 2 different views of the world, but I just want to make sure to tell you that these words are not from someone who hates you, it's just my opinion, others can join the discussion as well ofc)
Wau, what a text, I'm back to answerhub :3
rigid fog
@somber hazel Man wtf
You want me to read all that ๐ญ
Let me reply in sections
Oh, I don't doubt that 95% of case that people who post after deadlines is their own fault. I mean, even my entry, shit, I could tehcnically have uploaded it the night before or super early in the morning but I had planned to polish it up until the very last minute. But yeah, obviously the internet going out is a fluke. I mean, I busted my butt to get to the nearest Starbucks to get that submission in on time, but that .01 upload speed was too good and I myself was 2mins late.
I agree about the self-reflection part for sure. I actually need to do a post-mortem before I forget.
I have to agree about devs trying to "cheat the system"
That's why I don't like links to folders and such, even though sometimes there's a timestamp. Usually on Google Drive.
Which is why I believe that since the jams are less frequent, they can put more effort into organizing it all
Including the submission process.
Make it a formal upload to the Epic Servers.
With a form to fill out.
I don't know, I am kind of torn about limiting each game's playtime. I have definitely given it some thought each time I do the playhroughs.
There are obvious advantages, especially for the streamer, more sleep being one of them:)
I of course would love if people could polish up their game and get them tight into a 30min game
Like I mentioned before, I did not enjoy the super long walks/runs, between actions, artificially increasing playtime.
People who built huge landscapes, but it was barely filled, or same old, same old.
somber hazel
Stream -> I sent a private message
Submissions: I think everyone loves quality, but I'll bet there is only 1 guy (probably Alex, Amanda now) at Epic who is hand sorting the list of entries to about 20?! games that actually have a chance to win, and then there are the "judges" (which I think is way below what everyone thinks ;P) who will check out these 20 games. The other games will not be considered, but to give everyone a chance to submit and make it a big event, they keep the submission barrier as low as possible.
That's how I would do it
Even though it sounds harsh
rigid fog
Heh, I don't think that's how they do it
because they have video footage of each game
and it's not from Allar's or mine's streams
So I know they play it. Obviously it must have been taking a toll for Epic employees
Instead of "working" they were playing games for a week ๐
Even though to me...that would be their job, since they are CMs...
But I'm not the boss
somber hazel
5 sec video clip, that's telling someone "hey, can you start the game, move the controller left and right and repeat that for 90% of the submissions"
That poor guy though ๐
It's a massive amount of work ;P
But this person actually makes sure to capture the best part of the game
So props to her/ him โค
oblique garden
I have to say from my point of view when it comes to jams; we weren't trying to make the best game in the world. We were using the jam as an oppertunity for 4-5 friends to come together and practice collaboration and learn how to make some new things. Although most of our mechanics probably could have been found in templates, we made them all from scratch, to learn some new stuff! Also @VictorBurgos still haven't had a chance to look at the VOD of your playthrough as I'm out traveling with just data right now D:
I spent some of the jam learning to animate which I've not done since a 4week course in y1 of my degree, so that was a lot of fun! We also had to take time out of the jam to pack and move half of our flat xD So all in all I'm pretty happy with what we achieved
We could have done with some more time for balancing though
rigid fog
@oblique garden right. And I understand that for some, it's not to try to "produce a winner". But there are still some bare minimums that should be met... Does the game work? Did I zip it up prior to uploading it in Google Drive? Did I check download link to make sure it downloads and plays right. Was I able to complete game to completion myself? Etc, etc.
oblique garden
Yeah :) I wish we'd had more time to polish bugs, but we're a team of 4 people who've been doing gamedev for not very long, and none of us professionally (yet)
I only had a chance to try it after I'd uploaded it, as our programmer has really slow upload
Aaand none of us know perforce/git well enough to use it xD
But yeah, I can see from the playthroughs that playing them can be really frustrating
For us though, We're super happy with what we made, not because it's in any way a perfect game, or even a very good game. But we learnt a lot, and we're starting to work pretty well together ^^
I would deffo prefer if the jams were more often though really
rigid fog
Yeah. They used to be and everyone enjoyed them.
oblique garden
Then again we could just join other random jams
rigid fog
But it seemed to be a burden for Epic.
Probably running out of good prizes.
Since these newer jams still don't have anything good.
Still the same old SSDs
But some jams are limited
oblique garden
Heh, I could put those prizes to very good use :p
oblique garden
But again, I'm not really doing it for the prizes
rigid fog
I know it wasn't 750MB before.
As for people leaning. That's great. I mean you all put an actual game together
Sure I was frustrated with the bugs and had to cheat to complete it. But at least it was still better than others.
oblique garden
๐ฆ hurray we weren't the worst :D
rapid musk
Speaking of the games and quality of submission, I ended up not really doing anything, despite the best intentions. I just was kept too busy all weekend and by the time I had time to work on anything, I didn't have enough time to get anything done that would qualify.
So I decided I'd just keep working through tutorials and whatnot and be ready to try again next time there's a jam
I'd rather do that than submit a nonworking stub

@dull basin hmm good question. I think @compact cedar started one. Not sure if it's updated. Don't have link to it either.
compact cedar
I did, but it was such pain in the butt to fill, so i've dropped after several titles
dull basin

My game (made in less than 24 hours) scored a 3.0 on Victors stream, could be worse for such short creation time ๐
Now Im curiois if it would even show up on the reel of ue4 stream
rigid fog
@sharp berry lol
My scoring system needs work, and it's just one person's (or two's for most of the stream) opinion anyway.
sharp berry
Still an independant opinion!
