[lament ermine]

https://voidbois.itch.io/troubleshooting Well, mission complete boys

3 days of no grass touching

Was it worth it?

[waxen wasp]

it is

[lament ermine]

HELL YES!

[waxen wasp]

bro is a troll

[cunning inlet]

yo @fleet goblet are you still awake

[eternal girder]

I just realized I uploaded the wrong version.-

[mighty solstice]

..😔

[buoyant flower]

As the creator, look at the room below

[craggy violet]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3204684
Shameless Plug

[sage sapphire]

always

[wispy dagger]

mate is it on the page?

[mighty solstice]

Why nobody rate my game sniff

[wispy dagger]

geez

[quick badger]

yes I found that one ^^ I'm stuck on level 1, right after that one

[hoary cargo]

Phew you can still replace the cover even after submitting

Test: https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213267

[calm sandal]

Man I can't belive i uploaded borked version last minute...

[hoary cargo]

fuck (it's updated on the submission page tho...)

[snow merlin]

Got no ratings either 😐 but it's still early, and most people are probably pretty tired after the sprint to the finish

[sage sapphire]

Another shameless plug inbound
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3212223

[mighty solstice]

But do they will see it?

[buoyant flower]

The spinny-thing-on-the-table (wormhole) sends you back in time.

[warped forge]

I figured it out, press X to pass time while on the button

[tacit wasp]

I wish I could plug my game but I don't have embed perms and I suppose the embed plays a part in people here clicking on it
Plus I think it's pretty deep in the submissions so RIP

[unreal plinth]

Discord takes a while to upload the previews

[umbral adder]

You have unlocked new role

[dawn tinsel]

I technically submitted it! Although it, uh, turns out it needs to download the LLM model it's trying to use on start since it was too big for itch.io, and it gives no indication whatsoever that it's doing that. I did write about it on the page, oops

[quick badger]

ooooh thats what I was missing

thank you!

[snow merlin]

I think you'll need to shamelessly plug with this many entries (https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211818)

[tacit wasp]

Oh shit let's go

[hoary cargo]

Yea, it's updated on the page, that's what matters

[mighty solstice]

Bro if i get 1 rate I'm the happiest man on earth

[snow merlin]

I hate self-promoting though 😆

[unreal plinth]

Here's the preview for your link on another site

Discord's just slow

[sage sapphire]

ngl yea, tho should be fine as long as we're not spamming it right

[rotund rampart]

wanna trade? I play yours and vote, you play mine and vote, no promo required

[hoary cargo]

Nice :D

[edgy ferry]

how can i tell if ive submitted my game?

[rotund rampart]

it says submission

[unreal plinth]

Well if it's time for everyone to shamelessly plug, might as well join in
https://tatoyoda600.itch.io/operation-chicken-nabbing

[rotund rampart]

top right

[edgy ferry]

i might be fucked

[tacit wasp]

I don't like promoting myself but I think I have to
Shameless plug moment:
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211795

[snow merlin]

Sure. 🙂 I'm a bit too tired to do it tonight though, my eyes can barely focus after doing an all-nighter 😆

[sage sapphire]

I'd like to join in on that trade offer gimme a few hours, need to make lunch and set up stream

[rotund rampart]

I like promoting myself but I want to:
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213059

[hoary cargo]

I'm gonna need to give my brain a bit of rest before I can play anything...

Almost 48 hours awake now

[cunning inlet]

how the hell is my game only around the 66% mark in terms of how late it was uploaded when I literally put it up 16min before the (initial) deadline, you're telling me 33% of people uploaded after me?

[rotund rampart]

link

[cunning inlet]

that's kinda insane ngl

[sage sapphire]

you deserve a well earned rest

[misty tree]

so now that jams over, whats next?

[sage sapphire]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3212223

[dawn tinsel]

I uploaded with approx. 2 minutes remaining

[warm gale]

Phew, did good job at that game jam

[misty tree]

lmao i submitted 1 minute before the initial deadline

[mighty solstice]

You should rate this game NOOOOOW
https://alf1jx7.itch.io/memory-link

[hoary cargo]

Imma stick around and see what's going on for another hour or so

[rotund rampart]

we wait for next year and live our lives for now

[edgy ferry]

i think i acidently just published my game to my profile without submitting it

[hoary cargo]

Gotta watch those numbers, 2 Downloads

[rotund rampart]

rip

[snow merlin]

I'm collecting links for when I've gotten some sleep 😉

[analog wolf]

I’ll check out all yalls’ work when I get home, looks promising!

[edgy ferry]

is it over for me sob

[sage sapphire]

let's goooo

[mighty solstice]

WTF

[sage sapphire]

F

[rotund rampart]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/entries

check if its there

[edgy ferry]

i have been and i dont think it is 😭

[rotund rampart]

yea its too bad

[old adder]

[rotund rampart]

send a link, I'll play it

[cunning inlet]

are there any more overseers of the game jam other than Alex and Vedal I could DM or sth?

[sage sapphire]

also if it has this above the submission

[edgy ferry]

i was making the page look nice cause i thought it was submitted

[lament ermine]

lol

[mighty solstice]

Yeaaaah let's go

[hoary cargo]

So... Did Discord update the preview...?
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213267

NO

Bah

[edgy ferry]

https://freyaunofficial.itch.io/neuro-rollback

[mighty solstice]

10 views

[copper ibex]

try adding a ? at the end of the link

[hoary cargo]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213267?

Oh lol

[hoary cargo]

Thx xD

[waxen wasp]

im suddendly getting downloads on last years game

[unreal plinth]

Give it a couple hours, Discord is realllyyy slow with the previews, I've fought with it before and Discord wanted to hold on to that cache for as long as it could

[copper ibex]

its not submitted

[hoary cargo]

Adding a question mark worked

[cunning inlet]

wait wtf

[unreal plinth]

ooo, nice!

[cunning inlet]

I found the reason why

[tacit wasp]

Man I wanna play all those games but my laptop is shitting itself trying to run them

[cunning inlet]

for some reason the "disable downloads and purchases" option was enabled, I don't remember clicking it

[sage sapphire]

39 views and a download that's 1 download more than I expected since I made the game in webgl

[cunning inlet]

alright it's downloadable now

poggers

[hoary cargo]

Bro I forgot I force enabled Temporal AA, RIP Potato PC users

[cunning inlet]

GOGOGO
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[sour horizon]

hm, can I not add screenshots now that the game is submitted?

[cunning inlet]

you can submit screenshots and change icon

[lament ermine]

may I interest you in a browser game

[sage sapphire]

it looks good too

[waxen wasp]

the diffrence is huge

[snow merlin]

Man, that sucks 😦

[deft shard]

You can, but the images can take time to update

[agile nymph]

Is only 1 person from each team can vote?

[edgy ferry]

thx sob

[waxen wasp]

person who submitted i think

[lament ermine]

share your team account

[sour horizon]

Yeah, the page allows it, but the screenshot don't seem to appear

[civic fractal]

[sage sapphire]

hopefully you can make one again next gamejam knowing what to do and stuff

[tacit wasp]

That includes the browser version lmao

[edgy ferry]

😭

[cunning inlet]

maybe you have the "show screenshots sidebar" disabled on your game's page theme options?

[edgy ferry]

i just didnt realize it wasnt submitted

[cunning inlet]

or maybe Ctrl+F5 in case it's not upadting due to cookies or sth

[unreal plinth]

Click Edit Theme when viewing the page, and this dropdown will say None by default, change it and they'll appear

[wispy dagger]

already lost KEKW

[edgy ferry]

wen the submissions locked i went to check if mine was on there and it wasnt

[past meadow]

Abandoned Pub:
An overcooked-like game about a robot bar-woman that lost her memories.

We are so excited that we got to finish the game in time, still some issues that we haven't had time to fix, most unfortunate is that we couldn't add the "happy ending"

We had a pretty big team, but it was mostly on the shoulder of our main developer.

• Huge thanks to @pseudo lodge for developing pretty much all of the game.
• Character & concept art - @tough lichen
• Background art - @hot sandal
• Story art - Otjareniy
• Props art and Story - @warm gale
• Cocktails concept art - @lilac robin
• UI/UX Design - @frosty dune
• Music/Sound - @stoic loom
• And a humble little me, developing all the UI elements as a pesky Front-end developer

Additional help - RainBowMan, @tender vigil, @zenith flicker , @arctic sail

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213265

[snow merlin]

I'm really glad I learned from previous jams to create the draft for my page early, and start making sure I had "working" builds uploaded early. I sat the last minutes in my last jam, and missed uploading my final build in time... Luckily only bug-fixes, but still frustrating...

[cunning inlet]

btw @waxen trail apparently I accidentally set my game to not downloadable somehow, you can download it now:
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[stone stump]

for those who implemented neuro's SDK, how long did it take you?

[zenith flicker]

LOOK I'M AMONG THE NAMES

[snow merlin]

It was really stressful sitting the last minute trying to get my build working then...

[sour horizon]

Yes! That's the button I was looking for, thanks.

[warm gale]

That's a huge ass team, are you guys nuts?

[tacit wasp]

Someone did it?

[stone stump]

idk i'm asking

[quaint flicker]

@warm gale my brother you team cook!!!

[hoary cargo]

Still only 2 downloads lmao

[warm gale]

Thanks! Have you been doing something for this jam?

[sage sapphire]

some did

[arctic sail]

dayum the art

[quaint flicker]

i did

[sage sapphire]

but not me

[quaint flicker]

i make art

[warm gale]

Give a link!

[void parcel]

erm ive been trying to get out of your first level for about 10 minutes. i stepped on all the magnifying glasses, which didnt do anything. i pressed the button in the top right that looks like it should open that hatch in the floor, again nothing. i read the question mark multiple times and couldnt garner any extra information. i read the data pad on the table which didnt give me any information. i sucked up all the energy from the dead drones and that didnt do anything for me. im at a complete loss

[hoary cargo]

Though not like we got 'till 6th of January to vote anyways

[tacit wasp]

Damn, good for them

[stable crescent]

@earnest wind YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS

[quaint flicker]

https://voidbois.itch.io/troubleshooting

[sage sapphire]

holy

[quaint flicker]

you would know what i work on lol

[sage sapphire]

neuro in a calculator

[warm gale]

The artwork, damn

[sage sapphire]

pocket neuro

[rotund rampart]

any idea why my inputs not working for this

[cunning inlet]

I'm gonna have such a good night rest tonight without any stressful and tight feelings deep inside my body

[warm gale]

so cool

[hoary cargo]

Man, I kinda just wanna... Keep working on the game...

[quaint flicker]

thank you bossman

[past meadow]

[stable crescent]

We bringing Neuro to class with this one

[sage sapphire]

same, but I'll do a that next time

[cunning inlet]

you can always post a v1.1 later

[quaint flicker]

i did so many art

[rotund rampart]

I'm supposed to be able to move at this part right>

[clear island]

Yo, Can contributors rate games?

[snow merlin]

Next time I join such a short jam, I should probably look to join a team. Felt really stretched thin trying to do everything in just 72 hours...

[arctic sail]

try another browser maybe?

[past meadow]

Yes, try exiting to main menu and starting the level again, we didn't encounter that issue before

[jagged iron]

true

[cunning inlet]

if you were part of a team, you're recommended to vote in unison with your team

[rotund rampart]

restart fixed it, not sure what triggered it

[naive walrus]

only the one who made the page i think

[clear island]

Ah ok

[cunning inlet]

if you didn't sign yourself up as a partipator tho, then no

[clear island]

thx

[wispy dagger]

@hoary cargo walls are optional XD

[warm gale]

I spend half my time on story. Not much of art from me. Though, my team had a lot of heavy lifters

[hoary cargo]

wdym?

[stable crescent]

The graphing calculator Vedal bought was worth it

[hoary cargo]

Oh you phased through the door

Yeah I saw too late that I forgot to disable that room

[quaint flicker]

nah but your team got the best of the best yall cook

here some stuff that didnt make it in

[warm gale]

We could have paccha, but she got tired at the end of this year, so we let her shill

[sage sapphire]

damn that looks sick

[warm gale]

Yooo, that's so cool. What a shame it didn't make it in the game

[quaint flicker]

that would be way to op

[warm gale]

yes

[quaint flicker]

it was a last minute idea

[cunning inlet]

You guys wanted more duets between Vedal and Neuro, right? Well I made your dreams come true, you should play my game

[past meadow]

We still had 1.5 developers, so I don't think art was the bottleneck

[sage sapphire]

link

[cunning inlet]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[sage sapphire]

oh it's this one I've added it to my list

[warm gale]

in fact, we had whole work from one artist not making it into final game

[snow merlin]

Man, there are so many good-looking games submitted. Meanwhile I had to scrounge up stock-photos 😆 https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211818

[quaint flicker]

wrong version this was that didnt make it in

[cunning inlet]

meanwhile my Ctrl+C Ctrl+V went crazy during my development lmao

[past meadow]

Good ol' last years game jam

[lament ermine]

XD

[quaint flicker]

lol

[warm gale]

they know

[naive walrus]

🙂

[lament ermine]

Glad to see yall after a years time

[warm gale]

how did your game turn out?

[lament ermine]

It's Troubleshooting

I'd say we cooked

[warm gale]

can you send a link?

[lament ermine]

You guys definitely cooked

[quaint flicker]

https://voidbois.itch.io/troubleshooting

kekw

[warm gale]

aaah, you are in the one team

[lament ermine]

XD

[wispy dagger]

the wall is closed as far as i can tell

[misty tree]

will there be any game jam related content on stream? if not ill go snooze

[lament ermine]

I want to play your game but I can't because I must sleep 😭

[hoary cargo]

Yeah, that was a door without proper collision

[lament ermine]

it's 2:06 am rn

[warm gale]

We all need to sleep after all that

[quaint flicker]

im the temu version of you lol

[lament ermine]

Zzz

[sage sapphire]

not sure if it's today but I believe there's a chance

[wispy dagger]

btw, who is the speaker?

[rocky glen]

we did it boys

[winter aurora]

I want to play your game too
Could be nice to have in last year server a channel to share previous member game. Will do it tomorow today I

[warm gale]

Yeah! Good idea

[hoary cargo]

Me, first voice acting attempt xD

With some minor pitch-shift downwards (basically, all assets that aren't the two music tracks were made 100% by me during GameJam time)

Thats why I didn't sleep

[naive walrus]

Congratulations everyone! Hope i could play most of the game (there so many )

[waxen trail]

Will do! took a nice long post-jam shower and now I'm ready to play stuff

[tough lichen]

YEAAHHHH LETSGOOO IM DYIN FROM AMOUNT OF WORK THAT I HAD

[hasty drift]

https://luderu.itch.io/remnants-of-the-past-defend-neuros-memories
for the peeps who like tower defense games its a tower defense game you defend with towers

[cunning inlet]

yeah I'm gonna take a good rest today as well cuz I was stressed beyond belief xd

[mighty solstice]

Wait i can edit the game

[snow merlin]

Yeah, me too. I need to peel myself away from the computer now; I've spent way too much time in this chair the last 72 hours...

[mighty solstice]

.... I can add a update 🙂

I'm basically now a god

[hoary cargo]

Uploads should be locked, everything else should work

[waxen wasp]

ive been awake for 28 hours, im also gonna go to bed. goodnight

[mighty solstice]

Ah

[wispy dagger]

that huge tower with the crazy visuals as well? O.o

[mighty solstice]

Fuck

[hoary cargo]

Everything xD

[wispy dagger]

Noice

[hoary cargo]

The tower was just like 15minutes work tho, lighting sells it

[wispy dagger]

is that the last you unlock? i cant tell how far the demo is supposed to go O.o

[hoary cargo]

Well, after triggering the reactor you would usually unlock the room you glitched into

Which has a button that gives you a finish popup

Buuut I forgot to hide the room

[wispy dagger]

well it says end of demo 😄

[rotund rampart]

I LOVE THIS

I adore the sprites

[hoary cargo]

Yea but it should've been hidden as the very last area xD

[mighty solstice]

In my game you can... gaming

And game

[sage sapphire]

damn, that's one hell of a game

[copper ibex]

i guess its my time to sellout my game: https://adesi.itch.io/past-destiny play it

[sage sapphire]

looking forward to it

[sage sapphire]

will add that to my list

[potent stirrup]

https://kotgedev.itch.io/life-dream-memory if anyone wants to play a survivors like / bullet hell

[sage sapphire]

adding that too

oh wait, I did not know you could make gifs

as icons

[misty tree]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211665

[unreal plinth]

Oh you're right, that's cool

[tardy geyser]

congrats to everyone who completed the jam on time

[fleet goblet]

@potent walrus thanks for the reports

[stoic loom]

The best team in the world :3

[waxen wasp]

reports? why where there games reported?

[fleet goblet]

Does someone need to do a late submission or something? I'm going to bed so this is kind of the only chance

[waxen wasp]

i think so ye

[rotund rampart]

@edgy ferry this person submitted wrong and thought they already did

[misty tree]

it just hit me i didnt add a dialogue sound, oops

[hoary cargo]

Maybe I should ask to push an update to fix that one room flag...

But is worth it

[waxen trail]

VANOR! I made a game I'm really proud of this jam
https://superobot1.itch.io/sea-of-memories

Alongside GrabThatBread who did the amazing art

and music

[tame rapids]

My game turned way better than last years as well

Didn't find any game breaking bugs

[hoary cargo]

Would it be possible to push an update on an already submitted project? I forgot to check a single boolean... (Not super important if other people need their whole projects submitted)

[edgy ferry]

YAY MY GAME GOT SUBMITTED

[warped forge]

I played this, it's fun! If you survive long enough the music stops though. Survive even longer and the game crashes. I think I beat it.

[bitter cargo]

i need one BADLY

[edgy ferry]

tank you

[sage sapphire]

adding that to the list of game to prio in rating

[cloud trench]

Heres a rpg like game I made music for
https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[wild condor]

I’m willing to do the Neuro SDK for anyone working in Unity if you want want to do it yourself

[violet surge]

yay
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213213

[fleet goblet]

For late submission DM me with your game link and a good explanation of why you need to late submit - the sooner the better, I will judge it on a case by case basis

Also it helps if you keep your itch.io file upload untouched because it shows when it was last modified

[cunning inlet]

after watching Neuro play Buckshot Roulette, I have a feeling I'm gonna enjoy the tears in the devs' eyes as they rip their hair off after witnessing how Neuro absolutely demolishes any sense of logic while trying to play their games

[dawn tinsel]

I actually tried to implement very naive LLM-based AI with function calling into my game, and, uh, I don't think it has the slightest concept of what the game is really

[cunning inlet]

thank you for the +1hr, it allowed me to fix one critical problem that reset progress

no more anny well 2.0 this time

[dawn tinsel]

Without the +1hr I wouldn't have resolved either my resource loading issue (why does Unity have approaches that only work in the editor?) or my button z-indexing problem that made most of the map uninteractable, yeah!

[violet surge]

[tacit wasp]

I would love to add the SDK just to see what Neuro will do
My game is literally based on removing memories that doesn't exist, it would go wrong so fast with her

[sage sapphire]

I also give my thanks cuz it lets me fix some local resizing issues with my game that made it unplayable on different screens

[jagged iron]

For editor scripting

[dawn tinsel]

I've not used Unity properly before and that does make sense, but was quite confusing for me when it all worked perfectly during development until I built the game

[deft shard]

For the most part you shouldn't have the need to worry about resources when working with unity... though some old tutorials may recommend "Resources" folder etc.

(of course you can if you really want to)

[dawn tinsel]

My game was kind of designed with the Neuro API in mind, although it's not exactly an exciting game to stream/is pretty ugly. But it should be fairly easy to add

[misty tree]

@rotund rampart trying your game right now, its so cute! one thing im on dog school atm, one thing id say is its kinda clunky that u gotta click on every text box, since your hands have to move to keyboard for typing
also in some way it auto filled the dog chews shoes one for me, so theres some kind of bug that can allow you to bypass typing it

[dawn tinsel]

I think I ended up in the direction I did following some tutorials about using UI Toolkit (my game is, uh, highly menu-based)

[torpid bridge]

Our project

[jagged iron]

When i was newbie, i used to get prefabs from resources and not from gameobject fields

[deft shard]

Same tbh

[unreal plinth]

Editor scripting is the best

[deft shard]

But also, old unity tutorials really did tell you to use "Resources" (or I was just unlucky)

[jagged iron]

Wow that's crazy

[void parcel]

i think my game is unbeatable lmao

[deft shard]

SciFi screen texture as a side-effect

[jagged iron]

Try, all unity tutor's i see was 8 year old

[deft shard]

Also, as far as I know, adressables are the new "Resources", but I didn't dive deep into them...

[torpid bridge]

I think our team did a great job this year!

[tacit wasp]

@cunning inlet Got a crash in your game by pressing Shift at the start

[dawn tinsel]

I did see something about using asset bundles instead but in no way was I trying to figure those out in 30 minutes

[unreal plinth]

That's what happens when you try and implement a custom editor for laying out paths while sleep deprived and under time pressure for the jam, it's so so awful, but it let me remake the map and modify stuff real quick when stuff starting burning down

[cunning inlet]

I guess that's something I never tried, good to know

shouldn't be a problem after the union tho

[edgy ferry]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213353

[deft shard]

I mean, really, I've seen AA games that ignore resource management until the game starts crashing on 32GB of RAM, so you, probably, don't need it for a game jam xD

[dawn tinsel]

Oh yeah, I'm not worried about the performance of loading my menu resources

[jagged iron]

Only RTX in next game jam game

[deft shard]

[brave wadi]

Guess we all linking our games here now https://tissterrachained.itch.io/kayorihou

[waxen trail]

Fellow jammers is this a normal size for a switch statement

[mighty solstice]

4 hour four downloads

Welp génocide time

[cunning inlet]

alright that's one bug fix for the update in 7 days done

[sage sapphire]

A lot more on the shorter end

[jagged iron]

Uuh this not looks good

Use if statements next time

[cunning inlet]

I have one about the same size, I see no issues here

[naive walrus]

too small and clean

[unreal plinth]

Any smaller than that is suboptimal

[jagged iron]

ReturnToPreviousTile empty btw

U forgor something?

[waxen trail]

Never implemented it

I figured it'd be too much effort for a 1 time event

[jagged iron]

Classic

[waxen trail]

That event isn't in the game luckily

Remains firmly on the drawing board lol

[jagged iron]

I created like 6 scripts for game suddenly changed genre and never used it

[violet surge]

it's fineeeeeeeee

[jagged iron]

(it crashes without it)

[waxen trail]

I created an entire new Unity project halfway through the first day realized I wasn't excited about the idea I was doing

[potent stirrup]

I'v had a section of my code where there were paragraphs repeated of the same thing with minor changes because it was nearly 1 hr before due and I was not gonna risk using my brain to find a moe effecient solution

[jagged iron]

So true

[waxen trail]

Copy paste for the win

[tepid cove]

I remembered to add a browser version this year
https://crogun.itch.io/neurtris

[clear island]

Good Luck everyone!
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213368

[cunning inlet]

I just realized my game is 250% the size of my last year's submission

Guess I cooked roughly 2.5 times harder this time

[clear island]

This is my first time doing this

did better than expected

[jagged iron]

I wish for more time

3 days not enough

[tardy geyser]

glad to hear improvements all around

[cunning inlet]

I did better last year than I expected as well, this year I was way more prepared

[tepid cove]

that title card is insane

[clear island]

Yep

Though I didn't make that

[cunning inlet]

didn't quite get to recreate my initial vision, but I just kinda reorganized everything to come together in a new way

[misty tree]

i have sound and im on theme this year 🎉

i suppose the game itself is more generic than last year, but thats fine

[tame rapids]

all in all, i'm happy with what i did this year

[cunning inlet]

I wish I had more time to iron out the dialogue and facial expressions this year, but my focus on gameplay was way more on point this time

[jagged iron]

CFRB jumpscare

[cunning inlet]

it was a trade, but I think it was a good trade overall

[cerulean jetty]

ultrakill but neur?

[tame rapids]

i suppose so

[cerulean jetty]

She's why mankind is dead.

[jagged iron]

If you can't throw coins in this game, I'll rate it 0/10

[lethal egret]

My answer? I will keep the game on

[tame rapids]

[clear island]

Honestly everyone on the team was panicking hard as we barely managed to submit it on time. Only for it to get extended by an hour

lol

[cerulean jetty]

Nah, we did not even finish properly.

Just kicked it through the door.

[clear island]

Lol

[cunning inlet]

I just remembered I forgot to caption most of my rooms with funny messages. It 100% doesn't matter but I just now rmembered they ever exist lmao

Guys if you want a game that plays similar to Medabots, play this! https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[lavish escarp]

I FOUND A BUG IN MY GAME

bruh

[tepid cove]

yo same

[lavish escarp]

its

i realise this

right after the game jam ends

[rotund rampart]

Gave you a comment and rated it, great job! really well polished for 3 days work

[lavish escarp]

i mean its fine its pretty hard to trigger

[tepid cove]

it really do be that way

[rotund rampart]

which one is your game again

[cunning inlet]

Thank you so much! ^^

[tame rapids]

i guess i won't rate any games today since my internet today absolutely sucks

[lavish escarp]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830

[analog wolf]

I love Neurp (cute game so far)

[jagged iron]

probably need photoshop cover for game rn, instead print screen

[rotund rampart]

I played this before the voting, gonna give a rate

[lavish escarp]

note :

you might have played the non final version

unless you played webgl

then its the final version

BUT

on the third level theres a place you can go where the AI tries to shoot you through a wall and it shoots the boss instead and because i coded it so that enemies damage each other with friendly fire

you can skip the the third level by sitting in a corner and letting the AI merc the boss

its a speedrunner skip, which would be excellent, if i implemented a timer

on the bright side, its hard to trigger

man

i hope it doesnt fuck up anyone's experience

[rotund rampart]

played it after the first deadline haha

[lavish escarp]

oh yeah there was a second deadline

[tepid cove]

bugs are expected and can sometimes be funny

[lavish escarp]

nah i was asleep

[lavish escarp]

yeah thats fair but like

MH

[rotund rampart]

I never got to the end though

[lavish escarp]

of the deadlines?

of the game?

[rotund rampart]

of the gme

[lavish escarp]

o why so

[rotund rampart]

kept dying

hahaha

[lavish escarp]

SOME PEOPLE

SAY ITS TOO EASY

SOME PEOPLE SAY A GAME REVIEWER WOULD QUIT

[rotund rampart]

I'm just bad at this kind of games

[tawny crow]

Hi guys! We’ve created a small game that inspired by _neurosama arg for the Game Jam and would really appreciate it if you could try it out: https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213190.
Any feedback or thoughts would mean a lot to us. Thank you!

[lavish escarp]

no its just apparently the genre has a big gap between skill floor and skill ceiling

so much so

i implemented a normal mode

and a hard mode

because of all the people i let playtest

some couldnt finish, some were speedrunning

former not ideal, as its a story game

[waxen trail]

Empty what's your link D:

I have to play this

[unreal plinth]

Let's see if I did the gif thumbnail thing correctly
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3210589

[hollow compass]

Here to post the game I made. I would love if you played it! https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213244

[jagged iron]

ow looks good

[unreal plinth]

woo, the gif works!

[jagged iron]

gonna try rn

[lavish escarp]

thats good art

[tame rapids]

i'm also gonna 100% play your game tomorrow, today my internet barely allows me to view discord

[unreal plinth]

Thank you!
I suck at art, but I did my best to make the assets for my game

[lavish escarp]

ill give it a shot after trying katsudon's game

[tacit wasp]

I finished playing, very fun game!

[cunning inlet]

yeah just read your feedback

[lavish escarp]

@rotund rampart the visuals are adorable

[waxen trail]

Internet issues suck :< but no rush with playing my game - Hope you enjoy it

[cunning inlet]

I tried to optimize the FNF section as much as possible, but the engine isn't the best for it

it ran fine on mine, but can't really test elsewhere, so I feel sorry that you couldn't experience it properly

[rotund rampart]

Thanks! Haha, did you try pressing spacebar in the overworld/neuro’s room

[cunning inlet]

unlucky

[tacit wasp]

Don't worry, it was still fine overall

[tame rapids]

your game from last year was fantastic so i don't doubt that i will enjoy it!

[lavish escarp]

yes

i wish for a clockwise spin in the sequel

Honestly this year I had to pivot halfway through the first day, so I had less time. But I'm really proud of what I made, I genuinely feel like I leveled up as a dev

[lavish escarp]

aw fuck

i had no clue

[rotund rampart]

Next year I want to do this with a second programmer and a sound guy

[jagged iron]

@tawny crow why shotgun shooting shells and not bullets lul

[tacit wasp]

I may suffer from skill issue because it's the 3rd time I get my ass whooped by the first enemy
Do all enemies just do critical hits on Neuro or something?

[lavish escarp]

god idk if im taking part again next year im BEAT

3 day long crunch

[torpid bridge]

Gotta ask @sleek reef about that 😭

[lavish escarp]

ngl, im mildly surprised that i havent played more shooters

[tame rapids]

tbh i had a lot of fun developing the game, despite that i'm really tired now

[cunning inlet]

I feel good now, but I was ridiculously stressed during the development

[tame rapids]

yeah, the last hours were the worst

[tawny crow]

i did a sprite and collider and then when time was running out i remembered that shells are not bullets but left that as it is (true programmer vibe)

[jagged iron]

Good graphics and audio, but dialogues not your strong part ( wall collision junky )

[cunning inlet]

for me the worst part was the start and middle, because I aim to create a full experience, but I have no idea if my vision is too grand or not, so I wallow in a constant stare of self doubt

[rotund rampart]

ikr, the panic at the end

[cunning inlet]

once I get near the end and I see how far I've come and how much time I have to do the rest, then I feel in control again

[rotund rampart]

you did great! it was so content filled

[tame rapids]

it's weird how in this game jam, my game is on verge of overscoping, but still somewhat decent in terms of polish

[cunning inlet]

I tried my very best to incude various different stlyes of gameplay this time compared to last year, so I hope everyone likes it ^^

[tame rapids]

which is quite good actually

[cunning inlet]

Speaking of which, in case anyone doesn't have my game on their list yet, please do add it:

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[tawny crow]

wall collision yeah, time was scuffed and we decided to did some "cringe fixes" so it works at least, dialogues are also first time doing, i think next time i will ask another person to write story lines

[cunning inlet]

I felt the same way both this and last time

[tawny crow]

but thanks for feedback, i appreciate it

[misty tree]

ah poop, this might actually be a problem xD i one of our group members and one my my friends testing it also ran into this issue lol, i wonder why windows security hates my games :c

[tame rapids]

i think it's common problem for games with exe files

[cunning inlet]

I'm pretty sure my game does that as well lmao

[rotund rampart]

meanwhile I had to do this

[tame rapids]

mine gets flagged too

[cunning inlet]

making games on the old Game Maker engine creates executable files that the new firewalls are scared of

[misty tree]

i have a number of gamemaker projects tho and the friend i regularly have test my games had an issue with this one but not the others

i wonder if theres something extra sus to them in this project

my only guess could be maybe there were files named things related to hacking or something?

[tame rapids]

i have neuro sdk in my game files (i didn't use them tho), maybe it's their fault

[misty tree]

i guess one other factor is i have group members this time 👀 i suppose i cant guarantee none of them gave me malware to put in the game lmao

[tacit wasp]

The same thing happened to me with LOVE2D
I merged the zip file with LOVE's exe file and I don't think Defender liked that since it somehow flagged the same game exe 3 times

[misty tree]

i have my doubts its that, but cant rule anything out xD

[tacit wasp]

Anti-viruses just don't like executables that have no certificate and no known popularity

[potent stirrup]

befr the 1 hr extension it was a minute

[tame rapids]

welp, it's time for me to finally get full 8h sleep, good night neurons! (i'll be playing your games tomorrow)

[jagged iron]

[lavish escarp]

fun game

howvever

i have been stuck in this room for 3 songs

cuz evil will not leave my door

[waxen trail]

Empty the atmosphere in your game is peak

It really comes together as an experience

[jagged iron]

my antivirus kills A Bandoned Rchive

[misty tree]

aaaaaa xD

[misty tree]

got a specific one or just the standard windows variety

[rotund rampart]

I finished A Bandoned RChive, its great!

would be more fun if it was harder imo

[misty tree]

i thoguht about it, but making everyone able to play the game through felt more important for a game jam than adding difficult content

and i didnt get around to an evil neuro boss fight :c

[lavish escarp]

@tame rapids where ur game

[misty tree]

idk why windows security dont like my game but this is the button that would allow it if its that

[tame rapids]

guys i need to sleep 😭

https://grimodello.itch.io/mecha-turtle

[rotund rampart]

just download it on edge, no questions asked

[lavish escarp]

[hoary cargo]

why am I still awake, it's been 48 hrs now and I don't even need to stay awake anymore since the deadline is passed...

[tame rapids]

btw send me links your games in reply to this message and i will play it tomorrow

[misty tree]

the first person who ran into this issue had the same issue on all browsers since it wasnt the browser blocking it

[rotund rampart]

same

[hoary cargo]

I think I got too used to staying up now

[rotund rampart]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213059

[lavish escarp]

if it means anything

you can have chrome download them anyway

[misty tree]

Also, sleep is temporary, but the subathon is even more temporary so more awake tim it is

[hollow compass]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213244

[waxen trail]

I downloaded it anyway and haven't self destructed yet

[tawny crow]

same, i was on grind mode this few weeks (other projects) and i can't sleep normally

[lavish escarp]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830

[waxen trail]

But yeah spooky .exe makes the browser scared. Windows scan still didn't detect any issues thouh

[tame rapids]

it indeed contains danger (neuro)

I mean to be fair, I got ADHD so I can't sleep anyways but now I feel like I evolved past it

[tawny crow]

i can't imagine doing something like this alone

[nimble dew]

Just got an idea about using the theme: Inspired by my Unity trouble during the game jam with mostly finding ancient information that is super outdated, Remnants of the Past could have been a game about that struggle. Some kind of meta game of fighting Unity while trying to develop a Neuro game...

[tardy flint]

Time to continue work on the game. Lots to do...

[tame rapids]

remember guys that you can download itch.io app and use sandbox setting to be lil more extra safe

[lavish escarp]

the download page on itch.io just links to unity and theres a zip containing the project files

[hoary cargo]

It was wild. I did: 3d Modelling, Texturing, Voice Acting, Sound Design, Level Design and Coding xD

[tame rapids]

[waxen trail]

More rating than entries

[hoary cargo]

AND to a decent quality as well

[jagged iron]

Imagine having team

https://simbel.itch.io/stream-of-memories

[hoary cargo]

Yee, who needs that

[lavish escarp]

i got my japanese friend to read the script/narration part to my game in the anime narrator voice and didnt manage to implement it in time

[nimble dew]

Does that mean how many rating there are of the games in total?

[waxen trail]

Yes!

Overall

[hoary cargo]

Sadge

[nimble dew]

Huh. After submitting I just fell in my bed for like two hours 😄

[kindred carbon]

I really need to sleep
https://sobakal.itch.io/neuro-spin

[lavish escarp]

i mean i chose not to

as well

[tawny crow]

i did scuffed story writting, coding, some sprites, animations and level design, that was trully a hard time, but it was fun at least

[lavish escarp]

simultaneously

because

[hoary cargo]

I did my first ever voice acting job, and I think it actually turned out quite well

[lavish escarp]

my anxious japanese friend wasnt aware that it mightve been streamed to thousands of people

so thats part of the reason i deliberated

[hoary cargo]

Yea... That's a toughie xD

[lavish escarp]

the japanese narration goes hard tho

[hoary cargo]

Also, shameless plug, I only have 5 downloads that looks really sad

Damn, got out-plugged

[rotund rampart]

I would give this one a 6/5 for theme if I can, its literally a remnant of the past

[tawny crow]

i did my first in years c# coding, my main lang is js/ts and c# was simular, but not enough for me to be fluid in it

[molten shadow]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213368

why aint it embedding

[lavish escarp]

i should probably head out now tho, i have, dedicated so much time and effort to the game jam

i gotta go like, eat a celebratory meal

[tacit wasp]

Embed Failure moment

[rotund rampart]

link doesn't work

[hoary cargo]

Great exercise then. I had the advantage of being a jack of all trades (master at none tho)

Got 9 years of experience but never got a single project done lmao

itch is down?

[jagged iron]

yeah kinda laggy

[rotund rampart]

not

[jagged iron]

for me

[lavish escarp]

it stopped working for me

[rotund rampart]

your game wont load for me at all

[lavish escarp]

gave 504

[rotund rampart]

must be funko

[tawny crow]

xd every time i'm trying to be a frontend web developer, but end up anyone, but not him

[hoary cargo]

We overloading it :v

[lavish escarp]

i think swarm broke itch

[hoary cargo]

I just wanna gamedev, but so much work...

Well, at least I got my first ever project done

Only took me 25 years of being alive to get something done xD

[sour horizon]

le shameless plug time: https://shardhash.itch.io/branching-paths

[molten shadow]

yeah i think itch may be kinda slow rn

[jagged iron]

swarm ddos

[rotund rampart]

Itch ded

[hoary cargo]

Can't handle swarm

[tawny crow]

yeah, now i feel how hard is gamedev in general, with this amount of work you must overwork everyday for god knows how long

[hollow compass]

Itch is only a bit slow for me but still works

[tacit wasp]

Wait itch is really down?

[rotund rampart]

Yea

[tacit wasp]

Didn't that only happen like 2 times for Game Jams?

[hoary cargo]

I once spend 2 week working from waking to falling alseep every day to code a Visual Novel engine from scratch in unity

[tacit wasp]

Or I'm thinking of something else

[hoary cargo]

Ended up never using it

[rotund rampart]

Could be funko, you’ll never know

[jagged iron]

i think IT for juniors is hell in general

[tacit wasp]

Funko was just them being really stupid

[misty tree]

honestly, I feel like I learned a lot from what I made in this jam

[rotund rampart]

I kid of course

[misty tree]

got to test out a lot of dialogue and UI framework Ive theorized about but never tried using

[tacit wasp]

Oh damn
Guess itch.io is a remnant of the past now

[rotund rampart]

Yes

[hoary cargo]

Now I'm pitching it to random VTubers to see if anyone wants their own Visual Novel / Dating Sim (no one ever replied lmao)

[unreal plinth]

Have you been repeatedly scanning C1? Scanning freezes the room state, so guards in the room can't leave it. If you just wait a bit without scanning that guard should move on to the Bs and let you out (Unless something else is broken)

[jagged iron]

i cant download any game anymore

[umbral adder]

You have unlocked new role

[jagged iron]

shut up

[lavish escarp]

yeah they went to c3 and then refused to leave c3

all good tho its a pretty fun game

[rotund rampart]

What’s vedal’s game called again

[lavish escarp]

itch just isnt working for me now

sign for me to do other things

[rotund rampart]

Itch is ded

Its telling us to sleep

[jagged iron]

yep

[unreal plinth]

Weird, wonder what actions you might've done to get the guard to get stuck there
Hope it's not something big that broke...

[waxen trail]

Last neurojam it died right before the rating period ended so we had no clue who won for a few hours lol

[signal monolith]

did itch.io died?

[lavish escarp]

it probably isnt, but because C1- C2- C3 are such choke points, the bot doesnt move out of the way and theres no way to avoid it

even if i wait it often just sits in C3-C1-B4 which is statistically not improbable right?

[unreal plinth]

Yeah, The C section is meant to be a bit hard to get into, but that guard is supposed to go from there all the way over to A4, and no other guard enters the Cs

(All the guards have predefined paths)

[signal monolith]

o7

[lavish escarp]

yeah i mightve got an unlucky seed (?)
cuz when i arrived at B4 there were 2 guards

[potent walrus]

itch io down?

[signal monolith]

I think so

it is for me

[lavish escarp]

i waited for one of the guards to leave but one entered C

[hoary cargo]

Depends on Server, some less then others

[hollow compass]

It's been going up and down for me

[tawny crow]

swarm is too powerfull

[unreal plinth]

Guess that's happens when you don't really playtest. I didn't mean for it to be that hard

[waxen trail]

Tbh often a lot of devs make their games tougher than they need to be because they playtest a lot and want a challenge

[rotund rampart]

What’s your game

[waxen trail]

So kinda the opposite

[lavish escarp]

nah all good lol, and even if you playtest, shit can be scuffed

i could NOT for the life of me understand how difficult my game was

each playtester said something different

[signal monolith]

true, but my little brother managed to beat my game, so I think it's fine

[waxen trail]

Sounds like a FANTASTIC playtester I salute

[unreal plinth]

This one
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3210589

[hollow compass]

I couldn't get anyone to playtest my game so I think mine is more difficult than I wanted

[tacit wasp]

Same here

[hoary cargo]

This is actually really hard to avoid if you don't get someone else to playtest every once in a while

[tacit wasp]

I should have forced my brother to play it

[signal monolith]

i've played this one but got really confused, is this meant for neuro integration?

[unreal plinth]

Eventually would be cool to implement that, but it's fully playable as is

[waxen trail]

Yeah seeing a new player interacting with it for the first time is always very eye opening

[torpid bridge]

If you guys haven't had the chance to play it yet: https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[waxen trail]

Loved the art in your game!!

[signal monolith]

maybe I'll try it for the second time and I'll actually read the description this time lol

[rotund rampart]

I'll test it after some sleep

[torpid bridge]

Terrain did a good job with the art!

[unreal plinth]

The keypad on the left lets you select a room to scan, and you click on doors and keycards to move and interact with them, so the game is completely mouse controlled
I highly recommend reading the control explanations I wrote in the description since I didn't have time to implement a tutorial

[lavish escarp]

you should get a decent number of people to playtest ideally, my mate is a gungeon player and was like "nah this too easy"
and passing any roguelite that is adequately difficult to him to any non gungeon player would be like kicking them in the ribs

[rotund rampart]

last plug before bed
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213059

[hazy hatch]

i didn't make it but i tried 😂

[signal monolith]

Itchio doesn't work for me rn 😦

[unreal plinth]

The control scheme ended up being a whole lot less intuitive than I would've liked, and no tutorial makes that a whole lot harder to grasp, but once you know how the game works it's quite simple and should be pretty short

[hoary cargo]

I def. gotta get some playtesters once I've finished the full version

[waxen trail]

Next year surely!! I think everybody who became good at jams used to be bad at them early on

[lavish escarp]

ive played SS13 in the past while its not 1:1 it feels similar so i got used to it quickly

[hoary cargo]

Based

[lavish escarp]

SEV Torch's most thermite making chemist

[hoary cargo]

Haven't played myself, but watched it, a looot

[lavish escarp]

its got a curve to it

takes a while to get decent

i learned the chemistry system and paramedic system to some degree

goes hard tho, the game mechanics are so in depth that knowing any single one of them gives you the ability to affect the outcome of the match

[unreal plinth]

Hope I have time in the following weeks so I can add a tutorial and a couple levels of differing difficulties, cause I aimed too big for being 1 person.
Along with the Neuro SDK, think it could work quite well if Neuro gets to know the guard positions and not the player, so Vedal has to convince her to give him the info on where the guards are and stuff.

[lavish escarp]

god dude after making that game i need a break lol

i studied the neuro API and SDK before the game jam started to see if i could implement it and i can confidently say that a fibreglass enema is preferable a fate

[hoary cargo]

I'm going right back at it, sure I've been awake over 48 hours now, but I might as well improve my models and rewrite some systems...

[hoary cargo]

lmao, I've designed my game around the premise of letting neuro play it so...

[lavish escarp]

i tried to in the concept phase

gave up

couldnt get an idea that i liked that worked for both humans and AI, i DID however have the idea to have it play like XCOM to an AI and gungeon to a human

which is still possible

but very difficult to implement

[hoary cargo]

I basically coded an XCOM clone on accident

[unreal plinth]

If you're using Unity, they're really not that overly complex. The TicTacToe example is pretty good for showing you how to do it?
It's kinda just sending text explaining the situation and giving a list of functions that correspond to the actions the player can take.

[lavish escarp]

yeah i get that but condensing a system of decisions and functions to show what she can do, FROM the choices a human can make

given the human game i wanted to make

not easy

i couldve made like battleship and that wouldve been easy

[unreal plinth]

Ah yeah, not all games are suited of course, there needs to be a limited set of actions to take

[rotund rampart]

Honestly I’d like a programming category for voting

[tacit wasp]

I finished playing it, got to the 3rd zone
Pretty fun but I barely understood the tutorial so it took me some time to understand how the battle works
Afterwards, it's fine and cool until the memory core loses and you realize you gotta start from the beginning

[lavish escarp]

youre trying to run my rating into the ground arent you

[tacit wasp]

I'd get 0 stars

[unreal plinth]

Basically the reason I opted for click to move instead of WASD or any input system like that, cause it'd be so much harder to get Neuro to understand that type of movement

[lavish escarp]

yeah exactly

my game isnt grid based either so its gonna be very difficult for neuro to interpret it

even if i do make it xcom for AIs and gungeon for humans

cuz my end goal was AI-Human coop gameplay

[tacit wasp]

If I ever implement the SDK, I just plan to change how the game works
I don't think Neuro can play a real time game well, so I'll have to change it to a turn-based one
Or find a way to make Vedal play but he has to rely on info only Neuro has

[lavish escarp]

hella impossible scope

so maybe in the future

but for now imma just vibe

i gotta head out for the day

gonna plug my shit before heading out have fun folk

@unreal plinth i've finally beaten your game,
idea for the game is very cool, but the gameplay feels like 5 fps for some reason,
it really lowers my enjoyment and controls are very unresponsive, you don't get any feedback when clicking to move

[unreal plinth]

The events all happen based on the timer in the bottom left. Originally I was gonna give the player a slider to control how fast the timer is, so that everyone could play it at their own pace, but well I never got to the point of making any sort of menus so that had to be scrapped and I just put some middle ground value, which can make it feel quite slow once you know what you're doing a bit sadly :/

Here you go, have fun! https://shardhash.itch.io/branching-paths

[hollow compass]

Mine is a 2d shooter game. I'd also love some feedback! https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213244

[unreal plinth]

For the controls, do you have any suggestions for what type of response or feedback would've been good to give the player? Since it's not really an angle I considered much, but would've been quite good to keep in mind

[rocky glen]

wrong one

https://archi01.itch.io/deaths-ally

[signal monolith]

Something as simple as circle appearing in your destination position would make a lot of difference, and maybe some sound effect

[lavish escarp]

im getting ready to go out for the day but i saw this on my laptop and had a double take cuz that did not look like what it is for a moment

maybe im just fucked in the head

[cunning inlet]

If you enjoy a variety of gameplay, you should experience this~~
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[unreal plinth]

Ahh, so just something telling you what the character is currently in the middle of doing? Hadn't thought of that
Sound effects in general were quite last minute honestly, phoned them in as a last minute patch

Ideally there'd be a lot more sound effects and stuff, instead of just silence and music

[signal monolith]

yeah, that would make the game way more responsive, also maybe some smoothing on the movement, so even if the game is moving slow your character doesnt just slowly teleport

[hoary cargo]

Not Vedal doing a subgoal now

Ive been up for way over 48hrs now

[molten shadow]

itch still down?

[signal monolith]

I know that i'm asking for much, but I've didnt notice any way to check what keycards you have, maybe I'm dumb

[unreal plinth]

Teleporting camera was annoying me quite a bit, but I had to decide between fixing that or adding sound effects, and well.... I made my choice

[unreal plinth]

You didn't miss anything, there isn't one, there should've been one of course but I never got around to making it

[signal monolith]

well, it is a complete game you can beat, It's not the case for every submission so that's a huge accomplishment

[unreal plinth]

Thanks for all that feedback though!
Of course a jam game was gonna end up being a bit rough around the edges, but I hadn't even considered the idea of showing you what you're currently moving towards

[tardy geyser]

omg a shard game

[feral glade]

this is my first game, I know it could have better game, but its all I was able to do with given time and my skills

[sour horizon]

Yeeah, the cover image got set up very much in the last minute

[unreal plinth]

it would've been stupid easy to implement with my system too, just never thought about it

I'll be sure to implement it just for you if I end up going back to it to implement the Neuro SDK

[signal monolith]

game jam moment, I know it's probably a false positive cause windows IS STUPID

[signal monolith]

windows defender blocks your game, imma disable it ❤️

[waxen trail]

I'll also plug our game and go to sleep
https://superobot1.itch.io/sea-of-memories
Great night everyone, get some well deserved rest! The rating period is now upon us so we have to recharge to play everyone's games

Accidental link to my itchio dashboard (IP grabber)

[signal monolith]

I've noticed that for some reason godot games packed in zip are almost always treated as a virus by windows defender

but after unpacking they are fine lol

truly windows moment

[cerulean jetty]

xD

[sage canyon]

Plugging my teame's game as well I implemented a leaderboard system so I'm interested to see people's scores
https://woosle1234.itch.io/neuros-forgotten-memories

[tardy geyser]

lots of great games this year

remember to get your bulk of voting done! only 1 week to rate 'em all

[molten shadow]

only submitters can rate right?

not contributors

[tardy geyser]

that was how it worked last year, so i'd assume so

[molten shadow]

ah ok

[signal monolith]

it says in jam description that if you make a game as a team, you should vote as a team

[cerulean jetty]

Thank you for the reminder.

Notified the team to tell me what they want to vote for xD

[charred hamlet]

Are we doing shameless self-plugs again this year? 👀 If you guys get a moment in the mountain of games, do check out the game the team I was a part of made
https://ptrharmonic.itch.io/keepsakes

[fringe sail]

Unfortunately I can't play games in browser that require webgl 2.0

So basically games listed in unity or Godot I need a Windows download

[misty tree]

so cute!

[quaint grail]

I don't know what OS you're using, but it works on Arch with Firefox.

[charred hamlet]

Thanks! Our artists absolutely cooked on this one

[cerulean jetty]

There is usually no good reason to not update your browser.

[fringe sail]

I'm pretty sure it's a hardware limitation for me. I tried a game on my phone and on my dad's PC, and it worked on both. It froze on my dad's PC though, and my phone can only do left clicking, so I can't do games needing a keyboard.

Chrome for all of them

[cerulean jetty]

That may make sense. That was a guess I had.

[fringe sail]

Yeah. I did some research, and when I looked at chrome://gpu it said webgl 2 was unavailable, not disabled. I couldn't really make sense of anything else there though.

At least some of the play in browser games also have windows downloads

[rocky glen]

did vedal say if the games are going to be played live?

[wispy dagger]

last year some were played live

[rocky glen]

a lot of them too

[molten shadow]

Desktop icons i made for our silly little jam

[stone stump]

I tried doing honkai: star rail gameplay in 3 days but with neuro, it was pretty difficult yet i did it solo https://the-missing-bracket.itch.io/neuro-star-rail

[hollow compass]

Quick shameless plug for my game. It’s a 2d shooter similar to Vampire Survivors. I’d also love some feedback! https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213244

[cunning inlet]

I ended up creating way more portraits than I initially imagined, but I just couldn't stop myself cuz they look so good despite me thinking I had barely any artistic talent

You can find them all in action here:
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[signal monolith]

Time for my shameless plug is yet to come(that one streamer's delete post reply doesn't count)

[golden fjord]

Am I allowed to update the game title/description/ add collaborators now, even after submission time is over?

Not change the game, just the page

[cunning inlet]

Not sure about collaborators, but everything else absolutely

[cerulean jetty]

We did that. The uploads were not changed.

[cerulean jetty]

We had a few collaborators joining late, and I added them after the deadline.

[golden fjord]

Okay thank you!!!

[earnest wind]

haha classic TI calculator moment, I always forget how beefed up calculators are these days

[cunning inlet]

"Panic? Fast" sums up my game jam experience, from what Vedal just showed on stream lmao

[lavish escarp]

300 submissions is wild tho

I know we have a lot of folk in this community

But the scale of the swarm surprises me sometimes

[signal monolith]

Its a very good ratio compared to people that signed in

[sage sapphire]

Huh, I learned that the game I made is playable on mobile an unintended feature but I guess it works

[signal monolith]

Normally in bigger jams its like 10% right?

[lavish escarp]

This is my first game jam

I have no clue

[signal monolith]

Mine too

[lavish escarp]

I would've expected fewer submissions tho Jesus fuck

[signal monolith]

But signed into others and forgot about them xd

So its my frist jam that i actually submited to

[sage sapphire]

I'm also gonna do a shameless plug https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3212223 it's if inscription and balatro were one game

[lavish escarp]

Helluva experience

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830
Shameless plug

[signal monolith]

My time for shameless plugging will come

Gotta build this hype

Before shameless plug

[sage sapphire]

bigger game jams like the ones from gmtk can crash the itch.io servers

[signal monolith]

You know

Really proffesional

[lavish escarp]

Gamemakwers toolkit?

[sage sapphire]

and you'll barely have time to go through them all

[sage sapphire]

yes

[lavish escarp]

I don't think I can go through 300 games honestly

I've tried 7 so far

2 of them involved turtle sex

[sage sapphire]

I'm gonna for content farming

[signal monolith]

First game i tried was some assetflip garbage that got rejected from the jam before i could rate it xd

I think they spammed this game to many game jams

[sage sapphire]

if you had a nickel for everytime that happens than you have 2 nickels

[tardy geyser]

if this is real, can you DM them to @fleet goblet

[lavish escarp]

No, it's not nsfw, you breed combat turtles

It's mildly cursed but ultimately sfw

[tardy geyser]

ah ok, thank you for the clarification

[lavish escarp]

And honestly

[jagged iron]

He love it for sure

[tardy geyser]

that applies to everyone here too, if you see inappropriate submissions please report them

[old adder]

some fun games this time around honestly

[lavish escarp]

I finished the game, it was fun.

I hated that I finished it

[sage sapphire]

will keep that in mind

[signal monolith]

Ive seen one that was seemingly made for a different game jam, i reported it

[lavish escarp]

Also mod lurking

[sage sapphire]

[lavish escarp]

There WAS one that looked like entirely AI slop or built for a different jam yeah

[tardy geyser]

no mods here

[lavish escarp]

Forgot what it was called I was on the way out of the house

[tacit wasp]

I remember only seeing one game with a GenAI thumbnail of Neuro and a turtle, was it that one?

[lavish escarp]

I could probably find it but I'm in a lecture rn

Nah it was like a mobile survival game thumbnail, I was like "seems wholly unrelated, or not made for this jam"

[signal monolith]

There was also this really weird visual novel that was too majestic for my small brain to understand

[lavish escarp]

Very different from my (shameless plug)
Artisanal handcrafted game.

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830

[signal monolith]

STOP

[tacit wasp]

Speaking of unfitting games, I remember seeing a Deltarune fangame that was a mod of another Deltarune fangame
I should play it just to see what's going on with it

[lavish escarp]

Lmfao

[signal monolith]

Thats too shameless

[tacit wasp]

I wish I could play it but I think lacking a mouse makes it almost impossible to play

[lavish escarp]

How do you lack a mouse

[signal monolith]

Bruh

[misty tree]

laptop?

[tacit wasp]

Using a laptop with a tablet thing

[lavish escarp]

NGL, I'm using the same setup

It's playable

I'm on a laptop with an XP PEN G430 tablet

[tacit wasp]

When I said tablet, I meant the tactile thing that comes in it, not a graphical tablet

[lavish escarp]

Trackpad

In which case yeah fair enough

[slate mist]

guys I have question
I noticed i can place many submitter on submission how to do that?

[tacit wasp]

Yeah, that
My English isn't englishing

[slate mist]

I want credit my twammatess

[night jolt]

did vedal not have a game jam game this year?

[lavish escarp]

Whatb

[night jolt]

i cant find it

[lavish escarp]

What

[night jolt]

i didnt watch subathon idk what its called

[lavish escarp]

You can find it through (shameless plug) clicking on the game jam this is linked to https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830

[tacit wasp]

Oh yeah, Alex and Vedal both have their game too

[misty tree]

hmm, coulda sworn he was working on it on stream

[tacit wasp]

So shameless

[lavish escarp]

I downloaded Alexj's game

Haven't tried it

[misty tree]

oh god wait, this one was vedal's

[lavish escarp]

I can get more shameless

Oh that was vedals?

I thought someone was shitting on vedal lmfao

[misty tree]

now my review feels really stupid LOL

[cerulean jetty]

That is true, it was Neuro doing that.

[lavish escarp]

Oh did she think up the title?

[cerulean jetty]

Yes.

[lavish escarp]

Vibes

Am Vod watcher, I will probably see that part sometime soon

[cerulean jetty]

That is what I remember between losing my mind and writing the code for the jam >.<

[lavish escarp]

Have not watched the subathon clips/vods at all over the game jam

[tacit wasp]

They both made it in Unity so I can expect my laptop to shit itself
Man why must the gamejam happens when I don't have access to my actual PC

[night jolt]

i foudn

[lavish escarp]

Same I made it on my laptop

Thank fuck my laptop is decent

[misty tree]

yknow, that explains why thats the most played submission

[lavish escarp]

Did not have HALF the tools my desktop has tho

[misty tree]

i was wondering why it was so popular when it didnt seem to stand out in any significant way

[lavish escarp]

Mean

Imma try it later tho

Real life gets in the way

[tacit wasp]

Mine is outdated and normally made for high school so games aren't very nice with it
And I'm not in high school anymore so I'm surprised it's still working years after, I would expect those things to break the day after you get your diploma lmao

[pulsar stag]

guys, you cant edit the game once you submit and time ends right?

i was soo stressed i forgot to mention u could interact doors pressing E

[misty tree]

i believe thats correct

[lavish escarp]

I just got mine this year cuz my old one has issues, overspecced cuz I'm in engineering and need engi software to run on it, ran unity like a dream

[tacit wasp]

I don't think so?

[misty tree]

u could probably still edit the description? just not the uploads i assume

[pulsar stag]

i also forgot to add invisible walls to dont leave map-

i got cooked

never used pygame before

[lavish escarp]

I just added visible walls

[pulsar stag]

and i avoided using AI the most possible

[lavish escarp]

Except in the menu screen, cuz that was pretty funny, to allow people to just leave the screen

You can see it for yourself in (shameless plug)
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830

[toxic trout]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213324 A Miku who can’t sing reference!!! (not my submission)

[pulsar stag]

at least i can rename the game title that appears at submissions, it was just "GameJam 2024"
i was like 20 mins before going into a forest trip of 4+ hours

soo i would loose the submission thing, no doubt

[tacit wasp]

Good thing about my game is that I didn't need any walls. Points and clicks are nice to do in 3 days
btw you should play it (shameless plug moment or something) and be the 6th download maybe: https://simbel.itch.io/stream-of-memories

[pale iron]

Remember that if there is a bug in your game it’s not a bug but a feature

[lavish escarp]

I need to add a bug explanation to the game post on itch

[pulsar stag]

you did it alone? i might check the games later

pygame is interesting, but i was managing soundtrack, images, frames and keyinputs all by myself

[tacit wasp]

I did the programming in LOVE2D, @broken pollen did all the wonderful art

[pulsar stag]

i also forgot to turn my main.py into an executable, however there is a requirement.txt that shows the pygame version

i think they dont mind right?

[cunning inlet]

I did my whole game alone as well, and it has lots of content for being made within 72 hours
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[lavish escarp]

Yk what else is hilariously goated

[pulsar stag]

[misty tree]

thinking about it, i wonder what percent of people will even notice that our start menu art and end of game art arent quite the same 🤔 theyre so similar that it feels like it could be easy to miss

[lavish escarp]
