[wooden coral]

@placid vessel found all 26 chickens, uplodaing video now

[placid vessel]

Thank you

There are between 15 - 30 chickens on any play so if you restart enough you could get alower number and a better time

Oh if you'd used the sprint button you could have done better as well

[mystic kindle]

I still can't beat loml

sadge

[wooden coral]

theres a sprint button?

[placid vessel]

shfit

[wooden coral]

welp

ill do that later

[placid vessel]

There's also an attack if you press Space, it doesn't do anything though

[wooden coral]

why would u implement an attack feature?

[placid vessel]

[wooden coral]

ngl godot bro, i have to go to cmd every time and just "--rendering-driver opengl3"

[placid vessel]

Once I elevate to levels of fame as Hideo Kojima, people will come up with an explanation for me, and all of them shall be trye

[uneven bison]

Nice

[soft totem]

cant you run vulk?

[rocky fern]

the web version didn't work or you prefer desktop?

[rocky fern]

iirc I'm using compatibility mode so that I can export to web, so not sure if it even uses vulkan when available

[fallow oriole]

it uses opengl in compatibility mode, shaders aren't working too

[soft totem]

[frosty mantle]

Okay, time to rate some gamez

[neon night]

only one visual novel in the ENTIRE jam

[sand island]

i may be missing something but the flamethrower seems a little strong

[grim fjord]

I'm curious what people think about our game.. we want to improve our game jam skills so any comment/feedback is very appreciated
The game is about keeping Neuro sane during stream to avoid losing viewership.
You play as a Neuro's brain cell inside her and for example if chat spams "Bedge" you have to wake her up by using a bell.
Also we have a lot of custom sfx! (@covert badger made a fantastic job with that)
https://metriko.itch.io/dont-do-this-to-me-neuro

btw. The game is very balanced and replayable.. It's almost fully finished product

[zealous oxide]

Meanwhile our VN + 2 other genre game

[sand island]

i would never fumble the split key

[short lion]

When you make VN + Platformer + Bullet hell for the Neuro Jam

[zealous oxide]

[short lion]

I love the Evil neuro troll face you guys made, so iconic lol

[wooden coral]

where does one find this art

[zealous oxide]

Neuro not found

[wooden coral]

@rocky fern gg

[zealous oxide]

Is the name

[short lion]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448549 Link, it's @zealous oxide 's game (+the rest of the team who made it)

[wooden coral]

bet

[zealous oxide]

Melee is the easiest class

The ranged ones are more challenging

[short lion]

I might want to retry it with a pickaxe, I failed hard with the microphone

[zealous oxide]

Some guy spent 2 hours with the osu tablet

The madman

[rocky fern]

iirc according to the comments they only balanced the pickaxe, the others are very underpowered

[short lion]

Yeah, sadly I saw those comments after playing

[zealous oxide]

The mic is not THAT bad

But the osu tablet is like a dark souls boss

[short lion]

It's a skill issue 😔 The platforming is pretty great in your game though, I struggle hard with platformers but still enjoyed it and managed to beat it

After enough tries

[wooden coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6kbvhKb1Kc

processing

[zealous oxide]

Ngl the levels where much harder

I was told to nerf them so people can get to the boss

[short lion]

Thank you for the nerfs game devs often don't feel how hard their game can be to newcomers after playtesting during development / being genre experts, I felt the difficulty in your game was just right

[zealous oxide]

Still our game has 2 ratings so gg any chance of vedal raging with a ranged weapon

[short lion]

Well outside the final boss but that's a skill issue on my end possibly

[short lion]

Says 3 ratings for me! but also

[zealous oxide]

There is a way to cheese the final boss

[wraith matrix]

oh, so that's YOUR youtube channel

[short lion]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448549 Please neurons rate this game it's good okay I'll stop spamming it

[fading mirage]

Based on Lomi's 1:33 time, I'm probably not far from the end of vedal's game but its 8:30 and i need sleep lol.

[grim fjord]

Ok, I will rate it
Feel free to rate our game too #2023-game-jam message

[fading mirage]

The sections I have rn total... 59.7616148 seconds according to python.

[soft totem]

lets see

[vapid galleon]

nice music

[short lion]

(Not my game for the record)

But I think it's a very high quality submission and I don't want people to ignore it just because it's downloadable

[zealous oxide]

It was impossible to build to WebGL

[short lion]

I will! going to get lunch and rate more games afterwards

[rocky fern]

I really should had added a visual cue to the level in which you have to hold two buttons to cancel the blue laser

I wonder if I could/should have done something about the second to last, maybe just add more levels before it to force you to get used to the relay bots bit by bit

[wraith matrix]

it's too bad you were the one to discover the well softlock first, would have loved to warn you for you to have a clean playthrough :c I hope nothing got ruined if you did record it already

[wooden coral]

i failed the playthrough

the pickaxe was too hard to use (i have to use the mouse to use it, let alone jump using space bar at the same time)

[neon night]

i put a lot of effort into it cmon

what do you even mean tho

[frosty mantle]

That's just a joke, relax

[wooden coral]

lol its fine

btw is the full patch ready yet?

[wraith matrix]

yes

I'm just waiting for the rating to end so I can upload it the minute it's available

[wooden coral]

got a failed playthrough cus of controls

[wraith matrix]

if you want I can DM you the patch already so you can have a better video

[dense reef]

@wooden coral rate our game smh

or play

you play

[wooden coral]

wheres ur game again?

[dense reef]

[wraith matrix]

would you like me to DM you the patch early so you can have a smoother experience for the recording?

[wooden coral]

sure

[wooden coral]

html5 game gonna be stuck in loading for a while

[short lion]

I got tempted into trying it out and gotta say your game is very giga-brained

[wraith matrix]

alright, just give me like 3min as I upload it with my 0.7mbps internet speed

[mystic kindle]

FUCK, I ALMOST BEAT LOMI

FUCK FUCK FCK

Wait

lomi is 1:33.88

I BEAT IT

LET'S GOOO

AHHHHHHHHH

finally

@proper scroll

@proper scroll

that was fast

[proper scroll]

show proof

now

[mystic kindle]

wait

pr is crashing

[mellow yacht]

caibi beat lomo!!

[proper scroll]

also

you haven't finished the game yet

[mystic kindle]

I pressed the wrong key

what ever I did it

[proper scroll]

you haven't beat my record

[mystic kindle]

I'll do it again

[proper scroll]

Do it

[mystic kindle]

you can't get my WR

never

[zealous oxide]

That's odd because one of our devs was beating it entirely on controller we did not use keycodes for any input in the game

[wooden coral]

im only on keyboard

[potent flint]

anyone tried Harrison Temple: Construction ? does the multi work well ?

[wooden coral]

@dense reef @frosty mantle is this supposed to happen? i cant get out

[zealous oxide]

Yeah so you're saying the issue was that you could not re bind controls?

[wooden coral]

ill try again though

[zealous oxide]

The melee hitbox is rather large and you can attack while mid air

[proper scroll]

1:33.88 is not my true record

[young solar]

Do we think Vedal is going to be playing these games live on stream soon?

[wooden coral]

if only i knew this sooner

[zealous oxide]

If all else fails there is a cheese strat as listed in the comments

[frosty mantle]

That's a bug

[wooden coral]

FUCK

[young solar]

dug

[wooden coral]

[mystic kindle]

only count sumitted ones

no video = no record

Honestly might offer a bounty to whoever can beat our game with the osu tablet that shit is ROUGH

[mystic kindle]

WHAAAAT

NOOO

NOO

YOU'RE LYING

[raw tulip]

speedrun？

[proper scroll]

I'm not lying

[mystic kindle]

loml is at human limit rn

Imma beat u

[proper scroll]

i can do better

[raw tulip]

[zealous oxide]

Sub 1:30 vedal game should be possible

Keep at it

[grim fjord]

Did you have fun when playing it?

[mystic kindle]

gg

@proper scroll

[wooden coral]

@

@zealous oxide i cant rebind controls

[zealous oxide]

I know

[proper scroll]

video?

[mystic kindle]

wait a sec

[zealous oxide]

Accessibility issues

Gg

[wooden coral]

now whose idea is this

attack should not be on mouse when on 2d platform games

[zealous oxide]

Idk one of our artists made that

[wooden coral]

unless...

[mystic kindle]

There're still some mistakes like stopping on walls, over tapping

I can improve this more

[zealous oxide]

But the bind for attacking is "Fire1" not mouse button 1

[mystic kindle]

sub 1:30

[zealous oxide]

So maybe there's another input? Idk can't check on mobile

[wraith matrix]

Be like me: multiple keybinds. Wanna move? Arrows or WASD. Wanna interact? E, Space, and LMB all work. Feels nice

[zealous oxide]

Left ctrl should work too on keyboard for fire

[grim fjord]

It was your idea to make osu bullets being destroyed by boss bullets?

[potent flint]

"found you" game mechanic is really fun

[zealous oxide]

I'm one of the devs not him and that's a bug

Osu weapon is not advised

[short lion]

Yes! I want to retry it and get a better score. It's really cool how you have to watch chat and what's happening to try and figure out what to do

[zealous oxide]

It's a tag issue

[grim fjord]

That.. that explains a lot

I don't know how long I'm trying to beat her with that

[short lion]

Yeah I'm not the dev on that game just a really cool game I wanted to let people know about

[grim fjord]

[zealous oxide]

Mic projectiles won't break

But melee is flat out op

[wooden coral]

i made the mistake of choosing osu tablet

the cooldown is crazy

[zealous oxide]

Bro our last minute bug was a fucking memory leak thank goodness a broken weapon is what's wrong with the game

[grim fjord]

Did any if of you manage to beat boss with osu bullets?

[zealous oxide]

Yes

But he plays bullet hells

[grim fjord]

Ehh.. those touhou players

I will try to beat her with that then

[wraith matrix]

I've played a touhou or two

[grim fjord]

(knowing it's possible)

[zealous oxide]

Please no

One guy spent 2 hours

[wraith matrix]

and by that I mean Touhou 15, the hardest one of the bunch, is my favorite of them all

[zealous oxide]

And got her to half

It's not worth it

[wraith matrix]

there's a grinding game that takes 2hrs to get halfway through?

[zealous oxide]

No it's just one of our weapons is so underpowered

That one guy spent 2 hours trying to beat the boss

The average melee player completes it in 4min

[wraith matrix]

Ah, like bringing a copper sword to a Skeletron Prime battle

[zealous oxide]

Yes exactly

[austere bridge]

lmao our penultimate build had a memory leak, but it's fine because that's literally the name of our game, so it's a feature

[grim fjord]

Maybe not a touhou but I'm a N++ player.. I can give it a few more tries.

[wraith matrix]

my game engine had a memory leak during the last hour before deadline, luckily there's a backup that saves your every action so I could recover it xd

[zealous oxide]

If it helps the boss repeats the same moveset every 50seconds so you can track her attacks

[wooden coral]

memory leaks?

[grim fjord]

I know, I spotted it too

I hate the 4th phase when she just straight up is shooting in our direction (no bullet can reach her in that phase)

[zealous oxide]

In V1 of the boss she shot 500 bullets during that phase

[grim fjord]

x_x

[grim fjord]

Did your last 2 days of the jam was just boss balancing?

[proper scroll]

???

[mystic kindle]

?

[zealous oxide]

No the boss was made from scratch in 8 hours

[proper scroll]

you haven't touches the turtle yet

doesn't count

[mystic kindle]

bro

in the code ara I was already set to that position

tho the animation is not done

[proper scroll]

what

that doesn't make sense

[grim fjord]

@zealous oxide Wanna rate/comment on our game too?

[mystic kindle]

ok

so add 0.1

I still win u

[short lion]

Their game is good I recommend 👍

[mystic kindle]

https://youtu.be/PtJ417D7baY

[zealous oxide]

Our captain has been going around rating all sorts of games I could send them your way

Pass me a link

[grim fjord]

Ok, here is a link then: #2023-game-jam message

[mystic kindle]

ok

the score should be

1:32.06

calculated

[proper scroll]

that doesn't count...

it only count when the animation fully stopped

[zealous oxide]

Sent they are in Australia though so they will prob be up a little later

Runaa waltz in this serv

[mystic kindle]

yes

so the record is changed to 1:32.06

[short lion]

Shoutout to the jammers who left NO GAME UN-RATED
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/unrated

People absolutely cooked for this jam. Also finally got to 666 ratings in the jam in total, praise the abber demon

[wooden coral]

Buh

I cant beat evil with the picķace

I can only do half of her hp

[zealous oxide]

Cheese strat: jump on her head

Bullet games aren't for everyone

[wraith matrix]

I counted all devs and I got this info:

[False info]

[zealous oxide]

False info

Unreal team had 11 members

[mystic kindle]

does vedal and neuro count as duo

[wraith matrix]

I guess they weren't mentioned in the list then?

[mystic kindle]

[wraith matrix]

or I guess they never submitted anything

so it isn't listed

nevermind then

[zealous oxide]

They submitted neuro shock

[dense quail]

Wait are all entries in and now we play and rate them>

[gray musk]

Yup

[short lion]

Yeah! Though only people who participated in the jam can rate them

[gray musk]

#2023-game-jam message

Oooh I see

[mystic kindle]

imagine when chat say shock, vedal gets shock

[zealous oxide]

[wooden coral]

BRO

THE BULLEYS

💀

[gray musk]

I'm looking back on my code and I wanna go back and redo so much of it

So much was hard coded in the last four hours prior to submission

[wooden coral]

I DID 9T

[fading mirage]

ah... iv been setting up a glitchless run 😛 I'll do a glitch run as well I guess after i sleep

[mystic kindle]

[frosty mantle]

Is everything fine with the video? It is absolutely bugged to hell.

[wooden coral]

my specs arent the best, thats why i download every game

urs is html5 and its buggy af (for me)

[frosty mantle]

I can provide a native build.

[wraith matrix]

maybe you can reduce recording quality for better performance?

that's one thing that always got me when I had a worse pc

[wooden coral]

the problem is idk how

i tried every yt video

[short lion]

Question about your game @grim fjord , how do I avoid the death spiral? sometimes I get to a situation where I feel like I can't salvage Neuro

[wooden coral]

i tried asking here but i got no response

[wraith matrix]

I can try to help, I've got 660 videos and many are high quality xdd

[short lion]

I filter too much, people freak out, I filter too little, people also freak out it's a cruel world out there

[sand island]

not sure if you're doing it but disabling obs' preview really helps me (if you're even using obs)

[grim fjord]

Maybe she's too hatefull/lovely? If chat spams "<3 <3 <3" or "D: D: D:" that means she went to far and you need to correct her by rotating emotional wheel in proper directon.

You can read spoiler with all emojis explained in the game's description on the website

[frosty mantle]

Neuro's Lost And Found Kingdom is my favorite game so far.

[zealous oxide]

Alr it's 10am my sleep schedule is extra fucked so imma pass out tysm for playing our game @grim fjord @wooden coral I'll be sure to play your games myself when I wake up

[gray musk]

CJ have you played NeuroQuest?

[short lion]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh that makes sense

Okay thank you

[frosty mantle]

I am working my way through the Browser filter for now

[fading mirage]

@mystic kindlebefore I leave though I will mention that there's at least maybe... 1 time save you're not using, and the other you messed up on i think

[gray musk]

Same, I wanna try play everything. I wish I had made NeuroQuest a browser game, they seem to get rated more than downloads

[mystic kindle]

wat

[short lion]

I got to 2:36 seconds and everything was flying by so quickly if any chatters want to try it it's https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2444842, big recommend.

[covert badger]

You can pull the memory flusher (the thing above the screen) to slow things down if it gets too fast. That'll cost you quite a bit of RAM and Neuro will ignore chat for a while, though.

[wooden coral]

i came up with 1390 and somehow got wrong

[short lion]

I love the concept of an opaque machine (which is fun to interact with) that you guys have set up, kudos

[covert badger]

Really happy to see it worked out well

[frosty mantle]

What's the numbers on the paintings?

Hm

That's strange

[mystic kindle]

loml

[rain anvil]

I have the same problem

[mystic kindle]

have you beat my record

[bright dome]

i also had this problem and then i used good old strategy of mashing random numbers and it worked

[analog sierra]

I had the same problem yesterday

[wooden coral]

bruh on my bugged ending video, i somehow got it right

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX6NB6PAtX4

NNF

[somber stone]

i got the numbers on first try, and then the game has eternally freezed when i pressed Q on one of the doors too many times

[frosty mantle]

Do you also have 0 on the painting?

[rain anvil]

I restarted the game several times (3) and never once was able to open that safe. I don't remember the exact numbers, I can run it again now

[wooden coral]

okay the bugged ending gameplay didnt have zero on the painting @frosty mantle

https://youtu.be/VBvG7zagOPE?si=Bpd13Az_I-CkQevz&t=281

see here

[frosty mantle]

I wanted to remove 0 from the code

[wooden coral]

and this time it had zero, you can guess the outcome

softlock number real

[dense reef]

@frosty mantle didnt we have this bug before

[wooden coral]

paused the recording, finna replay it again

[frosty mantle]

We did, and I thought I fixed it

Gonna try to reproduce now

I cannot reproduce it wtf

It works

Hm, some combinations are wacky

[prisma bobcat]

Wait, isnt 9130 the correct answer?

Im confused

[frosty mantle]

Based on ^, it should be 1390

[prisma bobcat]

???

[frosty mantle]

[prisma bobcat]

Im still lost

[frosty mantle]

It seems that it looks to the backwards order

[wooden coral]

?????????????

bruh

[frosty mantle]

...it's even worse. Order is 3124, but the code is ordered as 2341.

[wooden coral]

1390 should be the answer

since

[prisma bobcat]

Why?

[frosty mantle]

I don't have a clue.

[wooden coral]

3 - 1
1 - 3
2 - 9
4 - 0

https://youtu.be/VBvG7zagOPE?si=Bpd13Az_I-CkQevz&t=281

this one was working

[prisma bobcat]

9130 is the answer though

[frosty mantle]

Which is wrong

[wooden coral]

care to explain?

[prisma bobcat]

Wait @wooden coral What is the correct answer according to the game?

If the code is 3-9-1-0 and the order is 3124 the answer is 9130

[wooden coral]

how would i have that figured out?

[frosty mantle]

Where is the logic though? I don't understand.

[wooden coral]

if its 9130 the note code would be 2314

am i wrong?

[prisma bobcat]

Ok so ill try explain

[frosty mantle]

I think I found the issue

It produces index -1 that completely breaks the order

[prisma bobcat]

Wait wait

[frosty mantle]

Wait

[prisma bobcat]

In like 2 min

[wooden coral]

[prisma bobcat]

9 is mapped to 1, so 9 is first.
1 is mapped to 2, so 1 is second.
3 is mapped to 3, so 3 is third.
0 is mapped to 4, so 0 is last
9130

[frosty mantle]

[prisma bobcat]

Am I missing something or am I

[proper palm]

any renpy devs who have past builds of their games pls dm me

[prisma bobcat]

I did write the code for this but then again my coding is dum

[wooden coral]

i touched renpy but i havent made a full game yet

[grim fjord]

@frosty mantle
FYI I like helping people with algorithms and sharing my knowledge.
If you want some code review from experienced game developer or help with a code let me know.
Currently I'm working with Godot professionally but I have background with C#, C++ and more too.
👆 This is also for everyone else.. feel free to ask if you have any problems with code (especially with Godot) 😁

[prisma bobcat]

I am so lost

and I wrote the algo for it

[frosty mantle]

Here is the original code for this puzzle:
https://github.com/Darkeew/neuro-gamejam/blob/bbb680efeb960c064e306f9345f8f8ac327c3589/scripts/global/Global.gd#L88-L119

[wooden coral]

9 is mapped to painting ONE!?

[grim fjord]

Didn't play it yet. What's the puzzle? Is it hard to get into it?

[prisma bobcat]

ok so the "painting code" is
3910

the note code is
3124

Each number is mapped to each digit below

so
3-3
9-1
1-2
0-4

Thus, the correct order is
9130

this is what I implemented, and what I understand

[wooden coral]

[frosty mantle]

That's a completely differeny puzzle

I get it now

[prisma bobcat]

wait.. how were you guys solving the puzzle before ...

[wooden coral]

i played the game for the first time and did NOT thought of that

the order of the paintings

[prisma bobcat]

and how did you guys sometimes manage to get the correct answer ...

[frosty mantle]

It works sometimes

[wooden coral]

[wooden coral]

https://youtu.be/VBvG7zagOPE?si=Bpd13Az_I-CkQevz&t=281

replayed it and im stuck

[prisma bobcat]

Great, I (actually its darkeew that thought of the idea) somehow made a numbers puzzle with an extra solution that sometimes works 💀

[grim fjord]

@frosty mantle How is the program suppose to leave this loop?
There are two options.. the condition is always false or when it's true the game is stuck in infinite loop.

[prisma bobcat]

Its to ensure that the code has 4 unique numbers

[frosty mantle]

3 9 1 0
3 1 2 4

Intended puzzle:
Note represents the order of paintings
9 1 3 0

What we thought it was:
The order represents the order of digits on the paintings
1 3 9 0

[grim fjord]

So the role of generate_codes function is just to create array with 4 different digits?

You can do this in the very simple way.

[frosty mantle]

It actually generates 3 values:

var numbers_schizo := []
var sticky_note_code: String
var safe_code: String

• Random numbers for the paintings
• The order
• The actual code based on those two

[grim fjord]

Why are you keeping order in separated array?

It would be much simpler to just keep code in one array.

[frosty mantle]

I mean, game jam programming

[grim fjord]

I see..
Wanna see how I would implement that during game jam? 😁

[prisma bobcat]

I'm a hobbiest programmer taking a gap year, my first year of CS major starts in a couple months ... so uh don't excect any sane code from me.

[prisma bobcat]

but yes I would love to see that

[frosty mantle]

Added the note for the game page:

Painting puzzle: note represents the order of paintings, not the order of digits on those paintings.

If done properly, that would be quite a clever puzzle, actually.

[grim fjord]

@frosty mantle @prisma bobcat
3 lines solution for generating code with 4 different digits

[prisma bobcat]

Here is the original text description

[grim fjord]

If you have any question feel free to ask

[prisma bobcat]

I think I mis-implemented this

[wraith matrix]

I wonder if I should record some playthroughs myself 🤔

[ripe summit]

honestly.. we should have just hardcoded a single combination.. why did we even do random generated codes its not like our game has replay value..

[frozen heron]

You guys having a retrospective on your jams?

[wraith matrix]

I wanted to randomize the correct crystal and the hide n' seek spots myself, but decided I'd play it safe and just went with static ones instead xd

Maybe I'll add that after the on-stream playthroughs are done

[frozen heron]

Our team is going to continue working on the project to finish it (after game jam winners announced ofc)

Mainly because we have so many assets unused

Our boss, which I modelled and rigged isn't even in the game

[wraith matrix]

It was stressful af, but overall I enjoyed it and would do it again if I had a good game idea. Slightly sad that I lacked some final playtesting to assure quality, I'm sorry to anyone that got well'ed

[wooden coral]

not playing the game til it gets fixed i guess

[frosty mantle]

I mean, it is working fine. The solution is different.

Order of paintings.

[frozen heron]

Glad to see you enjoyed it! As did I

[grim fjord]

Game jams are great way to get some experience in resource management and improve time approximation for finishing tasks.

[wraith matrix]

funny thing is, I had my game idea for months now, but decided against it because I didn't think anyone would play it, including vedal, but when Neuro said "Lost and found" for the game jam theme, I was like "wait... this is my moment... I get to bring my vision to life!"

[frosty mantle]

Alright, back to ratings

[wraith matrix]

I had my full gameplan ready months in advance lmao

[prisma bobcat]

Raise our Karma

[grim fjord]

Wanna rate our game maybe? 👉 👈

[wraith matrix]

I didn't even think I would join until I heard the theme

[ripe summit]

[cursive dawn]

You have unlocked new role

[frozen heron]

It's hard to make estimates without knowing the skill level of your teammates, though

[wraith matrix]

the stars aligned

[grim fjord]

You have unlocked new role

[wraith matrix]

You have unlocked new role

[frozen heron]

I know how long I take to make stuff

[grim fjord]

That's why on the game jams it's the best to start from small idea and just expand it instead trying to make something big from the start.

[frozen heron]

But when a team mate says they can do something in a certain timeframe, you've gotta take them at their word

Especially when you yourself don't know about their field

[wraith matrix]

I usually double the time by the expected value

[ripe summit]

the way game jams work: get an idea-> half the amount of content-> half it again and you might be able to do it

[grim fjord]

Not really.. you gotta multiply that time by 3 and if he/she will deliver faster you have more time to spare on the development.

[wraith matrix]

if someone says "20min" I assume 40min

[frosty mantle]

I am going through the Browser filter rn

[wraith matrix]

maybe even 3x, people tend to overestimate their speed

[grim fjord]

This: #2023-game-jam message
Comment/feedback very appreciated

[frozen heron]

Is this why my team mates were shocked when I finished the model

[wraith matrix]

you get faster over time tho

[grim fjord]

Yes, probably

[wooden coral]

407MB!?

[grim fjord]

From my experience 3x is the best approximation if you have almost zero knowledge about skills of different person.

[wraith matrix]

yeah, I would say 3x is a natual initial expectation when you know nothing

[frozen heron]

The actual GitHub project is like a 120 mb lol

[wraith matrix]

I like to give people some benefit of doubt by expecting 2x, but I recognize the possibility of it taking even longer

[frozen heron]

Also we didn't compress the intro and outro video, with was apparently an extra 70 mb for no reason

[grim fjord]

I can play your game about codes.. which one is it? 😁

[prisma bobcat]

You guys should have a checkpoint system or at least an easy ver. with one because having to re-do the parkour at the start multiple times made me cry

[frosty mantle]

https://cjmaxik.itch.io/lost-her-mind

[hidden herald]

just played the triple aa game, they really did cook. i had no problem with the painting code thing whatsoever

[prisma bobcat]

But then I guess skill issue

[frozen heron]

We thought about it, but decided no way we could implement that in time

[prisma bobcat]

Understandable

I want to see Vedal go through the same pain

[frozen heron]

Lmao

[hidden herald]

100 games to go..

[frozen heron]

Man's on that grind

[brazen marlin]

You got this, I believe!

[cursive dawn]

You have unlocked new role

[frosty mantle]

[frozen heron]

How did I get embed perms anyways

[prisma bobcat]

Good luck, but you gotta rate em all for the sake of our karma

[prisma bobcat]

converse more, I think.

[frozen heron]

Oh

But I lurk

[wraith matrix]

yeah, just post one message like every 3 minutes and you'll eventually rack up points

[frozen heron]

O.O

[wraith matrix]

I recommend #swarm channel, free points

[brazen marlin]

Neat I got embed perms, time to spam pictures and videos :D

[wraith matrix]

just post random stickers, ez embed perm grind

size issues lol but gg

[hidden herald]

ive seen a couple of hidden gems. very creative community

[mystic kindle]

New WR, Harrison Temple Any% 1:31.82

[wraith matrix]

I wish I knew how to art. I'm mostly good at design and presentation

[hidden herald]

1:31, vedal in shambles

[wooden coral]

NOOOOOOOOO

[mystic kindle]

I want to do sub 30

[frozen heron]

It's just dedication

[mystic kindle]

seems possible

[frozen heron]

Put in the hours and you'll get there

[young solar]

Find a style that works for you, it's hard to imitate others, but doing your own thing can be fun

[hidden herald]

my game has a bug after loosing the last fight, which makes it afterwards way easier. Well, it is a feature now I guess

[prisma bobcat]

which is your game

[mystic kindle]

I can improve 2 seconds here

1:28 is possible by human

while tas is 1:29

[wooden coral]

oh whatever ill just use these

[hidden herald]

https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448855
this one. this bug is extra nagging me because i had it FIXED, but it still happens at the last fight apparently

[south swallow]

1:28 is possible by human
while tas is 1:29
???

[young solar]

Btw can we see what our game has been rated before the jam is over?

[frozen heron]

Don't think so

[potent flint]

i think you can't be any faster

[wooden coral]

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwdwQAFbjkn1E46662VPGEg/

Speedrunning channel real

[frozen heron]

That sounds like a challenge

[young solar]

Speedrun our game

[hidden herald]

to get even faster, you have to think outside the box

[frozen heron]

I don't know if I can play it to begin with, linux be like that

[mystic kindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jp2j3Qo9ks

[young solar]

How can human be faster than tas though?

[wooden coral]

@mystic kindle how to use livesplit

[grim fjord]

Someone tell that he can add contributors to project

[frozen heron]

Not fully developed tas?

[ripe summit]

tas just means tool assisted. it doesn't mean perfect

[mystic kindle]

ah

search youtube

[young solar]

Yeah but if a human can do it in 1:28 then surely a tas can do it at least as fast

[mystic kindle]

I see many points that I can be improved

and that's more than 3 seconds

[wraith matrix]

humans can learn new tricks in real time, TAS takes time to create

[mystic kindle]

I can beat the current tas record

[frozen heron]

I don't think a TAS spawns everytime a new game is released

XD

[wraith matrix]

this is why you let a game sit a bit before developing TAS, to make sure the TAS can implement as many new discovered tricks as possible

[young solar]

Of course not, but I'm saying that if you can do it without tas then you'll be able to match it with a tas, even if you can't do it as soon as the game is released

[mystic kindle]

maybe people will figure out some crazy stuff, like you can dupe evil with mirror, and that evil has a very big collision box, by stacking evils to get a speed that's more than fps limit..? idk how unity works

do unity accelerate things like source engine?

[frozen heron]

I don't know anything about TAS but I'm impressed there's already a TAS out lol

[wraith matrix]

usually rapid button mashing, or rapid menuing, creates lots of bugs developers don't see coming, so I'd start from there

[mystic kindle]

hack da game

[young solar]

Tas can be as simple as using tools to pause every frame to get the perfect input

[frozen heron]

Oh, I was thinking about writing a program to play through the game

With frame perfect inputs

[wraith matrix]

TAS can also be a live recording of inputs replayed back

technically

[young solar]

Nah, tas =/= auto playing the game

[mystic kindle]

the current tas is coded, you people can help the Harrison Temple TAS Community by making the game runs slower with mods or ce

[young solar]

TAS just means Tool Assisted Speedrun

[frozen heron]

The More You Know

[frozen heron]

Back to being impressive

[wooden coral]

https://youtu.be/tzG6_DTxIKU

[wraith matrix]

you can also use the prerecorded key inputs and modify them to be even faster

[frozen heron]

Speedrunners fascinate me

[wraith matrix]

as a person that's done speedrunning before, it is certainly one of the activities of all time

[grim fjord]

TAS just means someone used external software/tool that made beating game faster/easier.
For example.. do you know those fancy keyboards with macro keys? You could just program macro to play sequence W/S/A/D in specific order.. even that would already be a "TAS" run.

[frozen heron]

The sheer effort they put is insane

[frosty mantle]

Those are the voices in his head, as always

[wraith matrix]

the longer the run, the more impressive it is, but what fascinates me the most are the TAS-only tricks that are impossible for humans to execute in real time. How do people even discover some of them?

[young solar]

You should check out SummoningSalt on youtube

[frozen heron]

I suppose it should be obvious by the name but the only TAS soeedruns I saw was some hollow knight speed runs

[frozen heron]

Who's they?

[wraith matrix]

speaking of which, AGDQ starts Jan 14

[young solar]

https://youtu.be/mAh4IJysiLU?si=jl44WaQQtBH4mBex

They talk about using TAS in here

Great channel for everything speedrunning

[frozen heron]

I will look at this latter, seems interesting

Anyways, it's bedtime now, gnight I/

[grim fjord]

I suppose it should be obvious by the name
Yeah but in reality you could even call a run tool-assisted even if the physical robot is playing game using gamepad instead human.
Like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNbkv_DJ0f0

[wraith matrix]

That's not a physical robot playing tho, that robot is just for the funny visuals, the button inputs are still played through a program, not a physical controller

[mystic kindle]

what if I use human neurons to play games

[wraith matrix]

still fun tho, I think the robot's name is R.O.B

[mystic kindle]

does it count as tas run

[wraith matrix]

maybe if you identify yourself as a tool

[mystic kindle]

[wooden coral]

[sand island]

heads up i found it lagged a bit in the browser whilst the desktop one held up a lot better at higher scores

[wraith matrix]

If you want a colorful and relaxing experience, you can try out this game:
PS: Don't interact with the well before talking to Anny. In the itchio patch, you'll softlock by doing that
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449468

it's not a web game, but I think you'll enjoy it nonetheless, it's pretty lightweight

[frosty mantle]

Oh, it's time for the legend

[light shore]

Hey guys, I've found a glich with evil in Vedal's game but I'm not good at speedrunning, so I was hoping that someone could maybe find a use for it

Basically, you get stuck inside the totem and go out of bounds with Evil

Not sure if its useful

[hidden herald]

two evil

[wraith matrix]

ah yes, the classic "pressing two buttons on the same frame creating unexpected outcomes" occurrence

not sure of usages, but nice find!

[light shore]

Basically, that's how I found it

[brazen marlin]

It's how much the creator has been playing and rating other people's games

[wooden coral]

okay i beat it

imma record it when im ready

[brazen marlin]

It's so people are motivated to engage in the jam after making the game, since it could increase the likelihood that someone will play and rate your own game

[wooden coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHYeJLfYDL0

imma just put this here

i now have 3 channels

[frosty mantle]

are the games gonna be announced as rate in every category or overall?

It's nice to see people enjoy the game, even if it's a really simple one

oh boi, 620MB downloads, with my interenet speed in the middle of nowhere, hell yeah

[wooden coral]

https://superobot1.itch.io/neuros-lost-and-found-kingdom

this game is actually pretty long

[dense reef]

@mystic kindle @wooden coral how do you do the drone glitch

[wooden coral]

and you have to be smart to like progress throughout the game without dyin

[wooden coral]

i didnt play vedal's game yet

[dense reef]

huh

okay

[ripe summit]

from what i saw its activate the drone and push the pedestal at the same time

[frosty mantle]

And another gem! https://blinkhydrate.itch.io/2d-neuro-wants-3d-cookies

[turbid vault]

Yeah I received so many wholesome comments I was smiling all day

I love how many people like our game, despite the bug where you can kill bosses before dialogue ends. We hope to actually finish the game with the unused stuff added in.

And maybe more stuff

[frosty mantle]

[hidden herald]

well, the sprites look cool

I also used sound effects from your gdrive. Had to clip some myself though

dont apologise to me, i do not care

I have fast internet

yeah i cant play the game

oh I missclied I wanted to respond to the message at the top

[hidden herald]

the 3d cookie game is great

Yeah I delete it immediately after playing a game for that very reason lol

i like keeping my dubious .exe folder

can't play at neuroshock till i get my new gpu, my rx6600 was at 100°C and 100 usage

yea mine went up to 60 or 70 C too in that game

[potent flint]

my gpu is broken so it was to be expected but i think maybe some optimisation would be required

We crossed 1K ratings (in total) fantastic job jammers, keep it up!!

[wooden coral]

This is the first time i binged played a lot of games

Dude i hope youtube gets rid of my daily upload limit restriction

[tidal thunder]

slowly but surely

[austere bridge]

Uhhh, like perma, perma gone? There's 24 cards and iirc they should randomly cycle through on each play. If not then that might be a bug

[wooden coral]

Perma gone like when i collect a chip, restart, the chip is gone

Unless i restart the whole game that is

[austere bridge]

The spawn locations and what chips spawn are random each play

[wooden coral]

But it became lower hmmm maybe ill play again later

[tidal thunder]

It probably depends on the texture count? my 3d games only about 83 mb for the windows build, so it loads pretty quick on browser

[austere bridge]

Just tested it, and at least on the build I have that doesn't seem to be the case? Got the anny card on the 1st and 2nd run, numbers seemed somewhat consistant but that might be something we have to look into

OH THAT ONE

I already played it!!!

[short lion]

Yay

[long anvil]

I need to beat it though....

day 74 was my max

[short lion]

Oh right, I remember your comment!

Feel free to DM me if you get stuck

Also just played this https://lisadikaprio.itch.io/i-will-ruin-my-sisters-whole-career and the arstyle is so good

[long anvil]

I'll try again today and beat vedal!!

preferably in under 50 days

[short lion]

You got this! Vedal will surely finally say it back after you beat him

[cursive berry]

easily my favourite after playing through most of the games, love the sibling rivalry dynamic. also different approach which i havent seen many do. Love allot of the games but this one wins for me ❤️

[short lion]

I don't think it's my favorite gameplay wise but I think it's easily my favorite jam rendition of Neuro & evil so far and overall artstyle which is just so good

The ending image and lil' robots too I love themmmmm

Yep, definitely 12/10 in the art dep

[haughty thunder]

I made the turtle HP too high I think

[frank plover]

For people who did really cute 2D pixel-art type games, what did engine did u use to make your game?

im wanting to make a game like that on my own sometime : 3

[grim fjord]

Engine doesn't matter but I recommend you to try Godot.. it's good engine for 2D pixel art

[frosty mantle]

Godot

[grim fjord]

@frosty mantle First 😁

[frank plover]

ok thanks!

[frosty mantle]

@grim fjord Second

[long anvil]

we used unity but Godot might be the better choice

[uneven bison]

If anyone hasn't played our 3 man game yet take a look: https://sugarph.itch.io/fragment-of-ai

Same, used Unity but mostly due to having experience with it. I want to learn Godot someday too

Yeah us three who made one game are

it would be nice if we have a game-making channel that lasted even after game jam

[short lion]

I remember someone before the jam was like "I don't know if there should be another jam or how good the entries will be" but by now I think it's clear the community absolutely cooked for this one without a shred of doubt

[frosty mantle]

We've surpassed 1K ratings, keep it up!

[frank plover]

ya an a lotta teams are finishing up their games / people want to make more things : ))

very energizing and inspiring

[frosty mantle]

Also remember that you will be able to update your games once the rating period is over!

[cursive berry]

I would love to see another but longer this time. if this is what people can make in 3 days imagine what they could do with a month.

true or even 1-2 week one woudl b fun : )

Design issue: The only way to get a perfect score is by choosing someone at random before they spend anything and lucking out on your guess

Don't think about it

ok im opening up my laptop and seeing if the linux ver can ru on bare minimum arch

[tidal thunder]

I ran native and still had issues, dw about it i might be an outlier here

[soft totem]

here is a "walkthrough" of the tutorial

[stable onyx]

I keep getting spooked by malware warnings when I try to download a lot of these games

[soft totem]

yeah

[short lion]

The crouch jumping is really tough at first to people unfamiliar with the genre but once you get it you get it

[soft totem]

mine is safe though

[soft totem]

yeah

i think i play too many source games

especially tf2 where i always bhop as spy

[sand island]

yeah but i think your crouching works differently

[soft totem]

yeah it moves you down

[tiny laurel]

has anyone beaten this yet? Im struggling with defeating Evil
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2449392

[soft totem]

in source it depends on if you are airbourne

[soft totem]

let me try

[short lion]

I got *defeated fighting some of the cyber slimes after the first robot fight but I want to get back into it

[tiny laurel]

its so hard

[soft totem]

hmm reminds me of something that is made with rpg maker too

https://gamejolt.com/games/fnafbcc/532194

[tiny laurel]

huh

[soft totem]

damm i gotta replay this

[sand island]

yeah and i bewilders me lol

it doesn't work in my head that it lets you do higher jumps that way

[soft totem]

yeah

[tidal thunder]

The video did help, and I gave it the good old college try.

[soft totem]

ok!

[rocky shoal]

found the osu player

[mossy nest]

[long anvil]

@zealous oxide we need to do this

LOL

[stable onyx]

I beat it by using overdrive mode to get the permanent evasion boost to avoid a lot of her multihit attack damage

[tiny laurel]

i was spending a lot of juice on cloak and stuff

[fading mirage]

so my current limit is 1:30.04 but thats mostly to do with input consistency 😛

used python to run it, but ran into issues where if the inputs were too quick they'd get skipped

[zealous oxide]

that is our game's donation thing too

[soft totem]

i think if i will update the game again i will add the option for a speedrun timer

Please play and rate our game

[soft totem]

ah

the neuro nukem

where i hear my pc spin up

as the game is reflections galore

and afaik the only unreal game in the gamejam

[safe zinc]

yeah we realized some of these issues only after the submissions ended. including what led to the massivve file size. our apologies

[soft totem]

haha

also

i think like one quarter of the screen is taken up by the hud

[wraith matrix]

iirc The Ultimate Relic also used unreal engine

[soft totem]

am i seeing this right?

why do i just want to say "skill issue"?

[young solar]

I was just going to look it up but I realised we made the same game

[young solar]

The benefit of making a really simple game I suppose, not many style points but easy to get through

[soft totem]

yeah

[rigid stag]

Do it

[tidal thunder]

sure thing!

I'll also drop mine, its more atmospheric
https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2448599

[zealous oxide]

[soft totem]

[rigid stag]

https://code-mna.itch.io/tutel

[rigid stag]

Yooo ur throwing me under the bus

[soft totem]

alright

[covert badger]

Might as well drop @grim fjord and mine's little game: https://itch.io/jam/neurosama-birthday-game-jam/rate/2444842
Feedback is very much appreciated

[rigid stag]

I'll play urs aswell

[zealous oxide]

i did say id play it when i woke up

[soft totem]

https://seansleblanc.itch.io/better-minimal-webgl-template use this instead of the shitty default webgl templates

[rigid stag]

Does that fix resolution issues?

[soft totem]

wait

[soft totem]

scaling

https://img.itch.zone/aW1hZ2UvMTg3NDE2Lzg3NjczNi5naWY=/347x500/AmACk8.gif

[rigid stag]

That's awesome and really helpful to know thx

[soft totem]

yea

thats what i used for my webgl

but

unity webgl is borked asf for me

how tf do i pass this

@rigid stag

[rigid stag]

1 right, go up then 2 left then up then right

[soft totem]

how tf do i go up

[rigid stag]

jump left and quickly move right

[soft totem]

ah

[rigid stag]

I nerfed that jump it was really hard before

I designed this game to be like gd if you played that, alot of repetition and if u die u start from beginning but it'll approx take 2 mins to finish the game

[soft totem]

mhm

wait

is there more?

[rigid stag]

If you reach neuro

There's a smol bossfight

[soft totem]

ok -_-

[rigid stag]

What's ur game name?

The vedal twitch mishap?

[soft totem]

ye

Vedal's Twitch Mishap

[mystic kindle]

Sick

I'll consider a run once I got time

[rigid stag]

lool i closed tab and then when i reopened i read desc

u called it i tried crouch jumping

[tidal thunder]

I'm gonna need some help on this one chief, There isnt enough ammo to push the blocks out haha

[soft totem]

haha

[zealous oxide]

@covert badger @grim fjord fun game left a comment for you kings nicely done

[safe zinc]

💀

this keeps happening

[rigid stag]

daamn there is a lot of mb

[soft totem]

wait lemme remux it rq

[safe zinc]

I'm just gonna say that blocking the doorway with blocks that need a limited ammo source was not my decision

[zealous oxide]

happened for us as well but the top blocks where slightly pushed in you can just run in and out of it and the blocks will budge

[safe zinc]

yeah in some configurations you can dash into it to push them out of the way

[covert badger]

Hey, thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!

[soft totem]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[potent flint]

Force brut it

[fading mirage]

need to see how low i can get the inputs without them consistently messing up

The alternative being I take the time to do this with UniTAS

[safe zinc]

there was supposed to be way more ammo there btw, but last moment something changed and the ammo spawns under the floor :V

[potent flint]

[zealous oxide]

sorry i mean a comment i sent it to my captain for a review earlier not sure if they did it yet (Australian)

[potent flint]

Btw dice, i have a question, are you using multiple full block to do a room ?

And so are you rendering the face we cannot see ?

[safe zinc]

All I can say is that if you do get past that door, there is at least 2 more levels. so its not like you're gonna do a bunch of effort to get past the bug and then the game just ends anyway

[safe zinc]

idk we're using one of unreals tools to build levels on a grid.

[soft totem]

@rigid stag HELP!

[safe zinc]

but I think backface culling is handled automatically so

[void horizon]

Just bash your head into it, that was an oversight on my part

[potent flint]

I see so forget what i said

[zealous oxide]

why bother limiting ammo men

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/964248092297797683.gif?size=64&name=death&quality=lossless

[safe zinc]

if you're haing performance issues, thats probably related to some other settings we didn't toggle properly which means that raytracing is enabled

[soft totem]

and cubemap reflections

[void horizon]

I was testing stuff, and forgot to unlimit it
