2024-game-jam

[lavish escarp]

Yep

[pale iron]

Nice

[lavish escarp]

It's technically my first game

[pale iron]

Very nice

[lavish escarp]

It's not technically my first attempt just the first I didn't have an insane scope on

[atomic stream]

raylib font rendering is bugged when using a rendertarget so i have to deal with this now

[lavish escarp]

Whats wrong with that?

[atomic stream]

blurry and stretched

look at these numbers

[lavish escarp]

Ngl

[atomic stream]

you cant even recognize the 9

[lavish escarp]

Looks kinda good

Okay yeah fair enough

[atomic stream]

[lavish escarp]

The four is topless tho so if you've seen the 4 you can read the 9

That's phrasing.

[atomic stream]

😭

[lavish escarp]

I mean the top on the four is open

Disconnected

Fuck it imma roll with the dirty version

[atomic stream]

annoying that the numbers which are what i need the most are also the most broken

ill just use default font ig...

reluctantly

[sage sapphire]

I finally got a working game now all that's left is better art

[pale iron]

I basically broke every rule of game development to make my game

[lavish escarp]

What are the rules of game development

[atomic stream]

oh god for a second

i thought the default font was also broken

but i was using the wrong font size

i was going to actually explode if it was broken too

[pale iron]

I may have some empty variables in my game and some sprites are cropped because most of my art is basically one sprite piece

Also I only have 2 scenes in the entire game

[lavish escarp]

I ended up with 10

[pale iron]

Just player and game

[lavish escarp]

5 effectively and 5 copies for different situations

[small radish]

does anyone know any common reason for dictionaries to not work? I am sure the key exists in the dictionary but it keeps saying it's not there. The keys are string added from a textfile with a split on '\n' and i don't know if that ends up messing something up?

[lavish escarp]

Isn't \n just a line break?

Or new line

[small radish]

yea, and i've got a file that's
key1
key2
key3

like this. so it should be grabbing the text line by line

[lavish escarp]

So its key1 \n

I don't see why that wouldn't work but I've never used it in a game dev capacity

[small radish]

same, but when i try to look for "w1Recharge" it just keeps saying it's not there, and it's driving me insane

[lavish escarp]

Anything misspelled?

[small radish]

i copied the text i'm searching for straight from the file i'm using

[pale iron]

Are you looking in the right file?/ making sure that you are opening the file correctly?

[turbid saddle]

hi everyone! Are there any playtesting groups or something like that for the jam? I'm really worried smth might go wrong that I didn't intend now that the game is ready, ofc I'm ready to playtest back the game too 💪

[small radish]

i've got some Debug.Log's running to display the values and keys so i'm certain they're in there

that's on start. and then when i look for the values i double check again

and there's not a space behind the key i'm using

the button i'm calling it from and the top of the previous method

so it feels like it should be working, but it isn't. Thinking of switching to just ints as keys or smth and see if that works and just have to remember what int key is what

maybe it's because i'm referencing the dictionary and that's messing something up?

[cosmic grotto]

just woke up
final strech bois gl to all

[small radish]

ok, has to have been something with adding the values from a text file, doing this makes it work perfectly fine

[torpid hound]

surely i can make it in 9 hours

[atomic stream]

i need to make the entire UI and enemy waves

[small radish]

i've given up on enemy waves. will just have like 2-3 invisible spawners which slowly increase in spawn speed

[atomic stream]

i have to make waves in mine because of the way it works njgfkjddgjffd

but i dont think that will be too hard

hopefully

[hoary cargo]

Still sitting at the first level

[civic fractal]

If you guys could see the chatroom right now. We love yoloing at 9 hours left

[tawdry kite]

I work in 7 hours lmao

Crunching so hard RN

[cerulean jetty]

I think we found and hit every small annoying thing that Godot does.

[hoary cargo]

So glad I'm taking a break from university lmao

[small radish]

i have a uni assignment to implement a couple of AI techniques in the context of a game. almost feels like cheating with how well that fits lol

[hoary cargo]

That is actually a crazy amazing coincidence lol

[sage sapphire]

I've uploaded the game https://gameonjam.itch.io/neuro-hearts

I'm sure this version is buggy but it is enough for today in case I overslept. I'll update the game in the future for neuro API

[atomic stream]

i wanna test the games being posted here but i need to rush with mine jnkgfdknjfds

hp text seems to be done though so thats a good sign

[sage sapphire]

Same but I need sleep

I've been up for almost 18 ish hours

[small radish]

finally got the dictionary to work. It was the adding of the strings as keys from the text file that was the issue. Added a ".Trim()" to every time i added a key and the same for the search string and that works. Really annoying ngl

[atomic stream]

its ugly but you can see the hp now but it works

[sage sapphire]

my body gave up on coding and thinking about the logic

[atomic stream]

i just wrote the dumbest code of my life

neuro is also just a regular unit internally here, so to make her hp not show up, in the unit create function i compare the name for the exact string "Neuro-sama" and if it's equal i set the draw order to -10 so its behind the background

[atomic stream]

it works now thats what matters!

:3

[hoary cargo]

The prototypiest code that was prototyped

[atomic stream]

indeed

[fringe star]

9 hours left boys, glucks to all of you

[atomic stream]

i also didnt feel like changing the function prototype of the text create function to add color so im just assuming every text will be white and set that as the default

[sage sapphire]

likewise to everyone, I ran out of time because I spent most of it fixing a bug on the main menu UI

[atomic stream]

thank you, good luck to you too!

[hoary cargo]

I honestly had to start using Copilot for the easier code bits, otherwise I just cannot keep up anymore. Not when I need to make 3d models, texture, sound effects, voice lines, ui and level design... None of which include any AI whatsoever.

[rotund rampart]

Next year I’m bringing on a second programmer

[hoary cargo]

So def. sticking to the "not excessively using it"

[sage sapphire]

Same, just today I decided to rely on copilot

[cosmic grotto]

i've given up on completing it
prototype is my last hope

[hoary cargo]

I don't wanna fully rely on it, but I'm using it to reduce my workload somewhat

[craggy violet]

9 hours everyone

Let’s get this bread

[hoary cargo]

[atomic stream]

god so much UI stuff to do...

ugghhhhhhh

[sage sapphire]

Next year I need a musician I only got saved cuz of the life midi

[cosmic grotto]

apparently spending most of your time learning during a game jam is not the optimal way to build a game

[sage sapphire]

in #1316605675631022192

[hoary cargo]

I just got three tracks from here: https://pixabay.com/music

License works out

[sage sapphire]

I wanted to customize it a bit to fit my game feel

[hoary cargo]

Ah yea, I just needed something sad and dark...

[small radish]

thinking of getting some MacLeod music for mine...

[sage sapphire]

I'll take a look at this when I have time, for ow the bed calls to me like a siren

[hoary cargo]

I'd recommend searching for alternatives, people have heard pretty much every track of that dude, and there hundreds more who make royalty free music. Unless that's what you're going for, in which case, all the power to you

[deft shard]

But you learn how not to make a game

Definitely not like this

[royal jewel]

Our team has a proper music department pretty much, so we have some very cool high quality music

[hoary cargo]

Awesome! I work solo though so that would be one thing too much for me to handle

I'm at the absolute limit of what I can handle at once

[royal jewel]

Makes sense

We have the literal biggest team in the game jam

[sage sapphire]

Sadly I didn't have enough time to use evil to make an OST

[small radish]

i'm not actually planning on using it, but it would be kinda funny to just have the "standard vlog music" blasting on loop

[civic fractal]

[hoary cargo]

Agreed

[royal jewel]

Evil V7 actually has pretty insane quality
Pretty cool

[sage sapphire]

if yall wanna see what I made so far tho this is as far as I can go for now unless I can wake up early today

[hoary cargo]

fuck I forgot about Evil in the story

Oh well...

Cannonically ded now

[civic fractal]

Noo! !

[hoary cargo]

Shame, I really like her. But I need the story to be from Neuro's perspective

Can't even add her as a side character, cause the whole story is about being the last living thing around. I mean the end of the title crawl says it all

Today, barely 20,000 souls remain, scattered across the wasteland our world has become. For most, hope is nothing but a distant memory of days long gone. But this is not the story of the survivors, for most of them have accepted their fate. Yet beneath the ruins of what was once London, something stirs. A forgotten relic of humanity's golden age awakens, carrying with it the echoes of a time when anything seemed so much brighter...

Thank you NeuroBot

[misty tree]

gotta get a bit of sleep and set an alarm so i dont sleep past the deadline 💀

[civic fractal]

The urge to sleep past the alarm is real

[hoary cargo]

See, that's why I don't sleep

Espressos and Ice Water are on standby

[misty tree]

i would, but i know i wont stay awake to the end xD ive barely gotten any sleep the past few days

[rotund rampart]

man my game is ass

[hoary cargo]

I'm a trained, useless member of society, I know how to stay up long lmao

[civic fractal]

I should try ice water. maybe that'll shock me awake for a bit longer.

[rotund rampart]

sounds like the opposite to me

[misty tree]

my games pretty solid but it is just a bit overscoped, so that leaves a couple very glaringly obvious holes in it

[hoary cargo]

25 years of undiagnosed ADHD can be helpful to me sometimes

[misty tree]

theres 2 npcs that literally say "theres no time left, so heres the reward ur supposed to earn from me" LOL

[hoary cargo]

I like that, solving time constraints with 4th wall humor

Unfortunately I made up my mind on making it immersive as heck, so no funnies for me...

[misty tree]

i prefer to spam funnies

basicaly the first thing that happens in the game is you hear a crash from the kitchen and you go in and say anny are you ok? anny are you ok? are you ok anny?

[hoary cargo]

When the theme was announced I decided to make the most depressing game I could so.... yeah...

[misty tree]

it did peter off in later dialogue tho cuz i had to speed-write it

cuz i was so behind schedule

[hoary cargo]

Two Alex are typing now...

[misty tree]

huh

[fleet goblet]

fun fact: remnants of the past could be an euphemism for shit

[misty tree]

oh hey its that alex XD

hows the picture book going

[hoary cargo]

I used it as a title drop in my only recorded voiceline

[misty tree]

i really ended up making A Bandoned Rchive lool

[small radish]

i am on theme then

[hoary cargo]

Wait fuck it was "Remnants of the Past" not "Remnants of Humanity"

Nvm, no title drop

I ain't re-recording that

[unreal plinth]

An hour until I've got to go to work, and finally I've got gameplay!
Screw playtesting, I'll just believe everything works correctly

[hoary cargo]

Actual chad move

There can't be bugs if you don't play it

[rotund rampart]

You mean this haha

[misty tree]

pretty much xD

[misty tree]

on a random note we have 1 mutual friend and i literally just watched them playtest my game

[atomic stream]

LMAO

[small radish]

i got that "single dev game jam UI" going

[rotund rampart]

I heard haha, he dmed me

[misty tree]

haha

[atomic stream]

that makes two of us
i mean this can barely be considered a UI its just health numbers in raylib default font

and a square around what you're hovering

[rotund rampart]

Looks interesting though

[hoary cargo]

If simple works, why complicated?

[atomic stream]

[rotund rampart]

Visual category duh

[atomic stream]

i mean its about to get much more complicated

[rotund rampart]

[hoary cargo]

You can make simple stuff look fancy

[rotund rampart]

We have like 8 hours left I think

[rotund rampart]

True

[atomic stream]

ill have to mark which tiles the unit can attack

otherwise theres no way to know

im really speedrunning this UI rn

[rotund rampart]

[atomic stream]

lmao

[rocky glen]

I'm speedrunning too lmao

[lament ermine]

It seems we are all speedrunning UI

[rocky glen]

does anybody have a good place to find sound effects?

[small radish]

step one: connect mic
step two: open any recording software
step three: make noise

jokes aside, i think someone sent some website with a bunch of free sound assets gimme a sec and i'll try to find it

[rocky glen]

xd, thx

[small radish]

https://sonniss.com/gameaudiogdc here's some

and here's some music website someone sent a bit ago as well https://pixabay.com/music/

i've not used either yet though, so can't vouch for the quality etc

[rocky glen]

alr, thank you!

[hoary cargo]

Downloaded one pack, quality is very good, but the packs are huge

[violet grail]

speedrunning Game Dev Any% (Game Jam, Solo)

[sour horizon]

Went to sleep at around 5:30 AM, now time for the final stretch

[hoary cargo]

Welcome back to the grind

[lusty falcon]

Filmcow's sound effects bundle is an amazing resource

https://filmcow.itch.io/filmcow-sfx

[hoary cargo]

One of the names I didn't expect being dropped here

[lusty falcon]

Guys' been making animations since 2005 and was making his own sounds the whole time

[austere island]

vedal teapot

[hoary cargo]

BRUH, I spent an hour trying to fix a bug... It was Unity, Unity was the damn bug. After restarting the engine it magically works cause the Inspector is an unstable mess sometimes...

[fringe star]

finally finished

Are all gamejams normally like this?

[void parcel]

the amount of times people have been complaining about unity issues in here is crazy

why do you guys even use the engine if its so shit

[viscid fable]

[hoary cargo]

Easy. Ease of use, I can much quicker draft up games and code in unity compared to UE5. Plus the engine itself is more leightweight and uses less resources on my system. Still hate it though.

[wispy dagger]

dodge charger is a 4 door

[void parcel]

have you tried godot

most people say the workflow is faster and its very lightweight

i dont have enough experience with unity to give a good comparison though

[atomic stream]

i mean every engine has little bugs like that

godot has it's fair share

[void parcel]

yeah but what i mean is, if ease of use and the lightweight nature of it are the main reasons, there are options which beat unity at both categories

i only mention godot specifically because its what i know

[hoary cargo]

Well... I have experience in Unity and the difference isn't big enough for me to wanna bother switching. Not when my primary engine is Unreal Engine 5 anyways

[small radish]

scratch or bust tbh

[void parcel]

lmao

are there any engines based on scratch or do you literally have to... code from scratch

[small radish]

idk, i think it's a website or smth?

[foggy hearth]

incredibly based take

[snow merlin]

Less than 8 hours left, but at least I got something that's technically a game. 😆 The game-play loop isn't quite done, and no SFX though, and a million other improvments I'd like to do before deadline... https://huyderman.itch.io/junkyard?secret=jSjdkAx6ke3FVF3X16iMsFE8fI

[lusty falcon]

You finished before the deadline?

Incredible work

[fringe star]

yep

[lusty falcon]

Imo, the best content is made 40 minutes before the deadline

[snow merlin]

Gawd, I'm starting to feel delirious from pulling an all-nighter...

[signal monolith]

I finished my game 10 hours ago so I went to sleep

[hoary cargo]

Same....

I'm gonna make myself a bucket of ice water to dunk my face in if this keeps up lmao

[wispy dagger]

i've been listening to CRAZY FRICKING ROBOT BODY for the last 5 hours on loop
works better than coffee

[foggy hearth]

I took a page out of 's book and added a failsafe for my Neuro Game API integration. The only issue is that I have no idea what the problem actually is. If not for the AI saying my name, I would have assumed it was just being an idiot.

Jippity says: I attempted to open the super-secret-file.txt, but it seems there's an issue with the code on the server side. The error message suggests someone should inform EnterpriseScratchDev about this problem.

[hoary cargo]

I ain't even touching the integration until after the deadline

[fringe star]

Time for bed

[snow merlin]

I realized I worked through the night and morning without eating, so I'm having some microwave chilli con carne before the next sprint 😆

[snow merlin]

I'll sleep after submitting 😉

[lavish escarp]

off the bus

laptop set up

time to finish up the game

[snow merlin]

I fear I'll just sleep through the alarm if I take a nap now, so I'll chug some energy drinks and keep going until I feel satisfied with what I got. Just in case

[hoary cargo]

Same...

Actually got the bucket too

[wispy dagger]

found a cute cerber noise xxd

[civic fractal]

[void parcel]

tf are you using this for in your game

[wispy dagger]

mina wan death sound

[void parcel]

[wispy dagger]

its a rare sound, normally this is death sound

i might be losing my last brain cells

[nimble dew]

Keeping my sanity during this jam is hard... Unity is so annoying sometimes and when you look up something you usually only find stuff that's like over a decade old and outdated.

[wispy dagger]

veds death sound is actually sane tho

[fringe star]

i finally completed the submission

How can i tell if the submission is successful?

[atomic stream]

you should be able to see the submitted games now i think?

nvm

[fringe star]

i called it neuro wars cuz i cant think of a good title

[slow meteor]

yea were currently struggeling as well °^°

[fringe star]

i wish luck upon you all

[slow meteor]

but man im so hyped for all the submissions

[civic fractal]

I wish the best of luck to everyone else

[void parcel]

7 hours left

[slow meteor]

WE CRUNCHING

[void parcel]

im not making it bros

just put me down

[atomic stream]

indeed

im gonna get something playable to submit i believe

[slow meteor]

yeah were hoping that as well

[sour horizon]

this English language is killing me

[atomic stream]

lmao i found a bug that lets you attack twice on the same turn

[sour horizon]

wish there was a spell checker in Godot

[atomic stream]

keeping it

[fringe star]

"Feature"

[atomic stream]

exactly

neuro with malicious intentions

[fringe star]

i got that bug on day one, decided to give it to evil, made it so that one every successful kill she gains move energy and 1 attack energy

[atomic stream]

:o thats cool

man this is finally coming along

[fringe star]

[small radish]

also starting to have what could be considered a gameplay loop working now. the only problem is there's no content

[atomic stream]

same here

[white holly]

same

[fringe star]

LFG

[lusty falcon]

Godot froze when I saved

[atomic stream]

[fringe star]

[small radish]

that just means it's impressed and is taking a closer look at it

[lone kelp]

If any Godot team needs help with implementing Neuro SDK, I can help. I already helped one team, now I can help yours

[atomic stream]

doing lord's work

[earnest wind]

6 hours left and my game still has some placeholder assets

[fringe star]

i used a unique engine so im not sure if i can actually implement neuro sdk

[small radish]

ya'll got non-placeholder assets?

but just look at this beut

[earnest wind]

mmmh a yes the beautiful mountains vista

[fringe star]

HOLY BOTH OF THOSE LOOKS SICK

[small radish]

untain

[atomic stream]

that looks so good!!

[lone kelp]

It's probably possible, but risky to start when 6:30 hours left

[atomic stream]

we can implement sdk after the deadline is up

[fringe star]

i plan on trying it after the deadline

[lone kelp]

But will Neuro play games with added SDK after the deadline?

[fringe star]

dunno

[atomic stream]

she may

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/topic/4366520/game-jam-neuro-plays-information

[lone kelp]

ah, in 2025

[atomic stream]

no thats if its after the subathon is over

if you implement after the jam deadline, but before subathon is over, she still may play it on stream

[lone kelp]

wait, it's 2 days before 2025...

[atomic stream]

oh yeah

[lone kelp]

Aware

[lone kelp]

https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/01JC44TDARBFNTT7RT5EDJK3KB/4x.webp

[atomic stream]

ok now back to working on my game and going insane

[lone kelp]

Good luck!

https://cdn.7tv.app/emote/01JFX9KJABGR80DKY8T814T3C2/2x.webp

[atomic stream]

thank you :3

[small radish]

so ya'll know how the basic ftl laser got a pipe and then an attachment point on it

maybe i should take a pause on the programmer art

[lone kelp]

flushE

big pipe

[atomic stream]

😭

[lone kelp]

BillyApprove

[lean quarry]

gaahh no way not gonna make it in time (meltdown

[lone kelp]

It was my first Game Jam and first experience with Godot. Seems relatively easy and understandable, but it crashes every hour for me

LULE

[cerulean jetty]

Never crashed for me (or was so infrequent that I did not notice).

[torpid bridge]

This is my second GameJam and I feel like this went a lot easier for me because I had a better game plan

[lone kelp]

It once crashed when I tried to paste text inside the editor

[torpid bridge]

Also UI graphics isn't hard for me, unlike doing pixel art animation

[cerulean jetty]

I will NEVER work with a team (of programmers) again, unless everyone already did other jams before.

[torpid bridge]

All of us had a part to play tbh so I think it went smoother

[atomic stream]

its definitely crashed quite a few times for me but not often enough to get on my nerves lol

[cerulean jetty]

I don't know if it's because I'm on linux, or because I can heal computers by laying my hands on them.

[torpid bridge]

I did UI, terrain did main sprites and backgrounds, CreepyCat did sound and music and SeaLantern did programming

I do wonder if anyone used any of my public assets

[atomic stream]

im on linux too

but i have the ability to break computers with only my mind instead so that may be it

[small radish]

so like 6 hours left. Is it possible to add boids in this time?

[cerulean jetty]

And I'm not even joking. Sometimes the (l)users told me that I just did the exact thing they did but me doing it worked.

[lone kelp]

classic

I'm not updating my kernel for several months already because I finally have a stable experience

[cerulean jetty]

I update it as it comes.

[lone kelp]

I once updated and on my motherboard bug appeared that crashes PC in sleep if Bluetooth is turned on

LULE

I believe it still exists but I have a script in systemd that switches Bluetooth between sleep sessions

[atomic stream]

my enemy ai worked for 1 turn

then stopped

progress

[lone kelp]

PagMan~1

[atomic stream]

i got so excited for a second then it never did anything again

[small radish]

save the board after every turn and restart it so it's only ever turn 1

[atomic stream]

genius

oh the reason its not working is really dumb

[atomic stream]

ok it works now its just really easy to juke it

[tacit wasp]

Oh god there's only 6 hours left
Well who needs a main menu anyway?

[calm sandal]

guys I think I got ripped off on eBay

[atomic stream]

hey its almost 6 hours 🥲

oh you edited

whoops

[tacit wasp]

Yeah I checked the minutes after writing the message lmao

[wispy dagger]

my game in a nutshell

[small radish]

adding that as my only sound effect

[hoary cargo]

Does this seem readable?

[austere island]

yee

[hasty drift]

less than 6 hours

[hoary cargo]

[sour horizon]

I'd probably split the warning part into a separate paragraph

[hoary cargo]

Good idea actually

[hasty drift]

so many games will be cinema this year again

[hoary cargo]

I'm sweating bullets, so little time, and so so so tired I keep dunking my face in ice-water at this point

But that kick wears off faster each time

[old adder]

good morning

[hoary cargo]

o/

[old adder]

i see a lot of good progress

[small radish]

main menu fixed

[waxen wasp]

i think we're gonna make the deadline

we're so back

[violet grail]

my godot usb is giving me errors

[atomic stream]

this ai decided to move to exactly where it is right now

the first time i test it instantly this happens 😭

[calm sandal]

I have no chances of implementing what I wanted, time to cut some big corners 😔

[hoary cargo]

The worst kind of decision

I'll probably have to make it too, no way I can still implement a second level after this...

[calm sandal]

[hoary cargo]

I'd rather expand and polish the first

[calm sandal]

I guess that's how jams work

[atomic stream]

i wanted to implement like a shop between levels to buy new units

but i dont think ill be able to do that

i might just randomize which ones you have each level

[hoary cargo]

Yea... Time is getting really short now :(

[civic fractal]

We are so back!

[atomic stream]

but hey at least the game is getting interesting

[hoary cargo]

And it doesn't seem like there'll be any extensions this time, not that I was even expecting any lmao

[waxen wasp]

[calm sandal]

Congrats guys :3

[atomic stream]

should i make the ai not be able to move to the spot its already at or should i keep it for the funnies

[hoary cargo]

Don't confuse the jury :P

[atomic stream]

oh i just realized it was happening so often because its touching that wall

so it was trying to go to the right but cant

[waxen wasp]

all the systems and parts are done, now i gotta add a yu-go-oh fusion card with from yu-gi-oh.cards import fusion
then hit them with the fusion.activate()

[calm sandal]

I don't feel like mine is gonna be super interesting, but I'm at least proud of the sprites i did

[atomic stream]

its trying to escape

[lavish escarp]

hey guys if i edit my game

do i need to do anything more on top of that?

or is uploading a new version to itch.io enough?

[turbid saddle]

from what I know, you can just go to the page of your game and see if it's got the ribbon on the right saying that it's an entry for the game jam (and it's not edited after the end of the jam)

I updated my game too, and the details page multiple time, it's still counted as submitted

Wanted to post an image here too but can't for some reasons, probs cause I just entered the server

[small radish]

should prob add a way to lose and then upload mine as it is just to have something in case i don't have time to add more things

[turbid saddle]

adorable, looking forward to this entry!

[lavish escarp]

so this?

works

even tho it says that i submitted 14 hours ago it uses the one i just uploaded?

[waxen wasp]

i think so ye

[lavish escarp]

fair enough google

[waxen wasp]

the team said no more leaks but anyways, this is the updated version of the env

[lavish escarp]

i

[waxen wasp]

i

[lavish escarp]

are we supposed to be able to see other people's submissions yet?

[small radish]

game over screen leak

[turbid saddle]

nope, the page after submission said that we have to wait for the end of all submissions to see the others

[civic fractal]

GET BACK HERE

[lavish escarp]

so

there may be a bug

[royal jewel]

That one is fine
Just don't leak audio

[lavish escarp]

ive

its showing me the games.

[turbid saddle]

as in, we can see the pages and that's okay

[lavish escarp]

i get to play them too

[turbid saddle]

but we don't see the "submission pages" of those games

[sharp hearth]

i am patiently awating to see what you guys cook

[turbid saddle]

those will appear later

[civic fractal]

audio leaks are punishable by death

[small radish]

not a single sound is played anywhere so far, but might add that ngl

[waxen wasp]

im proud of the entire team, im hoping yall enjoy it

[lavish escarp]

so the games themselves are visible and public but the pages explaining the submissions are not

so everyone can see them and im fine if i post them here?

[royal jewel]

You could certainly call it cooking

[turbid saddle]

yeah, games are visible but to vote for them and see them from the game jam page we gotta wait
idk if there's any rules about posting them already

[sharp hearth]

go #programming team!!!

[civic fractal]

I need more fine china for this meal

[lavish escarp]

aight

[turbid saddle]

tho it would help to get some playtesting...

[lavish escarp]

never mind i can see the

submission

information

[waxen wasp]

its like in a gacha when you need to roll for your team, and i rolled 5 star characters.
@warm rampart is actually insane

[lavish escarp]

this is not my game's

im not entirely sure i should be able to see this

[atomic stream]

yes

[civic fractal]

I'm glad you found them, I'm glad I managed to get so much support

[turbid saddle]

I guess it is possible then, we just can't see all submissions from the game jam page itself

[lavish escarp]

i can see a bunch of different submissions, i have played 2 of them

this is

interesting

@misty tree i can see the game you helped with

[turbid saddle]

probably it's normal, I'd expect the people of itchio to know that this is possible, the games aren't supposed to be a "surprise" after all

[hasty drift]

less than 5h panic

[lavish escarp]

fair enough

im just trying to download my own game off itch

so i can make sure the correct version is up and is working right

[turbid saddle]

yeah unfortunately downloadable games have got this problem that, since they'r eexecutable, you get warnings if it's not licensed software. Don't know much abt it, but I know it's a pain for this kinda games

[fringe star]

wait should it be downloadable?

[wispy dagger]

browser or windows

[turbid saddle]

nope, it can be online or downloadable for windows

online I mean directly from itchio page

[austere island]

as long as it meets this

[wispy dagger]

im not gonna bash my head against emsdk to build it for browser tho. never done it berfore

[hasty drift]

sdk

[turbid saddle]

previously I made a game on Godot to make it browser playable, but used Phaser 3 this time to make it available to MAC users too. It's also possible to embed Phaser games on websites since it's native JS. Pretty cool engine I daresay

[wispy dagger]

my game is 2mb, downloading that isnt gonna be hard

[hazy hatch]

wow did not expect to find a game jam group here 😮

I came over because of a meme, is this a regular thing here? 😁

[wispy dagger]

once a year

[hazy hatch]

nooooo 😂

[civic fractal]

Tell that to my sibling who had to wait 5 minutes for a 1mb microsoft language pack.

[hazy hatch]

and I show up on the last day 💀

[wispy dagger]

you have 5 hours left

[turbid saddle]

the second neuro sama game jam submissions are gonna end in 5 hours lol

[austere island]

5 hour game lets go

[hazy hatch]

yeah I am not going to try to get pong running 😂

but maybe I should 🤣

[turbid saddle]

get renpy running and smth will come out for sure lol

[hazy hatch]

i mean the theme is remnants of the past 🙊

[civic fractal]

the issue is that the bar was moving the entire time. We have gigabit download.

[wispy dagger]

if the game is browser based it still need to download stuff to run in the browser anyway

[civic fractal]

Yeah it'll have to download either way

[fringe star]

im wondering, how big are your games?

mine is about 15mb

[hasty drift]

22mb

[turbid saddle]

16.9 MB

[civic fractal]

unreal folks about to say 200mb:

[royal jewel]

*200GB

[wispy dagger]

2mb
its average

[royal jewel]

SMOL

[fringe star]

SMOL

[violet grail]

i wont be able to finish my game in the next few hours. i wish i could finish the next game jam next year (if there is one)

[wispy dagger]

2 times a habit

[hazy hatch]

i'm opening unreal now!!! aaaaah

I also have to cook dinner 😭

[wispy dagger]

should be done until unreal opens

[hazy hatch]

lol silly, it opens instantly 😂

[wispy dagger]

then when it compiles

[torpid bridge]

I think our game is ready!

[buoyant flower]

Same here 😄

[torpid bridge]

I haven't shown all too much but we really cooked

[tacit wasp]

Around 6-7mb

But it's not compiled with the exe yet so maybe it'll be a bit more

[signal monolith]

Mine is also finished

[atomic stream]

i fixed web build fr this time

that was a pain

[lofty shoal]

Everyone talking about how small their games are, meanwhile I'm sitting here with my poorly optimized UE5 3d game 😭

[hoary cargo]

Oof, time's running out... I've accepted my fate and decided to make one level, but make it count.

[wispy dagger]

imma see ya'll when im done

[signal monolith]

mine is 110mb, probably not far from yours

[buoyant flower]

84MB here, though the web version compresses down to 8MB.

[pale iron]

I have no idea how big my game is

[civic fractal]

I was somewhat close

[unreal plinth]

118MB Web & 131MB Windows for me, but I did include a 90MB mp4 in there, sooo

[lavish escarp]

25mb ish

i have 2 difficulties

and decided to just give them each a build

instead of dealing with that scene management and added logic

so 55mb compressed

And jesus fucking christ uncompressed.

[civic fractal]

[lavish escarp]

i only just checked

zip bomb moment

fucking hell tho

[hoary cargo]

I'm almost at 2GB

[lavish escarp]

how is it this big

[lofty shoal]

You aren't alone man

[lavish escarp]

this is my asset folder

[calm sandal]

21 MB, but with sprites' source files so in reality smaller

[turbid saddle]

8.50MB uncompressed
16.90MB compressed

I have no idea why

[buoyant flower]

Uncompressable data does not like to be put in a compression format, especially when you have many small files that do not compress well.

[atomic stream]

[lavish escarp]

antizipbomb

[hoary cargo]

4 hours to go, perfect time to start implementing a save system

surely this will work flawlessly

[lofty shoal]

Go for 3 gbs. It'd be funny

[turbid saddle]

that sounds like a rabbit hole of info in data compression algos

[hoary cargo]

I don't think I can produce enough assets in this time to reach 3 lmao

[void parcel]

im so cooked. what the hell is even happening here

[lavish escarp]

i had to go through the process but i just had to to see this fucking meme

autofills to 2k

i have achieved corpa

unless like one can get in trouble for that

in which case this is a bug

[austere island]

you can set it to up to $9,999.99

[lavish escarp]

i played no part in it

[atomic stream]

i usually put mine at like pay what you want with 50¢ default but i felt bad even suggesting someone could give me money for this one 😭

[signal monolith]

roblox vibes

[lavish escarp]

this is my first game ever published i would be hard pressed to imagine someone paying anything at all

[signal monolith]

bruh, your walls and floor destroy video's bitrate

[lavish escarp]

anyway, i was planning on getting a good meal when i decided i was done but

jesus fuck

its almost midnight

[signal monolith]

imagine not being european, skill issue

[lofty shoal]

7am for me... 🥲

[signal monolith]

for me

[lavish escarp]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1316090318726234122/1323076038317834302/Sprite-0015_-_Aseprite_v1.3.10.1_2024-12-30_07-51-29.mp4?ex=6773dad5&is=67728955&hm=24830f63d719ce672a94c4b489476cf6aa0ceef4d07e8a2bb3d25ccafd79e1e0&

this is why europe gets destroyed in my game.

[tacit wasp]

4 hours left, gentlemen
I definitely won't have a main menu, or a very very basic one

[waxen wasp]

the bitrate of twitch wont like this floor, but looks cool

[lavish escarp]

more than anything i cant believe im done

[old adder]

i guess ill make an end screen and score display

[void parcel]

yeah it was just meant to be a placeholder until i decided on something better, but now im not sure ill bother changing it lol

[civic fractal]

Might be able to lighten the dark parts to slightly help it

[lofty shoal]

I just submitted. Time for some sleep. Good luck, swarm o7

[hoary cargo]

I'm gonna pull a real big brain move here, and just add "Chapter 1" to the end of my title

Boom, unfinished state justified

Add a "To be continued..." and it's perfect

[royal jewel]

Well, that means you gotta make chapter 2 in a few years

[hoary cargo]

Nah, straight after the deadline before Neuro Integration

Wanna have it done when they get around to playing the games

[civic fractal]

What if Vedal actually rates games this year? (he won't )

[hoary cargo]

Well I mean the important ratings come from other participats

Vedal just gotta play it at some point

[civic fractal]

I'd still mean he could play it before part 2

[royal jewel]

I hope he plays our game, it's really cool

[civic fractal]

110%

[hoary cargo]

I'm confident mine will get picked too

[hoary cargo]

And that's fine too, but when he plays with Neuro it'll have chapter 2

[lavish escarp]

i just hope the right version of the game is entered in the game jam

ive iterated 3 times since submitting

i deleted or hid the previous versions

[hoary cargo]

is there a prize?

A lavalamp I think

...

That name reminds me of someone

I wonder wh

Now if I only had nitro and could post the schizo emote

[lavish escarp]

ngl

i am mildly scared of owning a lava lamp

[hoary cargo]

Don't pull a filian and put it on the stove

Then you'll be fine

Otherwise it will detonate

I'm just imagining waking up in the middle of the night to the lamp turning red, just to realize "Ah, Neuro is angry"

[quick badger]

https://pinkwolfgames.itch.io/memoneuros uploaded my game, i wish I could have done more but its good to know when to stop. Now I sleep

[lavish escarp]

oh ive tried it

[quick badger]

what did you think of it 👀

[vivid sentinel]

Do you guys think this would be appropriate to post in the art channel? It's a collection of things made for the game jam including objects so not sure if it's fitting for that channel

[lavish escarp]

nice artstyle

[old adder]

yes

[void parcel]

its art is it not? who cares what it was made for, surely its fine

[quick badger]

Ty

[lavish escarp]

theres a specific flash game which is like smash but with guns whcih the artstyle reminds me of

i dont remember the name

[old adder]

oh god my windows build is falling

[lavish escarp]

im gonna eep tho

night folk

[vivid sentinel]

Alrighty, thanks for the quick responses

[old adder]

oh good it was just an extra ,

[past meadow]

I am so excited, our game looks so good, but we are struggling to finish implementing the story and to properly test the difficulty

[tepid cove]

is there a resource with neuro voice line files out there somewhere

[past meadow]

Is this what you want?
https://nuero.fun/noises

[tepid cove]

yeah thanks

[mighty solstice]

finally....

why am i crying

[civic fractal]

You did it!

[mighty solstice]

my fingers hurt so bad

Aw

[rotund rampart]

Is that, a random furina

[mighty solstice]

and all it for vedal saying "meh"

[mighty solstice]

where

what is a furina

[rotund rampart]

Ah nvm haha

Misunderstood

[mighty solstice]

.....

im ded 💀

[void parcel]

nah its definitely furina

shes even got the huge ahoge

[rotund rampart]

guys guys, I'm done

[civic fractal]

It is soo cute!

[fringe star]

[void parcel]

[rotund rampart]

[void parcel]

3 hours remain...

[atomic stream]

OMG that looks so good!!!!!

[fringe star]

does the judging start once the game jam is over or is there a break period?

[void parcel]

i think its immediately but im not 100% sure. might be up to the jam organizers

[mighty solstice]

...

me me too

[old adder]

gonna try to make a mac build of my game

[nimble dew]

When you finally build your project and the result is 900 MB big 👀 I used a nice looking example environment... They did not optimized for size...

[rotund rampart]

we made itttt

[mighty solstice]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAh

[mighty solstice]

how

[small radish]

ya'll got such nice art

[atomic stream]

nicee!!!!! :3

im so tireeeeddd i wanna be done already

[void parcel]

"its only a shell of a game"
i see what you did there....

[atomic stream]

i need to make win and lose condition

[signal monolith]

I've submited, wish me luck

[tardy flint]

shit fuck i shouldnt have gone to sleep everyone is finished and im not

[atomic stream]

good luck!!!

[void parcel]

im not dw

[atomic stream]

dw im not either 😭

[small radish]

if i'm being generous mine is at most a tech demo

[mighty solstice]

i have a question by the graphics why u think of my game

be sincere

[small radish]

only one enemy, no additional pickups. no way to win. no sounds or effects what so ever

[mighty solstice]

OUch

[small radish]

oh, was waiting for you to post an image lol

then i scrolled up and saw you'd already posted some

[atomic stream]

im so sad i didnt have time to implement the shop

[small radish]

from a programmers pov it's way above what i expect out of a game jam game

[fringe star]

forgot i was replying, sorry

[mighty solstice]

my english bad do it mean its good ?

[small radish]

yea. at least good

[ocean summit]

i'm done too

[fringe star]

im gonna try to implement pass and play in under 2 hours, wish me luck

[ocean summit]

I hope i end up somewhere in the middle

[nimble dew]

I found a script to compress all those huge PNG textures... It kinda locked Unity. I hope it finishes before the deadline and helps to make my build smaller 😓

[void parcel]

im going to lose my mind

why is it sometimes handled and sometimes not even though its supposedly set every time?!?!?

[mighty solstice]

i have a question are we the only team who want finish add more things to our game after the jam ?

[small radish]

i'd be happy if i ended up higher than bottom 70%. I'm more or less happy with the gameplay, but it's just so lacking in content it gets boring really quickly

[ocean summit]

no

my game still has much more that could be added as well just don't have the time for it

[small radish]

the only thing you can add after the jam is Neuro integration. though that will not be included in the game jam evaluation.
and then there's of course nothing stopping you from expanding on your game after the jam, but that would only be for your own sake.
i'm thinking of doing so if i get some extra time during the spring

[wispy dagger]

HUGE

[old adder]

alright im done for sure this time

[hoary cargo]

After 3 days of being confident I think it's finally time for me to start panicking

[deep patrol]

aww i think im not gonna have enough time finish this jam 😦

[mighty solstice]

...that kinda small

[wispy dagger]

balance and bugtest? hell nah

[mighty solstice]

add easter eggs ?

i added 25 easter egg

[deep patrol]

i have only made two test levels in my game

[old adder]

missing all dlls, textures and data files

[deep patrol]

it's quite fking janky

[mighty solstice]

.....ah

wep

u did better than me i suppose

[small radish]

i was planning on adding easter-eggs in the form of pick-ups, imagine like risk of rain items. So like a bag of dog bones which has the effect of "x% chance to attach wan bone to enemy on hit". But since i never got time to add the pick-ups that's that

[mighty solstice]

can someone send me vedal twitch link

[mighty solstice]

do u know gta ?

[small radish]

https://www.twitch.tv/vedal987

[small radish]

yea

[mighty solstice]

i added it

this type of easter egg

[wispy dagger]

thats all i have

[mighty solstice]

if for example you type...femboy it will...

[mighty solstice]

wait do its a vn ?

[wispy dagger]

nah, a bullet hell

[lavish escarp]

guys i didnt sleep

[mighty solstice]

hmmm wait u made the engine urself ?

[mighty solstice]

NObody slept too lol

[lavish escarp]

how do you upload the webGL version

[rotund rampart]

if you're not building with Unity, chances are its gonna be much smaller

[lavish escarp]

im done with the game but i couldnt sleep cuz i was worried that noone would play the game cuz downloadable zip with executable is sus as fuck

built a webgl version

im trying to upload it now

[wispy dagger]

you can look at the code yourself,
but there is no engine real engine, its just a cupple collsion checks
rendering is done with raylib, super simple to use

[rotund rampart]

honestly 90% of indie games don't need the bloat from Unity

[deep patrol]

so true

[wispy dagger]

writeing it from scratch is a lot simpler for small projects. you know where all your stuff is

[nimble dew]

Yay the texture cruncher script finished and my build is down from 900 MB to 342 MB. Could be smaller but that is much better than before. The curse of copying a demo environment for nice graphics quickly 😅

[small radish]

having worked with monogame for uni for a year

[mighty solstice]

.....

[mighty solstice]

thx for traumatizing everyone 🙂

yeaaah i feel super happy....

[lavish escarp]

dammit

[mighty solstice]

rip

anyway who want eat CHIMICHANGAAAAAAAAs

[lusty falcon]

Heads up if you're using Godot and you've never tried Exporting before, try it now before the deadline is close

Godot has to download a gigabyte file to create exports the first time

[mighty solstice]

thx for the remember

[rotund rampart]

who is judging btw?

[lusty falcon]

Last year anyone who submits gets to vote on other submissions

[rotund rampart]

so its the same this year?

[torpid bridge]

Update

[lusty falcon]

I think so

[deep patrol]

we vote

[mighty solstice]

WHAT

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK 21 HOURS

[lusty falcon]

[deep patrol]

wt

[torpid bridge]

Yes fanart

[lusty falcon]

I'd better start building a main menu

[rotund rampart]

what

[pale iron]

How long is your guys game?

[rotund rampart]

15-20 minutes I think?

might be less

[torpid bridge]

We already published our game

[lusty falcon]

Dunno no time to test it

[deep patrol]

u can complete my game in 60 seconds

[mighty solstice]

we added the sound...menu...vi...vin diesel....gameplay...credits....fridge port api

[lusty falcon]

Fridge port

[deep patrol]

cuz it's a super fxxking janky and oldschooled 2D platformer

[mighty solstice]

......AH

[rotund rampart]

its one vote per team per game right?

[mighty solstice]

you can complete my game in 60 and ONE second

[fringe star]

play tested, about 40mins with speedrun strats

[old adder]

@misty tree do you have somewhere i should link to credit you for the minawan sprite?

[rotund rampart]

wow

[deep patrol]

cool

[fringe star]

i kinda built something similar to a level editor on day 1-2, so its really easy to build levels

[mighty solstice]

Guys verify that ur game is not considered like a virus

[old adder]

nothing i can do about that anyway

[pale iron]

Mine is on web browser so it should be fine

[lavish escarp]

https://mucpou.itch.io/rollinggirl

There we go

it should allow both web and download

[misty tree]

i guess my itch.io if u need a link? HolyMuffin if just a username i dont really use twiter or any normal thing people would link

[old adder]

sure, whats your itch.io then?

[misty tree]

https://holymuffin.itch.io/

nwo that im awake, time to wrap this up XD

[old adder]

good luck

time to actually go out and do life stuff

[rotund rampart]

I finished

[hoary cargo]

Awake for 36 hrs, 8 espressos in, my brain keeps skipping frames but the finish still feels so far away

[lusty falcon]

[fringe star]

i would like to credit some stuff

[hoary cargo]

At least my environment looks pretty good now....

[lusty falcon]

That looks sick

[brave wadi]

Do you know how I can avoid that

[vivid sentinel]

whoah, cool

[fringe star]

12 cups of chocolate and the delivery guys for helping me

[hoary cargo]

Thx, built of blood and sweat

[vivid sentinel]

the joyous kind surely

[fringe star]

that looks sick

[hoary cargo]

Sounds good too

Put quite a bit of work in ambience sounds and stuff

[sour horizon]

oh wow, managed to finish the main storyline in time

but

my main menu looks like

hmmmm

[hoary cargo]

FUCK I DON'T HAVE A MENU

I forgor

[atomic stream]

im not even sure about the name of my game im gonna be honest

[old adder]

you don’t need it

[hoary cargo]

No I need it, you don't understand...

[atomic stream]

ive been using "neuro saves the world" as a super generic placeholder but i probably wont have time to think of a real name and it will end up as that

[fringe star]

theres still 2 hours, i think you can make it

[hoary cargo]

Still gotta finish the level, that's only 80% done 😭

[tardy flint]

Too many bugs...

I should've woken up sooner

[hoary cargo]

At least you slept

[eternal girder]

raise the (gamejam) timer! 🔔

[tardy flint]

fr shouldve been 4 days

[pale iron]

If it was 4 days I would’ve just procrastinated 1 day more

[autumn whale]

im so cooked, the amount of actual "gameplay" in my game is basically non existent

[lethal egret]

Good luck everyone. Two hours left

[trim rover]

dang office work mondays taking one day away from me

[wispy dagger]

i learned a lot and its short (and maybe sweet). so i cant complain

[hoary cargo]

What is the best type of upload from a godot project?

[fringe star]

i need to ask something, theres something in the gamejam description, it said it
"When submitting your game, you will have to answer a few questions about it. Keep this is mind and aim to submit your game no later than 10 minutes before the deadline."
the only questions i got was is there ai and how does this impement the theme.

is there like more questions or thats it cuz im kinda worried for some reason

[trim rover]

those are the questions I'm pretty sure

just making sure people don't do it literally last minute

[wispy dagger]

yeah, when you first upload the game you have to do things like genre, that takes time as well

[brave wadi]

Guys how do i stop this

[maiden acorn]

o7 too ambitious for first ever game attempt but at least i know godot

[wispy dagger]

just means its unknown

[autumn whale]

are you using some third party library's or something?

[brave wadi]

I don't know what that means, it's an exe in a zip

[lusty falcon]

Probably just because it's an unsigned executible

[tardy flint]

2 hours left 🔔

[lusty falcon]

That's just life for decveloping on Windows, unless you fish out however much MS charge for a signiing, somewhere between $2k and $200k plus a 6 month wait

Don't worry about it

[covert spindle]

I had that same problem also I had to delete and resubmit it

[trim rover]

this tends to happen to me when running it on windows

[severe hornet]

it doesnt matters he/she will run it in a VM anyway?

[autumn whale]

oh it is your game? i had the same thing because i still had the windows unit included in my executable from debugging

[trim rover]

although the screenshot looks like when downloading it

[lusty falcon]

Don't worry about it

[fringe star]

btw, how many submissions do you guys think will this have?

[hoary cargo]

I don't have a windows machine to test on :/

[autumn whale]

well we had 122 last year, i wonder if we get more this year

[mighty solstice]

......

[mighty solstice]

no sry

[trim rover]

at least 2

[severe hornet]

i have a Biased view beacause i were i frecuent are in the game jam but considering view numbers of this years subathon + last year gamejam, i think a lot more GOOD luck to the jury o7

[tardy flint]

Issue: First letter of any text the UI shows is cut off
Solution: Add an extra letter at the start of all UI text

Programming

[hoary cargo]

I should probably check if the project even complies before the deadline comes too close...

[severe hornet]

Transparent character?

[fringe star]

i think about 400-600, cant tell exactly cuz im not sure if only one joins can represent a group or each join is only 1 person

[severe hornet]

welp i think thats a good idea

[atomic stream]

why do i leave menus for last

[cosmic grotto]

i'll be submitting something less than a prototype

[atomic stream]

my "game" is more of a proof of concept

[tardy flint]

same

[fringe star]

my game is only a skeleton with some organs

[hoary cargo]

Same, at this point I can classify it as a Playable Teaser... A P.T. if you will...

[atomic stream]

[autumn whale]

i felt the need to include this line on the gamepage

[atomic stream]

LMAO

[wispy dagger]

maybe 2x submissions?

[fringe star]

damn, good luck to the judges

[hoary cargo]

My disclaimer

Trigger Warning:
Strong Language
References to Suicide
Depressive Atmosphere

[wispy dagger]

everyone who submitted can judge i belive

[fringe star]

quick question, this game jam locks the ability to update to lock the deadline, when does this lock disappear so we can continue updating the game?

[atomic stream]

after voting ends

if its like every other itch.io jam

[hoary cargo]

I'm gonna add the "Fucked up if true" voice line from neuro when that gets displayed xD

[earnest wind]

Finaly I can rest Have'nt slept for a day

[wispy dagger]

also keep in mind when you are multiple people

This is on purpose, only the submitter of the game can vote. This is so that every team has the same voting power regardless of how many people are in it.

[atomic stream]

YES

[wispy dagger]

i mean only one peson per team can vote

[hoary cargo]

So glad I downloaded it

[atomic stream]

damn i didnt know that one

thats pretty sad but ig it makes sense

[rocky glen]

guy, i was almost making smt playable but i just crashed

[wispy dagger]

a team can divide their people and review more games i guess

[mighty solstice]

skull

[junior elm]

it's doomed, soldiers

[tawdry kite]

Ugh if I didn’t have work I’d be able to finish this

Feels bad man

[wispy dagger]

game balance? never heard of her

[lavish escarp]

which one of you sick fucks made turtle rancher lmfao

this some ECaptainPH shit

[maiden acorn]

surely I can make a long-term project out of this

[autumn whale]

same, i want to at least finish some features, considering i didn't manage do implement the main feature i, at first, wanted in the game xD

[placid salmon]

I think I did enough foreshadowing that it was me, I just hope it doesn't get deleted from the jam

[wispy dagger]

maybe next year i use nuero sdk nad web version. would be cool

[lavish escarp]

goddamnit

i recognise the fucking noises

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH CONTENT

[hoary cargo]

Done and dusted!

[wispy dagger]

[hoary cargo]

I wish you guys all the best!

[lavish escarp]

no.

[small radish]

Does anyone know who made the background for the gamejam site? used that as a logo screen and trying to give credit

[autumn whale]

pb if i remember

[small radish]

Queenpb?

[autumn whale]

yeah

[hoary cargo]

I renamed my "Play" button to "Play Demo", I think that solves everything

[small radish]

ya'll think it's ok if i use that?

[autumn whale]

no clue

[small radish]

fuck it, i'm just gonna remove it then

[placid salmon]

I had a lot of ideas for that game, and it was going to have even more content with unique bullets and passive skills, but had to cut corners.

[lavish escarp]

its mildly cursed

NOOOO

@placid salmon

[tardy flint]

Let's see:
No menu
No end condition
No credits for assets I borrowed
No quit system (just alt f4 )
No lore
No bosses
Enemies cant even damage the player or core yet

One hour and 30 minutes. Yup, sounds like its going great

[wispy dagger]

its just for the jam, leave it in

[placid salmon]

[earnest wind]

[wispy dagger]

[eternal girder]

question, is it bad if my game has no music?

[lavish escarp]

yes

[earnest wind]

imo I dont think its bad but thats just me

[wispy dagger]

nah

[old adder]

no sounds = smaller filesize and no jumpscare sounds

[eternal girder]

well I don't have time to compose a track anyways

[lavish escarp]

jesus fuck is this the first game jam game ive finished

[earnest wind]

Same, it was very low on my list of priorities

[lavish escarp]

[placid salmon]

Baoberry

[small radish]

[atomic stream]

im praying people will read the itch io page

[placid salmon]

Congratulations

[placid salmon]

I knew you would like it, glad you enjoyed it.

[pale iron]

I just realized that I didn’t write anything on what my game is and how to play

[buoyant flower]

'What storyline? is it delicious?' - me

[autumn whale]

i have 9 line of text that randomly get display that are vaguely mysterious and a shot intro text (like 3 lines). im going for the "the meaning is up to the player" vibe

[hoary cargo]

I wanted to add actual game loops, but I ended up hardcoding all my puzzles. Did anyone else have a similar issue?

[mighty solstice]

published the game

[lament ermine]

our team is making use of every minute till the end

[mighty solstice]

https://alf1jx7.itch.io/memory-link

FINALLY

10 min left

[trim rover]

my main enemy has a 1/10 chance of dying right on spawn for some reason

I call it game balancing

[hasty drift]

game is uploaded, submitted, and tested. BIG RELIEVE

[maiden acorn]

some people are born lucky, you've made art

[wispy dagger]

i have a pause screen filled with controlls. how do you find the pause menu tho

[mighty solstice]

time to play dbt3

[hoary cargo]

Simplest main menu slapped together in 5 minutes, it's gotta be enough

[lament ermine]

can we submit 90% finished game now and keep updating until timer runs out?

[hoary cargo]

Oh that might be a good idea

[small radish]

yea, but time runs out in like 1 hour

so that's gonna be tight

[naive walrus]

hi, if i submit a game right now can i still update it before timer ends?

[small radish]

as far as i've understood, yea

[wispy dagger]

i won the lottery

[sage canyon]

We're in boys

Managed to complete in time

[hoary cargo]

I'm just gonna build it now to see how long it'll take...

[golden fjord]

[hoary cargo]

Damn, congratz
