[lament ermine]

I like it

[cunning inlet]

yeah I think so as well, I like it

[winter aurora]

we had "Title" in the main menu until more or less the last hours

[cunning inlet]

speaking of which, check out Evil's Malice if you haven't yet:
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[lament ermine]

I put Title as a placeholder and completely forgot about it

[tacit wasp]

I named the game Stream of Memories because "stream" can both means the Twitch stream and a flow of something, like memories

[nimble dew]

Bruh these constant plugs here...

A lot of games are very unfinished...

[lavish escarp]

dawg calm down

[lament ermine]

I think that's totally normal

[lavish escarp]

were just some idiots with godot/unity and 72 hours cut us some slack

[violet surge]

keep plugging just to spite this user

[winter aurora]

Talking about game plug. did you tested our game TroubleShooting

[cunning inlet]

I'm tryharding now so I don't have to tryhard later

[lament ermine]

it's actually insane to expect every game to be a fully polished masterpiece nominee for game of the year award

[void parcel]

lava lamps are all the rage these days

[hasty drift]

the art sure is spooky

[nimble dew]

Maybe I just had three very unfinished ones in a row. The first I played was a pretty decent tower defence game.

[lavish escarp]

makes it all the more impressive that (shameless plug) is a full game https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830

[lament ermine]

we has Lorx on our team

our other artist cooked as well

[tacit wasp]

My game was a black void with numbered dots for about 48 hours so I'd say I did fine with the final result thanks to Ettol's art

[lament ermine]

Jakyc

I need to make more of an effort to remember names

[misty tree]

imma play your game now

[hasty drift]

I couldnt be happier with the art from the artist in my team

[tacit wasp]

[lavish escarp]

Rolling girl best Evil song btw

evil has a bunch of fucking bangers

[lament ermine]

what about Virus

[tacit wasp]

Crazy Fucking Robot Body for the win

[lavish escarp]

Virus goes hard

[hasty drift]

nothing can beat crazy fucking robot body

[lament ermine]

yeah yeah destroy you

https://tenor.com/view/cfrb-crazy-fuckin-robot-body-neuro-sama-neurosama-ironmouse-gif-15704544124849349382

[lavish escarp]

Terminal
Virus
LEO
Brick by boring brick

Rolling Girl

[lavish escarp]

did you know : theres a reference to CFRB in hit game (shameless plug) https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830

[hasty drift]

i have too many tabs of games to play open

[cunning inlet]

speaking of banger songs, I made Vedal & Neuro sing another duet in my game, which is the "banger idea" I had a while ago, and I just barely made it come true

[lavish escarp]

also im only now realising i recognise where your pfp is from bro jesus fuck lmfao

thats a wild ass piece of contemporary media

[hasty drift]

its a cute anime girl face for all that matters

[winter aurora]

I'm soo used to play osu mania 4k with qslm that is was hard unsing the directional key for me

[lament ermine]

you have my curiosity

[lavish escarp]

i cant unsee it

[violet surge]

you need 3+ browsers open

[misty tree]

I do like Virus a lot, and I remember seeing Vedal complaining people didn't love it as much as he did, but I think the reason for that is just that bit in the middle is so different that it feels like a different voice and it doesnt feel like Evil singing it

[hasty drift]

i have 2 open, one for the games, one for the stream

[cunning inlet]

I've used DFJK myself, but I kept it simple with the arrows. It's not a complex song anyway so should be fine xd

[misty tree]

the rest of the song besides that is fantastic

[tacit wasp]

I'm gonna go for new year things now so I may not look at Discord that much for today, anyway play Stream of Memories if you haven't :D
https://simbel.itch.io/stream-of-memories

[hasty drift]

my bar looks similar

[lavish escarp]

i think that part of the song goes hard too fwiw

[lament ermine]

I just brought it up because of Vedal complaining

(i do like it tho)

[cunning inlet]

did you know you can press Ctrl+D to bookmark tabs? You can also save links in a .txt file

[winter aurora]

say that to my ~50 miss (I think 50 ?)

[lavish escarp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT932Ox1ErU

[misty tree]

its not that it doesnt go hard, I just can't hear it as Evil singing

[lavish escarp]

i can ngl, and tbf songs use voice effects like that all the time

[old adder]

any farmers?

[lavish escarp]

is that the powerscaling uno

[old adder]

yes

[lavish escarp]

vibes

[misty tree]

but ya im a big fan of neuro karaoke overall :3 I even made a karaoke sim before the game jam just to mess around

i can even do things like nightcore the songs that should be nightcore

[lament ermine]

when do the numbers just become NaN

[old adder]

oh frick it ends at round 100

i cant play any more cards

[cunning inlet]

I've completed it with 100% accuracy. I should make you be able to sing it again in v1.1

[lament ermine]

aw

[old adder]

wait nvm im dumb

it doesnt end

[lament ermine]

yay!

[lavish escarp]

it goes hard imo

there are legitimately some songs that i prefer neuro or evil's versions to the original

[misty tree]

that lemons song has cringe lyrics but i love how it sounds

[lavish escarp]

and not just because im a degen swarm member who swore my allegiance to them either

[old adder]

[lavish escarp]

i know the one

came up on autoplay today while i was cooking

[wild condor]

Did you overflow the integer?

[misty tree]

also i really love A Disease Called Love, the funny sounds no human could make in that song make it really extra special

[lavish escarp]

i was like well this is a teen breakup song innit but then i was like yk what it does alright

[old adder]

yes looks like it

[lament ermine]

wot, 1 million

[hasty drift]

Life needs at least 2.5m views

[lavish escarp]

https://youtu.be/8vGjxPwfjmw

also top shit

[lament ermine]

NeuroCheer

[old adder]

crazy fucking robot body

[lavish escarp]

i dont usually like the genre of crazy fucking robot body but its grown on me

[old adder]

[lavish escarp]

jesus fuck

buddy

[misty tree]

yea i think my issue with the lyrics is the if it was just the girl singing about how the guy sucks and she doesnt need him, thats normal enough.
but once the guy starts singing too about how hes an insecure pathetic little soy boy that just wants to take her down for no reason, it starts getting cringe

[lavish escarp]

yeah im neither here nor there on modern romance songs lmfao

[lament ermine]

I rarely listen to the lyrics

music is just beeps and boops to me

except mili and stupendium

[lavish escarp]

i just listen to weeb shit

[old adder]

alright i beat the game for real so time to go outside

[lament ermine]

it's time to go sleep for me

gnight o/

[lavish escarp]

night

[cunning inlet]

Speaking of banger Neuro songs, this is one of my personal favorites (definitely not biased because I created this in my game jam submission I swear)

[rotund rampart]

How is it possible that I’m top 4 most rated, but super far down in popularity

[tepid cove]

putting ddr in places where it shouldn't be is a hobby of mine as well

[waxen trail]

It's a shame I can't replay that without replaying the entire game because otherwise I would've

but also lore accurate

[cunning inlet]

yeah I really wanna add that in v1.1

[nimble dew]

My favorite game so far: Fragmented. Very cute and well done but not a lot of gameplay going on. Just kind of an innovative Visual Novel with Yoshi's Island / Paper Mario vibes.

[cunning inlet]

I was a bit tight on schedule and it did not come to mind during the jam 😅

My game is #27 most rated and #33 most popular o: Didn't even realize you can sort by those two categories already, I thought that only unlocked after the ratings

[lavish escarp]

imma head to bed too

lemme just

(shameless plug) https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211830

before i head to bed

[hasty drift]

hows the balatro fan game called?

[cunning inlet]

somehow both of our games are literally right next to each other in terms of popularity

[sour horizon]

Hmm puzzle games might not be my strong suit lol

[hasty drift]

oh no, colors

[cunning inlet]

You can do it

[winged hull]

well, how about getting neuro to help you with with the puzzle? (shameless plug, realized I haven't done it yet ) https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3212755

[winter aurora]

I took more time than I like to admit solving it

[sour horizon]

yay!

[signal monolith]

I haven't plugged my game in a while: https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211560
If you like edgy katana slashing action, and love evil, you'll love this game

[torpid bridge]

Popularity tag kinda sucks a bit because if people are only playing the top popular games, they won't give the other games a try

Btw our game is 13th most rated

Go play it if you haven't and rate it if you can! https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[cunning inlet]

honestly, maybe I just haven't looked hard enough, but I haven't really seen any 2d stealth games that involve sneaking around vision ranges

I really enjoyed "The Classroom Trilogy" flash games back in the day

which is what I based it off of

[waxen trail]

That section was great lol

I'll plug our game once again, please give it a try if you haven't!
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3212532

[south hazel]

i see great games up there

[cunning inlet]

also, wanna see something extremely stupid but functional I created in my game?

[south hazel]

can anyone give me good ones that i can try? u can selfplug

[cunning inlet]

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

[sour horizon]

Plug time? Why, here you go: https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213260

[hollow compass]

If we’re doing plugs rn then here mine. https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213244

[cunning inlet]

It's very good, and not just because it's mine (self plug), but others can also confirm ^^

[sour horizon]

I certainly did not expect that Anny scene

[cunning inlet]

That's my favorite part about making games: throwing the player into unexpected scenarios that leaves a memorable impact on them xdd

[tacit wasp]

Not too surprised, I think you two are the ones who plugged your games the most here lmao

[cunning inlet]

yeah, I have PTSD from last year where Alex was suddenly like "if your game has less than average amount of ratings, your score gets penalized" so I started to plug my game at every occasion

now I'm doing it early so I can feel at ease later

[tacit wasp]

Wait what

[copper ibex]

https://adesi.itch.io/past-destiny i heard this one is very good (totally not mine)

[cunning inlet]

yeah, adjustment = sqrt(min(median, votes_received) / median), as per the formula Alex conjured

[winter aurora]

this is why rating low rated game is a good thing to do !

[tacit wasp]

Damn I need to be more shameless

[hasty drift]

people will rate low rated games or games that they like, votes will come in naturally that way, its only the first day of rating still

last time the rating period got extended

[tacit wasp]

Gonna do that tomorrow
I wanted to start doing that today but I woke up late and now I'm out for New Year's Eve

[cunning inlet]

so e.g. if the median ratings is 25 per game, and your game has 23 ratings, your total game score gets reduced by 4%

[tacit wasp]

How many votes do Vedal and Alex's games have?

[cunning inlet]

idk if we'll have this happen again this year, but I'm preparing for it just in case

[winter aurora]

actually its closer to 4.08%

[cunning inlet]

close enough

[placid salmon]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3207559

I only plugged my game before the jam started so...

[winter aurora]

(dw it was a joke )

[copper ibex]

vedal's has 22

[azure light]

Where can we check out the games? 🤔 [game jam website thingy]

[misty tree]

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

[copper ibex]

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

[azure light]

Thanks!

I'll go try out a bunch

[tacit wasp]

Oh dear

[copper ibex]

btw sorting the games by Most Karma is probably the way to go. they are basically entries by people who have rated a bunch of games. so its nice to reward rating games

[misty tree]

does it necessarily matter how many total ratings you get? isnt your end score just like an average

[tacit wasp]

Apparently yes ^

[copper ibex]

it matters assuming you are way below median since you'll get penalised for having not enough ratings

[hasty drift]

imagine a game got only 1 rating and that 1 rating is all 5*, should that game be 1st place? that is why games below average rating get a penalty or smth smth algorithm

[misty tree]

i see

[waxen trail]

Just played your game final bossfight was tough as heck so I cheesed it by just going for the pipes and ignoring everything else lol

[signal monolith]

basically the intended way

lol

THANK YOU

[tacit wasp]

Oh I need to play your game too
I should have made a list I can access on my phone lmao

[signal monolith]

@waxen trail btw did you try to press "p" during the game? Also which version did you play? Web, windows, or windows no vulkan?

[waxen trail]

We and no p

*web

[signal monolith]

ok, cool

[waxen trail]

I mean that's a pic of my browser haha

[signal monolith]

if you press "p" during a game you get a cool surprsie

[sage canyon]

just found out a bug in my game and realize my game is unbeatable

[signal monolith]

I'm blind

xd

[waxen trail]

xdddd

[waxen trail]

Ok the surprise is cool

It was worth

[signal monolith]

I would be very happy if you give it a try, I've put a lot of work into it
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211560

[rocky glen]

https://archi01.itch.io/deaths-ally spamming a lil bit

[wild condor]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213226?before=7#post-11706729

Most fun game I have played thus far

[quick badger]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213180
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3212713
Those are my faves for now

[misty tree]

bruh, this wheel, rip the subathon, what a horrible mechanic XD

[waxen trail]

xDDD

No wheels next subathon plox

Tbh it should've been capped

[misty tree]

it literally only works out if its like, psuedorng

[hasty drift]

if you think your game jam game mechanics are jank, just remember about the subathon wheel

[waxen trail]

TRUE!! 👆

[misty tree]

if it goes too positive, its bad cuz people make your subathon take forever while its up
if it goes too negative, the subathon just ends for no reason

and if it stays too in the middle, it doesnt feel like it matters

[hasty drift]

there are better algorithms

[misty tree]

so its just.... bad all around

[placid salmon]

The moral of the story is that gambling is bad

[waxen trail]

I feel like we've learned a lot today

[misty tree]

"we reap what we sow" -vedal
we? XD who wanted this wheel besides vedal lol

[quick badger]

plot twist: it was rigged to prevent abandonned archive from getting released

[hasty drift]

abandoned subathon

[waxen trail]

[tacit wasp]

At least we got Evil's original song
But damn

[waxen trail]

Kind reminder that rulings matter more than harsh adherence to rules in tabletop RPGs

Fun and experience matter more than harsh balancing

[misty tree]

hes spinning again at midnight

its going to zero

[waxen trail]

Copium

[tacit wasp]

"I want the subathon to continue as well"
DITCH THE WHEEL

[waxen trail]

Yeah it's that easy xD

Even zero is not necessarily super likely

With how many negative numbers there are

[misty tree]

you CAN decide "wheel was a bad idea, guess we're scrapping it and going back to the system last year"

[waxen trail]

It's a wheel you can literally roll it away 😔

[tacit wasp]

Maybe he should have started spinning the wheel later

Honestly I was surprised when I saw him spinning it the first time, it felt super early compared to last year

[south hazel]

I finished playing Abandoned Pub again and Vedal fucking pulled a -7

[hasty drift]

theme of this subathon is "abandoned"

[misty tree]

I think I understand his rationale behind why he wanted a wheel.
It removes the feeling that Vedal is choosing when to lower the time to kill the subathon.
It also can't be consistently going down because then there would be FOMO to sub as much as possible early on, since you know it just keeps going down from the start

the main issue is just that some of the options were much too extreme tbh

[civic fractal]

It's on the theme

[waxen trail]

This subathon is going to be a remnant of the past in no time

[hasty drift]

remnant of vedals subathon

[buoyant flower]

Should've ran a long simulation and estimated a 95% confidence interval of the length of the subathon

[hasty drift]

fitting to remnant of vedals coding ability

[misty tree]

hmmm, +24 hours if lava lamps funded

the part im not clear about though, was a lava lamp supposedly a prize for winning game jam? or is that not a thing

[small radish]

lava lamp was a prize. i'm not sure what vedal does if a team of like 10 people win though

[misty tree]

While i dont expect to win, if theres any chance to win one, itd feel silly to win one after buying one, so idk if i should buy one lol

[cunning inlet]

I assume it'll be 1 lava lamp per submission tho to maintain fairness, and each team has to choose who receives it

[misty tree]

at the end of the day, my game was only possible thanks to the whole community, so I guess the whole swarm is really my team. Time to begin the Vedal's debt situation 2.0

[fringe star]

i need to ask, how does one recieve said lava lamp?

[small radish]

you got until the 10th of feb to buy one so you can just wait until after the game jam is done

[small radish]

neuro dog delivery

[misty tree]

yea but if we want to contribute to fully funding it for +24 hours it prob has to be soon haha

[small radish]

true lol

[civic fractal]

At least in our case half of our team already bought/planning on buying one.

[tacit wasp]

Gotta make you win so everyone get a free lava lamp

[fringe star]

wait i need to know cuz i dont think i can afford shipping

[small radish]

i would assume all costs are covered if you win one

also shipping is just 10 bucks as far as i've understood

[fringe star]

how many can be won?

[tacit wasp]

Not sure about that ngl

[small radish]

a great deal really. you'd be a fool to not buy at least 3

[tacit wasp]

customs would probably kick my ass anyway

[cunning inlet]

and in my case I literally can't afford one, so it'd be nice to receive a code, but I'll also be fine without one

[tacit wasp]

If I don't win I'll just use the Christmas money I got
Surely my family will love to know I wasted almost 100€ into a fancy lava lamp

[waxen trail]

I recall Vedal promising a prize to whoever won the last jam and AFAIK there wasn't been anything (though I might be wrong lol) so not holding out hope but happy with the jam submission and experience, and that's what really counts

[misty tree]

true lol

[manic marten]

hello everyone we have submited our game but not a lot of people rated it, so we decided to ask here for yall to play it
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3212715

[cunning inlet]

this was the first year where I got no presents for xmas, but I'm enjoying the subathon (and game jam) which is nice

[charred hamlet]

to be fair there wasn't a promise of prizes, it was "prizes for the winners maybe??" because vedal wasn't really communicating with alex iirc

[waxen trail]

You're totally right

[south hazel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDi0X-KKb2k

[misty tree]

theres so many cute entries this year!

[south hazel]

@past meadow

[tacit wasp]

Added to my list
And by list, I just mean yet another browser tab

[south hazel]

sorry for the lag in these videos btw, i really tried fighting the lag spike

[tacit wasp]

Oh this one looks cute too

[past meadow]

[sage sapphire]

good morning everyone another day, a lot of games to rate

[hasty drift]

more games than subathon time

[sage sapphire]

thank you for trying out my game

[cerulean jetty]

It also crashed in a loop spamming hearts.

[sage sapphire]

[cerulean jetty]

The perfect crash.

[sage sapphire]

ngl that one's just sounds in character

[tardy geyser]

i also used game time to measure subathon time! it was a highlight to see game jam games played on stream last year

[past meadow]

Lmao, the timer on the safe is fps bound, it takes you so long to take the lavalamp out
(That's actually my bad, I didn't have time to look for a proper solution, so I did it javascript style )

[tardy geyser]

hopefully he gets around to play some entries, a lot of you cooked

[south hazel]

ARE YOU-

[cerulean jetty]

I wanted this, because it is not a kind of game I like.

[south hazel]

naw thats crazy

[cerulean jetty]

One could say that it is messed up.

[waxen trail]

I'll try to add SDK support soon too so Neuro could maybe play my game once Vedal returns

[rotund rampart]

falling behind on rates, guess its time to shameless plug again https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213059

[old adder]

subathon continues til all games are played

[past meadow]

I was a "back up" dev, I was basically just picking up all the minor tasks to give our main dev more time

[civic fractal]

Time to rate more games

[sage sapphire]

Same but after I fix a lot of bugs in the game

[south hazel]

yall cooked tho

[south hazel]

frfr

i think it was kinda shitty if i submitted my silly game there so thats part of the reason why i procastinated

[past meadow]

Ye, miraculously we managed our time properly, although we were a bit overambitios, hence the lack of the second ending

[tardy geyser]

i've learnt that nobody would comment anything too mean! people are really nice here

[old adder]

https://jwapobie.itch.io/unhando is this legimately the best game of the jam

i cant stop playing

[sage sapphire]

GOTY worthy

[placid salmon]

Game jams score usually are the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer, I predict the most rated game currently will reach 60 ratings in one or two days.

[tardy geyser]

that's true! which is why you should definitely rate some games from the pinned list

[misty tree]

true, some people do just wanna play all the best ones

[south hazel]

alr off to a great start

[old adder]

ive been just playing in browser at least

[south hazel]

alr lemme close discord brb

[old adder]

been doing that, sadly many that just dont run or are windows-only

[tacit wasp]

> 20 rates
> Falling behind
> I have 6 rates

[misty tree]

as in you prefer browser? or do you have like a mac or something

[old adder]

linux but yeah

[placid salmon]

I'm only playing the lowest rated games, I'm rating like 19.

[civic fractal]

I'm also having the browser issue. linux as well

[tacit wasp]

Wine doesn't work?

[sage sapphire]

I'm likely on that list, as far as I'm concerned the only thing playable in my game is the main menu

[winged jay]

is this what gambling looks like

[old adder]

yeah unfortunately :(

[old adder]

i have 7

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211255 go rate

[hasty drift]

1.3k ratings yay

[sage sapphire]

we have the same rating scores

[waxen wasp]

Isnt that impossible?

[old adder]

total ratings i guess

[waxen wasp]

Oh

[small radish]

still at just 3 ratings , will plug mine here one time and then leave it to fate. It's very simple but technically infinitely repayable. also playable in browser so that's neat https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213225

[waxen wasp]

I thought only people that submitted a game could rate

[misty tree]

hmm, i assume its possible for gamemaker to build stuff for linux but i have no idea how that would work xD

[tacit wasp]

And that's another tab created

[misty tree]

are you abl to play browser games?

[old adder]

yeah browser just makes it easiest

[misty tree]

maybe i could look into how to do that

[old adder]

yes, i can play browser (see how im playing this unhando thing )

[sage sapphire]

I think the way itch.io counts it is one game can have 279 ratings if everyone voted

[charred hamlet]

as someone who devs on Linux, I always make sure we have a linux port up
I feel your pain

[old adder]

i could probably try proton buuuut i cant be bothered

[charred hamlet]

tbh Godot is super easy to export to linux

[civic fractal]

Ours also works as it is still a browser thing.

[sage sapphire]

if this is the case and everyone rated each other's games, it's possible we can get a total of 77,841 ratings

[sage canyon]

Praying right now that alex will let me reupload and fix my bug so player can experience the ending

[charred hamlet]

we just have an auto-publish buildtrain for win, linux and browser

[old adder]

i didnt want to try learning godot+new language in 72 hours so i just made a build for win+linux+mac

but browser wouldve been poggers

[sage sapphire]

added that to my list

[charred hamlet]

To be fair, if you know python, GDScript is basically that

[old adder]

also if you play it please leave some critical feedback too! i want to learn what sucks

[old adder]

true, just not really used to ECS style, kivy is event-based so i can just drop in and go

[tacit wasp]

Shameless plug time, my game has a web version (just don't try to quit the game)
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211795

[civic fractal]

Anyone want the bundle
It is on a hefty discount

[nimble dew]

What bundle?

[small radish]

is he gonna need more divorces?

[civic fractal]

Probably

[violet surge]

I counter your plug with a plug
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213213

[sage sapphire]

welp, I think I have enough to spare

[civic fractal]

uhhhh

How many did you get?

[torpid bridge]

I counter both your plugs with a plug https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[violet surge]

fine I'll play your game again

[sage sapphire]

I was waiting for next month when I get my work funds cuz I'm kinda short on funds due to christmas and new years

[south hazel]

https://youtu.be/_SwhvTuNXnU

[tacit wasp]

Is the goal of Neuro Games to play every submitted game?

[south hazel]

yea

except the ones with no neuro

[tacit wasp]

Fair and pretty cool

Allow me to subscribe

[south hazel]

thanks

[civic fractal]

I can't believe your doing this for the second year. Best of luck to you!

[tacit wasp]

Damn the Rolling Girl video is age-restricted

[civic fractal]

Factual infomation right here

[south hazel]

youtube rejected the appeal too

[south hazel]

i played this game before but the recording got fucked cus of the lag spikes, here's a thumbnail i made tho

[civic fractal]

That is the realest thumbnail for this game

[old adder]

is this enough health to survive

[south hazel]

this game too

[south hazel]

probably

[civic fractal]

I need to play this balatro clone once I'm done with this ome

[old adder]

|| ||

[misty tree]

ugh yea i have no idea how to build for browser :c it keeps failing

[tacit wasp]

Wrong Alex

[sage canyon]

damn my bad

[civic fractal]

Hopefully you remembered to copy the text

[sage canyon]

yea I dont wanna dm but hopefully he sees my community post

[civic fractal]

You should be Dming

[sage canyon]

oh damn didnt see thank you

[civic fractal]

It's in the pins

[misty tree]

OH SNAP WAIT MAYBE IT DOES WORK

[hoary cargo]

Bro at least don't delete, been looking for 5 minutes where the hell I got pinged from xD

whoops

Pinged wrong person

[tacit wasp]

Damn, I finally found a bug in my game and I think it's pretty much random when the tubes go down
Well fuck

[misty tree]

@old adder I think I got it working, the resolutions a bit borked but the game seems to run in browser!

https://holymuffin.itch.io/a-bandoned-rchive-browser-test

[sage canyon]

sorry about that

[tacit wasp]

Careful, that might be against the rules

[small radish]

damn, hurt people hurt people huh

[past meadow]

Except if it's Vedal

[nimble dew]

When it's like one day after the game jam and you get one great idea after the other 🙄

[old adder]

i dont think so https://itch.io/jam/neuro/topic/4428588/missed-deadline-showcase

[misty tree]

what kind of rule do you mean?

[hoary cargo]

To every action there's an equal reaction, the reaction just hit the wrong person

[tacit wasp]

[misty tree]

im not really sure what kind of rule this might be a problem for

[civic fractal]

It's not wrong, the whole edits after the deadline thing.

[tacit wasp]

Well there's a rule that you can't change or resubmit your game after the deadline, right?

[misty tree]

i didnt edit my game or anything, i just made a seperate itch.io project

[hoary cargo]

Which is 100% ok

[copper ibex]

but you aren't allowed to link to it in your submission im pretty sure.

[tacit wasp]

Huh

[hoary cargo]

That yes (at least I'd assume tho)

[civic fractal]

I remember that being explicitly not allowed

[hasty drift]

loud game with no volume slider

[small radish]

this is why games with no audio should get at least 2 stars in audio

[copper ibex]

[civic fractal]

You sould be able to turn down the browser

[hasty drift]

i did

[misty tree]

hmmmmm i see what ur saying, but also like this isnt that
its the same game, no updates, just builds for browser. and its not linked in my submission, surely its fine?

[civic fractal]

also DANG IT TUTEL

[copper ibex]

im not a mod... i can't tell you

[tacit wasp]

It feels like a gray area to me

[tardy geyser]

realistically we have no way to tell, so i'd wager it's not allowed. but @fleet goblet will be able to answer definitively

[misty tree]

hmmmm

[civic fractal]

Reminds me of one of the pinned messages atm

[misty tree]

I guess i see what you mean, I suppose I can't prove I didnt change anything about the project?

[tardy geyser]

[old adder]

[misty tree]

oh well then, i guess @old adder dont rate it based off that, just try it out if you wanna

[old adder]

its not in the description so i think its fine

but yeah i wont rate it still

[misty tree]

unless we get any answers that difer from alex

[old adder]

glad to have played it tho!

[misty tree]

but yea i get their point now

[fringe star]

can i ask, how many is the minimum, amount of games required to rate?

[misty tree]

i dont think there is a minimum

[copper ibex]

its the median of all votes basically.

[hasty drift]

ye there is no strict rule that you HAVE to rate. most rate because they want to

[small radish]

if we catch you rating less than 20 you're in big trouble

[cunning inlet]

if you play a game, it would be nice to leave a rating, but yeah it's not required

[copper ibex]

i will try to rate every Play in Browser game... sorry for all the non-browser games

[placid salmon]

If you don't play and rate all the games of the jam Neuro will cry

[cunning inlet]

although what could be interesting is having someone stream playing various games and you can watch them and then rate the experience based on that

[torpid bridge]

Popular filter is not the best for actually finding good games,

[tacit wasp]

That's what Neuro Games is trying to do

[cunning inlet]

I would stream myself if my upload speed wasn't slower than a snail trying to go forwards on a turtle that's going backwards

[fringe star]

it is the best for finding abandoned pub

[small radish]

That's the pubular filter

[fringe star]

theres "keepsakes", cant believe i got teary eyed seeing old vedal

[copper ibex]

im doing the karma filter. since that shows people that rated the most

[sage sapphire]

I've been doing that as well, just not posting it here

[cunning inlet]

I have 0 karma so far cuz I've been taking a little break, but I'll get to rating with the next 2 days

[torpid bridge]

Ours is the 13th most rated game so far

[cunning inlet]

Please do feel free to rate my game even with my current lack of karma rn tho ^^
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

[tacit wasp]

This game's ending is so bittersweet man

[sage sapphire]

+24 hours on subathon

[tacit wasp]

Let's fucking gooo

[charred hamlet]

Glad to see people enjoying our game

[rotund rampart]

anyone from the fragmented team?

[old adder]

karma?

[misty tree]

karma is a way to sort game jam submissions based on how many games you have rated I think

[old adder]

oh interesting

#16 baybeee

[waxen trail]

Just played your game, it's gud

[fringe star]

just played troubleshooting, is anny the only enemy so far?

[waxen wasp]

My plug got blocked by automod

[old adder]

[tardy geyser]

it did read like what i'd get in my junk mail

[waxen wasp]

[misty tree]

been a bit since ive plugged c: https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211665

[signal monolith]

Also play my game, evil says it's spinning time and spins all over the enemies with her cool katana.
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211560

[old adder]

btw i thought it was gonna be like guitar hero or something

[misty tree]

loool how was it

[civic fractal]

Yeah I haven't plugged today

[waxen wasp]

The team made a full song at the end, we're gonna release it on youtube.
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213324

[signal monolith]

I've seen your plug couple of times already, I think I'm gonna play it now.

[old adder]

fiiiine, was a bit weird that enemies respawned, and it was pretty short. but cool enemy design and i like

[signal monolith]

Disclaimer: I haven't played real abandoned archive

[waxen wasp]

Thats very possible, cuz iirc it hasnt been released yet

[signal monolith]

Isn't there a demo or smth?

[misty tree]

dang tho how in the world did I get 1k downloads last jam, that number looks so unrealistic now

[waxen wasp]

Ye

[old adder]

idk if you care, but on the web version at least if you alt-tab (or press esc i guess) out and then back in, the mouse cursor shows and then you cant turn once it reaches an edge. to fix you need to open the pause menu and then CLICK the resume button

[misty tree]

disclaimer, i havent played it either, i just watched the trailer a bunch of times to reference for how to make the game look and feel

stuff like the silly ui, or the ground tiles, or the camera being kinda jank and moving towards your mouse LOL

or the little pointers towards enemies offscreen

[old adder]

oh yea the pointers were nice to have, especially in the "bomb" part!

[signal monolith]

Yeah, I know about that, I've read your comment, I've made this game mainly as the windows version, web version was an afterthought

[misty tree]

yea haha if i didnt have those id have made the bomb part much smaller

[old adder]

yeah i just wanted to clarify since i read your last reply

[old adder]

i was really excited to play minesweeper and then it was just that though

[misty tree]

haha, it was a bit of a joke since there was just bombs everywhere xD

[signal monolith]

-Hello Evil
-Hello Neuro
PEAK DIALOG

[misty tree]

i def didnt have time at that point to make real minesweeper

[misty tree]

annys dialogue acutally changes if u talk to her a second time before u leave the room heh

[old adder]

i did that by accident because i was pressing space to get dialogue to appear faster

[misty tree]

haha

i guess i could make a bit of a cooldown before u can talk to npcs again to prevent that

[south hazel]

amazing game, even made a video thumbnail for it (spoilers, probably)

[royal jewel]

It's pretty cool that we did manage to pull it off
Really using the full power of Neuro and Evil RVC

[waxen wasp]

The song does slap

I feel bad for the people that wont hear it

[placid salmon]

Somebody submitted a game called abandoned archive 2 and it's just abandoned archive, I think this is plagiarism

Probably it's just a joke but I didn't enjoy the game

[royal jewel]

Yeah, it's extremely

[waxen wasp]

Abandoned archive will be released after this one, so it doesnt count

[misty tree]

oh huh wait like that ones litearlly just the abandoned archive demo?

[south hazel]

i spent 35 minutes trying to 100% a game

[placid salmon]

Yes, literally, I haven't played the demo but I think it's literally the same

[cunning inlet]

neuroHyperYay

[royal jewel]

Well, hopefully after the YouTube release more people will be able to listen to it or something like that
It is certainly really really good

[misty tree]

the screenshots do seem to literally be it

[royal jewel]

We really cooked on the song

[waxen wasp]

I was playing a platformer where the checkpoints didnt work, went all the way to the start when i died. It was painfull

[waxen wasp]

Im gonna fix the game and re-release it after the voting

[royal jewel]

I assume to fix all the scuff that is there due to the speedrun we had to do at the end

[waxen wasp]

Ye

The cutscenes barely function

Im also gonna add touchscreen buttons, cuz it does work on mobile

[buoyant flower]

In general, I recommend people to give feedback in comments - while nothing is fixable at this point, things can be fixed after voting is over.

[waxen wasp]

True

[royal jewel]

The fact that we were able to pull off an original song on our game jam game with the Neuros just shows how good Neuro and Evil RVC is
Pretty cool

[waxen wasp]

I havent played many games yet, but ive seen ones where the embed size isnt the same size as godot uses for rendering, so you have to zoom in on the page to see.
Ive seen games that use ZQSD instead of WASD.

Small mistakes but it does hurt the gameplay

[misty tree]

kinda sounds like we should report it if that is the case, u cant just upload stuff you didnt make to a game jam even if its funny

[signal monolith]

yeah, I've just reported it

[violet surge]

did u submit a game?

[waxen trail]

Yeah, made a game with GrabThatBread!
https://superobot1.itch.io/sea-of-memories

[violet surge]

will play 🎆

[waxen trail]

Hope you enjoy it

[old adder]

its good

evil best

[waxen trail]

Evil & double camilas

But I'm making a post-jam & neuro SDK version where it's not as powerful (changing the final boss to have 1 dmg and 999 hp)

Glad you liked it though

[old adder]

actually my first 3 tiles or something first run

[rotund rampart]

So many games I want to play, so little time

[old adder]

theres 6 days left, idk about too little time

[rotund rampart]

Yea but once 2nd of january hits its work work work y’know

[old adder]

not for some of us (temporary layoffs)

[rotund rampart]

[south hazel]

https://youtu.be/YVg2FsYpooA

[old adder]

do mine i want to see how the experience really is

(link: https://unmoon.itch.io/surviwan)

[lavish escarp]

hey

[lavish escarp]

hey1

cool game

but

this is mildly on me

i hardlocked myself

game cannot progress from here

also cerber is cracked.

[waxen trail]

Yeah this is a softlock I thought I fixed (but didn't) 💀

[old adder]

ermmm how did you get to that tile without killing the boss

[waxen trail]

(Fleeing)

Also @old adder I played your game but

[old adder]

oh i forgot thats an option

[waxen trail]

What do I do when the ability icons appear

[lament monolith]

Skill issue, this doesn't exist

scammed

[waxen trail]

I should add a character that gets buffed when they flee, maybe Vedal

[signal monolith]

skll issue

[old adder]

||you can pick them up, inventory is at the bottom of the screen||

[waxen trail]

No way!! nice

[signal monolith]

anybody wanna plug a game I didn't play yet?

[tribal tartan]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3212851

[placid salmon]

Have you played tutel rancher?

[signal monolith]

no, but I can

[signal monolith]

this one first

[tribal tartan]

❤️

[placid salmon]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3207559

[tribal tartan]

I'd also like to play some more so plug away

[civic fractal]

I am so fricked, couldn't cycle through enough healing.

[signal monolith]

maybe mine? https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3211560

[lavish escarp]

merc'd the bastard on 2nd attempt

[tribal tartan]

yeah I'll check these out for sure!

[lavish escarp]

fucking 2 shot as well, cerber gets so fucking strong by the end lol, plus i used hellish crew successfully every time

glass cannon 50 damage 10 hp

cute as fuck too

[old adder]

you can fail the hellish crew check???

[lavish escarp]

can you?

i assumed you could

seems like a peculiar thing to add if you cant

[old adder]

i one shot everything, i dont know about failure

[signal monolith]

It was cool, but I won't rate audio very high xd

[waxen trail]

Let's gooooo! that's sick

Cerber is op as heck haha

[lavish escarp]

surprisingly fun game

[waxen trail]

You can't fail checks

Glad to hear (':

[lavish escarp]

fair enough

still surprisingly fun game anyway

[waxen trail]

[lavish escarp]

10/10 would let captain evil merc gigantic sea monsters

[waxen trail]

Pivoted to this idea from something else mid day1 haha

Evil is the fun character but winning with Vedal is challenge mode

(Though a friend of mine did)

[lavish escarp]

like all vedals?

or just captain vedal

[waxen trail]

Either one

Hold up

Also @old adder the combo-attack mechanic is really neat, you can totally develop it further

[misty tree]

i one shot him

[waxen trail]

My friend's build

For the record

my friend is a gigachad god gamer

[tribal tartan]

Fair lol, didn't have time for that unfortunately

[lavish escarp]

oh the poor bastard

[waxen trail]

(He still won since you attack before the enemy)

[tribal tartan]

I really like the movement, feels great. Also nice music : )

[waxen trail]

Did you reach the boss in Jaceideu's game?

I got skill issue'd on that bossfight for a long while lol

[signal monolith]

But It was a cool game and you used a based engine(Im baised)

[signal monolith]

music isn't mine, it's in the credits, I'm no composer

[tribal tartan]

I'm on it rn, got ko'ed on the last phase but Imma beat it!

[tribal tartan]

ty sir. Based engine buddies!

[waxen trail]

You got this!! and if you really really struggle ||just go for the pipes!||

[old adder]

yeah i totally wouldve if i had time!

[waxen trail]

I mean like, in a full game it's a neat mechanic and feels like something that could make for some creative combos

[lavish escarp]

beat with captain vedal numi and cerber

[signal monolith]

this tutel rancher game is so cursed, I love it

[lavish escarp]

that was the first game from the jam that i finished

[old adder]

yeah i actually cut a lot of effects because i wouldve had to do it completely differently i might redo in godot and make it a real game

[waxen trail]

Would be neat!!

[waxen trail]

I have to admit I played the tutel rancher 💀 it's funny lol

Saw the desc and had to

[lavish escarp]

also whats up @signal monolith

[lavish escarp]

unrelated but yk the korean turtle ship?

this is that innit

[tribal tartan]

EYYYY got it!!!

[waxen wasp]

I learned that saying the right ones name isnt allowed the hard way

[torpid bridge]

We are currently #10 in most rated!

[lavish escarp]

wdym

[misty tree]

based on the total stats the average amount of ratings is currently 5.3

[hasty drift]

good for day 1 + its new years eve?

[torpid bridge]

Here's a game to play for New Year's! Leave the corrupted memories behind! https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[waxen trail]

I love korean turtle ships, would be sick to have one in the game too

[waxen wasp]

I got timed out 9 months ago

[lavish escarp]

oh lol

[lavish escarp]

ship with 3 vedals is the tutel ship

[signal monolith]

I've just beaten the supercursed tutel breeding game, it was great

and it's new years for me in 10 minutes

[waxen wasp]

Same here

[proud smelt]

Me after the game jam 😛
https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-brain-dead-drool-bored-gif-7233020

[lavish escarp]

its a surprisingly fun game innit

[tribal tartan]

yeah it was actually fun...extremely cursed but fun

[proud smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/shoes-turtle-animal-gif-9634686204999653541

[lavish escarp]

we shoudlve had that tutel too

croc tutel

[waxen wasp]

Happy newyear

[tribal tartan]

Happy new year

[waxen wasp]

New year is 2 wods in english? Interesting

[tacit wasp]

Happy new year!

[tame rapids]

Happy new year guys

[hasty drift]

hny

[old adder]

darn could not find another vedal anywhere

[waxen trail]

SoClose

But still neat build haha

[signal monolith]

HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR SOME PEOPLE RN

[waxen trail]

Happy new year!! I want to try implementing the Neuro SDK tomorrow and afterwards play any of your jam games that I missed (got like 20 tabs for it in my browser rn 💀 )

[signal monolith]

If someone were to beat my game(for example:@waxen trail) and they choose wrong choice at the end something funny happens, I doubt anybody picked wrong till now

[waxen trail]

I couldn't bring myself to pick the wrong choice 😔

Maybe it's worth replaying just for that lol

[signal monolith]

it's worth it, trust me, for the funny

[proud smelt]

Are there even "wrong "choices?

[signal monolith]

there are two choices and one is clearly wrong, If somebody picked the wrong one, I will be very surprised

[signal monolith]

bruh, I've died in a tutorial, skill issue

[old adder]

tbh i dont think there is another good way to build that, the digging doesnt give enough health (to be worth taking instead of moving on) at least to tank more didnt check if the other characters are helpful tho

[torpid bridge]

You are like the journalist at IGN who can't beat the Cuphead Tutorial stage /j

[signal monolith]

bruh, vedal is a wuss, i've one shotted him

[signal monolith]

I kept missing, I was fighting cerber

but now I've defeated two in a row without much issue

[torpid bridge]

If you enjoy the game I recommend playing Medabots

[signal monolith]

Will I be ever able to spend my coins?

[old adder]

holy frick this game has banger music but i need a volume slider

[signal monolith]

volume mixer?

[old adder]

yeahhhhh but it messes with rest of browser too

[old adder]

i got dumpstered by cerber too

[cunning inlet]

Speaking of a game that has banger music, have you ever heard of the hit game Evil's Malice where Vedal & Neuro sing another duet?

[tepid cove]

the kisekae models always throw me off

[signal monolith]

No I havent, shame i didn't see it's plug for about 5 minutes

[jagged iron]

Bro advertised his game 10 times in 2 days, this is super annoying

[old adder]

is it just supposed to be battles over and over? i keep getting wrecked and i thought i should be able to upgrade stuff or something before each battle
also doesnt seem like a roguelike but maybe i missed something

[cunning inlet]

You will see it again at least a few times, but I'll prob cut down on it just a tad xdd

[jagged iron]

Can you chill?

We get it

[torpid bridge]

Hmmm @sleek reef are you able to upgrade in the game?

[sleek reef]

its every 3 battles, the balance is a quite off since its the backup build

[old adder]

oh i see, really hard to get there then

[signal monolith]

you clearly didnt see any of 10000 plugs of @lavish escarp

compared to him these are rookie numbers

[tacit wasp]

I was about to say lmao

[sleek reef]

yea, my suggestion is if the enemy’s eva is 20+, use memory upgrade as first choice, and spam filtered for the rest of the battle

[torpid bridge]

Not me also advertising our game as much as well

[civic fractal]

Same 5 games being advertised

[torpid bridge]

One of the best ways for advertising is also reaching out to other websites and social media as well

[signal monolith]

One time I want to play it you haven't send a link

[torpid bridge]

So I would absolutely recommend that as well

[arctic topaz]

This has to be a full game in 3d like slime rancher

[signal monolith]

with rtx turtle breeding graphics

memory lane is cool, but a bit too slow, it gets annoying when I die and have to wait through repetetive battles again

speedup function would be very nice

[cunning inlet]

I can post it especially for you ^^
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213257

can't wait to start playing others' games tomorrow myself

[signal monolith]

Pressing "shift" crashing the game is a great feature

[cunning inlet]

already aware of the problem, and already fixed (will be updated once rating is over)

it's something I never somehow tested and thus I never realized (cuz you spend 99% of the game as a duo) xdd

[signal monolith]

also cool undertale sounds

happy 2023 btw

[cunning inlet]

merry yearmas indeed

[sage sapphire]

I've gotten through a good chunk of my list

ngl, pretty great stuff

[cunning inlet]

Speaking of thing you should add on your list-

nah jkjk

[sage sapphire]

already did

[cunning inlet]

imma make a list myself, I'll search up links people posted on this channel

might also watch Gymbag manz's videos on games they played

[sage sapphire]

but I'll have to play it tomorrow cuz I'm setting up my VM for all the games requiring a download

[cunning inlet]

I'll def watch how they approached my game, I've got that video open xd

[cunning inlet]

fair enough. I hope the VM doesn't end up having any lag spikes during the duet cuz any skipped frames would decync it a bit

that's my only biggest fear in everyone's experience

[sage sapphire]

I have a pretty beefy system so it should be fine unless you can somehow brick up a 4070

[cunning inlet]

I have GTX1650 I think and it ran fine on mine

[sage sapphire]

then I surely won't have issues

[cunning inlet]

I really tried to optimize and polish it as much as possible for a smooth experience, so I pray for everyone

[sage sapphire]

[signal monolith]

@cunning inlet I've beaten your game, it was really great

I think this is the highest score I've given

but undertale sound effects were driving me mad

[cunning inlet]

yeah sound effects are kinda hard to figure out and find live when you're under stress, but I don't think they're too bad, they fit with the style of game

def could use some more research on sound effects tho

but glad you enjoyed ^^

[misty tree]

for sure

glad i had someone to handle that this year

[cunning inlet]

having a secondary person doing heavy research in the background looking for suitable assets would definitely be very convenient

[signal monolith]

this is weird

[misty tree]

whats weird about it?

[signal monolith]

gdrive link

[misty tree]

ohh, i thought it was a ? on the time before deadline lol

[cerulean jetty]

@sage sapphire I have the password to the "Vadul Blamers" account.

[signal monolith]

ITS 8.8 GB

[cerulean jetty]

(had a comment on itch, just making sure the same bug report is not taken in twice)

[signal monolith]

WTF

[lofty shoal]

Probably an Unreal Engine game. Mine was the same at 2.5 Gb. Itch has a max upload of one Gb so I did drive too. Drive has time stamps and it doesnt let you modify whats on the link iirc, so it can’t be used to update after the deadline like some sites

[misty tree]

psased 100 downloads 🎉

still cant believe I hit 1k last year, that number feels insane now

[lofty shoal]

Congrats!!

[old adder]

nobody loves me

[tacit wasp]

Damn

1 player away from 50

[lethal egret]

I'm playing every single game so, don't worry. I'll play your's at some point It's probably a good one

[tacit wasp]

I'm probably* gonna play too if I haven't yet

* probably is just here in case my PC can't run it

[old adder]

honestly im surprised nobody has called it a bitcoin miner yet the performance is so bad

[waxen wasp]

im doing a lot better than last year

[tacit wasp]

Though to be fair, I'll probably try to play the games I couldn't play once I'm home, the vote will just be closed by then unfortunately
Very sorry to anyone who made their game in Unity or Unreal

[waxen wasp]

im playing from least ratings to most

but that list changes constantly

[old adder]

same

[misty tree]

started at the bottom, immediately hit a game that wouldnt even load lol

explains why therse no ratings

[old adder]

yeah unfortunately

not sure what to do about those

[tacit wasp]

Saw a submission in the lowest rank that didn't have a game to download
That's a shame

I hope they see the comments and manage to do something about it

[signal monolith]

Mine has like 20 downloads and 12 ratings

So not great

[waxen wasp]

first game i clicked: classified as browser game.
i click on it -> html page with text saying please download to play the game.
look back at the itch page, mothing to download.

[hexed forum]

If you find a game that wont start you should put it in comments so the other testers know

[old adder]

half the linux builds dont work

[civic fractal]

We are at 120 plays and 9 ratings (somehow)

[waxen wasp]

9? damn

thats a lot

[tacit wasp]

Making a web build that just tells you to download the game feels a bit scummy, even if there was a game ngl

[waxen wasp]

true

[signal monolith]

Aleo why, what gain from that?

[tacit wasp]

They probably knew that some people only go to games that have a web build

[old adder]

im also not very happy with people tagging games as linux or whatever and then just having a web version

[civic fractal]

uhhhhh

[waxen wasp]

i mean, sorting for webgames is fair, downloading random files is a bit sketchy eventhough 99% of people do actually just want peopl to have fun playing their game

[tacit wasp]

I think they just don't wanna bother downloading 200 games, which is fair tbh

[old adder]

i wanted to go through all the linux games first since i bet those dont get many plays

[tacit wasp]

Is there some games that only works on Linux?

[civic fractal]

Ours does work under linux, not much point as it is just a web bundle.

[waxen wasp]

or my audio stoped working randomly

wait

[old adder]

well i meant downloadable games with linux and windows builds, but no web build

[tacit wasp]

Ah I see

[waxen wasp]

nvm, classic windows audio drivers

[misty tree]

oh huh lol in this game they straight up had a popup that says "i didnt have time to implement the theme" 🤔

[sage canyon]

okay so due to the bug in my game players cannot reach the result screen at the end of each world so i created a website so players can still submit times. You have to record the time yourself but now the leaderboard can be used, also i put the ending screens in the first devlog since people cant see them in game

[old adder]

alright frick it ill buy balatro

[lavish escarp]

damn

[waxen wasp]

the problem we have is cutscene images being in the wrong order, and sound not working sometimes, besides that the game mostly works

(those bugs are all my fault )

so im redoing the cutscenen system i made in the last hour of the game-jam

good time for another plug i guess https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213324

[civic fractal]

Come on, you did great with the custom engine it is running on.

[misty tree]

i can see why some people dont bother playing all the lowest rated games tbh xD some of these are....

i just played a "hold to move right for 20 seconds and then you get an ai image of neuro and vedal" game

[placid salmon]

Pain, I always do this so I'm used to it

[lavish escarp]

i dont

its hard to rate the ones which are clearly not very good but also clearly had effort put into them

[placid salmon]

Before I used to write a detailed explanation about what was right and wrong about the game, I still do it but less frequently

[lavish escarp]

cuz i feel like a bastard rating

[waxen wasp]

the problem seems to be that the timing is inconsistent in browser, making the frame being rendered inconsistent.

[lavish escarp]

lenght

[civic fractal]

Yeah, I'm probably not going to do any rating tomorrow. Got a new years party to attend.

[waxen wasp]

same

[lavish escarp]

i like to imagine scenelenght carries on into the future as the new spelling of length in code due to this

[civic fractal]

It took me half a minute to figure out where that was.

[lavish escarp]

mildly comedic to me imagining if all the code in the game has to have lenght instead of length

[waxen wasp]

its just a couple variables i think

english is my 3rd language

lenght is a stupid word

[signal monolith]

I feel you, I've misspelled this one so many times

[lavish escarp]

what are your first and second

[signal monolith]

I also really hate the word "through"

its spelling makes no sens

it should be "thru"

[civic fractal]

That one sucks very much

[signal monolith]

or "fru"

[waxen wasp]

dutch and french, although im not that good at french

[lavish escarp]

ah belg

[waxen wasp]

ja

[lavish escarp]

wait have you played my game

[waxen wasp]

probably not

[signal monolith]

at least in polish every word is spelled exactly as pronounced

[lavish escarp]

Mika advertisement #1001

[lavish escarp]

watch the animation in the story scene number 2 on repeat

[signal monolith]

I WONT PLAY YOUR STUPID GAME, YOU WONT TAKE ME, I WONT YELD

[lavish escarp]

no this isnt a shameless plug i kinda just want @waxen wasp to see the reference

[waxen wasp]

what about u?

[lavish escarp]

try the game first lol

[waxen wasp]

aight

[lavish escarp]

the scenes with text

[waxen wasp]

RIP the UK and netherlands

[signal monolith]

thx I hate it

[lavish escarp]

2 nukes for NL and BE each

1 for the UK

[waxen wasp]

i understand the UK, but why did NL and BE need to go?

[lavish escarp]

i took a screenshot of a map to make this asset based off and realised NL and BE were there

so i tried to make it look like the nukes would hit the UK then had them swerve to hit the low countries

then tossed in a last second nuke for the UK

[lavish escarp]

en belgiehaat is universeel

[signal monolith]

@lavish escarp fixed it

[waxen wasp]

since when?

[lavish escarp]

i learned dutch from dutch folk lol they taught me to hate be

im asian

btw

[waxen wasp]

oh

[lavish escarp]

no stake in the game either but the rivalry yall have is so fun to take part in

[waxen wasp]

btw, you dont need an exit button in browser.

[lavish escarp]

yeah i made the game for download

made a webgl build last minute

webgl build doesnt have the hard difficulty

[waxen wasp]

ours doesnt have a quit button on web

it checks first if its not in browser before adding it to the buttons list

[lavish escarp]

i probably couldve just deleted the game object for the exit button for web

unrelated but what did you think of the difficulty?
too easy? too hard? just right?

[waxen wasp]

(how do i get more bullets?)

[signal monolith]

wow

[lavish escarp]

r to reload

[waxen wasp]

ooooh

[lavish escarp]

unless you spent all 6 magazines

in which case

how

[waxen wasp]

i should have read the main menu

[lavish escarp]

prob yea lol

i tried to make the controls as intuitive as possible

[signal monolith]

the fact that you slow down when looking the other way is very annoying tbh

[lavish escarp]

that part is intentional

[signal monolith]

I know, it says in the description

but it's still annoying

[lavish escarp]

i got the idea people would dislike it admittedly

but i like it this way

[signal monolith]

@lavish escarp I'm such a hater of your game I've beaten it twice

[verbal garnet]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213399

in case you guys have like 3 minutes for short story I made (totally not a malware executable )

[waxen wasp]

i won, it was decently dificult since i dont play many shooters

[lavish escarp]

if it means anything i can post myself beating your game for the first time

your game felt very natural to me

[quick badger]

can we change the game's cover image?

[tacit wasp]

Sounds like something a guy plugging a malware would say
Added it to my tabs, I'll play it tomorrow

The dementia concept sounds interesting

[lavish escarp]

your game needs more ratings tho @signal monolith

its remarkably fun

its not the easiest tho

[signal monolith]

I cant plug as much as you

I'm not as shameless

[lavish escarp]

ill plug it for you

i felt at home as a titanfall and krunker player

https://youtu.be/G6Yd9VhYeSs

my playthrough, i tried the first levels before but this is my first time beating the game

[unreal plinth]

Damn, tried playing and rating a ton today and barely a dent, there are sooo many games

[quick badger]

Lol I did about as much, got distracted by a few good ones tho xD

[unreal plinth]

I've been playing the least rated, which tend to be short and not get me hooked for long :p

[tacit wasp]

I only rated 8 games, I need to step up my game

[unreal plinth]

Here ya go https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3210589
a little shameless plug :p

[signal monolith]

I'm glad you tried out "p" in game

[civic fractal]

I only rated 7 so far, need to do more

[waxen wasp]

its plugging time again?

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213324

[tacit wasp]

Nice, Another little tab for my browser to handle

[lavish escarp]

it caught me off guard at the end there lol i was wondering what it'd do

[tacit wasp]

I think I already have a tab open for this one on my laptop

[quick badger]

https://pinkwolfgames.itch.io/memoneuros

[waxen wasp]

(our game has a menu that you can acces with p, but it breaks the game so we just never mentioned that it exists)

[lavish escarp]

pretty cool game tho, legitimately fun for the part of my brain that craves speed @signal monolith

[signal monolith]

it seems you didnt figure out the most broken mechanic in my game, try sliding and jumping immidetly

speed will be unmatched

[unreal plinth]

Been realizing it's always plugging time in this channel, and I've been severely lacking in plugs, gotta pick up the slack

[lavish escarp]

i realised that at about

[tacit wasp]

This is fine
most are unrelated but it's still funny to see this icon

[lavish escarp]

the part jumping between buildings

but it hadnt been built into muscle memory yet

[civic fractal]

we love 100+ tabs

[waxen wasp]

what happened to :D?

i remember seeing :D on my moms phone

[tacit wasp]

Isn't that on Chrome? I forgot

[waxen wasp]

oh ye, thats chrome

[lavish escarp]

@signal monolith that was after about 5 minutes of trying out your game, i made it to the middle when i accidentally used ctrl + w to close the tab so i had to open it back up so i decided to record it

[civic fractal]

FF mobile has infinity symbol

[lavish escarp]

in fullscreen so it wouldnt kill the tab

[signal monolith]

yeah, I hate this keyboard shortcut, anybody uses it normally?

[lavish escarp]

the movement mechanics feel extremely close to titanfall 2's or krunkers

so i immediately got used to it

[unreal plinth]

Yup, all the time, Ctrl + W's great

[lavish escarp]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0sFJV94WPY

[lavish escarp]

krunker

[unreal plinth]

Don't like the choice of key for the keybind though, why W??

[lavish escarp]

https://youtu.be/tc2bI-ml6c8

titanfall

[signal monolith]

plug master now plugs his yt channel

lmao

i don't see much resemblance tbh

but I'm glad you liked my game

[lavish escarp]

im realising for the titanfall one its just because im mostly showcasing a mod

https://youtu.be/kNCWBQx-Jeg

this is what it usually looks like

its effectively the same controls

[signal monolith]

I see

yeah

it looks pretty similar

[waxen wasp]

since we're pluggin youtube now, our song will be uploaded to youtube

its very good imo, team did a great job, its currently only available att he end of our game tho

[signal monolith]

Anybody wanna plug a game? I'll play it rn

[waxen wasp]

did you play ours yet?

[tacit wasp]

Have you played Stream of Memories?

[signal monolith]

I've actually played neither of these two

[waxen wasp]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213324

be my guest

[tacit wasp]

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

[lavish escarp]

https://tenor.com/view/drum-role-rolls-drum-roll-please-gif-4556505038339306650

[tacit wasp]

oh oh

[civic fractal]

We'll probably add it to Quack.FM as well (Quack wanted to add it instantly om)

[signal monolith]

It was super unqiue art was very cute, minigames were really creative but It felt a bit glitched, like voice lines were playing in unintended places or smth, hard to describe, maybe I'll try the windows version instead of web to compare

[waxen wasp]

quack was supposed to be our beta tester but we didnt have the time to do beta testing

[waxen wasp]

it is a bit glitched, im trying to fix it, but we cant change the version rn due to the voting.

[signal monolith]

And these AI voices were kinda cursed sometimes

But I liked it very very much

[waxen wasp]

minigame 2's voices were supposed to be glitched btw, bad vs good audio

[civic fractal]

Yeah, at least for Neuro and Evil voicelines, we had to make do.

[waxen wasp]

we had synthV for the song tho, so those are a lot better

[signal monolith]

yeah, this one was good

[waxen wasp]

minigame 2 is very scuffed behind the scenes, so im most proud of minigame 3

[civic fractal]

My ears remeber that alpha build

[waxen wasp]

[signal monolith]

every voice except of neuro's is cursed

in this game

[waxen wasp]

its better than the tiktok TTS imo

or im just biased, idk. i really hate the tiktok one

[signal monolith]

not by much tbh

Now i'll try the second one, the one with sus looking screenshots

[civic fractal]

I forgot I already did that one

[signal monolith]

It was a cool game, but i was hard to decipher which memories are "positive" and which are "negative", some were clearly negative, but others felt just random

[civic fractal]

Same as another reviewer smh

[tacit wasp]

You're the second person who tell me about positive and negative despite the game being about which memories are real or fake

I'm gonna start thinking there's a problem with the description lmao

[signal monolith]

I just thought I don't get some references lol

[tacit wasp]

Yeah that's because we made them up lmao

It's the ones you need to remove

[signal monolith]

yeah, maybe reading comprehension was the real enemy

[civic fractal]

For that game in particular, maybe so

[tacit wasp]

The game immediately sending you into the gameplay might have to do with it?
There's no instructions in the game itself

[signal monolith]

Yeah, and I admit I've seen that review before

so it might have mind hacked me

[tacit wasp]

Yeah adding the main menu will be one of my priority once we can update the games again

[molten shadow]

if you're still open
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213368

[tacit wasp]

Anyway, I'll be out for the night
Good night people, or whatever time it is for you

[signal monolith]

I think I'll go to sleep rn, but I'll play it tomorrow for sure

[tacit wasp]

Same
