2023-game-jam

[quartz hatch]

You have unlocked new role

[candid mason]

[hidden herald]

i did also solo dev, definitely way less polish in the game than if i had bit of help, but was still fun experience

[short lion]

You have unlocked new role

[sweet sierra]

we wouldn't be able to do it without you tho
you coded everything really nicely
big thanks

[uneven bison]

We only have one comment

[frank plover]

what is new role

[ebon dust]

evil would be proud of you

[graceful sonnet]

bruh

[frozen heron]

Making models was fun

[candid mason]

[frosty mantle]

Btw I can vouch for Godot as the game jam engine. Iterations are SUPER fast, it is a blast to work with.

[half raft]

🤏

[candid mason]

Ye thanks for the rig

[analog sierra]

CJ how am I supposed to do the code and painting puzzle i'm stuck help please

[molten obsidian]

Anyone had any success launching Harrison Temple? I'm assuming a cutscene is supposed to play on launch, but I'm just stuck on the game screen with Neuro, two braziers and no walls.

[hidden herald]

python syntax, my beloved

[zealous oxide]

send game pls

[rocky fern]

why are so many games desktop only

[frank plover]

everyone look at this animation they did so good

[frozen heron]

Any time

[worthy patio]

I will definitely be using godot next time lol. Waiting for the long unity loads every time was PAINFUL

[frosty mantle]

Safe note has the clue

[cobalt inlet]

95% of working code by YOU

[prisma bobcat]

insert Vedal screaming to Neuro about the ORDER

[analog sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-gif-26460616

[dense reef]

i planned to invite ostium

[frosty mantle]

I don't like Python, but I absolutely like GDScript

[tribal tinsel]

SoCute

[safe zinc]

classic

[candid mason]

I just did the animations for it, the rig itself was

[austere bridge]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449486

[analog sierra]

I thought the code would be 9652 but apparently that's wrong

[ripe summit]

we should have combined our teams for the ultimate 19 dev team 3 day gamejam...

[frozen heron]

Animating is black magic to me

[rocky fern]

same, I was surprised with how powerful it is
their physics engine is really nice

[hidden herald]

interesting. I always liked Python tbh. But since I work nowadays much with Java bc of work, I start to dislike Python slowly

[prisma bobcat]

Fun fact the code changes every game

[frozen heron]

You did fantastic

[placid solstice]

welp there is bug in tutel game that you can get infinite drone lol

[molten obsidian]

I just don't know if it's me exclusively or if the whole upload's borked

[analog sierra]

[ripe summit]

you could also just.... cheat...

[half raft]

NEXT TIME?

[candid mason]

I just looked at a real spider and copied it's movements

[frosty mantle]

And then you have Jolt
https://github.com/godot-jolt/godot-jolt

[hidden herald]

If you find a bug that helps you finish the game, then thats a feature and speedrun strat

[analog sierra]

Ok so the paper says 4312, painting 4 = 9, painting 3 = 6, painting 1 = 5, painting 2 = 2 so i don't get it

[placid solstice]

true using that you basically can skip half of the game looking that you need 2 relics to pull that off

[quartz hatch]

Have you tried one of these
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/build-godot
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/godot-ci
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/godot-action
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/godot-export

[zinc lichen]

physics bug = secret mechanic

[candid mason]

I want sleep gn everyone. Good job

[rocky fern]

wasn't that the reason why a team did not do web exports?
I made 2D though, didn't really see how it works for 3D

[short lion]

Well earned sleep, good night

[dense reef]

its easy

[safe zinc]

trust me, once the team gets bigger than 4-5 people, you need another person whose job is just to manage the people

[frosty mantle]

Nope

It quicker for me to export from the editor

[grizzled hazel]

if you guys like Rhythm game, feel free to check out the game I've made by myself, a rating would be appreciated

[safe zinc]

our team was running comms between departments like it was an actual office

[wraith matrix]

I can't believe I literally made a whole game about vedal saying it back

[frosty mantle]

We had one channel

[frank plover]

yeah we set up a whole equivelent of a slack office in the first 4 hours

[slender mantle]

Me before the start of the gamejam: yeah, I can do 2-3 songs for a project
Me at the end: scrambly finishes mixing one song 1 hours before the deadline

You certainly get over ambitious at start

[frank plover]

[graceful sonnet]

wtf

[frosty mantle]

Only one actually used for conversations LULE

[frank plover]

we had 4-5 people helping manage i think one of which was me lmao

[dense reef]

erm

yeah

was gonna say that

[frosty mantle]

[frozen heron]

Thanks for letting me focus on my art

[frank plover]

multiple MVP version tracking documents... a huge assets tracking sheet...

[tacit coral]

might as well start an actual game studio at this point

[safe zinc]

[frank plover]

thanks for making sick stuff

[zealous oxide]

We had general chat and two vc's "Programming" and "Art"

[safe zinc]

I think Ostium set up the channels

[ripe summit]

we totally used all channels

[frozen heron]

My pleasure, always

[prisma bobcat]

(sadly cant rate yet)

[frosty mantle]

Speedrun iteration

[cursive berry]

@quartz hatch I love your game, using truckers fm for music good choice, great puzzles too.

[cursive dawn]

You have unlocked new role

[short lion]

The song ended up so good though. Max volume
https://superobot1.itch.io/neuros-lost-and-found-kingdom

[frank plover]

ya ostium made the channels happen

[paper oriole]

got my game uploaded! yippeee
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449513

[frozen heron]

We have manager channels too

[ripe summit]

is that a old version?

[grizzled hazel]

thank you for your assets lol, I can't draw but I can put it together at least

[zealous oxide]

was looking forward to this

[frosty mantle]

Yep, after the UI pass

[short lion]

Hope you dig it if you check it out

[dreamy comet]

i made 5 songs yet only 2 were used

[frank plover]

yeah i hope those of us who were in teams can rate other games eventually

[quartz hatch]

<3

[vapid galleon]

lol I did 3 interactable tracks

[short lion]

Cutting content is in some ways the best and worst thing in jams best because it's important, it still sucks lol

[slender mantle]

To be fair, I did put 18 hours into one track, so

[frozen heron]

Huh?

[frosty mantle]

[scenic night]

sadly i didnt participate in the gamejam but i have huge respect for everyone participating
at least i can do is play them all

[graceful sonnet]

god damn..

[slender mantle]

awwww, that sucks

[half raft]

there are some teams that can't vote too...

[ebon dust]

wow those are so good

[soft totem]

ok i will 100% get last place

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2444979

[frank plover]

like even the team account cant vote?

[half raft]

no we did it a sec late...

[analog sierra]

Oh we sharing music?

[graceful sonnet]

this goes hardd

[soft totem]

haha

[void horizon]

grabthosekeys and the workshop remind me so much of Neon White soundtrack

[analog sierra]

Banger

[vapid galleon]

lol I cant upload my music here xd

[short lion]

Soundtrack for this https://superobot1.itch.io/neuros-lost-and-found-kingdom was listening to it on a loop during development

[vapid galleon]

guess i need to get to talk a little first

[uneven bison]

Here's an AI generated final boss music we never used

[dreamy comet]

really good, defiantly see why it took so long

[graceful sonnet]

im kinda happy with how the 1 track i did came out tho i dont usually write stuff like that
was a really fun jam tbh

[zealous oxide]

a professional producer came around the end of day one and blessed us with our title theme

[frozen heron]

Stuff that didn't make it in

[frank plover]

designs by @kind junco i love these both sm

azkii tysm 🙏 for the neuro not found soundtrack

[grizzled hazel]

this is so sick

[uneven bison]

Stuff that went unused due to time constraints

[vapid galleon]

I see I have so much to learn

[slender mantle]

There was supposed to be a whole another section with key changes and stuff, but I run out of time.
I did put in the hidden zunpets, they are there

[short lion]

https://tenor.com/bnsZJ.gif

[uneven bison]

Another thing unused were these sprites that had eyes in the hood

[frank plover]

another asset we didnt have time to add 🥺 (generated by kaz)

[slender mantle]

I really like those, great job

[bright dome]

does "Lost Her Mind" ends after piano?

[wooden coral]

https://youtu.be/xHEFOu-u64o

first playthrough i forgot that full screen exists

[analog sierra]

Tutel was supposed to have animations, in my final game tutel is just static

[dreamy comet]

yes

[bright dome]

okey

[uneven bison]

Unused Melba Toast

[bright dome]

very pretty art

[slender mantle]

That's a nice rendition of nuclear fusion

[bright dome]

music sounds good too

[uneven bison]

Melba was originally supposed to be an NPC but we didn't have enough time

Unused OSU boss attacks

[broken terrace]

what game did paccha work for

[sullen wind]

Can't wait to try all of you guys' games out, I didn't expect there to be over 100 entries!!

[safe zinc]

what game didn't they work for

[broken terrace]

wait

not alex's game

right?

[frozen heron]

(they doesn't know)

[ivory canyon]

If anyone would be so kind to play and rate, I'd be grateful Put a lot of effort into it, it's the first game I've worked on
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449505

[uneven bison]

Unused Title fonts

[broken terrace]

so uh who wants to play some games together

like a group game jam review session

[analog sierra]

I've just been playing and reviewing random unreviewed games

[broken terrace]

form a group of elite game critics

[uneven bison]

Unused Title cards

[slender mantle]

I have zero energy right now (I got sick around the start of the gamejam), but I'll try some projects tomorrow

[bright dome]

well, it's time to check whether my game can be even completed

[uneven bison]

Unused concept before I went with the concept of where Neuro lost her memories.

[broken terrace]

wait u cant rate it if you dont submit? bro

[hidden herald]

guess its one way to prevent multiple accounts or just asking random ppl to vote for their game

[slender mantle]

Also, if any composers want to talk about music with me, share stuff, etc, feel free to dm me.
If you need advice, get opinion on the mix, etc.

Been writing music for 17 years

[void horizon]

I can't stop listening to tieff's track, it is such a jam

[proper palm]

are contributors even supposed to be able to vote?

where did this information come from?

[wild forge]

Great start!

[hidden herald]

Mac moment?

[zealous oxide]

only the submitters can vote such as to prevent mass vote scewing

each team has an equal amount of vote power

[wild forge]

Framework laptop

[ivory canyon]

That actually makes sense

[ripe summit]

makes sense...

[frank plover]

Oh I assumed everyone who participated also voted

[broken terrace]

[zealous oxide]

team members should still be able to comment on other games though

[candid mason]

I am not asleep

[frozen heron]

Neither am I, yet again

[slender mantle]

I now realised how important is an eye-catching project trumbnail

[candid mason]

Why do I feel like continuing working on the game

[void horizon]

Makes sense, since we had 12 people on a team

[hidden herald]

strongest solo dev

[frozen heron]

Hey, what do you feel about asking more devs to help out now that the game is finished

[zealous oxide]

get your captains and whip em into mass reviewing

we did with ours

[frozen heron]

Too much management problems?

[candid mason]

https://tenor.com/view/death-note-gif-25596232

[zealous oxide]

[frosty mantle]

Absolutely

[broken terrace]

ummm so is it true paccha is in 69 games or is that an exageration cj

[candid mason]

Me about to go to their DM's

[frosty mantle]

Btw you can edit your game pages, just not the game itself

[void horizon]

"finished", we have final cutscene showing player defeating a boss that is not implemented in the game

[frosty mantle]

You'll never know

[ripe summit]

we have the same issue

[zealous oxide]

ok but you guy's ending animation was so damn good

[frozen heron]

Game jam*

[zealous oxide]

like holy

[broken terrace]

still funny how ppl started realising paccha wasnt just in their team lol

[candid mason]

CJ I've started using your emote but IDK why

[frosty mantle]

[hidden herald]

[crimson latch]

[uneven bison]

We are based, we didn't use paccha

[candid mason]

[void horizon]

I started using Crimon emote

[broken terrace]

paccha must be the type of person who cant say no

[candid mason]

[wraith matrix]

I wonder if anyone's played my game yet. Honestly curious, yet also equally terrified of what people might think

[slender mantle]

I don't know who paccha is and I think I am afraid to find out

[candid mason]

I offered to pay

[crimson latch]

this the temmie emote what you mean

[candid mason]

Since I was going to commission them anyway and what not.

[frosty mantle]

You can see the amount of votes on your jam entry page

[broken terrace]

im guession he said "Nah bro I'm doing it for fun"

[candid mason]

[zealous oxide]

[uneven bison]

Concept art of Neuro sprite

[safe zinc]

It makes sense, it really felt like we were getting into our stride and then the deadline just hit like a truck

and so many near finished things left on the cutting room floor

[crimson latch]

how is the gamejam working now that the deadline passed?

[ebon dust]

you could always continue development if you want to!

[ripe summit]

thats just what a game jam is...

[frozen heron]

That is the plan

[candid mason]

Vedal & chat won't get to see the finished cool spider -TV Enemy

[rocky fern]

you can rate the game itself (on its own unrelated to the game jam) assuming that the developer hasn't disabled it, but not the game as a contender of the game jam

...at least I think you should be able to? not sure if it's disabled during the jam rating phase

[zealous oxide]

2-5 days for other teams to review each other

[cursive berry]

vedal needs to show on stream how to rate the games and access them, I'm sure a flood of people will go to play them when he dose

[slender mantle]

I don't think I'll ever do 3 day gamejams again

1 week only from now

[uneven bison]

More unused fonts for our title

[frozen heron]

Try one day jams

[zealous oxide]

2 day gamejams are better

made a better game then with the theme of delivery

[void horizon]

Idk, haven't spoke to Temmie much, but Crimon does indeed use it

[ebon dust]

[candid mason]

[ripe summit]

[crimson latch]

[frozen heron]

[tribal perch]

Crimon do this irl -->

[safe zinc]

I mean, you don't even know how many ideas and planned content was cut either. Let alone things actually worked on that were then cut

[crimson latch]

but to be fair, crimon barely talks so 14 results for anything is a lot for them

[frozen heron]

Who is this person

[tight blaze]

thats a lot of games to play

[crimson latch]

back to gamejam
are you guys planning on trying them all or.. just cherry pick?

[past path]

best way to start off 2024

[tight blaze]

i just had to not have any time these past two days

man

wanted to make a game so bad

[tight blaze]

all of them

[frozen heron]

Apparently we will share our team account and rate 12 games each

Yeah, it's big brain time

[twin nebula]

These are some pretty good games. Crazy what you can accomplish in just 72 hours.

[ivory canyon]

3 days game making marathon right into a 3 days game playing marathon

[tight blaze]

well, ill play them tmr tho, too sleepy rn

[scenic night]

||gamejam2: "found and lost" ||

[twin nebula]

The fun part is I get to test them all for bugs.

[frozen heron]

We lost our sanity, we will find it again tomorrow

[tight blaze]

marathoning holocure for a week straight a couple days back has prepared me

||definitely didnt play 60 hours in 6 days-||

[frozen heron]

Probably

[twin nebula]

The game jam theme was the sleep you lost and the [fill in later] you found.

[frank plover]

Also soon happy New Years everyone :- )

[brazen marlin]

same lol

[rocky fern]

I'll almost definitely cherry pick

remember to add cover images and screenshots to attract attention

[frozen heron]

I wanted to add this to the game ;-;

[void horizon]

First on the list is to sleep

[brazen marlin]

Sleep gets five stars for fun, visuals, and innovation, but did pretty poorly on the audio

[long hinge]

dd... do i get to sleep

[crimson latch]

wish there was a timer somewhere for how long we have to rate them

[wooden coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCSuRu0y2Ls

[broken terrace]

how long does that rating last

[high prawn]

You should by ©Schizophrenia DLC, the sounds in it are great

[broken terrace]

i was hoping for an emotional game somewhere

[crimson latch]

pin says 72 hours, but idk when that started/ending

[hidden herald]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam

timer is here

[wraith matrix]

should have been called Neutrakill instead

[hidden herald]

"voting ends in"

[crimson latch]

[void horizon]

Wait, I just realised, new year is in 11 minutes for me

[wraith matrix]

I made one, kinda

[crimson latch]

thanks!

[crimson latch]

happy new years!!

[wraith matrix]

there's many emotions, both of the laughing and crying kind

[void horizon]

Too soon

[frozen heron]

Happy new year!

[midnight otter]

2 down, 119 to go

[wooden coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g0RVQZd4Hk

[short lion]

Happy new year! 🎊

[fiery merlin]

I wonder if the voting deadline will be extended

considering tutel has to grind through all the games

[frozen heron]

Will he, though

[wooden coral]

godot bro does it not want opengl3 on default exec?

[fiery merlin]

oh wait it says he will play "top rated" games

that's kinda lame

[void horizon]

#livestream-chat vs #2023-game-jam

[wraith matrix]

I mean, he's definitely not playing all 124 entires

[hidden herald]

does not seem like tutel has time for 120+ games

[simple surge]

Hey Alex. Whats the point of the rum bottle? Havent found any usage for it. Expected to get some hidden ending as you lose it if you die, but nothing different happened.

[fiery merlin]

content for weeks

[wraith matrix]

I wonder how long the average game is

[waxen loom]

CJ

[candid mason]

is that fucking loss

[frosty mantle]

Not my idea.

[wraith matrix]

I'm at a loss for words

[candid mason]

Wait I know that arrangement

[hidden herald]

they losst their last update push

[vast crypt]

nice game Alex

[frosty mantle]

Indeed

[safe zinc]

guys plkease rate our game we worked on it for 3 days, thats definitely more time than any other team

[frosty mantle]

[vast crypt]

how do I get out? 🤔

[glossy gazelle]

hii, just posting my team's game here: https://jellylemoni.itch.io/loss-function-302
and I would love to shout out my amazing, wonderful, and talented teammates:
@novel cairn - our artist!
@Abissu - our puzzle designer! 🧩
@shadowCombo - assistant Unity developer!
@vital mauve - our musician!
thank you all

[visual steeple]

This is the problem that haunted me for the first two days when developing a game... Reinstalling graphics drivers fixed it for me.

[wraith matrix]

I am afraid of posting my own game link in fear that I'll get roasted lmao

[past path]

i made neuro tower defense https://terrainb52.itch.io/neurotic-to-the-core

[hidden herald]

oh a tower defense, very nice

[frosty mantle]

I mean, we have s to dunk on

[vestal owl]

YO!! Thanks for playing! Also Lore Skipper !?!?

[void horizon]

Where is the tutel btw

[wraith matrix]

if you like undertale tho, my game resembles that game to a T

[hidden herald]

think he mentioned on stream going right back to sleep after submitting the game

[void horizon]

[hidden herald]

what is a sleep schedule

[simple surge]

You cant rate it if you didnt submitted your own game. So sadly, only comments

[wraith matrix]

a miserable pile of nightmares

[hidden herald]

I went to sleep at 11am, thanks tutel

[uneven bison]

BUT ENOUGH TALK

[wraith matrix]

HAVE AT YOU

[bright dome]

i guess i'm gonna throw here my game as well

[wraith matrix]

I guess I'll do that as well then

[bright dome]

https://grimodello.itch.io/lostneverfound

[vestal owl]

(oops) there's a fullscreen button though

[wooden coral]

Sorry man i accidentally just pressed the keys after the first fight

[wooden coral]

I just figurrd that out

Mb

[novel rampart]

holy shit how could you beat my game so fast

[half raft]

I remember when I first came in this community...it the great pixel war....months have passed...and I'm still pixeling any fellow pixelers?

[wooden coral]

https://donnertech.itch.io/neuros-birthday-rescue

whoever made this, the game crashed on windows and got softlocked on web

[vagrant berry]

the best part is that i found the problem with the build (godol hello, it didnt include all scripts and sprites in export), but now submisions are close

[simple surge]

Is it just me, or the restart button in Vedal's game is still not working?

[analog sierra]

Ping alex, he can help

[fallow oriole]

Glad you find out, at least you know for the next time

[vagrant berry]

how can i do that ?(cluelles) is it alright

?

[frosty mantle]

DO DIZ

[wooden coral]

https://vvik.itch.io/neuro-memory-hunt

fatal error for whoever made this

[short lion]

I'm playing this now and my mouse sensitivity just ain't right for it on web but the fact they incorporated a score-board to a jam game is insane to me, mad respect

[frosty mantle]

Classic mistake

[zinc lichen]

didnt click the checkbox unlucky

[vestal owl]

f

[wooden coral]

https://must-gree-tor.itch.io/neulost-memory

this tooo!?

[midnight otter]

there's no way i'm playing every game in 3 days

[visual steeple]

Yeah, you need to include the pck file or tell godot to embed it

[wraith matrix]

Alright I essayed a little but here's my game if anyone's interested lmao

Do you like Undertale? Do you like laughing? Would you enjoy a heartfelt scene of Vedal finally saying it back? Well, this game has got you covered!!
Made by one (1) dev, this game brings the adventure to YOU! Enjoy the chaos, the jokes, and the colorful journey through the world!
https://lordvaza.itch.io/findingneuro

[frosty mantle]

One checkbox to rule them all

[wraith matrix]

sorry I spent all time making game and none on the outside presentation lmao

[midnight otter]

i like idle games

[sick yew]

that's mine one, in the comments is the game jam i posted the working one

[brazen marlin]

I've not gotten a rating yet, would love to get one
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449357

[wild forge]

Where is the idle game?

[frosty mantle]

Dm Alex, so you can reupload

[novel rampart]

[midnight otter]

evil dungeon

art is very cute

[sick yew]

wait actually, i'll do that

[feral quarry]

that one didn't work for me
think one of the funny unnecessary assets we got broke it

[wraith matrix]

so any funny/stressful stories from any game devs here?

[austere bridge]

I mean, I pushed a bugfix commit at 4 minutes to the deadline

[visual orchid]

yeah i've been roped into doing sprites, tilesets and color scheme by my friend, but i had no experience in game dev or pixel art in general, so i've been losing my mind for 2 days straight

[frosty mantle]

Pushed the last scene (Credits) one minute before the deadline... It was already late

[ripe summit]

[wraith matrix]

Mine is that I literally made the game from start to finish, as in room by room, and by the time I had 7 hours left on the clock, I still had yet to start with programming the final boss and everything that comes after it. I had to go full push mode to finish the rest of my vision in time and finished the last scene 30min before the deadline

[visual orchid]

my friend managed to fix really bad bug in last 20 minutes before deadline

[azure horizon]

There is no way to fix the file now that its uploaded is there? The file uploaded incorrectly

[brazen marlin]

There was a possibility that I needed to go to the ER during the last few hours of the jam, fortunately I ignored the problem and it went away

[wraith matrix]

if it's unplayable, contact Alex, so you can at least make it playable

[feral quarry]

I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why something wasn't working
only to find out it's because of a small typo

[azure horizon]

ok thanks

[visual orchid]

but it was a cool experience nonetheless

[feral quarry]

also our projects complete lack of consistency in naming amuses me

[frosty mantle]

[wraith matrix]

I couldn't get going at the start. By the end of the first day, I was dead. At the end of the second day, I was steamrolling, and by the end, I was practically skydiving through all the content creation

[wraith matrix]

you don't wanna see my file naming xddd

[vestal owl]

Rated! Fun, neat game, nice art and menu especially.

[frosty mantle]

[wraith matrix]

at the very end I literally went with the default "object132" names cuz I was literally running out of time

[feral quarry]

hell yeah 🤝

[brazen marlin]

Thank you! @gaunt lichen did a great job with the art, I agree!

[frosty mantle]

I like how you can clearly see the amount of developers by just looking at the file names

[scenic night]

just played "lost memories..." and from all the games i've checked so far this one had some impressive storytelling 😮
as i'm going down the list for now playing them all

hopefully

[feral quarry]

I named all of the .cs files

[proper rampart]

out of the 8 i have played so far i have only found 1 game breaking issue, i'm impressed

[visual orchid]

it's impressive how some people managed to put out really cool and competent game in 3 days

[wraith matrix]

I hope I was one of them >_< But yeah some people are really talented

[frosty mantle]

No Credits scene, but at least I have my refactors in place

[dense reef]

find a gamebreaking bug mid voting
upload a "bugfix"
30 minutes of content magically appear

[frosty mantle]

Neat huh?

[wraith matrix]

reminds me of when I forgot to reorder rooms after playtesting in engine, and ended up sending all recepients straight to the final boss

made extra sure that didn't happen this time

[long anvil]

how many assets did you guys have in your games?

[wraith matrix]

too many

[visual orchid]

i really like neuro model for tank game

really cute

[uneven bison]

We had many assets that didn't get added, but we hope to put them in the game soon

139 different sprites, 150 different objects, 53 different sound files, 17 rooms

[frosty mantle]

We have 250 files in our assets folder, so 125 assets in total

[wraith matrix]

So, any horrible code jungles anyone would like to show off?

[short lion]

What did she mean by this

[long anvil]

holy wow

[long anvil]

LMFAO

Only in jame gam way https://github.com/Darkeew/neuro-gamejam/commit/b0fa85dc99ba6610335c4ea3772faf0de967c3a8

[scenic night]

why isnt the troll face mirrored

[ripe summit]

https://github.com/Darkeew/neuro-gamejam/blob/main/scripts/eventsystem/event_bus.gd#L64 totally readable and understandable...

[dreamy comet]

when your composer writes code

[frosty mantle]

I am still clueless on how it works

[frosty mantle]

Honesly, such a good job with the piano puzzle!

[visual orchid]

oh wow

[ripe summit]

who cares how it works... it just works

[wraith matrix]

you could say that my code might be a little bit scuffed, but it only bloody works

[visual orchid]

i'm jealous at most games artwork

[simple surge]

I found so many bugs in Vedal's game Im thinking about doin any% speedrun

[short lion]

In game jams working code > pretty code and my code ain't made to be pretty

[short lion]

Nevermind, you went too far

[frosty mantle]

@ripe summit I understand THIS though

Be better

[simple surge]

My most favourite glitch is bugging the drone, so you have it pernamently and skip most puzzles

[uneven bison]

Behind the scenes

[wraith matrix]

the best aprt about it is, you can duplicate that image by 10, and that's the amount of lines I have that look exactly the same as that

[ripe summit]

thats why we are using json's... you are just suppose to know how those work who cares how they work under the hood

[frosty mantle]

Can I just express my love to Godot's Tweens? They are fantastic and I use them everywhere!

[long anvil]

what is the LONGEST script y'all had

[bright dome]

before gamejam, timers were my enemy, after gamejam, they are my greatest friends (Godot)

[visual steeple]

Mine, funilly enough is the camera panning code, I think.

[analog sierra]

Lemme get a screenshot

[frosty mantle]

208 lines, the Global autoload script

[long anvil]

oh my god

[long hinge]

[uneven bison]

I don't think we used guns in our game

[long anvil]

HUH

[graceful vigil]

Character controller

[analog sierra]

I love scratch

[long anvil]

holy

[frosty mantle]

Tell me this is just a scene

Please

[analog sierra]

you can hear the stream

[long hinge]

it's shadergraph

[long anvil]

i still can't believe you actually did this

[frosty mantle]

Phew

[short lion]

Inspector window for one of my scripts

[bright dome]

still sad i didn't get to implement that animation

[limpid tapir]

btw if you use unreal do not use git
we had to redo some features on this script multiple time.

[frosty mantle]

I like fonts

[long anvil]

classic git actively breaking game engines

[analog sierra]

this is why I used scratch, easy export to html

[uneven bison]

Fonts are the best

[frosty mantle]

I like this bugfix

[neon night]

where is veedol? we need him to stream our games

[bright dome]

such a shame that godot doesn't have similar ui editing like unity

[wooden coral]

okay ill play the games later

i just found a softlock

im too tired to replay again

[wraith matrix]

asleep

[wooden coral]

[wraith matrix]

he will play top rated games once rating is over

[dense reef]

which one

[neon night]

what the hell D;

[frosty mantle]

UI department is pretty lacking in Godot, yeah.

[dense reef]

if its our game, credits scene wasnt added in time

[short lion]

I thought I got to a softlock here but ended up being a gg. This is a really cool game though https://randomly-pr0.itch.io/neuro-sama-and-the-filtered-memories

wait that's mine wtf

where softlock pls

[proper rampart]

Well in the area after filian

it gives you the "Well well well..." and then it wont let you go

[wraith matrix]

ah, i know why then

[wooden coral]

when i interacted with the well in anny section, the dialogue just froze

[wraith matrix]

I never tested the well first

[wooden coral]

goodnight

[bright dome]

anyway why do i have feeling that games that are only downloadable are in great disadvantage to ones that you can play in browser

[wraith matrix]

that should be the only softlock tho

someone play this pls https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449266

@proper palm can I reupload for the softlock prevention?

[broken terrace]

the door in the middle in that painting room

[wraith matrix]

and if so how do

[sand island]

i was playing one of the games and accidentally bookmarked it whilst crouch strafing

[proper palm]

[frosty mantle]

The game is technically playable, so no fix for us

[wraith matrix]

maybe I shouldn't be pinging like that

[proper palm]

No it's fine

[wraith matrix]

it's technically not game breaking, but I wouldn't want others to suffer

[dense reef]

that room has nothing btw

[wraith matrix]

I want them to enjoy and have fun, that's the main goal

[dense reef]

someone did an oopsie

[frosty mantle]

I didn't know that

[dense reef]

they ctrl v ctrl c that door

Thanks cj ill play it l8r

Istg if the game doesnt work on my pc

[visual orchid]

cool art style

[wraith matrix]

"no it's fine" as in the softlock is fine or the ping was fine?

[proper palm]

The ping was fine

[potent flint]

is there anyone who though of azerty keyboard user and made a support for them ? if yes, that person should win the jam

[proper palm]

As for your issue, I'm sorry, but it is already almost 3 hours after the submission deadline, I don't think I'll be doing any more late submissions unless the game is literally unplayable.

[wraith matrix]

alright, understandable

[short lion]

I forgor

[crimson latch]

jank is part of the competition

[wraith matrix]

I sure hope people will read the comments first and read about the softlock

[limpid tapir]

I'm an azerty user and our game can't be played properly on azerty

[potent flint]

neuro sama and the filter memory has azerty support, that's based

[wraith matrix]

it's fascinating that all the games appear in random order when you refresh the submissions page

[ivory canyon]

I feel like I should have made a browser port, there's a pretty clear divide in the amount of ratings between games that have one and games that don't

[potent flint]

"lost her mind" has azerty support, i bow cj

[tacit coral]

yeah just realized the same thing, shoulda prioritized ease of access a bit more

[wild forge]

I had to accept my fate, at least I got a game out. Somehow

[tribal perch]

Your game is too difficult

[void horizon]

Skill issue

[rustic lichen]

@gray musk i wanted to play NeuroQuest but I feel like the camera isn't moving when it should be - I picked up the chess piece but then nothing happens and the camera doesn't slide to the right or anything? am I missing something?

[uneven bison]

Too many people joined other projects and we ended up short staffed so that's why our game felt unfinished a bit so bear with us ^^

[simple surge]

The end? It doesnt trigger anything

[uneven bison]

I feel like we should set up a set number of people in a team just to make things fair if we end up doing another Game Jam

[wraith matrix]

I just realized I can make comment into heading. Surely this is bold enough for people to see

[proper rampart]

its fine, hayhay, but i found a probably not intended way to beat the game

[uneven bison]

I'm hoping our team makes it a full game

[potent flint]

is it a bug on "lost her mind"||i've played the piano and now she's not moving||

[frosty mantle]

Yes

That's the end

[potent flint]

oh i should have read the description

[sick yew]

omg the working version of my game got submitted! https://vvik.itch.io/working-neuro-memories-hunt

[potent flint]

this gamejam made me realized that there is a ton of talented people here

[scenic night]

Paccha!!'s art gave the story so much depth
the whole experience was constructed beautifully

[potent flint]

i'm gonna try vedal game then "evil neuro's dungeon" it look like a fun game

[visual orchid]

wish i was talented

[uneven bison]

Has anyone tried our game?

[frosty mantle]

I am not talented at all, my team is!

[dense reef]

yeah, its amazing

[scenic night]

i'm a sucker for story driven games

[dense reef]

you saved us

[simple surge]

You all are. Wtf you mean

[uneven bison]

I'm hoping to fix the Neuro sprite afterwards and have the game fully made

[wraith matrix]

I recommend trying my game, it appears people are enjoying it. Just don't interact with the well before talking to Anny, cuz then you'll softlock, but otherwise you should be fine ^^

[dense reef]

99% of story made by me

i might have done the painting puzzle too hard

[tribal perch]

yeah you have

[proper palm]

I think I need to advertise my game too right?

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448895

This was an insane project and every single one of our team members carried it in some way or another, i was really stressed out that we wouldn't be able to finish but we got there in the end. I recommend you check it out

[proper rampart]

i did, if you do it the intended way cool game, if you do it the unintended way, a good chuckle

[uneven hedge]

yeah it didn't trigger anything for me too

[tribal perch]

I am actually stuck on it

[dense reef]

its easy

[simple surge]

Alex! Please answer me this ❤️

[visual orchid]

might actually try to develop art skill, so i can try my hand in game dev again - it was satisfying experience to release a working game you've been working on

[proper rampart]

i didnt find it too hard, tbh, i just felt a bit dumb after my 3rd try

[broken terrace]

welp im stuck

Always fun when you have the logic implemented, and now need to make it look good; then you find out your art is the embodiment of programmer art.

Do you know you can finish the game under a minute by killing the bossess before they finish their speech?

ay i won: any% speedrun

now to actually try beat the bosses

can i get the link ?

[broken terrace]

u better keep the neuro sprite

can contributors not vote? I am not able to vote

yeah it was pretty exciting how fast the fans turned on on mine also lmao

[safe zinc]

the footage from our programmers was sent in individual frames when they were developing the game so Its understandablke it might be hard to run

[chrome remnant]

Also I have a question for anyone who didn’t upload a game themselves and participated in a team

Does it let you rate others games?

[visual orchid]

thanks lol, i tried my best to make the game look cute with my limited skillset

[frank plover]

nope

[deft kayak]

that was a cute little game, nice work ^w^

[austere bridge]

Nope. Only the uploader can

[chrome remnant]

Ok I thought it was just me

[uneven bison]

Have you seen Fragment Of An AI?

[bright dome]

okay, it appears that my game is in fact beatable so that's nice

[vestal owl]

Thanks! You can technically beat the game without harming any mods this is a feature

[rain anvil]

The description of the answers are very funny

[tiny laurel]

There is ray tracing for no reason

I'll uh, let the team now

[waxen loom]

I only used this for this project, but I really liked my movement animation lookup arrays

I just realized I set my thing to a non existent audio device. Rip

[frosty mantle]

Glad to see so many Godot devs

[wild forge]

Gotta play again I guess

[tribal perch]

Why don't you marry Godot already

[frosty mantle]

I wish

[long anvil]

any speedruns for the submissions?

[scenic cloud]

[feral quarry]

do you have unity experience? if so what do you prefer in godot over unity?

open question to anyone really

[bright dome]

i like that godot is way more lightweight

doesn't load for 5min like unity

[waxen loom]

godot is nice and slim

[frosty mantle]

I have a little experience with Unity, and that experience wasn't very welcoming.

I used Godot before, but not for the game purposes, and it was a breeze. The ability to quickly iterate is very refreshing.

[rigid stag]

most software tools is lightweight vs alot of functionalty, i can see why people say unity is bloated but once u get used to the tooling u can do stuff quickly

[void horizon]

We had 2.5 people working on the dev side of the game, and all of us were booting Unreal for the first time

[bright dome]

well that explains it

[scenic cloud]

Licensing, complexity, interface, paradigm, everything in godot makes me prefer using godot

[vestal owl]

Is there low detail mode somewhere

[potent flint]

no azerty support/20
joke aside, i did love the humor put into this game, did laugh a few time, ||the boss fight kinda felt unfair with some projectile but still fun|| thanks you for your game it was fun

[wraith matrix]

I keep being told that ||the boss is hard|| but I never found it too hard during testing... curious this one is

glad you liked it tho! ^^

[austere bridge]

We had tutel femboy noises too, which were quite funny. But in the final build they detatched themselves

[scenic cloud]

My biggest problem with using godot, were only the availability of documentation and online tutorials for base engine mechanics, but even with that, i didn't had problems

[wraith matrix]

I personally viewed that one as a distance keeper, so you can't face hug the whole thing, but maybe it really was imbalanced? idk

[scenic cloud]

the godot docs are just nice and clean enough

[short lion]

My game:

• Has an absolute banger soundtrack (shoutout to my composer tieff)
• If you win it Vedal will finally say it back
• One guy enjoyed it a ton
  Also can be played in browser

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2447983

[potent flint]

i would not say it's hard, i would more say ||that some attack are very unfair, like the giant flame can technically hit you 2 time because your invisible frame don't stay long enough, and the knife attack hitbox seem too big too ? i felt like i got hit while not being near it ||

[potent flint]

oh i though it was easier to do it while being close to her

[frosty mantle]

If you win it Vedal will finally say it back

[wraith matrix]

yeah I just played through it and it was fine, just keep running in circles

easiest way to dodge projectiles that fly your way is to move to the side, not away from them xd

[uneven bison]

I'm gonna be updating Neuro sprites for a future revision of the game

[wraith matrix]

and you have 3 health to tank things you don't like so I think it should still be balanced

[cursive berry]

@rustic lichen I cant get over how good the artwork is in your game. It looks amazing and plays incredibly well.

[wild forge]

Playing VedEvNeur987 and just realized you can shove the folders

[austere bridge]

Trying to get 3 infinitely scrolling texture sets to seamlessly transition between eachother in any order at any time was an interesting coding challenge for someone who's never touched a game engine before

[feral quarry]

hmm alright
so far i do prefer godot over unity and unreal (have tried both)
it's mostly the smallness of it with feature richness, although it feels like early access
ran into a lot of bugs and a bunch of features felt unpolished and clunky (especially importing/reimporting, that broke all the time for us)

[brazen marlin]

If you like cute monsters and a bit of sleuthing, I'd love if you would check out our game

[tiny laurel]

i broke cj game

[waxen loom]

I experienced one thing of godot jank where I reused a tilemap for multiple things and then suddenly it was failing to load. Restarting the editor fixed it

[feral quarry]

yeah had a bunch of issues where i had to restart the editor
which is fine cus it takes a few seconds but still

[uneven bison]

Managed to update walk sprites for left and possibly right directions

[waxen loom]

Also, much love to KotgeDev for their Neuro Sama Pixel Art pack. The sprites were really cute

[frosty mantle]

i know

[wraith matrix]

apparently I can actually initiate emotions within people

[ember horizon]

aaand back 😄 time to try some submissions

[wraith matrix]

oh hey muffin man

[ember horizon]

hiya

[wraith matrix]

do you wanna cry? cuz apparently I can make that happen

[tiny laurel]

dont worry, I was still able to continue the game with it, its like getting an extra friend with me

[bright dome]

some easter eggs

[wraith matrix]

according to this guy at least

[ember horizon]

just realized i was supposed to chekc a box to mark download as for windows lol

oops

sure link me your game

[wraith matrix]

Just don't interact with the well before talking to anny, otherwise you'll softlock

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449468

enjoy~~

[ember horizon]

oh theres a seperate page for the submission from normal huh

guess this would be my link then
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449189

[short lion]

Rated 12 submissions so far

[chrome remnant]

Yeah the pages are separate

[visual orchid]

oh this is your game? it has such a cute art

[chrome remnant]

https://khaishea.itch.io/neuroquest this is the page for mine and my partner’s game

[ember horizon]

ty 😄

[potent flint]

should i consider this game as a puzzle game ? like i need to do some action in the correct order if i want to finish it ?

[short lion]

No, you can just press the button in the top right to end the day in a castle

I mean you need to manage your hours semi-okay to not lose health when the day ends but otherwise your'e good

[grizzled hazel]

what a trooper

[rain anvil]

I just played this game!

[ember horizon]

my computer is deleting your game >:c how do i tell it its fine

[chrome remnant]

I’m hoping that my partner wants to keep updating it

I liked the original idea he was going to implement

[short lion]

Chat! These are submissions that haven't been rated yet. Let's rate as many of these as possible
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/unrated

I'll sleep and rate more tomorrow it was an honor to jam with you all

[potent flint]

is that normal that i sometime jump higher than other time ?

[tiny laurel]

i wish i can rate

[chrome remnant]

Yes each stage you unlock more jump

Also makes it more challenging

[ivory canyon]

I'm on it right now

[visual orchid]

hopefully my friend will decide to expand our concept to full game. that would be scary to work on bigger scale but also exciting

[potent flint]

no i mean like sometime i jump less higher than other in the same level

only encountered that problem on the anny level tho

[uneven bison]

Who hasn't played our game yet?

[chrome remnant]

I think that’s normal we had an issue with that level when testing where if you bumped into the wall where the starter point was and held D it wouldn’t register movement when possible

[wraith matrix]

Ask it very nicely

[uneven bison]

That's why HTML5 games work better

[chrome remnant]

Also the platforms are alittle wacky there so it’s possible that was put in place to make it more possible to beat

[wraith matrix]

or just turn off whatever is trying to steal your gaming experience away from you

[rain anvil]

I've played 20 games. 103 to go

[royal merlin]

@wraith matrix Dude

[wild forge]

I've been working on them

[wraith matrix]

What's up

[royal merlin]

You made me cry too

stop it

[wraith matrix]

[uneven bison]

Guys y'know what's funny?

People joining the Neuro-sama Game Jam that only does the theme and doesn't know who Neuro is.

[wraith matrix]

I hope you enjoyed the experience~~ ^^

[chrome remnant]

Yeah I saw a few games like that

[brazen marlin]

I think the jam reaching beyond the community can only be a good thing

[wraith matrix]

and then there's me that has extreme insight and even makes jokes about it

like throwing fish as Nessus

[tacit coral]

Was actually wondering that, should the games be themed around both the Vedalverse and the "Lost and Found" theme?

[royal merlin]

I really did, story writing was phenomenal

[uneven bison]

Here's a few games I've noticed that don't mention Neurosama:

[hardy fiber]

holy 123 games. Swarm is the most amazing community

[uneven bison]

Even though some of these games aren't even Neuro related

[wild forge]

just got rickrolled

Nice

[brazen marlin]

I mean my game doesn't mention Neuro either, and I've been watching her since January

So that doesn't necessarily mean anything

[tiny laurel]

the tutel lost and found dignity?

[ember horizon]

will tutel play submissions on stream btw?

[hybrid onyx]

Where I can play the games?

[cursive berry]

If I recall he said he will wait for votes then play the top voted on stream.

[potent flint]

not all as i understood

[wraith matrix]

the top rated ones once rating is over yes

[chrome remnant]

Hope everyone has fun playing our game as much as me and my partner had fun making it

[ember horizon]

ah i see

[wraith matrix]

not sure if top 10 or more tho

I'm guessing it's not set in stone, he'll just start from some point where "the best start" and then go up from there

[rustic lichen]

i still remember when the jam page said "top 20-30" will be played

[wraith matrix]

I can't wait for tutel to play mine

the chat's reaction is going to be a thing to behold

[rustic lichen]

i asked this earlier in this chat, is the cam supposed to be moving in your game? cause it doesn't move for me, I pick up the chess piece and can't really move to the right cause then i'm offscreen and have no idea how to proceed

[wraith matrix]

I wonder if he'll play the submission forms or the fix forms, I wouldn't want vedal to run into the softlock someone discovered

and I can't send fix cuz it's rating period

worst comes to worst, I'll ping alex to DM vedal to watch out for the softlock

[chrome remnant]

No the camera isn’t supposed to be moving

It’s supposed to be every platform the chess piece and evil neuro on the screen at the same time can you show me what yours is doing?

[rustic lichen]

ok yes neuro, chess piece and the platforms are visible on screen at the same time. when I get to the chess piece and pick it up, is something supposed to happen? or am I supposed to go somewhere within this level?

[chrome remnant]

At the start of the level evil neuro asks neuro to find her chess piece for her

[ember horizon]

good question, i might tune down the wait time a bit more in my game if possiible just cuz it doesnt really add anything to the game

[chrome remnant]

You take it to evil after you find it to proceed

[soft totem]

wait

WAS I THE ONLY ONE WITH A VOLUME SLIDER??

[ember horizon]

heh, i had no volume to slide cuz i didnt have time for sounds

[rustic lichen]

oh is evil at the start of the level? I can't see the start part of the level, it is cut off on my smallish laptop screen :''''D

[short lion]

I added one too (sepearte separate ones for sfx & music ) but it's hidden behind pressing escape key

[soft totem]

ah

one thing im sure of

My next gamejam will be in godot

[short lion]

I just couldn't find a good spot for an options button on the UI and with the brain rot of jam end it sorta evaporated into the back of my mind

[chrome remnant]

Yes there’s dialogue at the beginning of each level from the npc characters

Each are missing one item that you must return to them to them to progress

And yes they are supposed to float and follow you

[rustic lichen]

yeah right? i had volume/music sliders too, but it's usually rare to see those on such short-time game jam projects, it's just not the priority (though it is for me cause I'm too sensitive to loud noises

[chrome remnant]

The drone is the collision detector

[wraith matrix]

I just equalized all sounds and music using Audacity before importing, no need for individual volume sliders

[soft totem]

how were the fireworks tonight?

[wraith matrix]

and then playtested to make sure no music/sound overshadows another

[chrome remnant]

The Read me log file has more on what the original idea of the game was supposed to be about

[rustic lichen]

:D as long as I stay inside it's fine

[soft totem]

ah

i think my eyes got blinded more than my ears were destroyed

wait why vedal in jail?

[south swallow]

send me your game to rate

[waxen loom]

debt

[chrome remnant]

https://khaishea.itch.io/neuroquest

[ember horizon]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449189

[rustic lichen]

true that's probably more important than having the slider. it's just that on the device the overall volume can be set higher because i'm watching a quiet stream or talking on discord or something, and then the loud game hits the ears real hard

[soft totem]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2444979

[rustic lichen]

moral support

[soft totem]

ah

[rustic lichen]

or debt yes

[wraith matrix]

If you wanna laugh, cry, and have fun, try this:
PS: Do NOT interact with the WELL before talking to Anny, otherwise you'll softlock
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449468

[visual orchid]

ngghhh neuroquest art style is cute

[chrome remnant]

Thank you

[soft totem]

why didnt you fix it?

[chrome remnant]

I didn’t make the art but I’ll let my partner know to tell them

[wraith matrix]

I only learned about it later from someone, and thus Alex didn't allow me to fix

[soft totem]

AH

ok

[wraith matrix]

it's not game breaking, it's juat a tad bit sad

I had "0, 2, 3" in dialogue when it should have been "0, 1, 2", so the missing "1" caused the dialogue to not advance and softlock as a result

[neon night]

have you tried the ONLY visual novel of the bunch?

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448293

[rustic lichen]

it's not about neuro-sama T_T so i'm putting it off

[soft totem]

best dark mode itch

[neon night]

D: the theme was lost and found

[visual orchid]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448922 really liked this one

[short lion]

Yeah Itch dark mode is unreadable

[soft totem]

time to enable dark reader!

[feral robin]

same tbh

[rustic lichen]

yeah but i kinda expected neuro to be in them, at least that's the motivation for me to make the project + check out other projects

[short lion]

I thought it was cool and I liked the visuals, figured I'd get more into it tomorrow

[chrome remnant]

Neuro sama related games worked better for the theme

But good job anyway

[visual orchid]

love "scratchy" art style

[lilac bronze]

wowowow there is a game jam

anyone need an unskilled laborer to do unskilled labor

[neon night]

i get that, i hope you get to it tho, i am super proud of how it turned out!

[neon night]

i am very glad, i hope tomorrow you have fun with it, so far ive been getting positive feedback

[neon night]

oh you played it already?

[soft totem]

also @rustic lichen maybe its just me being a "HARDCORE GAMER" but the tutorial was pretty easy everytime i tried it

[chrome remnant]

No I’m eating rn then I was gonna check out some games

[neon night]

❤️

[soft totem]

also i was going off the difficulty neourosama suggested

very hard

[rustic lichen]

yeah it's pretty embarrassing for me, i'm pretty sure it's something with how the game works on different devices, i'll be sure to try it again when I get to my pc instead of the laptop. the way the point of view moved was really unplayably slow for me

[soft totem]

WTF DID I COME ACROSS

[soft totem]

huh

i always have my mouse on lowest sensitivity possible

or did you play the borked version aka WebGL

[wild forge]

Get rickrolled

[soft totem]

?

[neon night]

start

[rustic lichen]

i tried both and the webgl actually was better with the point of view moving a tiny bit quicker

[chrome remnant]

ITS AN UNTILED GOOSE GAME REMAKE WITH NEURO IN IT

[soft totem]

yeah

[wild forge]

Wrong game sorry

[rustic lichen]

i would play the webgl if only the crouch wasn't ctrl T_T

[soft totem]

haha

yeaaaa

shouldda made it shift

[soft totem]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449503 play it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/784164459287019520.webp?size=48&name=Gun_R&quality=lossless

i have added a fitting comment to the game

[chrome remnant]

Ya know if there’s one thing I feel like we overdid in this lost and found game jam

It was lost memory games

[soft totem]

yeah

[stray terrace]

does anyone played vedal's game yet? is something happen, when you find the turtle or did he forgot to set an event trigger?

[soft totem]

didnt

[midnight otter]

idk if i'm tripping but i think some of them need the rpgmaker runtime package

[chrome remnant]

That’s what neuroquest is supposed to be as well that isn’t really evident until the end screen

[soft totem]

oh

vedals game has no menu

[rustic lichen]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448537
found another game with volume slider :P

[stray terrace]

?

[ember horizon]

trying vedals game, and i think im stuck cuz it wont let me press e to spawn evil anymore

[soft totem]

hah

i just skipped a segment by waterjumping

[visual orchid]

i would spend 2 hours picking colors for volume slider if we added it

[rustic lichen]

i think i saw someone else posting a screenshot of them standing on the tutel with no event happening so yeah it's probably a bug. i didn't play his game

[ember horizon]

also im suddenly realizing that im gonna suffer on rating by definition in teh audio category since i dont have any audio xD

[chrome remnant]

Well atleast everyone mostly made budget games 😂

[ember horizon]

oops

[stray terrace]

oh okay, thanks for your answer 🙂

[soft totem]

you do know this was like my fourth game

you can expect it to be dogshit

[chrome remnant]

I wasn’t directing that toward you

[soft totem]

but the games arent budget

they are gamejam submissions

[chrome remnant]

Heck neuroquest was supposed to be better than it was

We just ran outta time to add the interesting storyline

[chrome remnant]

Correction:

Very entertaining story

It is entertaining don’t get me wrong

[safe zinc]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2446452

[chrome remnant]

Would’ve been better though if we coulda got the original story built

But I understand things happen and people get busy

[visual orchid]

goes hard

[floral prism]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2445736

[soft totem]

wow first game in UE

why no settings 😢

where did you get the vedal voice?

WHY IS MY MOUSE FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT
