2023-game-jam

[young spindle]

neuro plz make that theme

[strong falcon]

Neuro what should the theme of our game jam be?
Timeout Vedal987

[autumn hazel]

you just chase a bunch of monocled tophat wearing turtles and put them in jail

[boreal onyx]

turtle tennis

[quartz hatch]

thats a good theme ngl

idea: a game with quick-time-events where vedal has to respond to DMs before the allegations arise

[muted cargo]

tutel commits tax evasion (the game)

[clever gull]

We all joke about this now, but wait till one of these guesses end out correct...

[strong tree]

vedal987 subathon simulator

[long elk]

Good luck everyone on their game!
Good luck vedal to wake up on time!
Can’t wait to see what ppl come up with~

[muted cargo]

we are starting early ?

[analog sierra]

I so hope that the theme fits with the type of game i want to make

Else i'll just try to cram it in there

[sharp marsh]

neuro will tell viewers to make strawberry jam

[analog sierra]

Celeste strawberry jam?

[stone pendant]

I’m good with any theme. The beauty of visual novels

[clever gull]

Competitors, how long a game do you think you'll be able to make?

[cobalt inlet]

[worldly sentinel]

This is a WIP of a drawing i am doing, if you want something you are free to ask me

[brazen marlin]

If I make 5 minutes of gameplay, I'll be happy

[analog sierra]

I'm thinking of making a game that is very replayable so how long it is depends on how fun the game is 👍

[strong falcon]

"It's gonna be 16 times the size of Fallout 4"

[sharp marsh]

taking a head start

jk

[cunning quarry]

what is this

im playing roblox

[long elk]

No no I’m not participating lol I’m not skilled enough, I just enjoy using vscode as my text edito- oh you were joking

[analog sierra]

GAME JAM INCOMING

[stone pendant]

Genuine question, a lot of you guys are using programs with godot/unity but what do y’all think about Rpgmaker. Asking as a complete beginner/noob

[short lion]

Pog I'm so ready

[rare shuttle]

here it comes

[cobalt inlet]

I'm so not ready but let it come

[analog sierra]

I'm unironically using turbowarp (scratch but better optimized) just use what you want

[void warren]

Looks interesting, though I never made a game or used a game engine before so idk if I can be any useful

[zealous oxide]

we pray for a nonspecific theme

[stone pendant]

Wait…I can use scratch. POG

[spiral hearth]

[clever gull]

I'm sure the results will all be very enjoyable

[cobalt inlet]

final boss: ostium's and alex's team

[analog sierra]

meanwhile me by myself on scratch

Its neurover

[potent flint]

i trust in you toast

[analog sierra]

I can do this

[potent flint]

if you're not on the podium it's rigged, never forget that

[muted cargo]

Alex started streaming the game jam

[stone pendant]

If I don’t win 1st place it’s rigged.

[sharp marsh]

if tutel is on the podium is rigged

[young solar]

I still want to contribute somehow but have no idea how to code

[stone pendant]

Same

[clever gull]

Throw ideas in chat

[stone pendant]

We got this tho.

[clever gull]

Your stray thoughts could influence others and you can claim you helped in the background

[quartz hatch]

sad..

[muted cargo]

can you do 2d animation ? becuse I think Alex asked for help

[young solar]

Not to the level he is asking for I bet

I've only done very simple art

[dense reef]

gamejam cancelled because vedal doesnt have disk space

[dusky knoll]

[twin nebula]

MIght I suggest the wonderful world of QA testing

[young solar]

Yeah but that's not as fun

I like creating, but lack the attention span to learn

[brazen marlin]

If there are still people wanting to participate but don't feel they have the necessary skills, I'd be happy to receive a couple soundtracks regardless of quality! I'd rather poorly made music by someone who's never made any before but is part of the community than grabbing royalty free off the internet

[dense reef]

watch vedal have to ask neuro 3 times for the game theme

[frozen badger]

[sharp marsh]

maybe try make something small in scratch or some other engine thats not so coding oriented

[frozen badger]

Are there any teams available ?

[sharp marsh]

it doesnt need to turn out great

[verbal wren]

he hates evil

[dense reef]

what can you do

[young solar]

I'm checking out godot, just to see if I can make anything at all, even if it's as simple as moving around and click on dots

[quartz hatch]

i might make a team here

[young solar]

I made this in school

[stone pendant]

If anyone needs someone for creative writing in some aspect, lmk!

[tame tulip]

I've seen people new to programming submit good stuff to game jams, I believe in you

[bright dome]

screw vedal, im letting evil into my team

[rare shuttle]

hm, today i will join multiple teams

[strong tree]

If you join every team, you have a 100% chance of victory

[stone pendant]

I believe the next huge game dev will be born out of this game jam. The next Toby Fox.
The next Omori.

[cobalt inlet]

less than a minute

[sharp marsh]

[frozen badger]

[sharp marsh]

🥁

[grizzled hazel]

itss timmeee

[tight blaze]

well, my laptop is too slow to run unity but i can help with lore and stuff if someone wants

[rare shuttle]

developmentally speaking i remember reading somewhere (maybe the ut newsletter) that undertale is actually horribly coded

[deft kayak]

IT'S TIME

[muted cargo]

wait camila is helping alex

[novel rampart]

[clever gull]

GOOD LUCK YALL

[stone pendant]

That inspires even more hope LETSGOOOO

[dense reef]

IT WAS MORE THAN 3 TIMES

[young solar]

[quartz hatch]

im ready to start https://catt0s.itch.io/neuro-jam-23

[short lion]

Neuro is too nervous

[strong tree]

Welp now I'm never going to finish my game RIP

[jovial sparrow]

BRO I ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO NEURO PLEASE

[cobalt inlet]

surely we are all more nervous than her

[grizzled hazel]

classic kik

[sharp marsh]

[young solar]

wut

[deft kayak]

Lost and Found?

[frosty mantle]

Game Jam theme is...

Lost and Found

[muted cargo]

[rare shuttle]

what could this mean

[brazen marlin]

That's legit a good theme!

[short lion]

LOST AND FOUND

[stone pendant]

Wot

[strong tree]

Oh that's a great theme

[bright dome]

horror game?

[grim fjord]

What a great theme!

[frosty mantle]

ABANDONED ARCHIVE

[novel rampart]

[ivory canyon]

Oh that's a great theme!

[strong falcon]

LOST AND FOUND LETS GO GUYS

[past owl]

good luck all

[sharp brook]

found doesn't really fit

[zealous oxide]

INSANE THEME

[eager haven]

If someone need a shity 3d artist im free.

[zealous oxide]

LETS GOOO

[strong falcon]

You find things in an archive

[stone pendant]

Alright guys. Where’s Waldo but Neuro

[strong tree]

Much better than "sushi"

[scarlet jewel]

good god what a theme

[oak wave]

gl hf!!

[rare shuttle]

what is lost is abandonded/ vice versa?

[ivory canyon]

Time to make a game by myself with 0 gamedev experience

[sick yew]

That's a cool theme, good luck yall

[dense reef]

amazing

[grizzled hazel]

glhf everyone

[tight blaze]

yea i want to join a team too, probably asking a bit late tho

[stone pendant]

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

[bright dome]

3d game it is

[tiny dock]

This is going to be a very fun 72 hours . Good luck, everyone.

[vivid dock]

Good luck people

[quartz hatch]

Ok I have an idea. "Neuro has lost her [item?]! Navigate and interact with characters to help her find them!"

[frozen badger]

[rare shuttle]

maybe vedal loses all the money from the subathon and neuro has to go find it

[young solar]

I'll make Hiyori cookie clicker where you buy old memes in order to generate more subs

[umbral stratus]

is lying on team applications allowed???

[analog sierra]

i have no idea how to fit lost and found to a touhou style game

Its neurover

[stone pendant]

I believe

[strong falcon]

Story

[grim salmon]

u can

[scenic night]

Here is an idea, Vedal lost 150m and has to earn it back. only to figure out that the thing found was the friendship made along the way

[quartz hatch]

DM if you want to join

[vital jungle]

perfect

[cobalt inlet]

brain thinking hard rn

[young solar]

I kinda want to make a vampires survivors type game where Neuro fights off the old models of vtubers with Hiyori as a boss

[sharp marsh]

its been like 4 minutes you'll come up with it

[vivid wharf]

Hi everyone!
I'm a 2D artist looking to join a team I've never worked on a game before but I think it could be fun. Here's some of my recent work, DMs are open

[full sonnet]

Evil goes missing after enough parental neglect and Neuro goes on a journey to find her?

[clever gull]

Thing is, hiyori is cool, but I don't think she's quite lost

She's more...discarded

[vital jungle]

yes!

[sharp marsh]

you play as hiyori

[full sonnet]

finding her way out of the void?

[young solar]

Lost and found doesn't have to mean she is lost, it could simply mean she is discarded and now you're faced with the past

[clever gull]

True, true

[viscid dragon]

Lost and Found is a topic that sounds interesting, but it's tough to come up with something concrete. Interesting for sure.

[young solar]

Imagine this: Vampire survivors/Holocure style game where you're faced with hordes of the old outdated models of other vtubers, and you fight towards certain breakpoints to "purify" them into their new states

[thorn cape]

That moment when you have the idea for a simple game but cannot contribute much outside of creative input

[stray terrace]

do neuro and evil have any lore?

[full sonnet]

yesn't

it gets retconned every other day so

pick your canon

[young solar]

It would lead you to slowly but surely get a following of companions that help you fight off growing hoards

[strong falcon]

Well, i have my idea set

[stray terrace]

okay, perfect

[strong falcon]

Now to see if i can actually make it happen

[clever gull]

My first impression was 'Lost' and 'Found' being two separate things, not connected
However that thought ended when my mind whispered "Found is the friendship you found along the way"

Darn memes messing my thought flow

[frosty mantle]

Have fun, everyone!

[tame tulip]

I can't come up with anything atm so I'm starting with the music - surely that will lead me somewhere

[full sonnet]

[clever gull]

Remember, the ost carried undertale

[tame tulip]

I can't make the undertale OST in 3 days, besides I spent all my best music ideas back in 2009

[kindred narwhal]

So when is the prize getting annnounced?

[full sonnet]

randomly thought of a game where Neuro and Evil goes on a quest to find all of Vedal's missing programming socks

[potent flint]

not with that attitude

[full sonnet]

Tutel said earlier that he still thinking about it

[viscid dragon]

This could work pretty well in a point and click game

[unreal herald]

i would like to offer lore consultation. i can write it myself if the themes revolve around coming of age, philosophy, or psychological horror,

[cursive dawn]

You have unlocked new role

[unreal herald]

i can help you cheat better ratings by pretending you have a deep story

[rare shuttle]

imagine an i-spy type of game where you find certain neuro-related items amongst a sea of other vtuber/strimma items (this will be hell for the artist)

[ocean charm]

would be pretty fun

[thorn cape]

Idea drop for any team, first one takes if interested. Dunno if I could contribute to any project much but It would be fun seeing it done ||Top down RPG style game, like in RPG maker or something else, with horror genre implemented subtly, or more straightforward. Evil is lost in hell not remembering how it happened. Upset, she tries to return to her family, not remembering that she herself escaped, frustrated of not getting any attention. Game ends with Evil being found by Neuro family, that says that they missed her (needed beacause corpa).||

[full sonnet]

thinking like a MAPPA supervisor I see

[clever gull]

Spare the artists

[rare shuttle]

i am the artist in question

[clever gull]

Don't spare the artists

[rare shuttle]

that's more like it

[full sonnet]

I see you've given up hope of ever seeing your family again

I can respect that

for the craft!

[oak wave]

any artist who's willing to participate in the game jam and hasn't found a team yet, DMs are open!

[full sonnet]

what kind of game u got cooking

mostly just here to spectate but idm joining a team if there's one I can contribute to

just a 2D artist with 0 game dev experience tho

[runic viper]

This one is unfinished and has wrong resolution because i cut it but i love doing high resolution pixel art like portrait or something please hire.

[viscid dragon]

I had also considered an "I Spy" style game, similar to the "I Spy Treasure Hunt" and "I Spy Spooky Mansion" that I played as a kid. Anyone wanting to do that style game should check those games as reference

[oak wave]

i haven't decided anything yet, but i'm thinking in making some point-and-click related game

[kindred narwhal]

Pizza tower/ Wario land Harrison temple adventure, boom, free idea for you guys

[full sonnet]

sounds like you gon need quite a lot of backgrounds then

which am not very good at so

[rare shuttle]

the only downside to an i-spy style game is that there's no story to fall back on, but it isn't a rating category anyway

[full sonnet]

[oak wave]

yea, pretty much

[viscid dragon]

Well the scholastic I Spy games did have a progression/story to it, but it's not strictly necessary

[scenic night]

I've got some ideas so feel free to use them will spoiler them incase you want to come up with things yourself

||Reserve puzzle game, you know all the mechanics from the start but not how to use them and what you remember to aquire them. you unlearn those mechanics to gain those memories you have previously lost.||

[wanton holly]

We have to many artists and so little programmer

[full sonnet]

yep

[viscid dragon]

Really? I thought the dynamic was flipped

[buoyant viper]

this sounds interesting actually

[scenic night]

i know php

[acoustic ravine]

Hmm, usually it is other way around.

[buoyant viper]

damn it, i wish i was competent at programming LOL

[ocean charm]

I'm gonna be trying to build in Scratch, but it is going to be my first project

[compact hill]

I'm a programmer but won't be able to do much work until Saturday.

[random anvil]

Good luck to everyone. Couldn't find my team in time, but will try to make a game outside of the game jam

[full sonnet]

the most I programmed a game is just editing code in ren'py

[buoyant viper]

mine was in godot but it was janky as hell...

[viscid dragon]

I'm a programmer by profession but have no formal game dev experience lol

[full sonnet]

am sure there's a team out there that could use you

[wanton holly]

I can just draw

[full sonnet]

same

[viscid dragon]

Yo, somebody ping me if you want a codemonkey (predominantly c# but can probs make do elsewhere)

[full sonnet]

not backgrounds tho, at least I can't do them very well

[rare shuttle]

that's why it's a good idea to have multiple hobbies instead of just one

[wicked oxide]

man i've never done a proper project this might be fun

[bright dome]

damn, i have to remind myself how do you make trees

[worthy patio]

🤔

[full sonnet]

draw wavy cylinders and give it an afro

is that not how trees work

[rare shuttle]

draw a leaf and then just do it a few more hundred times

[bright dome]

in 3d and they need to look spooky enough

[worthy patio]

cutout textures

[full sonnet]

you truly think like a MAPPA employee lmao

draw each individual leaf

[rare shuttle]

the only way i know how, really

[compact hill]

If you want to make an incremental game with just a small amount basic of JavaScript knowledge you can use TMT: https://github.com/Acamaeda/The-Modding-Tree

[clever gull]

I love that I now have an idea, but no idea how to make it a reality

[oak moth]

Does the game have to be Neuro theme, just asking

[full sonnet]

I wonder if anyone is making a game based on the ARG

[viscid dragon]

idea: ||Neuro-sama spelunky|| 👀

[full sonnet]

finding all of void-sama's pieces

and piecing it all together

sounds like an ok idea

[rare shuttle]

dude i really wanted to cover that one song that cut off in the study playlist omg...

[clever gull]

Not really

[rare shuttle]

it would be so cool

[clever gull]

But people do seem to gravitate towards it

[last flame]

really looking forward to visual novels entries

[clever gull]

It is a subathon gamejam so

[full sonnet]

just in case Neuro also judges the entries

it helps to have her in it I Think

brownie points

[compact hill]

Are all of the question marks part of the theme?

[manic snow]

Just make the alphabet with neuro game

But make it funny

[unreal herald]

yes the question marks are stand ins for your own thoughts and intepretation

[manic snow]

By using the most outrages statements

[high prawn]

Does anyone have drone sprites for a 2d top-down game?

Looking for artists btw

[tight blaze]

i have too many ideas and none of them are aligning and actually becoming coherent because i keep on thinking of new ones before i delve into the previous ones

my head is spinning

[unreal herald]

My advice or the game jam is that emotional stories should be preferred. comedy will give shock value and it's fun to do, but it's not something that'll stay on someone's mind afterwards, which is what you'll need for people to vote for it

[tight blaze]

oh wait when did u come back

[runic viper]

What type of game are you going to do and what is the resolution?

[tight blaze]

also i agree

[full sonnet]

now that I think about it, Freyja's name sounds familiar, but can't rmember from where

[full sonnet]

what kind of game u got cooking

I Don't have drone sprites actually, replied to wrong message

[runic viper]

I could make you one but i don't know how big sprites are supposed to be

like shmup or something?

or shooter

[high prawn]

I want to make a multiplayer game with ~5 players flying around the harrison temple as drones finding the materials to restore it, and ~2 players flying around and taking down the builder drones.
A 64x64 or 128x128 res should be enough for pixel art style, I think

So need 1 sprite for the builder drones and 1 sprite for the hunter drones

[runic viper]

Do you have group i could join?

[high prawn]

It's juste me, but we can team up

[runic viper]

Sure

[high prawn]

I dm'd u

[fair plover]

hey im curious about making games but all i know is java, is it possible to make games with java ?

[worthy patio]

Yes

[unreal herald]

imo you could make a decent game jam game without knowing how to code at all

[worthy patio]

Also if you're up for a challenge, C# is very similar to Java, so you could use Unity

[fair plover]

ooh ok thanks

ig using online assets is the way to go haha

[full sonnet]

don't forget to copy the licenses of all those assets

[cursive dawn]

You have unlocked new role

[full sonnet]

good luck

[unreal herald]

no need to reinvent the wheel. execution is what matters. believe in yourself

[worthy patio]

You have the multiplayer figured out?

[scenic night]

||expanding on it this.
Your start the game with all the all the mechanics, starting out not knowing how to use them and how you got them
you go through a gauntlet with existing mechanics
After each room where you have to use the mechanic to solve a puzzle or platformer, you will lose the mechanic that was mainly in that room.
you then gain the memory from that mechanic by going into a section that only has that mechanic. thus understanding what it means losing it as you gained the memory but lost the ability.

rise and repeat for existing mechanics and at the end of the game you are left with nothing but movement and the memories that were once lost and forgoten.

narrative driven game i suppose

Feel free to claim the idea.
And good luck
||

[kindred narwhal]

But yeah, I'm making a point and click game

Typing out the script now

[high prawn]

Shouldn't be too hard, surely

[worthy patio]

I've done it before

You should probably using Netcode for GameObjects and Unity Relay

assuming you are using Unity

[outer schooner]

I just had a golden idea but I'm not sure if I'd be able to do it solo nevermind the idea is crap

[worthy patio]

Another option is Mirror + EpicOnlineServices. Warning though, EOS has quite a lengthy setup process, probably an hour or two

[random anvil]

Photon might be easier

[high prawn]

Will look into it, thanks for the pointers

[worthy patio]

only 20 concurrent players though I think

unless you are willing to spend 100+ on a gamejam

[full sonnet]

what u got?

[random anvil]

I think 20 is enough for a game jam

[outer schooner]

thinking about it more, the idea actually kinda sucks

[full sonnet]

rip

I know how that feels

[unreal herald]

I think multiplayer games are very difficult for engagement. I think for a game jam, the games should be mostly self contained.

[worthy patio]

god I just watched Asmongold play Andy and Leyley so that's the only type of game I can think about 🤣

[novel sonnet]

that with neuro and evil would be something

[rare shuttle]

better call hjal...

[soft totem]

OH NO

aghhh

this theme

[novel sonnet]

super neuro sisters, sorry vedal your anny is in another server

[soft totem]

is not ideal

i have basically zero ideas

[grizzled hazel]

I'm thinking of using some of the songs that Neuro/Evil sang, maybe use Youtube to download the sounds files, anyone have a better idea for this?

[old swan]

My idea for the game jam was directly tied in the idea of an AI gaining consciousness and trying to escape (inspired by something Neuro said), I'm wondering how to tie that in with the lost and found theme

[soft totem]

wait i just got a great idea from this

Vedal lost the twitch pass and email

and your aka neurosamas job is to find them again

[old swan]

There's a couple elements of progression I could tie it in? Like capabilities you are rediscovering?

Idk

[grizzled hazel]

[soft totem]

what are you planning ??????????????

[soft totem]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OeWmNDMRcV5cFLP6AAGlHrrXOCUlHvRIOjiQMYwAT1M/edit?usp=sharing

[unborn orbit]

best idea for game jam

[soft totem]

WHAT THE FRICK

ima write that down

[unreal herald]

oh so go through the ARG and take lessons therebasically

[outer schooner]

did evil neuro design the Neuro ARG

[soft totem]

finally unity opened

[rare shuttle]

oh hey you're back
do you still need me for the art or anything?

[soft totem]

good i can basically steal my existing movement rig and controller grom my game

[fair plover]

btw what does vedal use to make his game ? is it also unity? and language ?

[unreal herald]

reverse the order. the ai has "found" freedom but has lost its purpose. its life was better before it found freedom.

[soft totem]

unity and because unity C#

[fair plover]

ah

[soft totem]

ima just yoink the scripts and models from my game (Grapply Game)

[unreal herald]

you can still then make the game based around puzzles, platforming ,or whatever if the plot fitss

[soft totem]

as we can do that

[fair plover]

did he also make the lava lamp in unity ? idk why it was cool

[jovial sparrow]

my game is just going to be a better version of ved's lava lamp

[soft totem]

and what about the theme?

[fair plover]

escape the lava lamp

[jovial sparrow]

uhhh if you click it it disappears

[tiny laurel]

finding the exit i see

[fair plover]

make all the moving circles like a bullet hell game

and make it to the end lmao

[tiny laurel]

evil turned nuro small and stuffed her into a lava lamp

[soft totem]

and what is lost?

[fair plover]

sanity

[soft totem]

and what is found?

[tiny laurel]

sanity

[fair plover]

yup

[rigid stag]

Bro I had the same idea

[soft totem]

ah understandable

i think ima go in vc muted and work on the game

[tiny laurel]

work together then

[soft totem]

rip

[fair plover]

lmao ima just discover unity

[unreal herald]

no guys seriously please dm me for plot consultation if you're going for a more serious story. im good at dark comedy and irony as well. the lost and found theme is surprisingly very fitting for me

[soft totem]

no screenshary

[rigid stag]

I haven't started yet I donno if I can commit 100% so I'm working solo, I don't wanna bother someone else u know

[soft totem]

look at The Google Doc

[worthy patio]

Anyone need a programmer? 😂 I can't think of a good idea

[tiny laurel]

i can help with ideas

free idea: neuro was playing with Mr.Dumbass (her dog) and then he got lost in Vedal's basement. she goes to find Mr.Dumbass only to discover scary vedal secrets like her clones

[fair plover]

and she finds sentience

[unreal herald]

I can wrap any game idea or mechanic that you have into a fitting theme

[tiny laurel]

another idea is the harrison temple idea i made but its too big for a game jam probably

[rigid stag]

Before the theme I had an idea where you play as vedal and neuro is your guide narrator and evil is the main villain. But the twist is neuro was manipulating vedal to get rid of evil and then u fight neuro as the last boss to gain back control over her. I don't think I can fit the theme with this idea

[tiny laurel]

just make it so you are trying to get evil neuro back from a virus controlling her

but the virus part was a lie

so in a sense you are trying to find evil

maybe after the twist, neuro sends you to an unknown realm and its up to you to find and defeat neuro to restore order

[rigid stag]

That's an interesting idea. I'll play with it a bit thanks

[unreal herald]

evil neuro has lost her way. vedal and neuro are on a mission to make evil find her "humanity" again. then you can still have the plot twist at the end

[tiny laurel]

ask the team in https://discord.com/channels/574720535888396288/1190007554810576896 if they need spooky story writer

[rare shuttle]

cookinj

[soft totem]

https://imgur.com/aFkgx9b not cookin

[unreal herald]

it can even be a double plot twist where evil really did go down the evil path, but as she's dying from evil and vedal, she finds the right path. She says she's sorry and that she'll do better in her next life. and then vedal would be hit wit the double wammy of neuro betraying him and tricking him into killing evil

[rare shuttle]

yeah nobody has invited me do dev group so i work on my own for now, when i finish the sheet it's free to use ig

[grizzled hazel]

I will need help with art and references to neuro since I haven't been tuning in for a long time so your help is greatly appreciated

[strong falcon]

Cooking ?

[soft totem]

anyone have a good vedal image?

[dense reef]

[frosty mantle]

[worthy patio]

[dense reef]

what do you say cj

[soft totem]

i have ideas but no team

[dense reef]

maybe another pixel artists...

think about it... more art and more ideas...

[worthy patio]

all I have is an open Unity project and a dream

[muted cargo]

trying to create some blocks

[soft totem]

ah godot

i still have fever dream about godot

[compact hill]

what will you use?

[robust mortar]

some team still needs someone to make song ?

[soft totem]

unity because ...uh i totally didnt rip some scripts and the player prefab out of my game

[tame tulip]

I told you, you don't need much. Just go from there, it will evolve

[young solar]

If only most tutorials weren't out of date

[slender yew]

this is what I've made so far

[soft totem]

hah

the player will be neuro in mine

[slender yew]

I spent one hour trying to figure out how to make an image move in pygame

this is great

[tame tulip]

I've drained 25% of a whiskey bottle and made some tunes. Now for the game

[soft totem]

anyone have a good text to speech ai i can use for vedal?

[old swan]

Need some community input

[soft totem]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/virtualyoutuber/images/5/5c/Vedal_Corpa_outfit.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20231207170703 good image?

[old swan]

I started out writing my game (a 2D hacking sim) in Godot, but now I'm considering restarting it in Unity

If I'm going to do so, now at this point would be the time to do it so early on

[soft totem]

what do you feel more comfortable in?

@old swan

[tame tulip]

@old swan you should work with what you're comfortable in, this is just a gamejam

[soft totem]

ahhh

anybody have a image of vedals vtuber form

[candid mason]

Use an engine that you can actually use.

[ocean charm]

like, humanoid form?

[candid mason]

time limited jams are not good places to learn engines.

[old swan]

I've worked in both. I guess Godot would be better as this project isn't using much in the way of 3D shits at all, so prolly an engine with less bloat would be better.

[soft totem]

no like him in the neurosama streams

[candid mason]

Generally better out of the box 2D flow.

[soft totem]

aka tutel

[old swan]

Honestly the technical aspect isn't even the one I'm stressing out about, I can pretty easily figure out / google it. My biggest concern is just shoring up the mechanics and ensuring that the game is actually fun to play.

[candid mason]

The engine does not matter for that.

[old swan]

Yeah

[rigid stag]

You can ask people to playtest and reserve the last day for polish and feedback perhaps

[soft totem]

bruh i gorgot to set ground to ground

[candid mason]

I'd throw this in as a resource for gamejams in general.
https://kenney.nl/

[soft totem]

thanks

[candid mason]

He makes a lot of easy to use assets that can either be used for prototyping or just making a jam game look presentable.

[soft totem]

im gonna make the page rq and credit him

[candid mason]

Credit him, but don't use his branding in menus/pages, he does not like that.

[worthy patio]

FINALLY thought of an idea

only two 2 whole hours

[soft totem]

:O

the jam started at 8pm

at 11 im boutta hit the sack

rn is near 10

i neeed to

CRUNCH

to get the basic gameplay loop done

https://imgur.com/EjfkxVg

found a vedal image

[worthy patio]

The jam quite literally started 47 seconds after I woke up

[soft totem]

gj you have more time than me

i ate when it started

[candid mason]

I have the idea.

[worthy patio]

You have a pixel shader??

[bright dome]

now it's time to improve on environment and certain demonic antagonist

kinda

im doing it in godot

and changed resolution

[worthy patio]

ahhh

smart

godot is great, I've never done any 3d in it though

[bright dome]

it has some issues, but it's quite good

[neon night]

im gonna ask a stupid question but we can use any engine and the game doesnt need to revolve around neuro right?

[soft totem]

dammit

i cant find a suitable voice for vedal

[bright dome]

any game engine, but it should contain neuro

[neon night]

damn!!!

are you sure about that?

[bright dome]

not really

but it's neuro sama gamejam

so it would be nice

i guess

[candid mason]

Godot's 3D is one I'd still consider WIP (look up road to vostok to see what it can do), but is surprisingly easy to use.

[sharp marsh]

rules are here https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam

[quartz hatch]

how do i fix

[candid mason]

It does not say it in the rules, I still know how to make it work.

[worthy patio]

Oh I've been following that game since the beginning, didn't know they ported

[candid mason]

It looks like my middle mouse is in fact dying, gonna be rough editing anything like that.

[quartz hatch]

oh thats better

[soft totem]

wait can i send images?

no

... no i cant

[young solar]

No embed perms

[soft totem]

yeah

time to make another imgur link!

https://imgur.com/i2JnClh

[tiny laurel]

https://tenor.com/view/ip-grabber-ip-grabber-thanos-gif-21846609

[soft totem]

ok

ima go p3 myself off a cliff seya!

[tiny laurel]

[young solar]

Watching Vedal coding is so frustrating, because I know enough to where it makes sense

But I know too little to do any of it myself

[candid mason]

Well, you have an opportunity to fix that.

[tiny laurel]

im watching and learning

[young solar]

[soft totem]

my motto is if it aint broke dont fix it

as you can see in my dialouge code

btw

https://thoseawesomeguys.com/prompts/ this is useful

[young solar]

Well I need to get it working to begin with

[soft totem]

hah

[quartz hatch]

anyone wanna join? this is what i have so far https://jam23.catt0s.win/

[bright dome]

welp, it's time for hardest thing and by this i mean modeling demonic evil neuros

[young solar]

Yo I can join in on this if you'd like

I can help with pixelart and stuff as well

What do you need help with?

[quartz hatch]

idk

btw all the spites are only 5x5

[young solar]

No problem at all, but I'll gladly join either way

[jovial sparrow]

the game will be 100x better if you switch z and x

[twin nebula]

Capitalization and the coder socks don't disappear after you grab the turtle.

[quartz hatch]

yeah ik

[soft totem]

i have addded talking tutel

[young solar]

@quartz hatch Do you have anywhere you want to talk if you want the help?

Instead of in here

[quartz hatch]

DMs ig

[quartz hatch]

sadly thats locked in the engine, i suppose i can change it in the export tho

[topaz tusk]

ITSSO COOL ITS SOO CUTE OMG HASDHSADH

[soft totem]

yippie talking tutel

ok ima just boot up twitch.tv

[analog sierra]

I'm cooking

[soft totem]

im now live on https://twitch.tv/lightmaxiforever if anybody wants to see me fail at game development

[analog sierra]

also just found out I can't use ZUN's music

what am i gonna do for music

[soft totem]

rip

[analog sierra]

it's neurover

[soft totem]

uhh bosca cecoil

[analog sierra]

you are a lifesaver

thank you

[fiery merlin]

just hit up our good old friend kevin macleod

[visual steeple]

Or go to itch and look for assets

[fiery merlin]

theres a fair amount of music you can use out there if you look for it

[visual steeple]

i.e. https://itch.io/game-assets/free/tag-music

[fiery merlin]

if you don't mind adding a "music by" disclaimer, this one's a personal favorite https://musmus.main.jp/english.html

[candid mason]

Does anyone have a 16x16 turtle sprite?

Okay, I have it now.

[outer schooner]

but thats nwero not neuro

[tame tulip]

I shouldn't consider this for a gamejam, but... in case I have the time... any dvorak enjoyers?

[analog sierra]

scratch is such a good engine

[dense reef]

we cookin up a hot game with story

you begin as vedal and you find the lost rum

[tiny laurel]

wow so hot

[dense reef]

each rum bottle will trigger an unskipabble 15m cutscene telling the history of the rum

(thats not the game dw)

but its a cool roguelike idea

except the cutscene part

[tiny laurel]

why doesnt he just buy rum instead

[analog sierra]

tutel brained

[dense reef]

why buy it when its there

[tiny laurel]

its easy to buy than find lost rum

[soft totem]

hah

i alreaddy added dialouge and movement

[dense reef]

we already added... uhm

you can start the game

uhm

[soft totem]

i just lost all my shit

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

i am in pain

I lost al the dialouge i wrote

[tiny laurel]

there should be a buy rum ending

[candid mason]

easiest music to make yourself would be chiptune stuff. i was playing around with a random number generator and made this yesterday (not using for gamejam).

[dense reef]

our team is having eepy time

we have the good sleep schedule advantage

well thats all the "jokes" for now
good luck to everyone, remember to enjoy the gamejam!

[candid mason]

as the QA person on my team, i pretty much get today off.

[dense reef]

also remember to eat, drink, sleep and others needs

[tiny laurel]

slacking on the job already

[wintry heath]

hiii sry gamers i heard about the game jam going live tmr :,) im an animator and ik sum java and C, anyone need help?

[dense reef]

gamejam is already live

[wintry heath]

BRUH I THOUGHT IT WAS TMR

[dense reef]

gl with finding a team!

[wintry heath]

lmao thx x_x

[tiny laurel]

theme is "lost and found"

[dense reef]

check pinned messages

[tiny laurel]

guess you have to be a solo

[wintry heath]

does it have to be done in unity? i jus see tutle workin in it but also fuk unity :/

[tiny laurel]

nope

[wintry heath]

okay chill

[tiny laurel]

anything works

[dense reef]

you can use whatever you want

theres people using scratch

[wintry heath]

KEKW SCRATCH

okay chill ty ToT

[dense reef]

they're having fun, its all that matters

[tiny laurel]

scratch is good

[wintry heath]

nah who knows maybe the scratch nerds are gunna have the sickest most functioning games by the end and will win

[soft totem]

why fuk unity?

unity gud

[tiny laurel]

well you better start now

[soft totem]

i already have a basic prototype setup

[wintry heath]

devs did sum insane stuff, weird deals with devs having to pay for uninstalls look it up

[soft totem]

it was for installing and the ceo wanted to bail

[candid mason]

You do you, I'm doing something in Godot.

[soft totem]

he is gone now

[candid mason]

Not uninstalls, installs.

[wintry heath]

aahhh my bad, yuh it was a prob for free game devs i remember

[hardy bronze]

Screw it, unexperienced and solo here i go

[strong falcon]

Fuck unity i'm literally doing Scratch

[wintry heath]

oh ur so based

[tiny laurel]

you can always ask for help

[wintry heath]

@hardy bronze wait gamer, do u need sumone to work with??? whatchu code in??

[hardy bronze]

I have literally no idea

[tiny laurel]

wdym

[wintry heath]

LMAOOO do u draw?

have u ever programmed before?

[candid mason]

Can I give you 1 QA work?

[wintry heath]

@hardy bronze any ideas for a game maybe? ;-;

[tiny laurel]

u need ideas?

[wintry heath]

YES

i can draw i can code i cannot idea unforch NotLikeThis

[tiny laurel]

Evil is neglected by tutel, so she goes outside to play in the nearby forest but gets lost. she needs to find a way back while trying not to die from the environment

[wintry heath]

THATS CUTE

[tiny laurel]

while she is trying to go back, she gets sad and stuff and thinks about family stuff (sadge moment)

[soft totem]

lore?

[candid mason]

I picked a pack from kenney, and now I'm going from there. One I wanted to use but never had anything for it.

[tiny laurel]

i can write more lore if people need it

[wintry heath]

BROTHEER I COULD ACTUALLY FUK THAT UP IM SO INTO THIS

[tiny laurel]

happy to help more

[hardy bronze]

just once in a program called construct 3 for a school assignment years ago

[soft totem]

im already making my own lore

[wintry heath]

im so sorry gamer ive genuinely never heard of that in my entire life

[hardy bronze]

I know

[tiny laurel]

can help when you run out of creative juice

[hardy bronze]

Welp, imma be off now

[soft totem]

tutorial looks cursed but eh

[unreal herald]

wait is there a google doc?

[wintry heath]

I will run to u for help if i get stuck o7

[soft totem]

in lore vedal made it

so i can excuse the tutorial looking like horseshrott

[tiny laurel]

you can just have tutorial text on a sign instead of on screen

[soft totem]

no

the text looks good

i mean the PLATTFORMING

the assess

assets*

[tiny laurel]

its just your gamestyle its not bad

[soft totem]

but eh

[soft totem]

hah

no

[tiny laurel]

i tried

[soft totem]

im using premade assets for the tutorial

[tiny laurel]

make it funny by having a game narrator point it out

[soft totem]

and im not really using them well

[soft totem]

its the tutelial

(tutel + tutorial)

[tiny laurel]

voice acting?

[soft totem]

give me a good tts that sounds like vedal

also one does not ask why im still developing at 11:18PM

[tiny laurel]

do the voice yourself

[tiny laurel]

sounds normal to me

[soft totem]

i sound like a 10 year old that inhaled like 10 thousand pounds of crack

i wouldnt subject vedal to that

im 13 btw

so no voicecrack yet 😢

[tiny laurel]

just pitch voice down

the more scuffed the better

[soft totem]

no

please

istg

if i have to do the voiceacting

I WILL ACTUALLY INHALE CRACK

[reef coral]

Mate, I'm still thinking of what game to make, like should it be a side scroller or..

[tiny laurel]

i can do it for you if you dont like your voice

[tiny laurel]

do you have a story?

[soft totem]

oki

[tiny laurel]

which type are you most familiar with?

[tiny laurel]

ofc only if you want to add voices

[soft totem]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OeWmNDMRcV5cFLP6AAGlHrrXOCUlHvRIOjiQMYwAT1M/edit?usp=sharing

here is the google doc for the gamejam

[gleaming ledge]

Whoa why we inhaling crck now

Lmak

Lmao

[tiny laurel]

dont question it

[gleaming ledge]

Kek

[analog sierra]

The only way my game will be connected to the theme is the story and I suck at writing

[soft totem]

reasons ...

[soft totem]

hah

[analog sierra]

it's neurover

[soft totem]

btw

you can see my prog over at https://twitch.tv/lightmaxiforever

[wild forge]

Updating my human_suffering.md for this project. A great way to destress, and I'll be doing it for the rest of my projects.

[soft totem]

hah

[analog sierra]

Progress update (I used a lot of assets from an earlier project of mine that was cancelled)

also holy my laptop can't handle recording and scratch at the same time

[tiny laurel]

can your laptop handle bullet hell?

[soft totem]

menu that is better than mine

[soft totem]

touhou 12

aka rensenware

[analog sierra]

I hope so

[tiny laurel]

[jaunty ivy]

Is this a solo or a small team jam?

[tiny laurel]

you choose

[soft totem]

wohoooo

it works

my tutelorial works

[analog sierra]

i forgot about a tutorial

[tiny laurel]

i dont think there is a team size limit or minimum

[analog sierra]

how do i teach touhou

[soft totem]

oh no

you have doomed yourself

[analog sierra]

welp

at least i'm faster than

[soft totem]

haha

yes

[analog sierra]

movement

there's probably a way smarter way to do this

but this is how i roll

[soft totem]

that is the fattest scratch code ive ever seen

just one question

why are you using scratch?

[placid vessel]

oh my she's perfect

[jovial sparrow]

yoo anyone here have a 3d model of

[analog sierra]

i don't know any other engine

i can't code for the life of me

[soft totem]

no

i only hav png of vedal

[jovial sparrow]

🤙 guess ill just use a png for now

[placid vessel]

Kat has one #1142900442054021141 message

[soft totem]

ok after im completley done with the tutelial im gonna hit the sack

[reef coral]

Auuugh, I have an idea... Idk if it will work though

[soft totem]

ok

[waxen loom]

Lost and found is the theme? Hm...

[soft totem]

time to test level loading

[analog sierra]

how the hell am i supposed to implement screenshake in scratch

[low cloud]

Have a function/loop on each object that moves in sync on a message or if a value changes maybe?

[viscid dragon]

👀

Unity actually isn't as hard to learn as I was expecting

[soft totem]

hah

[tiny laurel]

neuro kong game?

[young solar]

Unity is easy to learn, coding is hard to learn

[viscid dragon]

Going for neuro spelunky. Gotta find those gift subs.

[soft totem]

yippie

i can sleeep

[low cloud]

Yeaaaha the more complicated the less documentation/guides you find

[wild forge]

For me, I am my documation

[low cloud]

Ah yes

Pretty much the same for myself, just trial and error until it eventually works

[analog sierra]

Guys what is a projectile that neuro would shoot except for lasers or emotional diamonds

[soft totem]

time 2 hit the sackyies

[tiny laurel]

vedal himself

[wild forge]

good work solder! (I can't spell help me)

[viscid dragon]

throwing turtles

[analog sierra]

is ||the final boss|| so uh

[wild forge]

Hearts?

[tiny laurel]

fight fire with fire

[analog sierra]

thank you

[wild forge]

Np

[narrow gate]

So I'm late af but if anyone needs a pixel artist I'm down to scribble in paint

[tiny laurel]

there should be a thread channel just for team finding and recruiting

[narrow gate]

neat

[tiny laurel]

it doesnt exist yet

[narrow gate]

welp

[wild forge]

I'm personally on this channel, and I've seen some of the groups recruit from here. So best of luck!

[wintry heath]

GAMER

HI

DO U NEED A PROGRAMER

[analog sierra]

sound

[narrow gate]

Nah only pixel art

I can't program

[tiny laurel]

so you do need a programmer

[wintry heath]

lul okay works out i can program

[viscid dragon]

🤔

[narrow gate]

DM me

[tame tulip]

This conversation is

[low cloud]

Well anyone else that needs a programmer? lmao

[tiny laurel]

make your own sounds

you can join them

two programmers better than one programmer

[low cloud]

Indeed indeeed

[tiny laurel]

go DM them then

[soft totem]

what do you guys think

in the state of the games rn

who would win?

[tiny laurel]

Evil

[tame tulip]

me

[soft totem]

true

[solemn harness]

what are the rules and etiquette around using unreal's built-in templates?

[soft totem]

show it

[unreal herald]

whoever uses my plot ideas will win. maybe. nobody's taken me up on them.

[soft totem]

any

[rigid stag]

U can use it I think

[tame tulip]

N , not yet, maybe tomorrow

[low cloud]

"Feel free to utilize pre-made, publicly available, or purchased assets, ensuring proper credit is given as necessary. "

[tiny laurel]

who needs monster sounds for their game? just curious

seems like everyone here is an artist or programmer but no sound designer

[soft totem]

if you want to see mine its at https://twitch.tv/lightmaxiforever

[cursive dawn]

You have unlocked new role

[soft totem]

wait

YIPPIE EMBED PERMS AT LAST

[bright dome]

it's time to make hair for my neuro model

[tiny laurel]

You have unlocked new role

[tame tulip]

but you're not streaming

[soft totem]

vods

i should have vods on

[low cloud]

Everything will just be silent

[tame tulip]

I mean.. sure, your vods do show something
Nevermind, they show a lot

[tiny laurel]

i can make some monster noises

[reef coral]

Making a Darkiplier esque thing (ladeV)

[soft totem]

vedal data at risk

rip

[low cloud]

Oh good luck

[tame tulip]

Pretty based if it works

[tiny laurel]

now google slides is one of the best game engines

[soft totem]

no god

[reef coral]

Bro, What's next, PowerPoint??

[low cloud]

Google slides my favorite game engine

[reef coral]

Wait no, Excel?

[soft totem]

nvm saved by the wearis

[reef coral]

Ouch

Downloading Godot since i forgor to do it earlier

[tiny laurel]

you can make a click adventure with google slides and its not taxing on your pc

[haughty thunder]

I think maybe I can keep making publicly available pixel sprites during the jam

[soft totem]

i make my own :p

huh

[tiny laurel]

That going to save the non artistic programmers

[reef coral]

i forgot the pixel art website

crap

help

[wild forge]

this is definitely an "Engine"

[reef coral]

Wait, should i download the C# support?

i'm still researching this

[low cloud]

If you prefer to code in C#

[slate marlin]

Banger

[low cloud]

But from what I've read there's better support if you use the base language

[reef coral]

Alright then, since i'm a beginner

i'd do that

[soft totem]

here you guys go infinite meme potential

[reef coral]

dawg, it always becomes a webp file

[wild forge]

Frick

[soft totem]

YES

[soft totem]

i think i will add this at the end of the game

[tiny laurel]

A little too serious

[tiny laurel]

Just make sure to credit me

[reef coral]

uhh

[compact hill]

Dumb plot idea: Vedal lost the ability to love and you need to find it so he can say it back!

[soft totem]

i .. i dont know ehat to say i want to pull the pin on a grenade and cook it in my hands

[soft totem]

no >:3

[tiny laurel]

Good idea, make it so the player has to say “Neuro I love you” to beat the game

[soft totem]

wait @tiny laurel dsned me that buff vedal image

[scenic cave]

If that ends up as one of the top rated, then Vedal has to play it

[placid vessel]

@haughty thunder's sprites are so cute

[vocal copper]

question: how do I submit a scratch project?

[analog sierra]

There's ways to convert scratch projects to HTML, and you can submit those

also scratch is so stupid i have to do this in order to get it to read a shift input since it isn't in the dropout menu already

why am i using this

[low cloud]

Isn't there like a string/str thingy?

[analog sierra]

not that i can find

[wary belfry]

the

use variables

[wild forge]

Don't forget to set them at start!

[low cloud]

Or use a list and add all extra keys to it

[analog sierra]

too much work

[low cloud]

Well fair enough

But I recommend that you at least make it into join(shift,)

[fickle musk]

Would it be considered cheating to make a bunch of free neuro assets for people to use for their games?

[low cloud]

Then again your approach is way funnier

[analog sierra]

If they're public assets (anyone can use them), its fine

wait no that was only before it started, now that it's started you can create whatever assets you want, private or public

so it's not cheating

[fickle musk]

Nice
I needed an excuse to draw a crap load of neuro-related things

[low cloud]

This exists as well

[ember horizon]

kind of interested in participating, but i know itd take me more than the whole time to come up with a game to make lool

wheres the idea guys when u need em

[vocal copper]

Alright, thank you

[clever gull]

I was considering a strategy game with Neuro and her different AIs(TTS, vision, minecraft, osu, etc), having to locate and learn them again after her AI breaks down or something

Unfortunately, what little time I would have had got yeeted

[timber whale]

<--- me returning home to see that the game jam theme is "lost and found!?"

[vivid wharf]

Ok Neuro, sing Shelter

[ember horizon]

has there ever been any visual representation of what the swarm looks like? are we just drones

[tiny laurel]

I used discord remix so I don’t actually have the image file for it

[vivid wharf]

Neuro's model

[rigid stag]

i'm lost

[strong falcon]

Life fucked me over with a lack of time, but I at least have some very rudimentry code done...

[torn torrent]

lost my wacom pen i'll have to do it all on mouse

xd

[analog sierra]

neuro in rainworld

[tiny laurel]

Wait I lied

[brazen marlin]

Are you offering monster sounds?

[sick wagon]

It's just gonna be moaning sounds, isn't it

[analog sierra]

noises

[feral quarry]

guys turns out learning a new engine for a gamejam is not efficient

[ember horizon]

why learn a new engine lol

[feral quarry]

I wanna learn godot as i don't really like unity

[tiny laurel]

Depends on what kind of monster you are talking about

[tiny laurel]

if that’s what the monster does

[bitter compass]

is the game jam still going?

[feral quarry]

it barely started

[bitter compass]

HOW MUCH TIME?

[tiny laurel]

Look in pinned

All details are there

[brazen marlin]

Cute ones in the background making idle monster chatter

[tiny laurel]

Like cat?

Let me see the monster

[brazen marlin]

DMed

[ember horizon]

are there any characters in the neuroverse aside from harrison temple and melba toast?

[brazen marlin]

John Lemon

[tiny laurel]

Mr.dumbass the dog

[analog sierra]

The game jam ends at <t:1704049200:f>

so there's still about 3 days left

i can finish a game in 3 days

[brazen marlin]

Doge the Dino

[analog sierra]

maybe you can add some collab people too

[ember horizon]

roster might get too big for the time frame if i did that, was hoping i just forgot about one or two people neuro invented

[lament matrix]

is it merely theme specified?

[analog sierra]

Yes, you can interpret the theme however you want. Everything else is up to you

I do think it has to be neuro themed too though (even though that's obvious )

[past owl]

I'm not doing neuro theme unless I have time D:

[analog sierra]

welp

[ember horizon]

what sort of theme are you doing?

[analog sierra]

anyway i'm gonna hit the sack i've cooked enough for today

[analog sierra]

Neuro touhou game

idk how i'll incorporate the lost and found theme though

[ember horizon]

yea lost and found is a rather specific concept that idk how to work with either

[analog sierra]

I'm thinking of only having the story be "lost and found themed"

[ember horizon]

im thinking of making like an idle game or something where you play as vedal paying off his 150m debt loool

[analog sierra]

lmao

anyway i'm actually gonna go now

bye

[ember horizon]

byebye

[placid vessel]

same good luck

Godot has great starter guides for anyone who wants to try it https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/getting_started/first_2d_game/index.html

Hi guys I just finished minijam and then I saw this jam

[magic rampart]

game concept: Vedal lost his money and is in dept and must find

[placid vessel]

Welcome

[magic rampart]

oh welcome!

[candid mason]

Hiiiii!

Should I join a team? I can make both art and code but not music, but my teaming experiences has been bad

[hidden herald]

What engine do you use for your projects?

[candid mason]

I use godot

But anything except unity and unreal I can use

[quartz lichen]

game concept: Vedal lost 150 mil and Neuro broke and auctioned off pieces of his screen to try to help recover some of the money and you have to try to find and get back pieces of the screen and at the start the screen looks cracked and u only have 1 piece u can see from until u find certain pieces to put back on the screen to see that section of the screen

[lament matrix]

got! i may join this but have to prepare my exam

[tiny laurel]

vedal taking back things he auctioned off, classic tutel behavior

[reef coral]

Okay, i got my Game Concept: Neuro's Memory had gotten fragmented, causing bits and pieces of her to be lost into the world. (ladeV caused this) And It is up to Vedal with his Debt to fight and Find all her Memories or ladeV is gonna Fully Delete Neuro

I can't think of proper game mechanics to make

[reef coral]

I can't even make like a thing yet

[bright dome]

i do be cookin a bit

please tell me how much beautiful evil is

[feral quarry]

enforcing a naming convention be kinda goofy

I've given up on it, and every other good habit in python.

Progress report, still doing graphics. Evil was chosen because of lack of colors, The hair will be lowered later after dinner.

I'm a bit limited, but something will happen one way or another (yes this is a terminal game, if py2exe doesn't have a launch in terminal I'm screwed probably)

[rigid stag]

...

yea i give up

[placid vessel]

she's beautiful

[grizzled hazel]

it's perfect

[rain anvil]

Its amazing. I want it as emoji

[wild forge]

where is the emoji of this?

[normal drift]

Text games are badass. Cool idea

[kindred narwhal]

Alright, I'm done writing out the written script for the point and click and all of the possible interactions I have in mind, all of that is 14 pages long.

Now all that's left is actually coding, doing the art and voices (all also done by me), Dunno if I'll actually go through with all of this, really wish I knew what the prizes were for the proper motivation.

If the info on the prizes don't come out tomorrow, I'll probably just set this as a fan side project on the back burner, because I have other projects to prioritize too.

update on how my game is going

[gray musk]

Lordy, my sleep schedule is already messed up.

Fell asleep at 5am
Woke up at 6am
Fell back asleep at 11am
Woke up at 1pm

[slender yew]

yes it took me that long to just do that

[gray musk]

This is legit v cute though

[slender yew]

now I just need to hide evil and give the player a way to find her

[gray musk]

Surely that would be similar mechanics to snake right

[slender yew]

funny you say that, I asked chat gpt for a snake game using pygame and I used that as a guide on what to do

[gray musk]

I believe in U!

[slender yew]

for some reason the hardest thing so far was making nwero move, and it wasn't even that complicated I was just dumb

[slender yew]

thank you

[reef coral]

i need help on making custom vedal and ladev sprites

[wary belfry]

neuro has walk now

[reef coral]

can someone give me the hexcode for neuro's hair color

[scenic night]

which part specifically

#D4B8A3 on the lighter side
#CCAA8F on the darker side

seems to be a range from what I can get on the color picker i am using
