2023-game-jam

[chrome remnant]

That looks awesome

I wish I could rate whoever’s game that is I’d give it a 5 out 5

[soft totem]

play it

[slate marlin]

-100 social credit

[limpid tapir]

oups mb (did not had time)

[soft totem]

ok

[midnight otter]

has (some) voice acting

[soft totem]

also why everything need screenspace reflections 😢

[wild forge]

ved

[soft totem]

haha

[limpid tapir]

I did not worked on the level so idk

[visual orchid]

always scared when i hear voice acting in small games

[wild forge]

Just grinding for the first boss rq

[soft totem]

softlock

[limpid tapir]

we did notice that you can "softlock" yourself
but you can just push the block with your body rn to go to next level

[soft totem]

impossible

it moves like 0.25 of an inch when i push

[limpid tapir]

yeah it took time...

[wild forge]

So your saying to slam yourself against the wall?

[soft totem]

also theres basically zero feedback if the gun shot or just played the move up animation :p

[limpid tapir]

wdym by that sorry

[soft totem]

like no shot no decal no tracer

[limpid tapir]

oh we tried to add an effect for the laser gun
but it break somehow

[soft totem]

ah

[glacial rivet]

Here is a one liner if you want to get the total number of lines for your project/game.
[Assumes Linux and that you are using git. I think you can also do it with the 'Git Bash Terminal' under Windows]
git ls-files | grep .js | xargs wc -l (This counts the total amount of lines in all *.js files, including comments)
You can change the "grep" command according to what files you want to count.

You can also use grep -v <EXCLUDE> to exclude paths/files.
ex. You want to count all JS lines, but want to avoid all files in the "Tests" directory git ls-files | grep .js | grep -v Tests | xargs wc -l

Have fun getting statistics.

[cobalt inlet]

noice, will do later

[ivory canyon]

I wrote 2300 lines of code for the game, pretty sure you could make the same game with like 500-600 lines if you remove the scuff code

[grizzled hazel]

felt that

[wild forge]

Wrote 1200 lines here, with at least 1000 in a single file. I don't know how much is without scuff

[soft totem]

atleast it is not as bad as yanderedev

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXotP-9LcDY&t=262s

[uneven bison]

If we had more time this is what our game could have looked like btw

[soft totem]

awawww

dark sama

[uneven bison]

We hope to actually add these to the game after submissions are rated

[tame lynx]

Do it!

[uneven bison]

We will, we have so much stuff to add lmao

[soft totem]

ima hit sack now

[quartz hatch]

the poor ToString() method

[wild forge]

I honestly wasn't going to continue mine, but looking at everyone elses. I think I want to get mine to where I'm happy with it.

Oh yeah, and also try and get a webassembly version working.

[ivory canyon]

I do really hope Vedal hosts another one in the future, it was an amazing learning experience and I'd love to join a team next time

[stable onyx]

I haven't worked this hard on anything in a long time

[tame lynx]

Yep there’s a much higher level of polish than i expected from the submissions and a lot of them are ridiculously fun. Imagine if we did another game jam with more experience and time available!

[sullen wind]

So many good games, can't decide which ones to play. Some are real fun

[wild forge]

Just working on reducing the non voted list, think there are 5 left?

[tame lynx]

Please play mine! It’s not fun but the evil plushy is cute

[wild forge]

What's the name?

[tame lynx]

Evil’s search for cookies

[sullen wind]

How many 3D games are there by the way?

[ivory canyon]

Also big respect to Alex for managing this game jam

[ivory canyon]

I think from the 10 I played only 2 were 3D? Maybe someone who's played more can enlighten us

[tame lynx]

Somehow the pixels art style does just fit with neuro imo

[wild forge]

9 and 0 3D here

[uneven bison]

Some more what if we had more time things

[glossy gazelle]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449511 and to sweeten the deal, we do have a volume slider

[glossy gazelle]

these look SO cool...

[midnight otter]

/10 ending screen

[safe zinc]

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

[south swallow]

did you try setting the projects embed options to "Click to launch in fullscreen"?

[tame lynx]

can I post a recording here?

[old swan]

To be fair, a long enough if/else if chain like this would automatically be turned into a switch statement by the compiler

It's not ideal (especially because of the repeated syntax) but it's not the worst thing you can do

[chrome remnant]

Neuroquest might be getting updates sometime soon they may not be consistent though

My partner that made the coding says they’d like to continue working on it since it’s their first time in coding with python

[neon night]

there is only a single visual novel in the list 🤔

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

[midnight otter]

these just keep getting better

[tidal thunder]

Oh this game was really nice

[stable onyx]

all ms paint art is appreciated

[tidal thunder]

Visual novels are Art + Story heavy so thats rough on short game jams

[neon night]

i think i did a great job

what do yhou thing?

[wild forge]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448884
I think this is the only time I'm going to advertise this.

[neon night]

i put a lot of hours on my visual novel, i hope everyone enjoys it

[wild forge]

I'll be sure to check it out

[neon night]

ill check yours out as well

[wise axle]

did harrison temple get submitted in time for game jam?

[chrome remnant]

Vedal’s game?

[wise axle]

yes

[chrome remnant]

Yeah it’s there

[wise axle]

ah its on itch.io not on the world game jam 😛

[chrome remnant]

Oh yeah he said he wasn’t gonna add it into the game jam

it would be obvious who would win then

[wise axle]

well dang

will live with it. tons of neuro games from the looks of it

[sullen wind]

Guess I'll post my game again since the deadline is now over. Would love to hear your opinions. Sorry for the artificial difficulty, I suck at level design
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448877

[tame lynx]

only like 120 to get through

[wise axle]

some of these games are giving me that nostalgia feeling. graphics are from atari and NES to windows 95

[sullen wind]

I like a bunch with pixelated graphics so far. Very well designed.

[stable onyx]

to trust or not to trust windows defender

[wise axle]

windows defender is a pain. i do some low end C# stuff and hear about it from time to time about defender nuking stuff

[glossy gazelle]

yeah, but it still loaded in the small player on click and had to be expanded to show the full screen, so I wasn't sure what the benefit was

[blazing bramble]

i spend like 20 minutes but cuz im dumb i can figure out how to solve this room any tips from ppl who solve it?

[mossy nest]

Just use drone

[grizzled hazel]

have you tried thinking outside of the box

[blazing bramble]

[dense pilot]

IDK. Couldnt get thru first level because Evil wouldnt move. 😦

[wise axle]

you didnt sub hard enough or its broke

[grizzled hazel]

In all seriousness, you want to use the mirror and get evil past that water. gonna need a combination of mirror and running into walls

[blazing bramble]

ye i realised it

but i have no idea where to spawn evil

[mossy nest]

Idk i was just using a drone, if I'm not confused

I don't even understand why a mirror is needed

[grizzled hazel]

spawn evil on left side of the level and spring her to it, the rest is up to you

[blazing bramble]

i want to dissapear from the face of the,i did it but accidently walked into lava

[grizzled hazel]

rip, keep working at it, you got this

[wise axle]

lava is part of the lore. it must be done

keep going its pretty fun so far

[mossy nest]

Yeah, I don't know if it's designed that way, but this level can be done without a mirror

🤔

[young mesa]

It was not designed that way 💀 I should've put a boulder under the rightmost one I should've just rethought the puzzle I just saw how you can do it another way lmao

[blazing bramble]

thinking outside the box be like:

[halcyon frost]

hey guys
I upload the not-working file to the game jam
like I don't really aim to win anything at all from the start (I just wanna learn godot)
the point is, will I be possible to update the game in the future?

[wise axle]

speed running the glitchless category

[mossy nest]

Yeah. Interesting levels though, well done. Some really make you think until you understand how this or that mechanics works

[hidden herald]

think it has been said that updates are no longer possible unless the current version is completely unplayable, then they will make an exception

[halcyon frost]

the thing is; my game is bad but I also want it to be at least playable lol

[hidden herald]

if it is absolutely unplayable, then why not try to reach out to the mods and ask?

pinned message in this channel states to ping or dm alex if you got problems with your submission

[halcyon frost]

thanks

[mossy nest]

I can send you a video of how I did it if you want, but I think you've probably figured it out by now

[halcyon frost]

idk how to say this but my brain kinda is not able to comprehend most of the situation lol but thanks again anyway

[analog sierra]

oop accidental reply

anyway

https://daymoniakk.itch.io/where-is-tutel this game

[earnest mortar]

Time to play some games today

[austere bridge]

Honestly, never taken part in a gamejam before, but this was super super cool. Also seeing lots of people here starting their journey into coding/game development, as well as seeing people enjoy eachother's games is heartwarming. Swarm is crazy

[young mesa]

Feel free to send it to me, cause I can see 2 ways to solve it without evil, so you might show me a 3rd

[smoky rune]

I honestly spent way to long on this

[blazing bramble]

i have no idea what to do

im just looking

[uneven bison]

Holy crap someone who's been here way longer than me!

[blazing bramble]

and cant tell even what game requires to get to the next room

[smoky rune]

I think I might have done that one the really unintended way

[void horizon]

Do you think that we deleted the settings menu, made walls gray and made a bossroom without a boss because we didn't notice anything wrong? I'ts a game jam, and we ran out of time, cuz we bit more than we could chew. (as most of the poeple here, considering how much of us participated in a game jam for the first time)

Get pinged for a bad review

(I just forgot to turn it off )

[reef coral]

Gonna try out yall's games

[ember horizon]

the review doesnt seem to accuse you of doing it because you didn't notice or anything. like ive gotten plenty of comments that my game has no sound, and like, yea, i didnt have the time to add enough sound to make it better than no sound. but its still understandable to say that thats an issue

[void horizon]

I just woke up so I am angy

[north schooner]

So because of the "feature" which gives you permeant drone I was able to skip like half the puzzles.

[void horizon]

Also, we found out why is it so easy to softlock in our game. It actually isn't. I did design level with that in mind, but when we imported 3d models for pickups they clipped into a floor

[ember horizon]

i wonder if we had silly priorities lol, we didnt have time for sound but we did have time for secret art of femboy tutel

[brazen marlin]

Sounds about right

[zealous oxide]

do you guys use a state machine to determine which action neuro in the center of your screen is doing or was it random?

@void horizon

[void horizon]

Seems perfectly reasonable for me

[ember horizon]

the art for anyone who doesnt wanna bother with the game xD

[smoky rune]

So I'm not sure if this was intended

[gray musk]

Trello was a life saver for me, working out priorities and stuff

[zealous oxide]

Trello was usefull when there was large flux at the start of the jam

[void horizon]

idk, I was asleep when my teammates made the pain face logic. (look around is random)

[zealous oxide]

nearing the end people knew what they had to do

[zealous oxide]

i see

[mossy nest]

huh

[sullen wind]

Same, I'm loving this. Almost makes me cry

[gray musk]

Helps with motivation too. If there's something I was stuck on, I would just refocus on another task and come back to it

[ember horizon]

how much longer do we have to play and rate peoples games

[gray musk]

2 days

[mossy nest]

How did it end up there?

[smoky rune]

I pushed it

[void horizon]

I reread your message, and reslised that I can answer it. She looks around at random, but when she takes damage, considering how much hp left she does different expressions

[ember horizon]

why are they showing me my own game

[sullen wind]

It's random by default. Lucky, I guess.

[mossy nest]

Yeah, I just don't understand how it got on that spring and stayed there

[hidden herald]

12/123 ratings done or so

[smoky rune]

The water stopped it

[hidden herald]

i like that it marks which games are rated

[smoky rune]

Cause pedistal can't go in water

[mossy nest]

Oh, right, i understand

You used a drone to push it in there and it got stuck
Yeah, I don't think it was meant to happen like that

[blazing bramble]

finally

now we only need vedal to make ending cutscene or smth

[zealous oxide]

nah he wont touch the game again

[blazing bramble]

no ending

[mossy nest]

Wait. Now I think I went wrong, too. Because I had a drone getting there too, even though I had closed the lava so I could step on it

[zealous oxide]

best game ending ive seen was the animation from the neuro shock team

[safe zinc]

wdym its completely accurate. he gives you the promise of a cookie and then doesnt actually give it to you

[mossy nest]

I feel like there should be rocks on the sides, not lava

Or the opposite, a little more lava

[tropic path]

Is there a specific time that Vedal is going to go over the most liked submissions? Just don't want to miss it.

[zealous oxide]

not announced

still rating period

[void horizon]

Troobs really did a great job with the cutscenes

[mighty cliff]

we we're so close to greatness

[zealous oxide]

worst ending ive seen was the neuro 3d cookie game like no way those fucks scammed me and said the real 3d cookie was the friends we made along the way

[long anvil]

i was expecting a full on 3d cookie model

[reef coral]

the hell?

[mighty cliff]

how does the sort popular calculate things? cuz no way my shity attempt at a game is 70th

[zealous oxide]

based on downloads

i believe

[mighty cliff]

can we see the amount of downloads of other games?

[zealous oxide]

idk

[mighty cliff]

guess not then

[ember horizon]

i feel like when u refresh some of the things like popular it seems to move them aroudn a bit

so its probably not all the way precise, to prevent you from gleaning too much data off it

[zealous oxide]

honestly sorting random is the way to go

[mighty cliff]

it gives everything a chance ye

[blazing bramble]

so i tried speedrunning Harrison Temple and first run lasted 8m 32s

i think its possible to beat in 4 minutes

[ember horizon]

does anyone know if we eventually get data on how our games are rated?

would be useful info for future reference

[mighty cliff]

i thing the actual ratings are shown after the voting period

[ember horizon]

i expect my rating to be fairly bad overall since no audio means im pretty sure everyone gives me 1/5 there

[mighty cliff]

i dont have audio either

my game doesnt even run well

i mean, its probably the only one coded in python

[smoky rune]

Anyone else having problems with this?

[mighty cliff]

what game is that?

[smoky rune]

Alex's one

[mighty cliff]

the one camilla worked on?

[smoky rune]

Ye

[zealous oxide]

we yoinked our artist from alex's team

[mossy nest]

There's a little bit, but it's possible to pass. It took me five tries to get through

[smoky rune]

So I'm pretty sure you're suppose to speed to the end and transform to tutel mode, but the spike are moving a bit to fast

[mighty cliff]

my game doesnt have textures xd

[mossy nest]

Yes

[smoky rune]

Otherwise there is nothing else I seem to be able to do

But the last spike is just that little bit too fast

Nvm

Just did it

[zealous oxide]

one of our artists did character sprites and the all the VN variations of neuro , evil vedal and almost annie and the other did terrain textures

neuro's got like 20 different variations

wild

[mighty cliff]

my characters are a bunch of draw line commands

[zealous oxide]

ah yes

we had a python game we made like that for our class last semester

now i should be done with all my but one of my classes though so imma need to find work

[mighty cliff]

its not a problem, its a design feature

[zealous oxide]

ive seen two great technical feats this jam

the scratch game and the game made in a language ive never heard of

probably the last developper

[mighty cliff]

only real isue with my game is things that are further away being drawn on top of things close by

python and pygame were never made for 3D

[zealous oxide]

making anything 3D for a jam is a bad idea

[vestal owl]

Sleeping on the google slides engine smh

[hidden herald]

i beat this but it was a very tight frame window. when the spikes are up, i already started walking against them. and just before end of passage, have to quickly turn to tutel

[stable onyx]

making a powerpoint for a game jam is a power play

[mighty cliff]

i just used the 3D engine i was working on while watching the beginning of subathon

[zealous oxide]

the move is either 2D or 2.5D games (a mix of some 3d elements and 2D sprites)

[cursive dawn]

You have unlocked new role

[hidden herald]

oh nvm

[mighty cliff]

true

[reef coral]

w

[mighty cliff]

but the goal for me was never the game, but the 3D

cuz i know how to make 2D games in python

been there and done that already

[waxen loom]

You have unlocked new role

[zealous oxide]

should have learned an actual engine at that point

[safe zinc]

yeah I think you can only get away with it if you havve a team like ours who were very proficient with 3d in all respects

like ostium, ppp and retronous are just insanely skilled

[mighty cliff]

ye but we need to learn python for school so while everyone in class was doing if statements and such, i was doing perspective projection

[zealous oxide]

you guys had a large team you can afford to be more ambitious although i do think you could have tried the 2.5D approach

[safe zinc]

2.5d doomlike was actually our original goal

but we started realizing we just had flat out a lot more 3d manpower.

[mighty cliff]

half my code is the UI tho cuz of button remapping, custom window sizes, and custom framreate limit (eventhough it runs at 80fps when uncapped)

[vestal owl]

I can't play Vedal's game :( I consistently get the game breaking bug where evil just stares into my soul instead of moving

[safe zinc]

sounds like a feature

[mighty cliff]

on one side i dont want people to play my game but on the other side i want the validation

[wild forge]

I'm pretty much the same here

[blazing bramble]

Standard moment

[mighty cliff]

i slept 6 hours after "finishing" the game and woke up 2 min before the timer hit 0. i was supposed to be at a family gathering then but i overslept xd

when finishing the game i thought i would work another hour on t but ended up being 5 hours

[wild forge]

I set an entire day aside for making sure my thing runs on windows / making the exe to send to the jam.

[zealous oxide]

it running on windows was not a problem for us

[hard shard]

I'm awake how it going

[zealous oxide]

straight up the WebGL build does not work

[hard shard]

i didn't test that one

i just built for windows

[mighty cliff]

i had to deal with turning python into an exe...... thank god something for that exists but i had to mess around in command prompt for 2 hours

[wild forge]

Yeah, at the same time I had no game engine to build for. Hell I didn't even have pygame to use.

Half of my dev work was the engine

[hard shard]

respect to you for actualy making an engine

[mighty cliff]

im sorry but what game did you make?

[wild forge]

Mod for Evil

[mighty cliff]

il check it out

[wild forge]

Thanks!

[mighty cliff]

suspicious download blocked lmao

[earnest mortar]

bet

[hard shard]

happens with all the downloads I think

cuz of the exe file

[mighty cliff]

makes sense

god dammit even 7zip doesnt want to open it

[hard shard]

run as admin?

[mighty cliff]

oh its gone

gotta disable windows attachment manager i guess

[wild forge]

That happened on my own machine, the same machine the exe was built on

That is why I placed two of them

I forget what windows catagorizes it is

[wild forge]

I ran it as my user

[mighty cliff]

ended up disabeling windows defender

it works now

[wild forge]

Haha

I just added it to whitelisted

[hard shard]

pretty sure there should be an option to run anyways as administrator

[mighty cliff]

win 11 :/

[wild forge]

I wish the linux version didn't have that one bug. Otherwise I would have packaged both.

[mighty cliff]

when starting an exe you can choose to open as admin, still gives an error tho

[hard shard]

huh

weird

[mighty cliff]

so il keep win defender disabled

[wild forge]

Imma quickly remove my whitelist and do some testing

[reef coral]

any tips on like gamemaker?

[hard shard]

read documentation

👍

[reef coral]

thanks

[hard shard]

basically just experiment

and do whatever you want first

when you get stuck

google it

[zealous oxide]

from what i can tell portraited you went straight to development without first doing what we like to call "tutorial hell"

[hard shard]

then you can understand the engine better

[wild forge]

It say it is a Trojan

[hard shard]

yea

[zealous oxide]

maybe start there

[hard shard]

i mean

you learn best

under fire

right

[zealous oxide]

yes

[wild forge]

Agreed 100%

[hard shard]

tutorials are overrated

just go straight for the boss fight

[wild forge]

Same goes for programming in general I'd say

[zealous oxide]

but the thing is if you dont know the necessary tech stack to get the job done you wont accomplish anything productive

its like doing databases in excel

[mighty cliff]

i should say i just turne dof real time protection, not entire win def

[zealous oxide]

tutorials often show you the right tools for certain jobs

although i cant say i learned from experience i only used tutorials to learn programming patterns

i learned most of what i know from school

[reef coral]

I'm just like that, skipping the tutorial

[zealous oxide]

but in this case skipping the tutorial does not mean you progress faster

the best thing for you now would be to think of something youd like to build and research what might be necessary to do it

[reef coral]

Yeah, starting small is best i think

small projects can help

[wild forge]

Windows, what the frick do you mean no viruses found? What about the thing you thought was a Trojan?

[mighty cliff]

damn this game is hard

[zealous oxide]

if you still need to familliarise yourself with languages before continuing id recommend actually solving kata on codewars until you can do 4 or 5kyu exercises

anything beyond that might be too extreme for what you're trying to do

like trees

[hard shard]

o yea codewars is pretty nice

[mighty cliff]

the game breaks in full screen

[wild forge]

I'm aware of it, it only fetches size once

[mighty cliff]

no prob

[wild forge]

Thanks for the report

[mighty cliff]

lmao even attempting to us ethe arrow keys closes the game

[wild forge]

That's a bug for sure

I think I know exactly what i'd be as well

Betting it is an error about not decoding ASCII

Called it exactly

[mighty cliff]

who is the person on the left?

im geussing vedal

femboy

[wild forge]

It was supposed to be evil, I kinda forgot to finish the hair.

[mighty cliff]

oh ok

this is really cool eventhough im bad at this

[wild forge]

The guide is spot on about what to do. Wrapping is a pain.

[brazen marlin]

Someone else also make an engine during the jam?

[wild forge]

Me

[brazen marlin]

Nice, a fellow in self hatred

[wild forge]

Agreed

[mighty cliff]

i made a 3D engine based of pygame if that counts

[brazen marlin]

Good enough, welcome to the club

[mighty cliff]

also self hatred ye

[wild forge]

Welcome!

[brazen marlin]

We're a welcoming elitist group

[mighty cliff]

when something is farther it needs to be smaller right?

so you do x/z

but when you have negative depth everything goes to hell

[wild forge]

Just letting you know, there is a gui project

[mighty cliff]

il look into that

cuz rn out of the 700 lines if code, 300 are UI

[brazen marlin]

Wouldn't negative depth be behind you, and so wouldn't need to be drawn?

[wild forge]

py2exe-gui

Just have a phone or other translate ready

[mighty cliff]

yes but when yopu have an object next to the player, with one side visible, it does need to be drawn

[brazen marlin]

Ah, yeah that's tricky

[mighty cliff]

i resorted to just do x*10000

[brazen marlin]

I've not even tried doing a 3D project yet, it's on my list for self improvement

[gray musk]

And pygame menu too

[mighty cliff]

im gonna be honest here, i have no clue what a class or an object is

[wild forge]

I think last time I used py2exe is packaging a stupid program

[mighty cliff]

im ussing pyinstaller

[wild forge]

Best way of explaining it is a class is a bundle, an object is a type of class that can exist multiple times each having its own state

[zealous oxide]

a class contains a list of methods and variables declared outside the scope of those methods which are parameters and can contain one or several constructors which are called when a class is initialised and objects are instances of the class having objects is useful because its like attaching the same script to several entities and them all behaving similarly

[mighty cliff]

oooh

[wild forge]

I'll check into that

[mighty cliff]

i just used a bunch of functions and for loops

[brazen marlin]

Object-oriented programming is only one kind of programming, even if it is the most prevalent

[zealous oxide]

^

[rigid stag]

late submission for my smol game, was busy today morning so completed it during the evening. idk if this is allowed but i couldn't submit officially to jam submissions just sharing this here.
https://code-mna.itch.io/tutel

[brazen marlin]

Got a 404 error, it might be set to private

[vestal owl]

^

[wild forge]

I've recently learned it and now have a reason to hate the overuse of it.

[mighty cliff]

try posting something in the community tab on the itchio page maybe

MNA

[rigid stag]

alright

[brazen marlin]

Learning how to use functional programming properly is definitely also on my list of self improvements

OOP is just too intuitive to me atm and so I end up resorting to it

[zealous oxide]

only ever needed OOP

[mighty cliff]

my first thing on the list is using an actually good language

[rigid stag]

i believe it should be visible now

[brazen marlin]

What's wrong with python?

[mighty cliff]

its slow

[brazen marlin]

That's fair

[hard shard]

it's supposed to be fast

in producing a product

[mighty cliff]

it's single threaded

i have 16

[hard shard]

efficiency wise c#/c++

[rigid stag]

same, also many tech/codebases use oop already so as a beginner i feel like learning that more first helps getting an employment

[wild forge]

I do a lot of api's hence why I decided to do what I did. That code is definitely closer to functional while having classes and stuff.

[brazen marlin]

Yeah, fast production, slow product

[hard shard]

or assembly

[zealous oxide]

personnally i am an avid c# enjoyer but c++ is far too valued commercially

if that interrests you

[brazen marlin]

Yeah c++ is what I used for the jam to get more used to it

[hard shard]

c# is widely used cuz unity

[mighty cliff]

just learn basic lmao

[zealous oxide]

ASM is great if you want to tear your hair out

[hard shard]

but but it

its very efficient

[mighty cliff]

look at dwarf fortress? isnt that peak programming?

[zealous oxide]

by the time you're done making a functional product in ASM you'll be bald

[hard shard]

or dead

[wild forge]

Except for needed to implement everything yourself

[brazen marlin]

I'm not touching assembly because I know I'll love it and then I'll be stuck forever

[feral quarry]

I dislike C++, to me it just feels like the bad aspects of C and C# combined

C and C# are bussin' tho

[wild forge]

Hello future embedded circuit dev

[brazen marlin]

I've not learned anything about C#, but I could definitely see myself giving C a try

[zealous oxide]

@midnight otter my condolences for spending 2 fucking hours with the osu weapon in our game should have balanced it better

[mighty cliff]

idk what the difrences are. if im going into game programming, what should i choose?

[wild forge]

I still need to learn one of the c's

[feral quarry]

it's like browsers, just try stuff and see what you like
there is no real best option

[brazen marlin]

Ask 10 different devs and you'll get 20 different answers

[mighty cliff]

yee...

i know C is good but idk which one to choose

[brazen marlin]

I chose C++ because that's what's used for making engines, and I found working on engines to be the most fun part of game dev

[stable onyx]

depends on how hard you want to try

[brazen marlin]

C# seems to be the most integrated if you're using it alongside an engine

[zealous oxide]

C's use cases are rather limited i stand by learning c# or c++

or well ive seen jobs that use C

but not many

[brazen marlin]

Yeah I wouldn't learn C in order to get a job using C, but the things I'd learn from using it would carry over to a lot of places

[mighty cliff]

im going to university soon and im probably gonna do game dev

[zealous oxide]

then go c# for unity and godot or c++ for unreal

[brazen marlin]

The biggest lesson I learned for choosing a language is that once you learn one language, it's much easier to learn another. So don't stress too much about choosing "the right language" and just choose a language

[solid imp]

It comes down to what you're trying to program for. The lower level the language the closer to the hardware you'll get. Generally higher level languages are much easier to work with for beginners.

[rigid stag]

thanks, i uploaded a post with the path to the game in the community tab.

[brazen marlin]

Stick with it until you have a good grasp of it, then pivot to whichever language you find works best for you once you understand things better

[zealous oxide]

segfaults 💀

[brazen marlin]

It's really not as big of a deal as it feels like at the beginning

[solid imp]

Language skills transfer. Each language you learn will make the next language way easier to learn.

[rigid stag]

afterwards its easy to learn new languages, you shift to learning new paradigms instead

[mighty cliff]

i think il go for c++ then

[brazen marlin]

I have been loving c++

[feral quarry]

yeah everyone always says C is hard and painful, but when i first learned it I found it much much easier than C++
and once you get into it, it's not that much harder than C#

[rigid stag]

i like asp .net to build backends as well, it improved alot recently.

[mighty cliff]

gonna try and get a "bachelor digital arts and entertainment"

[solid imp]

Something helpful that you can do is look up jobs that you'd want to work and then try to learn skills based on those job descriptions.

[hard shard]

i picked up programming as a diploma

my current job has 0 relation to my diploma

xD

[brazen marlin]

I skipped college, student loans are for sad adults

[rigid stag]

getting a job with 0 exp is another different ball game tho

[solid imp]

But also keep in mind that tech and languages evolve pretty fast so the 'standard' now will likely be different from the standard in a few years.

[hard shard]

yea

i last used unity what

5 years ago?

[solid imp]

The important thing is to understand the fundamentals and the logic behind programming.

[hard shard]

alot has changed

[mighty cliff]

i dont live in the Us, not a problem i have to deal with

[solid imp]

You can supplement job experience with a project portfolio. Not saying it's easy by any means because job experience truly is valuable, but it goes a long way.

Just gotta be careful of tutorial hell.

[brazen marlin]

Yes, tutorial hell is a real place

[solid imp]

Better to fail fast than succeed slowly. Something I do when I have time is to try and do mini game jams. Like give myself 4 hours to make a basic game or clone of something simple and classic like snake or pong.

[wild forge]

Imagine your projects not having any real tutorials

[rigid stag]

yea i feel you need a very strong project and u should work with a team to build it, and market it as a startup/freelance project cuz that shows u have real xp. many people say they dont look at side-projects especially if it looks amateurish

[mighty cliff]

just looked at the website for the university i want to go to, they do c++ apparently

[solid imp]

There is a big difference between projects for learning and projects for your portfolio. Projects you learn from are the failures. Projects for your portfolio are the ones you polish.

[brazen marlin]

I'm too obsessed with learning to make good portfolio projects

And by that I mean I just hate polishing

[solid imp]

So if your goal is learning, I recommend failing fast and repetitively by giving yourself short timespans to do projects and moving on if it doesn't work out. Then you can go back to a prototype and build it out into something good for a portfolio after giving the idea some time to air out.

Usually you'll identify the major problems with a project in hours instead of over days/weeks/months doing it this way.

[rigid stag]

i just dont have the discipline, we are not the same

[mighty cliff]

8th in "Best Game Design & Development School" apparently

im getting of topic here

[wild forge]

Just a little

[mighty cliff]

anyways

[brazen marlin]

I think we've long since lost the game jam topic

[mighty cliff]

my game got its first comment and it was positive, very haappy

[rigid stag]

its over

[rigid stag]

what is it ill try it out

[cobalt inlet]

people hate this simple trick! how to turn into gigachad only after 1 year

just create

[rigid stag]

😆

What the Hell Happened

[wild forge]

Advice

[brazen marlin]

Only two games left without ratings

[wild forge]

I'm just quickly testing a fix, I'll probably grab one after.

[rigid stag]

man this jam i hope i dont get a virus

[brazen marlin]

One does not seem to have a download

[vestal owl]

Yeah

That's unlucky

[rigid stag]

@mighty cliff Cant play cuz your build doesn't match my screen, my screen has low res. this responsive resolution is the most annoying problem in game/web dev

[mighty cliff]

go to options

i have made custom res

didnt know this would actually pay of

[rigid stag]

nvm

i got it

i ran windows compat troubleshooter

ez hackermans

[rigid stag]

the buttons were invisible

[mighty cliff]

oh rip

what resolution is your screen tho???

1080 has been the standart for yeeeaaars

[gray musk]

shameless plug: https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449394

[mighty cliff]

i can do that too you know

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2444854

[brazen marlin]

Sure I'll join in the shameless plugging https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449357

[wild forge]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448884
You know I'd expect more than one rating /j

[mighty cliff]

oh you're market mischief??? you have most karma

[brazen marlin]

What's karma?

[mighty cliff]

i think interaction with other peoples games or so

you're first

[brazen marlin]

Oh, I knew that's how it worked with Ludum Dare, don't know why I didn't think that it'd be the same here

[zealous oxide]

oh shit my game has good karma? i though people would hate the last fight

[brazen marlin]

Karma's not how much people like your game, it's how much you rate and comment on other people's games

[zealous oxide]

ahh

we have like 5 comments then

only 2 ratings though

such is life

[wild forge]

Need to rack up those numbers

[mighty cliff]

im 12th cuz i attempt to play most games that interest me

[wild forge]

I've rated but haven't done comments yet.

[mighty cliff]

i have less vieuws but more downloads compared to yesterday

i guess polishing the website would have been a good idea before sleeping

[zealous oxide]

how do you view downloads?

[mighty cliff]

the arrow next to your profile

then dashboard

im on 13

[zealous oxide]

58

[mighty cliff]

13 is 57th in popularity apparently

you have cookie hunt?

[rigid stag]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-clap-clapping-applause-gif-10184275

[zealous oxide]

mine is neuro not found

the VN + platformer + bullet hell

all in one combo

[mighty cliff]

im bad with names

[rigid stag]

@mighty cliff i liked the stylized art like the hollow walls. i didnt know u could sprint with shift but i would increase the speed even more.

cuz the maze was big

[mighty cliff]

so you're 19th in popularity with 58 downloads?

[zealous oxide]

yeah

smth like that

[mighty cliff]

ok, thanks for the input

[wild forge]

Looking at impressions, How the frick do I have 2,609 of them

[brazen marlin]

You could say that's impressive

[wild forge]

I mean I guess just all of us scrolling through the pages

Because that just counts when your project has been seen

[rigid stag]

in game jams, i only download the high rated ones, if u make it browser accessible ull get more plays i think

[feral quarry]

bro itch.io's dark mode

[wild forge]

Return to the light

[zealous oxide]

shame our game can't build to webgl due to technical requirements

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1137591169149309038.webp?size=64&name=wetcatstare&quality=lossless

[wild forge]

Same here

[brazen marlin]

same

[mighty cliff]

i guess so but its too late for that now isnt it?

[rigid stag]

[rigid stag]

yea well i didnt even submit in time

[mighty cliff]

pretty sure python could run in browser

[wild forge]

Imagine getting 3 responses, all who made their own engine.

[zealous oxide]

mods let us resubmit 30min after deadline due to a memory leak in our game

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1070425363974459503.webp?size=64&name=bronoway&quality=lossless

[vestal owl]

How

[rigid stag]

idk if python has wasm

[cursive dawn]

You have unlocked new role

[feral quarry]

the people that play low rated download only games

[wild forge]

I've heard rust-python does

[vestal owl]

:O omg omg embed perms

[sudden storm]

bro what am i even doing with my life😭
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jXGFkpGARU&t=15s

[wild forge]

[mighty cliff]

people have made something for that i think, saw something while trying to turn a .py file into something itchio likes

[stable onyx]

why not try my low rated download only game : )
https://crogun.itch.io/tutel-temple

[rigid stag]

ez hack

art looks good ill try it

[wild forge]

What is actually impressive is me getting 18 downloads

[mighty cliff]

same

[wild forge]

Somehow

[feral quarry]

the tail is really unfortunate

[mighty cliff]

my game is just weaponized autism turned into a maze

im allowed to say that btw

[stable onyx]

I GUESS

[mighty cliff]

sure

il give it a try

[stable onyx]

I should have just not drawn a tail

[mighty cliff]

xd

im okay with playing games if people put in the efoort to advertise it

[feral quarry]

already found a bug lul
also is the movement inspired by any game? reminds me of Outcore

[wild forge]

Same here tbh

[stable onyx]

the movement is inspired by sonic

and so are the bugs

[mighty cliff]

i pressed continue withoput havin played before and it just started a new game XD

[stable onyx]

working as intended : )

it will save your progress if you quit from a level

[reef coral]

Some mushroom

[mighty cliff]

thye death sound is beautifull

[stable onyx]

if I had more time I would have included even more vedal noises

but I made sure to get the best one

[mighty cliff]

im stuck at lvl 2 xd

[brazen marlin]

Lol apparently in terms of popularity my game is fifth from bottom

[mighty cliff]

nah, figured it out

dash after wall jump

[north schooner]

So does the rum do anything in Alex's game?

[brazen marlin]

Anyway it is now the new year and I will thus go to sleep, was great talking to you all and I'm sure I'll be doing plenty more playing and rating tomorrow

[stable onyx]

I wish I had people to test it out before hand

because apparently it's only easy for me

[mighty cliff]

its been the new year for 7 hour for me

the future is bright

[brazen marlin]

Excellent

[mighty cliff]

you can dash trough platforms, apparently

just say its a feature

[stable onyx]

I made the collision system myself 🙂

it works perfectly

[mighty cliff]

its pretty good tb

tbh

to be honest

[stable onyx]

it accurately represents vedals cannon ability to phase through walls

[mighty cliff]

oh shit i used it to gety on top of the map

[stable onyx]

if you jump off the side you'll die or you can hit r to go to the menu

or find some way to phase back in idk

[mighty cliff]

ok thanks

you can walljump in dash mode

[stable onyx]

indeed

that is intentional, and can be used to climb walls

[mighty cliff]

and through walls cd

xd*

[stable onyx]

that too : |

[mighty cliff]

i keep messing up the 3 green skulls

ah i did it

[feral quarry]

it's all fun and games until you dash out the level

[raven swift]

I need to simply gitgud here?

[north schooner]

I was stuck there for a while. ||You need to transform into turtle mode as you are near the end||

[raven swift]

thought abotu it but still very tricky, thanks

[mighty cliff]

at the part with the 3 shafts you can cheese the left and right one by walljumping

[stable onyx]

that is the correct way to play the level

[mighty cliff]

oh

welp, i figured out how to do the colums

[stable onyx]

I didn't bother doing anything about it because I thought the level was too hard

[stable onyx]

👍🏿 good job that's the hardest part

[mighty cliff]

i finished the game

i think it might be my favorite of the ones i played

it has fun bugs

not game breaking bugs

thanks for making it

if you look past the colision bugs its top 20 this game jam imo

[stable onyx]

thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[raven swift]

my day is ruined

oh good I broke the game

[hard shard]

working as intended

trust

[blazing bramble]

Just think outside the lava

Walking on lava, going trough the walls, duping neuros, duping drones and mirrors is a feature not a bug

Everyone knows that

[raven swift]

right

[midnight otter]

the neuro subathon chat experience

[odd igloo]

average camila raid

[mighty cliff]

aigth, its 8 am here

sun started to rise

i should go to bed

im happy with 57th popularity

cuz i know my game wasnt that good but i thought it was worse

see yall later

[tidal thunder]

👉👈 I'm glad you got through it

[hardy fiber]

damn there are so many great games

thats crazy

[earnest mortar]

Racked in that karma today

[earnest mortar]

clean out the whole list

[mystic kindle]

https://youtu.be/MMxbF3K4-o8

it can be faster

I did a mistake here

[blazing bramble]

Run can be optimized by 15 seconds for sure

Gl on doing faster

Prob sub 1:30 possible

[mystic kindle]

[blazing bramble]

[reef coral]

There's already speedruns of this???

[mystic kindle]

[reef coral]

[gleaming ledge]

[reef coral]

that's a nightmare

[gleaming ledge]

im goddamit im still here

that puzzle is

[mystic kindle]

just fly

smh

[gleaming ledge]

nah im good

[outer schooner]

man, theres a lot of shitpost games

and its sad that many of the non-shitposts don't really incorporate the theme that much

[reef coral]

what's the ratio between it then?

[outer schooner]

I don't know, I've only played like 10 games total

[short lion]

What's the amount of games that are both not shitposts and incorporate the theme?

[outer schooner]

and all but 1 had web versions

I know that targeting WebGL can introduce weird bugs, but most of these were made on unity or godot, is it really that hard to check a box?

[hard shard]

I didn't do a build till like 5 mins left sooo

[outer schooner]

fair I guess

[zealous oxide]

i mean theres many ways you can interpret "lost and found" like in our game you collect the buttons on neuros shirt

which she "lost"

[tacit coral]

yeah this this one of those typical things that get forgotten until it's too late I regret only building for one platform too

[zealous oxide]

also WebGL is impossible for certain projects like ours which was made in unity but certain things can break the build like in our case our title screen broke it due to how it was created

its just gamejam things

that can be fixed given time we dont have

[outer schooner]

yeah WebGL kinda sucks

but the top rated games are usually ones that have WebGL because of the convenience

[short lion]

I had to make a build on the second day of the jam specifically to make sure the UI looks okay on web small screen scaling got it all messed up but luckily fixed it afterwards

[soft totem]

haha

i will probably remove the wgl ver later

[short lion]

Why?

[soft totem]

play the webgl version

see how freaking terrible it is

text doesent exist on chromium/derivatives

mousedrift on firefox

crouch is mapped to ctrl

[scarlet tree]

hello yes i like gamejams

they're uhh fun

[soft totem]

msn

[short lion]

Oh I see what you mean

Time to download it instead

[scarlet tree]

[soft totem]

:3

if only something like webvulkan existed

[outer schooner]

I think I broke vedal's game

[soft totem]

vedals game is bugridden

[outer schooner]

why am I not surprised

[soft totem]

all graphics

[zealous oxide]

its just post processing

he coded on stream a good chunk

our game uses similar glow effects

[soft totem]

yeah

[outer schooner]

I genuinely don't know how to do this puzzle without the bug

[mystic kindle]

alt tab lock neuro, with mirror you can control evil outside the border somehow

I ddin't record

sad

[outer schooner]

yeah wtf

oh my god, I just realized

bravo vedal, good puzzle.

game definitely needs some work though

[soft totem]

yeah

[outer schooner]

ok apparently thats an illegal move?

[soft totem]

huh

[outer schooner]

I thought ||I had to push the pedastel over a pot in the water||

but apparently thats illegal

[soft totem]

lel

[outer schooner]

I don't think this was intended either

[mystic kindle]

[soft totem]

haha

[outer schooner]

every copy of Quest through the Harrison Temple is personalized

[short lion]

It's actually pretty cool, challenging 3D platformer rated it

[soft totem]

haha

thanks!

[outer schooner]

Im starting to think this was intended, but I guess I'll find out when I watch the speedrun

[mystic kindle]

Guys

there is no correct path in a puzzle game

if you solve it

you did it

this is one of the way, and there's more ways like pushing them out, or don't use the mirror at all, push the pot instead

there's no intended way

[outer schooner]

that was the purpose of those pots??

[short lion]

Open-ended puzzling new feature just dropped

[soft totem]

haha

[mighty cliff]

I dont think so

[outer schooner]

I recall seeing vedal be surprised when someone in chat said water while he was doing that part

but I didn't see him do that solution

[mighty cliff]

I was there on stream too when he made this but i was focused on my own game

Everytime i look im slightly higherin terms of sort by popularity

47th now

I wonder if vedal will do one of these again cuz i liked it.
Its handy thati have vacation now tho cuz otherwise i wouldnt have had the time.

[soft totem]

hey @short lion if you still use unity with webgl after this gamejam i reccomend you use https://seansleblanc.itch.io/better-minimal-webgl-template since this one is much better for itch.io just remember to check add fulscreen button in itch

[outer schooner]

yeah, some of the webgl builds didnt have fullscreen and it was annoying

I have a really high resolution monitor so any of the games that dont have proper fullscreen is annoying

[short lion]

Oh yeah, I heard about this one ty for the link!

[soft totem]

no problem

[short lion]

Basic loading bar (2020.2 and higher only - please comment if you need this added to earlier versions)
mfw Unity 2018

[potent flint]

how im supposed to do this jump ? like sonic ?

[mighty cliff]

Dude has the 16K ultrawide

[outer schooner]

don't use unity 2018?

[soft totem]

wait UNITY2018?

[mighty cliff]

Go to the left and dash downwards

On the ramp

[short lion]

Need it for a long term project

[outer schooner]

my brother in christ, you are using a 6 year old game engine

it would be beneficial to you and your players to upgrade the engine to at least 2021

[mighty cliff]

Damn, 2018 is 6 years ago

[soft totem]

ah

[bright dome]

i'm kinda confused, what are "winning conditions" in Tutel Trouble?

[short lion]

Upgrading an engine mid development comes with its own issues so no can't do

Breaking the way things look and reimporting everything

[outer schooner]

I'm fully aware

but if you can get past the initial problems, its usually very worth it

but I guess I am just a software dev, not a game dev

[tacit coral]

agreed, but there's a certain anxiety that comes with upgrading (unknown breaking changes etc.) that get real scary when you only have 72 hours to work with. I realized halfway through was working on unity 2020.1

[outer schooner]

oh, don't upgrade during a game jam

definitely not worth it in that context

but if you have been working on a game for so long that your engine is 5+ years out of date, you should look into upgrading it

[soft totem]

i think its time for me to make my first godot game

[mighty cliff]

I think its time for shameless selfpromotion

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2444854

[worthy berry]

my browser won't let me download your game it tells me there's a virus

[outer schooner]

what browser?

[soft totem]

is windows kidding me

my colors are purpleish again

[worthy berry]

chro;e

[soft totem]

i hate windows hdr

[worthy berry]

chrome*

[outer schooner]

oh yeah I can't run this for some reason either

[soft totem]

funni

[outer schooner]

got a popup from window's I've never seen before, and a quarantined message from win defender

[soft totem]

ah

and

@outer schooner

[outer schooner]

why does the component of the library do a version check after it has been compiled into a binary

thats stupid

[limpid tapir]

Just found that our game used uncompressed video file...
Compressing 2 file reduced the final file size by 90MO

[hollow sequoia]

How can I pass this part without a drone

[outer schooner]

I'm still stuck here

I have no clue how I'm supposed to retrieve the pots

unless I can push boulders and I didn't know or something

[soft totem]

haha

[soft totem]

do a gamer move called spawning evil on plattform

ig

[outer schooner]

I dont have the mirror

[soft totem]

vedals game sucks bumm

[hollow sequoia]

You can push the table down and then push the pots

[outer schooner]

but then you cant get the table back

at least, not without sacrificing a pot

surely camila didnt figure this one out right

wait, am I supposed to have the mirror for evil?

that would solve the puzzle

[hollow sequoia]

You have to push the table to the last scene first

[outer schooner]

?

oh my god

Im so stupid

in my defense-

I'm going to blame vedal too because the room transition there is super buggy and I did not want to deal with it again

[long elk]

the room transition throws you off the real solution anyways

[potent flint]

neuro's ram rescue was fun to play, i don't know if it was intended that i keep my card after loosing but made the game finishable with ym poor skill

[thorn heart]

lmao

[soft totem]

haha

[thorn heart]

cast her into the void

[fallow oriole]

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ???

I thought my score was decent

[thorn heart]

i got close to finishing this once and now i cant replicate it

[candid mason]

this is a tough one...

[short lion]

https://florian-castel.itch.io/connection-loss Can't believe I solved this one really good wiring puzzle game

[thorn heart]

got the same score, i kept whiffing the tutel 😭

[silk zenith]

what was he cooking?

[thorn heart]

crazy aim trainer

im stuck here

[fallow oriole]

"whiffing" ESL moment I guess, you mean missclicking the tutel ?

[thorn heart]

basically

[candid mason]

evil needs to be able to get the drone and activate it so neuro can get across

[fallow oriole]

happened to me too but the hitbox is already huge, increasing it would be cheating

[thorn heart]

yup

[silk zenith]

I completed this level, this is not how the mirror supposed to work

[thorn heart]

would be hilarious if the tutel moved at light speeds and you had to track him for 3 seconds to "find" him

[silk zenith]

not the mirror, the column

[fallow oriole]

I like the idea, too bad the jam is over

[fallow oriole]

[silk zenith]

is this the end?

[thorn heart]

got a better score

[silk zenith]

ok, I will upload the full playtrough

[fallow oriole]

I'm cringing so hard just looking at screenshots of my game, like it's not terrible but it was so much pressure doing something in a short period of time that I kinda hate looking at the game now

[short lion]

Screenshots:
Gameplay:

[thorn heart]

lol, ive noticed if you click the retry button the circle doesnt resize again until you find the 1st tutel

[wooden coral]

can u give me a link

[wraith matrix]

I have the opposite problem, I still can't get over that one softlock that Alex didn't allow me to match, but the looks are fine

[fallow oriole]

I'm not saving any data when you restart, it's really odd but let's call it a feature I guess

[short lion]

Wait, what for? I was saying that about a lot of games in the jam tbh

[wraith matrix]

I already have the full patch ready that fixes all problems, I can't wait to upload it to give people a better experience

[wooden coral]

ah

[wooden coral]

i hope that full patch fixes the well

[wraith matrix]

oh, it fixes more than the well

it's bug free now

[candid mason]

got the cooki

[wooden coral]

[wraith matrix]

the well patch was super simple tho lmao

[sand island]

[steel imp]

You know

It would be pretty nice if the game has a secret path

Arg related

[fallow oriole]

[sand island]

also lmao

[steel imp]

[wraith matrix]

as in that was all I did, and that fixes it

[thorn heart]

[sand island]

i didn't even realise that missing lost you time until like 400 points oops

i should try recording a run

[thorn heart]

might be cause im playing on the browser, but i really like this feature!!

[fallow oriole]

The time blinking in red to indicate it without distracting the user with a huge text on screen, I should have made it more visible I guess

[fallow oriole]

Might be a skill issue on my side

[thorn heart]

couldve let us make it transparent too since vedal can hide behind it lol though its not too bad

[sand island]

nah im just stupid lol

[wooden coral]

i speedrun #2023-game-jam

[short lion]

(dis my game tho https://superobot1.itch.io/neuros-lost-and-found-kingdom)

[sand island]

goddamit i missclicked and ended my run at 910

[short lion]

Also the Vedal sonic remake is genius even if I can't get through this level for the life of me https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449467?before=8#post-9128418

[deft fog]

vedal finished the game?

[sand island]

also i swear this game runs worse as more stuff spawns

though it may just be me being unable to notice on the bigger circle

[fallow oriole]

I mean rendering anything is costly in performance so displaying a lot of characters on screen can kill framerate, I capped the amount but the number might still be too high

[sand island]

im gonna try the windows build because this is probably a browser issue

[fallow oriole]

why did I put this number so high

[sand island]

tbh that's not that bad - you still get like 2.7us per character to target 144fps

and i am playing on a gtx970 after all

[lilac lance]

NOW

[fallow oriole]

inside the editor I had 60fps with 8000 characters on screen with a RX 6600, but haven't tested in browser

[sand island]

here's the run for anyone who's interested

[thorn heart]

still stuck on this part but managed to get eliv on the other side

[potent flint]

what's that game ?

[short lion]

Can vouch for "connection lost", really enjoyed that one

[thorn heart]

where am i supposed to go from here if neuro jumps in the lava, also dont ask why i didnt take the drone. there were 2 and i grabbed the other one

[sand island]

the windows version runs wayy better

but it fucks up my hdr when i launch fullscreen

[silk zenith]

Evil can activate the column

[silk zenith]

oh wait, stand on the spring

[fallow oriole]

glad to hear, it was a smart move to make a exe version, as for the hdr I don't know since I have a basic monitor, sorry :x

[sand island]

yeah dw a lot of games break windows hdr for some reason

[potent flint]

i've tried them 3 in brpwser, really good

[thorn heart]

if i stand on the spring evil isnt in the right spot

:<

[fallow oriole]

so many talented people in the jam, the swarm is proud of you

[silk zenith]

well, you should play around the spring

[uneven bison]

Some non-Game Jam people are commenting on our game and we have our first Indonesian reviewer ^^

[wooden coral]

i need help with the speedrun timer

[uneven bison]

I am hoping to help them fully develop this game

[short lion]

I swear people in Neurocord are god tier gamers what the heck

[wooden coral]

ngl i could do it faster

[uneven bison]

Hey can any of you record the ending of our game, I'm on mobile and can't play it right now

https://sugarph.itch.io/fragment-of-ai

[wooden coral]

oh sure

[uneven bison]

People liked the ending a lot

[wooden coral]

ill play it then upload it on yt

[uneven bison]

So I'm curious

[wooden coral]

there's no full screen!?

[silk zenith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSd-9TtMpZo&ab_channel=RedGDS

[uneven bison]

I wish we could

[fallow oriole]

there's an option for it

[rocky fern]

didn't someone post the end credits in here a while ago? (more specfically, a version that didn't make it in time for the jam submission)

[uneven bison]

It's still a prototype btw and we hope to fully release it as a game

[uneven bison]

Yeah, with the unused stuff, and also is unused itself i think

[visual steeple]

It was a nice run while it lasted, pff

[fallow oriole]

you guys are so much better than I am at my own game

[soft totem]

haha

[hollow sequoia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d929uAY7nM

[soft totem]

nobody can beat me in my game

and thats sad

[fallow oriole]

which one is it ? I've played through a lot of games yesterday but there's so much more to play

[wooden coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hBiUx6shQM

i forgot to post this lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0bsRdu1yCQ

video still processing lul

[bright dome]

are you going to playthrough every game?

[wooden coral]

yes

[bright dome]

i'm going to play and rate every game as well

[soft totem]

still a hillarious comment

[potent flint]

is that normal ?

[rocky fern]

ping me if you upload a gameplay of my game please (specially if first time rather than just walkthrough), in the end I did not have time to get playtesters properly nor watched anyone go through it yet

[bright dome]

i'm on 10% so far

[analog sierra]

This happens if you select a game (like you can select text) on itch

Like on discord it turns blue if you select it

[potent flint]

oh

[potent flint]

also is that normal that i can killl the enemy before they finish their dialogue ?

[analog sierra]

speedrun strats (no that isn't intended)
