Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

when enclosed meshes are connected by just an edge

@bold nimbus My impressions so far (we used Git w/ Gitlab for a few months, trying Perforce for the gamejam) is that Perforce is easier (initial config is about the same difficulty wise) mainly due to being able to do (mostly) everything inside UE4 and not having to worry about merges. At the end of the day someone has to know more than just using it and be the repo master though

If your file is more than 1GB, you may utilize the Butler tool to upload your files to Itch.io.

#

does that mean the project can be above 1GB?

#

well, obviously, but by how much?

glass fossil Nov 12, 2018, 6:51 PM

I think up to 30 GB

#

But if you're making a 30 GB game in 7 days you're either doing something very wrong or very right

onyx moon Nov 12, 2018, 6:56 PM

haha nah it might be like 3GB

#

the LogitechG plugin is like 200MB on its own

and Advanced Sessions is 686MB, or is there a way to reduce that?

When gamedev for a gameJam is more important than a power outage. You gamedev at starbucks! LMAO #UE4Jam #gamedev #gameart #screenshotsaturday #twitchgame #twitch #streamelements

#

starbucks would take issue with me dragging in my 2*26" monitors and full size tower

tulip viper Nov 13, 2018, 4:23 PM

#

😛 i got my 17" laptop that takes up the entire table 😛

carmine kindle Nov 13, 2018, 4:24 PM

#

easy solution for that, just win the laptop from the jam kappa

but power is out at the house, so... jsut have to

@tulip viper I did just that for Summer Jam 2017

Power went out like an hour/two before submission

I was fuckign freaking out

tulip viper Nov 13, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

yeah but they only got one bathroom for... like 50 people

#

😛

#

yeah we had a p4 issue and power out... was nuts

rigid fog Nov 13, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

We ended up winning that Jam

#

So...I guess it was worth the extra effort

tulip viper Nov 13, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

i was waitng outside the doors to ge tin and upload my p4 files

#

yeah 😛

#

the effort was worth it, hopefully we will win this one 😉

Hello everyone! Looks like some sweet games ya'll are working on. I have also been slaving away. Hopefully it will turn out but I think I have bitten off a lot of work as always haha

#

Scope always seems smaller before you try implementing everything, eh?

#

For me level design is taking a lot longer than expected.

iron musk Nov 13, 2018, 8:36 PM

I was tempted to use pre-made models on the jam, but I felt I was up to making the models in time. We'll see!

Glad to hear you'll be streaming the games @rigid fog, although I wonder how long it will take this time. Most signups for an Unreal jam yet.

iron musk Nov 13, 2018, 9:42 PM

#

I don't know how you stay sane, @rigid fog . The only reason I didn't do gamejams before was because I'd be working during jam hours. Fortunately, I recently quit my job.

maiden loom Nov 13, 2018, 9:43 PM

lots of signups maybe, but very few submissions so far

obviously most will be towards the end

Heh, well, I am pretty motivated this time around because I had a cool idea and small goals (Learn how to use Gameplay Abilities and learn more about animation, which tied hand and hand to each other actually)

There was also that other bit about something other than default materials used too.

maiden loom Nov 14, 2018, 12:58 AM

assets should have a material other than the default

#

"The game must include custom gameplay that exceeds the gameplay found in Epic Games’ starter templates.
All art assets in the game must have a material other than the default applied to it."

thems be the rules

iron musk Nov 14, 2018, 1:02 AM

I actually had a contingency plan where I had a set of assets to declare if for some reason I didn't have time to make fresh ones. 😁

Do I go left or right on this peak of the sin wave?

Why not both??

tulip viper Nov 14, 2018, 4:36 AM

maybe clamp the values

on left or right, cause it just seems like a value issue

#

unless that is the effect you are going for

minor hemlock Nov 14, 2018, 4:37 AM

#

I have no idea why that's so exaggerated on bottom left

#

there's a sweeping sine wave of wind about 2000 units in period

#

so it shouldn't be that different in such a small area

#

this is very exaggerated strength though, ~1000

tulip viper Nov 14, 2018, 4:37 AM

then its how its applied

#

on the verts that is

minor hemlock Nov 14, 2018, 4:38 AM

It looks like that one poly is going the opposite of what it should

tulip viper Nov 14, 2018, 4:38 AM

tulip viper Nov 14, 2018, 4:39 AM

#

simple grass shader does the same 😛

#

and apply a gradiant

#

using R or G msask

#

for the vertex color/wind effect 😛

#

no WPO needed

#

does the exact same thing

#

@cedar spindle the reward is great though 😛 so it will be worth it

Did you follow a tutorial for those?

craggy zodiac Nov 14, 2018, 5:41 AM

actualy no

I saw that there was a tutoral for something like that

oh nice! when i implimened mine i had to follow one, havent used render targets before

that's really smooth 😄

craggy zodiac Nov 14, 2018, 5:43 AM

#

I've watch a lot of tutorials on how to do that kind of portal door system but the problem is all of them had them directly link them to each other, this has a handler that links them and can randomize them with a command.

#

only problem is that they only teleport the player, not other objects. right now I have some code that attaches them to the player capsule and allows me to drag them through

@glass fossil Good call getting me to check the logs. Seems there is a folder in saved for the crash reports, which includes a copy of the standard log. 12 crashes for this project (less than I was imagining)
The end of some logs look related to the voxelplugin, a couple mention attempting to move a music file (which is weird, Don't think I ever tried to change their location)
A few may be related to the space skybox I am using:

Based on my Trello board if i can achieve one task every ~30 minutes until submission i can theoretically finish game without cutting original scope. However that would probably be insane, plus lighting builds take almost 30 minutes at this point so.... selective cutting has begun. 😃

gotta keep it simple or I won't bother and then no one benefits

glass fossil Nov 15, 2018, 12:05 AM

Out of curiosity, would a plugin for the engine that takes your trello tasks and puts them in the editor be helpful?

Maybe like it could let you place them in the level and other stuff

If you come up with a list of what you think would be helpful just shoot me a message, I want to write a plugin for the editor to get better at my C++ so I'll probably make it

tepid light Nov 15, 2018, 12:09 AM

like for bug reporting: "Player cant pass through this door", place an actor, take a screenshot. On trello level designer can click it to have the editor focused on said door.

#

I think after this Jam, I will take some time to rest.

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

\o/ awesome, already got some good ideas for it?

glass fossil Nov 15, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

this is my first Epic Jam.

#

Yeah, I think it’ll either be a hit or miss tbh

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

I'm headed back to my web serial game after this

hidden flicker Nov 15, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

and i got a mobile game to finish haha

#

7 days is a long time, but not long enough to make a game and still sleep well

#

each new jam, new stuff is learned

#

Partly is showing me how bad my coding is , im gonna take a deep dive into c++ after this

glass fossil Nov 15, 2018, 3:40 AM

#

This jam was a nice break from c++ for me

#

One can only go through so much text to speech of C++ Primer

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 3:42 AM

#

🤣

dawn basin Nov 15, 2018, 3:52 AM

#

I have progressed to where I wanted my jamgame to be by this past Sunday, and now I will cram the rest in tonight 😃

glass fossil Nov 15, 2018, 4:16 AM

#

I'm debating staying up and working on the game or sleeping for my physics test

#

I think we might be close to wrapping up the project so hopefully it'll be done soonish

#

In the summer jam we submitted with like 20 minutes before the deadline

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 4:24 AM

#

Lol sleep definitely

warm bloom Nov 15, 2018, 4:51 AM

#

I'm forcing myself to stop updating mine. I have curtains in my game that change colors that would have been perfect for light sync but I'm out of time.

This has been a blast though and a lot of the submissions are really good! Great Discord channel too. Trying to get some of my students to join and learn.

Alrighty just finished up writing 3 compositions now time to slap my hands and feet on stuff for 20 minutes before calling audio a day. 😁

civic dock Nov 15, 2018, 4:53 AM

#

Nice @cedar spindle! Always happy to hear about folks doing original audio for their jam games. 😄

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 4:53 AM

#

Gotta get them juicy footstep sounds

civic dock Nov 15, 2018, 4:53 AM

#

It's often left until the last minute.

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 4:53 AM

#

Yeah I always make my own audio. Unfortunately I don't leave myself a lot of time for it

civic dock Nov 15, 2018, 4:54 AM

#

As long as you have fun doing it and give it the love you can with the time you have.

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 4:54 AM

#

I'm happier than most jams about these music tracks though

civic dock Nov 15, 2018, 4:54 AM

#

Sweet. Looking forward to hearing the results.

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 4:54 AM

#

This time I used no click, quantizing or grid. Both faster and... Unique sounding

civic dock Nov 15, 2018, 4:58 AM

#

Haha nice. So all played live?

#

With no metronome?

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 4:58 AM

#

Yep!

civic dock Nov 15, 2018, 4:58 AM

#

😆

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 4:58 AM

#

I moved some notes around afterward to fix errora

civic dock Nov 15, 2018, 4:58 AM

#

Well that sounds like a blast. Now I'm even more interested in hearing the results.

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 4:59 AM

#

Well you'll only have to wait a maximum of 13 hours haha.

#

Also no purcussion for obvious reasons

civic dock Nov 15, 2018, 5:00 AM

#

I figured.

#

Definitely going to keep an eye out for it and play when I have time this weekend!

Lol a team commented on my game that it's dope :)

#

4/5 and 5/5 rating :P

ancient delta Nov 15, 2018, 5:33 AM

#

ok, found the import morph targets checkbox in the fbx importer. Would be nice if it had a searchbar

#

😃

worldly night Nov 15, 2018, 5:40 AM

#

What does prod stand for? I’ve seen some game makers with it in they’re names/ studio names

#

/ what does it mean

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 5:43 AM

#

Productions ?

#

other than that... /shrug

#

I need to learn me some audio stuff eventually. I only know the bare minimum, wish I had more time to dive deep into audio design and the new audio engine... "soon"

#

So definitely jealous of @civic dock and @cedar spindle

worldly night Nov 15, 2018, 5:45 AM

#

Ohhh productions makes sense

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 5:45 AM

#

I have done so poop this jam

worldly night Nov 15, 2018, 5:45 AM

#

You’ve done better then me

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 5:46 AM

#

Went for polish before level design

#

So...I'll be building levels in a few hours hopefully

worldly night Nov 15, 2018, 5:46 AM

#

I quit the jam 😛

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 5:46 AM

#

Nah, I wasted two days anyway. First day, nothing was done. I had a bare minimum idea.

worldly night Nov 15, 2018, 5:46 AM

#

Not enough time and had school

#

3 days and I had nothing done

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 5:47 AM

#

Second day... I worked a full day, then after work, I decided to spend more time on planning/fleshing out my idea

#

Next time... taking vacation for the whole week though

#

It was rough this week between work and jam

worldly night Nov 15, 2018, 5:48 AM

#

I think the 2 day jams are better because you know how small you have to go and still put work in

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 5:48 AM

#

But, this was a great week. I learned so much about Gameplay Abilities (and even more confused and lost by them at the same time!) and also Animation Systems in Unreal. So it was a great learning experience.

worldly night Nov 15, 2018, 5:50 AM

#

Is it possible to import a cutscene from something else instead of making it in unreal?

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 6:00 AM

#

Well if it makes you feel better I'm still lacking significant gameplay @rigid fog . Just finished up some sweet footsteps though.

#

At least it will be a really immersive walking simulator if all else fails

#

Haha

ancient delta Nov 15, 2018, 6:02 AM

#

hmm, morph targets were imported fine, but they are not playing with the character

craggy zodiac Nov 15, 2018, 6:51 AM

#

😫 I've just spent this entire week trying to create something that could pass off as a game, I worked , managed, lead my team only to to end up with a project that is poorly optimized and while it works in the editor does not work when built and packaged. And right now I am so 😫

glass fossil Nov 15, 2018, 7:31 AM

#

I set the alarm on my speaker to go off very loudly in 5 hours

#

That is not going to be a fun wake up call but hey at least it’ll worj

robust basalt Nov 15, 2018, 7:34 AM

just set up 4 different alarms

#

fingers crossed need a nap

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 8:01 AM

#

@rigid fog I hear ya. I spent a ton of time on level design and lighting before even having any gameplay. You still have some time depending on if you're doing an all-nighter or not. What you have looks great though so far!

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 8:07 AM

ANy chance for a deadline extension ?

no sleep tonight..

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 10:13 AM

#

they don't do deadline extensions

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 10:36 AM

#

@onyx moon I believe they would prefer not, but games have won before with relatively inappropriate content. They just muted it during the live stream or avoided the inappropriate part of the game.

onyx moon Nov 15, 2018, 10:37 AM

#

alright Ill just use different words

cedar spindle Nov 15, 2018, 10:40 AM

#

If it's core to your theme some mild language I don't think would be an issue but 🤷 what do I know?

lilac fox Nov 15, 2018, 10:53 AM

#

a team member is having issues with connecting to perforce all of a sudden, is anyone suffering issues or?

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 11:01 AM

I assume once submitted it'll still be possible to edit the game page (e.g. add screenshots etc?)

#

but I also assume uploading new copies of the game will be blocked for some time?

lilac fox Nov 15, 2018, 11:24 AM

#

@maiden loom played your game the other day, really cool. My main complaint is difficulty walking while using the lens (which I think is intentional, but not sure if it helps or hinders gameplay)

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 1:37 PM

#

it's not intentional, but unfortunately it's because of the mannequin run animations

#

it adds a lot of movement to the clavicle that I couldn't get around

#

did you actually finish it?

#

I was worried the proper puzzle room was too difficult

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

@maiden loom no - I think I got to the "proper" puzzle room, shortly after the sneaky bit with portals, but ran off to keep working on my own game

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

hah, no worries

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

@maiden loom you may be able to do a quick fix in the animBP with FABRIK or "two bone IK"

#

Perhaps at 70% blend to keep some motion

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 1:41 PM

#

I'm not actually using any IK at all, but I guess if I wanted to improve it after the jam I could look into it

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 1:42 PM

#

Yes - I mean I can tell you are not using IK, but it could be used to reduce the motion in the arm quickly and easily

#

just IK towards playerlocation+forwarddir*50 and perhaps rotate handbone to a sensible angle

round valley Nov 15, 2018, 1:45 PM

#

@minor hemlock incredibly fun game!

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 1:45 PM

#

I might get maybe an hour or so to look at it after work, hehe

#

but it'll be close to submission deadline

round valley Nov 15, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

@minor hemlock when pressing escape to pause the game, then hitting escape again to close the menu: the movement gets broken!

#

I have to press escape again, & hit resume to fix it

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 1:49 PM

#

Fffff

#

Filed it, hopefully I can get around to it after breakfast. That sucks...

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 1:51 PM

#

(to the tune of last day of xmas)
On the last day of game jame
Epic gave to me
6 engine crashes
6 engine crashes
and an unsaved tree

#

(I really will install debugging symbols after game jam!)

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

debugging symbols so important

#

shouldn't be optional xD

#

or at least optional and installed by default

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 1:52 PM

#

~20GB, more than doubles size of engine

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 1:53 PM

#

"My thing crashes!"
"What does the error message say?"
"Debugging symbols not installed"

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 1:53 PM

#

should perhaps seriously request people install them when installing engine

#

Suspect it is prob 3rdparty code, like voxel plugin, or some marketplace content. Either way, looking forwards to helping fix it!

#

uploading final version, will paste link here when done

#

will try out atomics game meanwhile!

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:01 PM

#

thanks \o/

#

I tried to put as much polish as I could into every element of the game I touched, that's why plekters bug report frustrated me so much 😛

maiden loom Nov 15, 2018, 2:03 PM

#

haha

#

I tried pretty hard to avoid there being any real bugs, which is why mine is so short

#

but inevitably someone's gonna break it

#

I fucking finally finished the classes/skills

#

no levels yet

let's see, if I shower and eat... I have 4 hours or so

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:16 PM

#

@rigid fog someone was asking who was going to stream games, did you mention you were?

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:16 PM

#

@minor hemlock Nice - my first thoughts are:
In the opening section, with some example anomalies - I didn't actually notice scanning them changed them - though I did notice right away in the tutorial level after. (this may be me not paying attention correctly)
Tutorial level went smoothly!
First real level - I scanned a few things without noticing, partly from shooting arc not matching prediction arc. Once the voice said I had done enough, and could proceed to next level, or scan more - I could not find the way to the next level

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 2:16 PM

#

damnit...alll to hell now

#

one of my skills doesn't work in packaged

#

fml

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:16 PM

#

@minor hemlock Also, I wanted to be able to scan the solid cloud floating through town 😄

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

@oblique cairn I'm really interested that shooting arc didn't match prediction arc

rigid fog Nov 15, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

@minor hemlock yeah

#

I'll be streaming all of them somehow

dawn basin Nov 15, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

Feature complete (LOL). Now for the packaging game 😃

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

if I knew more about particle systems I'd add a thing at the end to make it more obvious where the arc stopped, was that the issue?

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

@minor hemlock real shot went less far than prediction arc, by about 10% or 20%

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:17 PM

#

donut on the top is the portal to the next level >.o we're bad at making that obvious, went through a lot of iterations already 😛

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

Running on a 4k monitor, may be related (but prob not, standard aspect ratio)

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

I'm doing 4k as well

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

@minor hemlock oooh - I'd tried to scan that too, and thought it was weird I could not

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:18 PM

#

hm. the spider has a very small collision sphere, could that have collided on something early? (small as in the size of the orb on its head)

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

@minor hemlock no - It really fires less far, can send video if desired?

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:20 PM

#

yes please!

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:20 PM

@mortal cloak what is the problem with your skill in packaged build?

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:22 PM

#

so many jam games submitted as puzzle, I LOVE IT

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:24 PM

#

@minor hemlock seems a good fit for theme 😃 (also, upl,oading vid at potato quality, as I have slow net and am uploading own game at the same time)

#

@minor hemlock http://chozabu.net/autopush/anom.mov <-- hope that is clear enough. I should have done some more shots on the ground to show what I mean more clearly

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

oh yeah, the arc doesn't extend as far as you think!!

#

it's only a half second worth of travel for the projectile I believe

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

Ooooh

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

like I said, wish I knew enough about particle systems to make it more obvious that it ended and when it clipped/etc

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

OK, I perhaps should have realised that!

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:27 PM

#

there is a cloud to find on the next level though 😃

#

that's the level where our level designer really let his freak flag fly. so hard.

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

Love the loading effect when pressing continue, I saw a nice tut doing a similar thing (meaning to give it a go)

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:29 PM

#

one question.. did you feel the arc as implemented feels natural for shooting? or would you prefer something that doesn't take player velocity into account

#

we have mixed opinions on our team 😛

#

most games use arcs without player velocity, but the projectile does use the added velocity so aiming is hard..

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:38 PM

@minor hemlock Not sure - I quite like it the way it is

Actually - if it is doing the correct arc - and you want it to be more precise, I don't think you need to detect collision? just make it 5x as long?

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:39 PM

#

it'd be too helpful then 😛

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:39 PM

The cloud is damn high 😄

minor hemlock Nov 15, 2018, 2:40 PM

I might add a beam distance meter on the gun if I have time 🤔 nah. I can think of one annoying edge case already that'll take too much time to debug

oblique cairn Nov 15, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

Hmm, I just uploaded new version of game to itch, same file name, switched back to tab and it seems like nothing has happened... Perhaps I need a new filename. Or perhaps I am looking at the wrong tab?
