2024-game-jam

[atomic stream]

by default the sorting is random

[buoyant flower]

Artwork & general concept is good too.

[atomic stream]

but i saw this one so many times in the page too lol

[past meadow]

Gameplay is also fun, if you ignore all the weirdness

[hasty drift]

rancher games are fun yea

[past meadow]

tutel on stream

[sour horizon]

double checked, it's set by popularity; do you see different games?

[torpid bridge]

Hope he talks about the Game Jam

[winter aurora]

wait, how do you see theses stats

[buoyant flower]

It is set to random during voting, and now is set to popularity apparently?

[tacit wasp]

Maybe he'll play some new games today

[tame rapids]

oh maybe he wants to announce jam results

[signal monolith]

it's kinda weird, but the game is fine, probably some wierd itch calculations

[tame rapids]

that also may be the case

[atomic stream]

oh no nvm youre right thats 4th in popularity lmao

[potent stirrup]

Top 0% makes it seem like the game got 0 ratings

[atomic stream]

https://itchanalytics.vercel.app

[winter aurora]

oh thanks !

[native chasm]

https://itchanalytics.vercel.app/jam/neuro/3213344
these are for mine game, just change the number in link to yours

[tacit wasp]

Hey can Vedal accidently leak the results by sharing his screen?

[misty tree]

Ayy @atomic stream I see you got around to my game 😄 thanks for the quite detailed comment there

[tame rapids]

we can also ask chat to spam asking for jam results

(i don't think it's good idea)

[waxen trail]

Abandoned game jam

[hasty drift]

vedal has prolly no idea abt the game jam stuff lol, alex did everything

[atomic stream]

yeah! yours was so good! :3

[signal monolith]

NO

bad idea

[waxen trail]

HE MADE A GAME FOR IT WDYM

[misty tree]

in already working on most of the missing content and the boss fight against evil 😄

[tacit wasp]

Since he's gonna go back to the road trip, let's have TruckersFM deliver the message

[waxen trail]

But yeah I bet Alex helps a lot with organizing

[signal monolith]

calm down people

[misty tree]

Hopefully I can throw those in soon

[waxen trail]

IT WAS A TOUGH THEME OKAY

[atomic stream]

looking forward to it

[signal monolith]

the rating will be when they are ready

[waxen trail]

[atomic stream]

ah yes i remember him filling that in last second lmao

[hasty drift]

last second be fore the last hour

[atomic stream]

i submitted my game 4 minutes before the deadline and still was faster than vedal

[hasty drift]

classic last minute 1 hour extension

[atomic stream]

(then alex increased by 1 hour)

[quick badger]

how long until we see the ratings?

[tacit wasp]

We don't know

[waxen trail]

He's a tutel after all

[atomic stream]

[tacit wasp]

Does someone remember how long it took last year

[cunning inlet]

alright time to look at the results

[native chasm]

200k sub goal

[hasty drift]

it looks like alex has to confirm the final ratings. think itch does not automatically release results so that moderators can check some games if there was fraud or smth idk

[atomic stream]

wait so fraud wasn't allowed?

[signal monolith]

fraud is the essential part of game jams

smh

[torpid bridge]

DarkLight most likely getting disqualified for not even following theme and even admitting to it

[signal monolith]

no, it isn't, alex literally checked the reports on stream and said that it's fine

it doesn't break any rules

[torpid bridge]

Ahhh okay

[misty tree]

on stream the other day alex looked over darklight and abandoned archive 2

[hasty drift]

alex looked at darklight on stream and decided to not disqualify it

[signal monolith]

it will get a really bad theme rating

[misty tree]

he cut the archive clone

[torpid bridge]

Okay 👍

[tame rapids]

well, let's see if this number drops (hopefully not though)

[fringe star]

theres also the random files

[torpid bridge]

Remember the game that was submitted to so many Game Jams?

[cunning inlet]

uhhhh soooo

[tacit wasp]

One day

[tame rapids]

it got nuked i think

[torpid bridge]

Yeah it did

[hasty drift]

that one was made before the jam even started

[atomic stream]

imagine it takes like a week for the results to release

[signal monolith]

hope that helps lol

[sleek reef]

just woke up, time to release update and windows build

[atomic stream]

i would die

[torpid bridge]

Btw thank you SeaLantern for having me on the team!

[void parcel]

i only placed 230th in the jam thats better than last place congrats to everyone that did well!

[cunning inlet]

well anyway v1.1 is up in case anyone's interested

[hasty drift]

nice

[sleek reef]

also ggs to everyone participated!

[atomic stream]

yippy!!! so excited to play it

[waxen trail]

Maybe results will drop on stream sometime

(copium)

[tacit wasp]

Alex will probably talk about it on his next stream (or here at some point)

[atomic stream]

i was thinking that lmao

[cunning inlet]

you can now replay through the areas after completing the game and you can press "R" at the DDR section to see if you can get 100%

[frank canopy]

I wonder if it is cool to update or entries already? Or should we wait a bit just in case

[hasty drift]

why not, rating period is over

[signal monolith]

it's cool, there was a lock, it's now lifted

[frank canopy]

Sweet

[signal monolith]

I don't see why not

[frank canopy]

I guess Alex said something about potentially extending the rating period before

But it's a bit late now

[hasty drift]

time ran out so its over

[quick badger]

can we update then?

[hasty drift]

it is possible

[placid salmon]

I'll have to update my game, I'll just fix bugs and move on x.x

[hasty drift]

sounds like the right spirit

[cunning inlet]

it's still funny to see my game as the #14 most popular game. I actually didn't check this last time but last year's submission was #30 in popularity, I thought it was way lower than that

I look forward to seeing Neuro playing the Neuro SDK-implemented games

[fringe star]

YESSSSS

I GOT THE SAVES TO WORK

[winter aurora]

what about, fixing bug, adding neuro sdk, adding content, preparing a sequels of the game that actually implement the original idea & lore (kinda what we, ideally, plan )

[atomic stream]

sigh i got a lot of work to do now

[fringe star]

i was able to add a couple of new units(3), fixed "the brats and mom", add 3 more buffs, recolor the enemy, add savefiles so you dont need to start from zero, fixed the issue of clicking(you only need to click the tile of a unit) and even added a final boss for campaign 1 and so far fixed all the bugs i found

[calm sandal]

Honestly you deserve to be higher than #14

[atomic stream]

thats very nice

[placid salmon]

I won't add the Neuro SDK because I don't like censorship, always respect the original artist vision

[fringe star]

Still havent added sound

[atomic stream]

just open up sfxr and click some buttons!

[winter aurora]

[atomic stream]

(i say, not having implemented sound on mine either)

[cunning inlet]

That is some high praise, I have no idea where I would evaluate my game to be, but thank you!

[placid salmon]

My game won't be played on stream otherwise

[atomic stream]

i hope i can get my game to a point im happy with in the following week

[tacit wasp]

Wouldn't that be the exact opposite?
Game with the SDK would be preferred over others

[placid salmon]

My game is tutel rancher

[tacit wasp]

right

[fringe star]

OH

[calm sandal]

I could finaly upload the version of my game without the final boss spawned in the beginning Now it's time to make combat better and add all the things I didn't have time for

[winter aurora]

Ohhh ok !

[atomic stream]

man i need to play tutel rancher and vedal's secret im so curious

[agile nymph]

OH......

[fringe star]

Look at this, IT actually works

[hasty drift]

nice tabs

[fringe star]

I cant believe scratch can actually run save files

[sleek reef]

first time plugger for new update
https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[tacit wasp]

I think I'm gonna fix a few bugs in Stream Of Memories, including the random crash and centering the text of the memories

Next step will be the main menu, then the next one will be the SDK

[atomic stream]

gonna play it right now!

[fringe star]

btw can i ask you guys to do something?

[old adder]

i think im gonna wait another 5 years and remake my game in godot

[fringe star]

https://ishinada.itch.io/neuro-wars
play mission 1, wait 3 seconds, refresh the page, and see if mission 2 is unlocked, im not sure if its working only because its my pc, so i need to test some stuff

[atomic stream]

trying it

[fringe star]

thx

[winter aurora]

will be able to fix that (best text tbh)

[hasty drift]

[Object object]

[atomic stream]

works!

[fringe star]

I request that dialogue node be kept as an easter egg rather than removed

[fringe star]

[winter aurora]

ok

tbh idk if its already fixed on main branch

[native chasm]

Time to set new WR
-# (ignore the fact that the font is different and that I've sent this 18 minutes after that time was on stream)

[hasty drift]

easter egg idea: 1% chance any dialogue from neuro or evil will be replaced with someone tell vedal there is a problem with my ai

[fleet goblet]

Did vedal talk about the game jam?

[waxen trail]

Not that I heard lmao

[winter aurora]

Good idea.
but only if we will have neuro/evil dialogue

[waxen trail]

But I popped in later

[native chasm]

no, he's playing the long ride rn and talk about disney land and stuff

[fringe star]

cute

[waxen trail]

Continuing yesterday's adventure

Next jam idea: The long ride but in a mech

[hasty drift]

lol no

[placid salmon]

He definitely forgot about it

[native chasm]

the gamejam became nothing but a remnant of the past...

[waxen trail]

Jam results released before or after abandoned archive?

[hasty drift]

i mean he once mentioned that he could continue playing game jam games at some point

but im quite certain he doesnt even know that rating period is over

[waxen trail]

Jokes aside I don't mind, I'll wait. I'm made out of patience. But if the rating period ended only for results to be announced a week later that'd be sadge

[fringe star]

I still laugh at the fact vedal lost on mission 3

[hasty drift]

last year, he played game jam games in like April

[waxen trail]

He also played some around the rating period iirc

Last year

[hasty drift]

yea, like he did this time. with few most pop games

[waxen trail]

This year he only played 5 until tutel rancher trauma

We also had more than twice the amount of submissions so many many many really cool games

So it is what it is

[hasty drift]

community ever increasing

#1 hype train holders, least dedicated community

[waxen trail]

Community cooking harder than ever before

[fringe star]

I like rewatching the part where vedal goes back out of curiosity

[waxen trail]

In an alternate universe vedal gets quite further into the game before discovering that one turtle

[winter aurora]

if the number of game double every year we will be having 1 000 000 games in ~11-12 year

[fringe star]

"choose a position"

[tacit wasp]

Immediately followed by breeding

[waxen trail]

You know, good point

[hasty drift]

koko madge she wasnt the top

[warm gale]

In 10 years valve will be attending vedals jam

[hasty drift]

vedal streaming in 10 years

[native chasm]

The Swarm: Not getting Most Dedicated fanbase award
The Swarm:

[hasty drift]

neuro had an ad on timesquare minimum of 3 times

[fringe star]

if not vedal, neuro and evil will probably stick around

[tacit wasp]

You sure Valve will be able to participate to a Game Jam beyond its 2nd edition?

[hasty drift]

time to program a manager ai who manages neuro and evil (and gets depressed along the way)

[tacit wasp]

Isn't that technically the filter?

[hasty drift]

the filter is restricting, not managing

[waxen trail]

In Evil in Time it's doing more than that

But no spoilers

[tacit wasp]

All it takes is a little update

[placid salmon]

This is my last game about Vedaltopia anyway, third game jam I'll use human form tutel, I'll have to see how I'll jump the shark next

[waxen trail]

Human Vedal breeding

Your game in the first jam was the detective one right?

[fringe star]

[waxen trail]

With Vedaltopia characters

[tardy geyser]

this text is completely cursed to read out of context btw

[placid salmon]

Yeah

[waxen trail]

It was fun tutel art is kinda peak ngl

[hasty drift]

next year... breadverse

[waxen trail]

It's also cursed in context lmao

[tardy geyser]

i agree

[warm gale]

Its cursed in why way

[placid salmon]

Thank you! No more breeding since I don't like to repeat myself sadly

[hasty drift]

no more breeding, time to start baking in the breadverse

[waxen trail]

breeding -> breading

[warm gale]

Game about raising the child after you 've bread your turtels

[tardy geyser]

baked child tamagotchi

[hasty drift]

a nuero sdk tamagotchi game that overlays on stream would go wild, time to see it starve when neuro hyperfocuses on smth else

[waxen trail]

What kind of pet would it be? an anteater? a duck?

Maybe a new one every time the old one dies

[hasty drift]

all of them, u get a random one when the old one dies

[placid salmon]

I have a who is your daddy!? clone, where you take care of your children while they try to game end themselves

[hasty drift]

that way ppl that tune in later see if old one died or not real fast

[fringe star]

this without context is cursed

[waxen trail]

"Who is your AI creator?" but trying to take care of Neuro while she's trying to get banned from twitch

[hasty drift]

[warm gale]

Game play for Neuro will violate the TOS

[waxen trail]

Okay true but on the bright side we can have a turtle breeding minigame there

So it all works out

Though tbh even if Neuro was just streaming the actions of the kid from "Who is your daddy" that would work

Probably

[placid salmon]

I don't think Vedal would like to stream that, they lit themselves on fire and eat batteries

[waxen trail]

Eating batteries makes sense for an AI but being a pyromaniac is very in character for them lmao

[placid salmon]

Yoooo

[waxen trail]

Just gotta burn other things I guess

[placid salmon]

Results are up

You will be surprised

[waxen trail]

[fleet goblet]

they are not

and they are bugged regardless

[placid salmon]

Ah, okay, sorry

[fleet goblet]

There's no way IvChill was just refreshing the game jam page non stop for the past 1 hour and 17 minutes

[waxen trail]

He's so real for that

[placid salmon]

Nothing happened everyone, my bad

[fleet goblet]

And he caught me making the results public like 5 seconds after I did that

[hasty drift]

[tame rapids]

he is just built different

[warm gale]

Literally half of the people here

[tame rapids]

Alex, just because Vedals Secret got #1, it doesn't mean that results are bugged

[hasty drift]

[earnest wind]

erm

[misty tree]

huh

[fringe star]

Round 2 FIGHT

[tacit wasp]

huh

[tame rapids]

[placid salmon]

I'm ready

[signal monolith]

alex pressing random buttons xd

[fringe star]

RATERS, DEPLOY

[hasty drift]

Randy is editing the game jam page

[earnest wind]

Guys you can update your ratings for the updated games

[tacit wasp]

Wait they are actually reopened, wtf

[earnest wind]

I think Alex is tinkering with stuff and he reopened the votings

[fringe star]

UPLOADS GOT DISABLED LOOOL

but i already updated the game

[tacit wasp]

Next announcement: all games that were updated during that short period are now disqualified

[fringe star]

guess im gonna get disqualified

[earnest wind]

[hasty drift]

no rule has been broken

[waxen trail]

Why would you re-open the ratings though

I think it's a bad call ngl

[earnest wind]

#2024-game-jam message

[waxen trail]

Should've been extended before rating over I think

[tame rapids]

Alex said that the results got bugged

and i assume he is trying to fix it

[tacit wasp]

Wasn't that about the results, not the voting phase?

[waxen trail]

Oh okay fair enough

[hasty drift]

could be that he tried to make the timer show when the results will be published but it extended the rating pariod instead

[earnest wind]

yes about the result, the point is that he probably reopened the voting to try to fix it

[tame rapids]

i don't think it's official extension, but attempt at fixing them

[tacit wasp]

Yeah true

[fringe star]

i pray i dont get disqualified

[signal monolith]

I think he's just pressing random buttons

[signal monolith]

you didn't do anything wrong

[waxen trail]

Disqualified for being too good maybe

[earnest wind]

"mmmh my game isnt rated high enough, the results must be bugged" -Alex maybe

[misty tree]

ur fine, he wont disqualify you for something as silly as that

[signal monolith]

every game above fragmented banned?

[old adder]

i intentionally got low ratings by not including audio

[placid salmon]

I just wanted to see the comments posted on my game to see what bugs I had to fix

[signal monolith]

banned for rigging votes

[buoyant flower]

I just got my fixed build ready - only to have uploads locked

[old adder]

alex stopped typing

[signal monolith]

to ban you, ez

[old adder]

it was a good run

[signal monolith]

o7

[fringe star]

goodbye cruel world

[waxen trail]

Tbh this makes me curious about how jams work on Itch.io for the organizers

[tacit wasp]

Time to create one and see

[fleet goblet]

---- THIS IS NOT A RATING EXTENSION
The results only show the first 13 games that received a rating. I know why that happened and I'm working with itch.io support to fix it.

SOME GAMES HAVE UPLOADED A POST-JAM VERSION AND REMOVED THE ORIGINAL. PLEASE DO NOT RATE THEM.
OTHER GAMES HAVE KEPT THE ORIGINAL VERSION, PLEASE BE CAREFUL THAT YOU ARE RATING THE JAM VERSION.

Actually, just stop rating in general.

[misty tree]

oh dear

[waxen trail]

Thank you for the update!!

[fringe star]

Im alive, thank god

[tame rapids]

peculiar

[signal monolith]

I think vedal's passive makes everything associated with him scuffed

[hasty drift]

yea bugged jam confirmed then ig

[waxen trail]

"Aura of scuffedness"

[fringe star]

just wondering, i still have the gamejam version here

[old adder]

time to go rate everyone down (this is a joke please dont ban me please)

[signal monolith]

i think you should not touch it for now

[hasty drift]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1067638175478071307/1324154341212291194/mods_can_someone_pin_that.gif

[fringe star]

should i swap it back or do nothing?

[earnest wind]

Yeah everyone just stay off itch until its resolved

[fleet goblet]

too late now, the upload date is gone, isn't it?

[old adder]

ddoser

[hasty drift]

file shows date uploaded, so reversing the file still shows new upload date

[fringe star]

neuro sama game jam version says dec 30

[lusty falcon]

Don't touch Itch, don't look at Itch, don't even think about Itchio

[waxen trail]

Baa I really liked your game

[signal monolith]

dont say it dont think it

[placid salmon]

This number shouldn't go up

[lusty falcon]

Thank you

[misty tree]

it already did 💀

[signal monolith]

new thing to refresh?

[placid salmon]

It went up, who was it 💢

[waxen trail]

The rating: Remnants of Vedal's coding ability, 5/5

[fringe star]

I call upon the darkest of worlds, I cast to thee all, Memory Wipe

[tacit wasp]

Surely Alex has access to an history of all ratings and when they happened, right?

[tame rapids]

such is the law that everything related to Vedal must be scuffed

[sage sapphire]

I guess my memories are now a remnant of the past

[native chasm]

I had the same idea when I read that message

[native chasm]

Niko from OneShot will disagree with eating batteries part

not with pyromaniac part tho

[waxen trail]

Good, that's the important part

[fringe star]

I'll leave this here as a sort of proof that i only updated once the rating period ended

[tame rapids]

Though i'm kind of curious of how that happened

[native chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/molotov-niko-oneshot-crime-gif-24390377

[fringe star]

these are my stats

[fleet goblet]

I triggered the results calculation very early after only 13 games had been rated, and while votes still keep piling up and being counted correctly for those 13 games, the other games are basically excluded.

[tame rapids]

weird that itch doesn't have any prevention for such cases

[native chasm]

265 games disqualified for being too unlucky

[tardy geyser]

[fleet goblet]

like... we technically have the results for 13 games

[placid salmon]

And the first rank is very ominous

[buoyant flower]

I love how this game jam is also find-a-bug-jam

[fleet goblet]

oh no nevermind, even for those 13 games the votes aren't counted correctly

there's just no way a game has these results after 50 ratings

[tacit wasp]

First jam with no votes and no winner

[tardy geyser]

everyone is a winner

[placid salmon]

The good ending

[tacit wasp]

Nihilism VS Optimism

[past meadow]

Everyone gets a lavalamp

[buoyant flower]

this would technically result in Vedal being poor again

[native chasm]

they stole score from other 265 games

[cunning inlet]

Time for a special "limited code"

[fleet goblet]

also i forgor to download all of the games before the rating period ended

[tacit wasp]

We all contributed to make the scores of Turtle Breeder and Vedal's Secret break records

[fleet goblet]

so if any of those 6 games that deleted the old files make it to the top for vedal to play,

[winged hull]

well having only 13 would make it easier to show them all on stream

[warm gale]

I mean, what all the subs anny farmed are for if not for that?

[cunning inlet]

Good thing I keep the 1.0 version around and just upload a v1.1 with all the changes

[charred hamlet]

Our buildtrain replaced the file

[fleet goblet]

(best case scenario a third party has the previous version downloaded and can verify it)

[past meadow]

I have a few, if any of them are the 6 in question

[fleet goblet]

tutelquest is from last year what

[waxen trail]

Finding Neuro 2023

[pale iron]

Truly a remnant of the past

[winter aurora]

I do have some. but mostly was low rated downloable (and yeah I know neurosu do not work here kek. I think ?)

[past meadow]

Ah, yeah, I played a few from last year

[tacit wasp]

Also have a few on hands

[warm gale]

Deleted the zip with his own game smh

[native chasm]

I've got a few

[past meadow]

Different folder

[fleet goblet]

Airis's Revenge

[cunning inlet]

I imagined that Alex would save all games ahead of time so I deleted everything after I finished playing

unlucky

[tacit wasp]

Ah is it one of the wanted games?

[native chasm]

lso evil in time, back to neuro v2 and the fallen god

[cunning inlet]

ooo, "Evil's Empire" is a game title that could go hard

[waxen trail]

Ngl I kind of want to make an Evil management game

[native chasm]

I deleted but haven't yet removed from recycle bin

[misty tree]

wait so am i reading it right that the results of the game jam have all been all tossed out a window?

[waxen trail]

Alex working with Itchio to fix it

[fleet goblet]

they aren't tossed out, itch needs to trigger recalculation

[earnest wind]

No the game jam votes got jammed

[misty tree]

oh i see

[waxen trail]

Jammers in chat did this

[warm gale]

We need to game them all over again

[fleet goblet]

yes please send

[tacit wasp]

It's too big for Discord, wait a second please

[torpid bridge]

I wonder if Alex has played and enjoyed Memory Lanes because he is in it i think

[native chasm]

Is it time for selfplug?

[fleet goblet]

Do you have that game downloaded?

...Did anyone ever?

(it was web build wasnt it...)

[torpid bridge]

It was I think

No one downloaded it

[warm gale]

The best time for it

[warm rampart]

guys guys there's an easier solution here: we simply host another game jam right now

timer starts in 5

[old adder]

no god please no

[waxen trail]

[frank canopy]

I updated my game and deleted/reuploaded old file, but I have the version just before the submission on github. You could checkout the version on December 30th and build it yourself if you want

[fringe star]

this is my old file, rather than deleting, i always make old versions downloadable and just make the new version play in browser

[torpid bridge]

No one downloaded it, only played on the web

[tame rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/buh-b-u-h-cat-silly-кот-gif-2242355352608793340

[winter aurora]

Good idea ! gota toss my exams

[torpid bridge]

Even though there's a download button

[native chasm]

Theme: remnants of the future?

[torpid bridge]

Prosperity of the Future

[warm gale]

We ready

[winter aurora]

remnants of 2024 neuro game jam

[torpid bridge]

If you wanna download it Alex https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[fleet goblet]

@calm sandal are you around?

[old adder]

a clone of 2024 game jam game

[past meadow]

I am creating the new Miro board

[calm sandal]

Yes, what's up?

[tacit wasp]

You have to remake the game you think was the best based off what you remember

[fleet goblet]

do you still have the original file that you uploaded to itch?

[warm gale]

Our aetist deoartment will have to build a pc first.

We are in the forest now

[native chasm]

everyone team up with Eliv in Time devs and make Time in Eliv

[warm gale]

But we have the componments

[tame rapids]

Now that i think of it, were there any racing games this game jam?

[calm sandal]

It's still there, just hidden. Should I unhide it?

[tough lichen]

stop running

[fleet goblet]

Yes, please unhide it!

[atomic stream]

@sleek reef just finished the updated version :3

[old adder]

yes, there was one!

[past meadow]

Carve assets on the tree bark and send with pigeons

[old adder]

https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3209173

[torpid bridge]

YIPPEE!!!!

[calm sandal]

Done

[atomic stream]

[fleet goblet]

Keep it unhidden until the results are announced please. Feel free to rename it if you want though.

[atomic stream]

ngl i didnt even notice it was counting to 25 levels until level 24

[calm sandal]

Sure, sorry for trouble

[fleet goblet]

no worries i completely forgot i had to download everything so its on me

[old adder]

why do you need to download everything

[sleek reef]

just read through the messages, seems like theres a situation going on rn, i'll leave the game jam version unhidden for my game for the time being (its a web build tho)

[torpid bridge]

Btw did anyone ever implement Neuro integration in their games when it's optional?

[native chasm]

ig to rate unchanged versions cuz people can change after voting ends

[fleet goblet]

(IF!!! vedal wants to rate the games and pick a winner) he needs to play the jam versions
(idk what he wants to do but just in case i had to have downloaded everything, but i forgot)

[bold wolf]

We've been working on it since the jam ended here and there

[zenith flicker]

Yes there were some iirc

[old adder]

surely he will play my game

[tame rapids]

so that vedal can play games that were made during jam

[earnest wind]

I doubt Vedal will play mine but if he does I still got the submission ROM on my gameboy

[torpid bridge]

Literally no one downloaded Memory Lanes, so we are kinda screwed I think

[cunning inlet]

Anyone got any predictions on what they think their game will rank at or what they think the top 5 will be?

[fleet goblet]

@sleek reef unhid the original version, thank you!
Feel free to rename it if you want but please keep it unhidden until the results are announced.

[old adder]

meet the tutel at starbucks and let him play it

[torpid bridge]

Nice! So we are good

👍

[earnest wind]

lol nah I can just take it back from the cartige flashcard

[fleet goblet]

@earnest wind is the original version of your game still up on itch but hidden?

[warm gale]

Play all of them? Have a feeling, he won't want this

[atomic stream]

the advantages of not having an updated version ready

[fleet goblet]

Not all of them, BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE TOP ONES ARE BECAUSE ITCH IS BROKEN

[fringe star]

yo Alex, should i hide the new version if i already updated the game, i still have the old version as a downloadable in itch but im wondering is should i set it back to playable in browser?

[earnest wind]

The web build and rom got updated, I dont have the web build anymore but I still got the previous ROM version

[torpid bridge]

classic itch.io always being broken

[earnest wind]

I never expected this to happen

[torpid bridge]

Oh wait Mico, you made the Gameboy game right?

[tacit wasp]

Time for Vedal to boot up BGB

[fleet goblet]

im taking 1 L for forgetting to download the games but im passing off the other L to itch for not being able to tell me (or anyone else for that matter) which games have won

[warped forge]

I downloaded the web build for the GB game yesterday, if that's what's wanted.

[tacit wasp]

Why did I think that means you were gonna drink 1L of whatever

[atomic stream]

are the ratings just gone?

[tame rapids]

nope

[atomic stream]

i thought the same i was so confused 😭

[tardy geyser]

is this how L math works

[warm gale]

1L to the comminity for not making only one game for voting to be obvious

[tardy geyser]

just pass it on

[hasty drift]

survival of the L'est

[torpid bridge]

Y'know what would be funny? If next game jam all of us who are chatting right now become a team

Very unlikely though

[winter aurora]

next year just let the community make a game with ~200 dev & artists

[waxen trail]

This marks a second game jam where Itch.io delayed our results (out of 2 game jams)

[unreal plinth]

Each dev writes 1 line max, and each artist 1 sprite

[past meadow]

I think 13 is the upper limit for a game-jam team, speaking from experience

[buoyant flower]

My experience working in a group of 10 programming students - 1 person will end up doing everything for the final build in the end.

[atomic stream]

1 pixel*

[warm gale]

Vedal after having to gift 100 lamps

[tacit wasp]

There's a point where a team has too many people to work, I think we may reach that point

[earnest wind]

Is that much of an issue for vedal to play the updated games anyway? I doubt anyone changed much from their games

[tacit wasp]

If he wants to vote, it's better if he plays the gamejam versions

[torpid bridge]

Because he has to rate the original uploaded games for rating

[atomic stream]

it is unfair for the people that did not update

[tacit wasp]

We don't know how much has been fixed or changed

[fleet goblet]

Yes, could you please send it to me in private messages?

[waxen trail]

20 managers, different departments, a Neuro AAA game in 3 days (after deciding on the final idea 2 days into the jam)

[cunning inlet]

I still have no idea what I'll do next game jam, but there's plenty of time until I have to think about it

[earnest wind]

yooo thanks, I never expected someone to actualy download the web build lol

[unreal plinth]

If 1 programmer can make a game in 3 days, 100 programmers can make the game in 43min, it's just basic maths

[native chasm]

next year it will be more like 500

[waxen trail]

Make another banger

[warm gale]

We were very close to having more

[fleet goblet]

Last 3 games im looking for are

• https://d793.itch.io/guilds-tournament-neuro-edition
• https://ratchanonp.itch.io/super-pinball-mega
• https://dont-give-up-skeleton.itch.io/cursed-creature-battle-bonanza

if anyone has their old versions downloaded let me know

[torpid bridge]

WAIT WHAT IF WE MADE A GAME THAT FEATURES ALL COLLAB PARTNERS AND NEURO ENJOYERS, LIKE HOLOCURE BUT FOR NEURO

[old adder]

what if we all made a minigame for vedals game

[buoyant flower]

Isn't someone already working on that?

[native chasm]

this will be perfect lol

[tacit wasp]

Like an actual fangame or a mod for Holocure?

[torpid bridge]

I don't know tbh, if that's the case then that would be cool

WAIT

are you looking for this: https://discord.com/channels/574720535888396288/1184879711399190649

[past meadow]

Yeah, and even that way we had 1 artist that barely got his art put in the game

[fleet goblet]

Send in dms please

[unreal plinth]

Just pair program

[atomic stream]

why are we putting "-like" in the name of every genre

[cunning inlet]

that last link has an "original submission" download link at the bottom, although it has a later submission date, so can't tell if actually original or not

[tardy geyser]

you can follow the development in the forum thread (https://discord.com/channels/574720535888396288/1184879711399190649)

[frank canopy]

@fleet goblet I'm the author of the cursed creature battle bonanza. The reuploaded version (marked OUTDATED) is identical to the original upload, but of course the timestamp is different. If you'd like I can give you access to the github repo and you can checkout the version that was commited on the 30th and build it yourself

[warm gale]

Poor otjareniy. He's crying right next to me rn

[atomic stream]

wait i just noticed why are ratings open

😭

[buoyant flower]

I have downloaded guild tournament a few days ago

[atomic stream]

ah i see lol

If it is still needed

[native chasm]

someone who haven't yet saw pinned message ig

[hasty drift]

a lot of game jammers are not active in this channel, they might just assume a rating period extension

[lethal egret]

I played 120 game jam games so far

[tame rapids]

holy, that's a lot

[hasty drift]

many

[earnest wind]

trooper

[bold wolf]

wow

[lethal egret]

I'm still missing 158 games This will take a while

[fleet goblet]

That's fine and it's better than nothing, but still if anyone else has it downloaded it wouldn't hurt to do a hash check.

okay i have all games downloaded now, rating period extension is over

now we wait for itch to fix their stuff

[buoyant flower]

Is now the time to update?

Or wait a bit?

[fleet goblet]

you can update!

[fringe star]

I think we should wait for safety's sake

oh neat

[fleet goblet]

i downloaded everything

[cunning inlet]

if you update, keep the original as well

just in case

[zenith flicker]

ETA?

[fleet goblet]

i pinged <@&574720716025626654> in their discord server

they are offline i think its safe

[tardy geyser]

This is role ping

[proud smelt]

There is a user named admin in the server? 😛

[lethal egret]

Who names on discord like that?

[fringe star]

no results of people named admin showing in the search tab

[atomic stream]

i think it's much clearer whats going on now with the changes to the tutorial, skill descriptions, etc. which is really nice, i really like also that the tutorial shows how the defend and evade works so that makes a lot more sense now, and the bug that ended my run last time is gone so thats great. was even more fun now to figure out strategies with a deeper understanding of the mechanics. The start was also much less frustrating now with neuro's base stats being stronger and it being easier to get new characters. The extra skills for the memory core characters is a really cool idea, and the limited uses for the special also allowed for some more interesting strategies. I think it would be nice if you could open the tutorial again at any point though instead of just at the start of the run, maybe a button in the settings or sth to see the tutorial, and would also be nice if i could see how much my stats are being increased when using a support skill (like neuro's special that buffs success rate, i would like to be able to see how much it's adding), these were things i noticed before but forgot to mention in my other comment (and that was really long as it was 😅 )
It's a really nice update! :3

why are my feedback messages always so long

😭

[bright dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/snout-scratch-sniff-long-nose-twitch-gif-24171584

[old adder]

you can tell its a role ping since it starts with & when you copy the text of the message (i think)

[fringe star]

oh, neat

[sleek reef]

i like long feedbacks its cool 👍

[quick badger]

I have an update ready but now I'm scared x)

[hasty drift]

update it, alex said he is done

not your problem

[atomic stream]

just dont delete the old build

for now

and youre gonna be fine

[fringe star]

make sure to just keep the game jam version either hidden or downloadable as a safety measure

[atomic stream]

or you could delete it too it should be fine now

but i mean

why would you

i think its nice to keep the original version there

[buoyant flower]

Post gamejam version of my game is live with an additional level!

[cunning inlet]

did anyone make any predictions on where they thought their game would place or what the top 5-10 would be?

[mental trout]

updated my game https://kaya-dev.itch.io/neuro-sama-vs-the-world, mostly just bugfixing

[hasty drift]

tutel rancher #1

[placid salmon]

Gigachad gal gun enjoyer

[quick badger]

I have no prediction I just hope to be higher than 278th

[lethal egret]

Someone who knows that game? the legend! WTF?

[cunning inlet]

I'll predict my game at #17-18, maybe #13. I've seen too many good submissions and I feel like mine might lack a bit in theming

[fringe star]

for me i think mine will be around 30th-40th at most

[cunning inlet]

if I get top 10, I'll be pleasantly surprised

[potent stirrup]

My predictions for #1 is either Evil in Time or TroubleShooting. Biased tho cause those were my favorites.

[tame rapids]

well, anyway it's best to not have too high expectations, pessimistic I know, but let down will be smaller when results drop

[lethal egret]

No matter your game positions, you all did awesome and I will play them all

[atomic stream]

alternatively, the surprise will be bigger

[tame rapids]

yep!

[placid salmon]

Gigachad monster girl enjoyer

[atomic stream]

my game barely has any game in it the only category i have a little bit of a chance in is art lol

and even in that aspect i only finished 5 sprites including the bg and no animations

[cunning inlet]

which is why I'm being modest myself as well. I think everyone did excellently

[waxen trail]

I feel like this year's jam had a serious quality jump from last year. Like, we had bangers last year, but it felt like more meme submissions / incomplete games back then

[warm gale]

I think my game will be the last

[native chasm]

here are the games I rated the highest (18+ total stars out of 25)

[waxen trail]

Also ngl the Alex x Vedal rivalry at at the start hyped me up and made me raise my personal bar

[atomic stream]

i never even knew there was a first one until this one was announced lol

[cunning inlet]

Exactly! Which is why even though I definitely surpassed my last year's submission by a lot, there's also 2.5x the amount of submissions and many are bangers, so I still think I'll get around same placement as last year xd

[native chasm]

I'd expect mine somewhere about 90-100 probably

[old adder]

unhando

[tame rapids]

good spirit, but objectively it's definitely not the case for you

[old adder]

mine is probably just below average

[warm gale]

Dont laugh at my lose, its toxic

[atomic stream]

oh wait which one was neuros of chase i remember that name

[waxen trail]

Would be cool if it was hyped up a bit more, even a ping in announcement to this channel by mods would be nice

[quick badger]

oops found some bugs in my updated version x)

[atomic stream]

OH i remember

that one is really creative

[native chasm]

yeah it was quite addictive

[atomic stream]

love how it incorporated the theme

[winged jay]

All you need in your life is a rival to motivate you

[old adder]

unhando was by far my favorite

[hasty drift]

if only vedals game could rival

[fringe star]

LOL

[warm gale]

[waxen trail]

For sure, I feel like I'll drop in ranking compared to last year but honestly I really don't mind - other teams cooked harder and I had a more ambitious idea which I switched to later on in the jam costing me a lot of time

Still really glad with what we made and that's what really counts

[native chasm]

my fav was probably Left Behind cuz I just love stuff like that, but I tried to stay as objective as possible for all ratings so it isn't 25/25

[atomic stream]

next jam my engine will actually work and ill sleep properly and ill know how to make a strategy game so ill actually have a real game to show

[cunning inlet]

I forgot what you made last year, but your game idea this year was excellent, it's fun, unique and replayable, so I feel like it'll do well nonetheless ^^

[waxen trail]

"I'll sleep properly"

[old adder]

fr im proud of myself, first game and game jam i've done, learnt a lot and i think if there is a next time i'll do a lot better

[charred hamlet]

I'd like to place top 10 again, but damn everyone really cooked this year

[atomic stream]

🥲

[waxen trail]

I'm half worried I messed up the audio score with repetitive sound effect and visuals with the stock UI I used but it is what it is, and glad you feel that way

Last year I made this!
https://superobot1.itch.io/neuros-lost-and-found-kingdom

[hasty drift]

that game was quite goated

[waxen trail]

Legendary game honestly

[fringe star]

Yep, everybody cooked really hard, its not medium rare, its f#cking congratulation

[winter aurora]

oh I remember it !

[native chasm]

1000% true

[cunning inlet]

oh yeah I remember, I saw that one! That one was quite interesting as well, but you definitely made something way more addictive this year

[past meadow]

Tief's soundtrack was so good

[native chasm]

[waxen trail]

True, but last year's submission had Neuro's "Gymbag!" sound effect when you picked up the gymbag item and you won it by ||covering vedal in stink|| so I think it wins lmao
Though I'm looking at it with nostalgia and I like both games for their own strongpoints

[waxen trail]

Yes! I talked to Tieff and they couldn't compose for this jam sadly 😔 really happy with the Sea Shanties that GrabThatBread made this year though, get me in the seafaring mood

[tame rapids]

soon this channel will be archived and abandoned

[hasty drift]

[earnest wind]

The stream gained +2K viewer right after that then it went back down

[winged jay]

I think next year will be even crazier

[waxen trail]

Shoutout to #2023-game-jam my beloved

[zenith flicker]

This is so sad. Can we get 5 gifted subs

[atomic stream]

[native chasm]

Soon it will become a remnant of the past

[atomic stream]

omg

[waxen trail]

This is so sad chat, can we break 1 hype train record?

[atomic stream]

someone should have made a game about this channel in the future being a remnant of the past

[cunning inlet]

the 3rd last message in the channel is mine, and it's a link to Vedal playing the top submissions, which is very convenient :D

[native chasm]

I'm rpetty sure at least one game mentioned this gamejam directly

[earnest wind]

So I'm guessing we're just waiting for itch io fix it now?

[atomic stream]

yup

[earnest wind]

Man I wanna go to sleep too

[atomic stream]

same

[waxen trail]

Same I need the results to move on

[native chasm]

It went something like "It's like a remnant of the past!", "Wait, didn't we have a gamejam with that theme a long ago?"

[atomic stream]

i stayed up all night rating submissions before the voting deadline

[hasty drift]

feel like a game dev channel would be good to keep around, it is quite diff from the target group of #programming and if more and more ppl want to make games outside of the game jam to for example include the neuro sdk to provide content, then its worth considering

[atomic stream]

lmfao i need to see this

[waxen trail]

I really really agree with you

[tame rapids]

quite possible that itch staff may be sleeping

so results might come out tomorrow

[native chasm]

I think it was here
https://itch.io/jam/neuro/rate/3213333

[fringe star]

this is so sad, alexa, play despacito

[cunning inlet]

how foolish of me to think the results would come out today and Vedal would start tacking the top submissions today as well

[tacit wasp]

I agree too

[atomic stream]

honestly i feel like since #programming doesnt look too active making a separate channel for that that would probably be even less active wouldnt be great

but idk i literally joined this server just for this game jam

[hasty drift]

idk i looked sometimes into programming after the og game jam channel closed and i never found a conversation id add to lol

[atomic stream]

hm makes sense

[waxen trail]

I think mods probably feel the same way
Though maybe... we can keep it up and then delete if inactive? 🥺

[civic fractal]

game stuff and #programming regrettably don't mix well

[tame rapids]

yeah it's mostly computer hardware and general programming not related to game dev at all

[civic fractal]

Just doesn't happen often

[atomic stream]

yeah i realize now game dev is broader than programming so my original message doesnt really make sense

[fringe star]

you too?

[hasty drift]

also how does one define inactive, i feel like most channels scroll too fast in this server lol

[atomic stream]

i mean i just saw 1 hour between messages

[civic fractal]

NN with perma slowmode

[hasty drift]

sometimes conversations come in waves

[native chasm]

I made an itch.io account just for this gamejam

[waxen trail]

Tbh if we have a gamedev channel then we won't need to make a new jam channel every year

[atomic stream]

i gotta play this later

[cunning inlet]

that was me last year as well lmao

[atomic stream]

true

and it looks like besides that one 1 hour gap its decently active

so i should have looked longer lol

[native chasm]

oops, meant to answer this

[tacit wasp]

Yeah it could be a thread in the channel instead

[civic fractal]

That is how it is, I am active on there

[native chasm]

I literally just wanted to see if I can stop procrastinating for at least 3 days

[atomic stream]

i joined to procrastinate further on developing the game i should actually be developing

[lusty falcon]

Any news on results yet?

[placid salmon]

Congratulations Neuro64 on surpassing abandoned pub in popularity, please be gentle with me next

[atomic stream]

waiting on itch.io

[tame rapids]

we wait for itch

[hasty drift]

results broek, no results till admins of itch fix

[fleet goblet]

Also don't blame itch for this this is 100% my fault

[hasty drift]

[lusty falcon]

Lemme contact someone to speed things up, I know a guy

[atomic stream]

lmfao

[waxen trail]

Last year jam results got delayed because of Itch, this year results delayed because of Alex... what's next year? Neuro AGI? Aliens? (no but seriously it's okay )

[buoyant flower]

Results issue is on them, partially, at least.

[lusty falcon]

What was teh issue last year? I thought they were delayed for affect tbh lol

[fleet goblet]

^

no issues last year

[waxen trail]

Itch went down RIGHT when we results were supposed to be publsihed

We were on a call and everything

It was legendary

[fleet goblet]

oh shit right i forgot about that

[atomic stream]

lmfao

[potent stirrup]

If not a channel a thread like the art one has might be cool

[native chasm]

AGI sounds quite realistic

[fleet goblet]

btw proof of my claims

[hasty drift]

ratings ended 7 days ago

[lusty falcon]

I already know I've won so no need to announce the rest tbh

[atomic stream]

thats all the submissions if you take away alex's many alts trying to pump up the numbers

[waxen trail]

Wake up jammer, ratings ended 7 years ago

[hasty drift]

you could say the ratings got... jammed

[earnest wind]

you stole my joke

[tame rapids]

joke thief smh

[atomic stream]

we are left with only remnants of the ratings we had before...

[tame rapids]

star it anyway, neurons deserve to know

[buoyant flower]

Ah yes, bugs, are just prank calls from past me.

[past meadow]

So strange that it is even possible to trigger result calculation without ending the voting period

[hasty drift]

yea, should not blame yourself but double down and say itch jam hosting side is just bad user experience

[signal monolith]

the urge to push random buttons lol

[lusty falcon]

Is there an online versino of that epic Megalovania remix from the game Vedal played on stream a few days ago?

[tacit wasp]

It released on Youtube today iirc

https://youtu.be/w7ST3RVX-W8

[tame rapids]

email is about jam

[earnest wind]

I'm gonna take a nap, someone ping me if the winners are announced pls

[atomic stream]

im falling asleep and waking up again constantly

gnight everybody, have a great time zone,

[atomic stream]

[hasty drift]

the game jam and vedal stream sched have ruined my sleep sched

[atomic stream]

bai bai yall!

[waxen trail]

Post jam sleepover

[tacit wasp]

I'd say same but I know damn well I didn't have a sleep schedule to begin with

[hasty drift]

i have to work next monday and my sleep sched is completely reversed

[native chasm]

I had a meme about stealing memes somewhere but I got too lazy to search it

[earnest wind]

[hasty drift]

morning

[native chasm]

Whoops, didn't see that u went to sleep yet

Gn to everyone who went to sleep

[civic fractal]

I can't wait to be able to see the results normally and not have to wait on a VC

[native chasm]

Last time I checked I was 41st

[hasty drift]

popularity does not corelate to high rating, there are quite some susge games in high popularity. I believe popularity also comes from the games popularity outside the game itself

[native chasm]

Ik, I'm just kinda surprised by how high it is

[hasty drift]

maybe your game is just goated

[native chasm]

Definitely not the case xd

Idk why tho

[fleet goblet]

jam results arent fixed yet, im going to bed

ill see if they're fixed tomorrow

[native chasm]

Afaik it's ratio of views to downloads, right?

[hasty drift]

good night

no idea

[native chasm]

Gn then, and let the Vedal's Secret come in your dreams

[tardy geyser]

regarding the channel discussion, the game jam channel is always such a vibe to be in

i enjoyed being here

[hasty drift]

[waxen trail]

[tame rapids]

[cunning inlet]

this is like the only channel where I actively chat lmao

[tacit wasp]

[signal monolith]

some games got kicked or smth? I also went up like 3 places

[native chasm]

Same lol

[signal monolith]

weird

[tacit wasp]

Same

[waxen trail]

Same. Though I used to be more active in NN and livestream chat

[tacit wasp]

But now that I talked here, I'm more used to talk in this server in general so nice?

[tardy geyser]

[tacit wasp]

btw, have you seen the suggestion for a game-dev channel?

[tame rapids]

🚗 <--- live vedal reaction to jam issues

[tardy geyser]

#neurotic-neurons and #general-network are the wild wild west of chats tho...

[hasty drift]

I normally dont chat in huge servers so this channel is quite comfy for me as messages do not pass by so fast

[native chasm]

I would be more active in others if they weren't so fast ig

[signal monolith]

nn better ngl

than general

[tardy geyser]

i have! there's actually quite a fair bit of consideration that goes behind making a permanent channel

[tacit wasp]

nn feels very chaotic

[hasty drift]

id bet 10 gifted subs he is not even aware there are any

[native chasm]

True

[signal monolith]

he's on a trip to disneyland, let him have his vacation lol

[native chasm]

Is he even aware of gamejam?

[signal monolith]

yes, he played couple of games and made one for it

[hasty drift]

not saying he should be aware of it

[native chasm]

That was an accident

[signal monolith]

made game by accident, relatable, happens to me sometimes

[tacit wasp]

After so many crashes and flips, I wouldn't blame him for having forgotten it

[cunning inlet]

37.6% of my messages in this server were during game jams

[tardy geyser]

to be perfectly transparent, i'm not entirely sure if this channel will ever result in a game-dev-gen channel. it'll need to have the same amount of growth as https://discord.com/channels/574720535888396288/1202464797921247272 to be properly considered i'd think

[hasty drift]

thank you for your work 👍

[waxen trail]

No way, there is an artist general?

[tardy geyser]

we can start off from a forum post, and once we gather enough evidence that it'll both be properly moderated and active, then i can maybe make an appeal

[tardy geyser]

as a forum post, yeah! some behind the scenes things are going on to see if we can get a full general channel for the artists 👀

[native chasm]

Could you check for me please, search on phone works quite stupidly

[hasty drift]

i can see how an artist general channel would do great, artists who want to show off their WIP without creating a whole forum thread or ask for some advice, references, etc

802 overall, 800 in #2024-game-jam

[native chasm]

[waxen trail]

Would be sick I'm a fan of the forum post idea for the gamejam channel, I just thing we should let all jammers know about it here and on itch.io

[hasty drift]

also adds encouragement for people to make more games if there is a clear space for it

[tardy geyser]

[hasty drift]

imagine a future where neuro could not only decide to review fanart but also start up fanmade games with neuro sdk integration that were improved by a game review team for stream safety

[cunning inlet]

your only two messages outside of game jam:

[tacit wasp]

I got some ideas for a Neuro fangame thanks to the Game Jam, I can't actually promise I'll work on it because my work schedule is as bad as my sleep schedule but having a place to talk about it and share it if I go with it sounds nice

[cunning inlet]

I've got one idea as well, not sure if I'll actually go through with it tho

If you were in this channel at a certain point, you may have seen a gigantic bulletin list of my idea xdd

[tacit wasp]

Yeah I've seen it I think

[hasty drift]

maybe new teams can be created when there is a place to talk abt game making. like if an artist has a cute picture book story idea thing, might look for a programmer to implement the sdk

[native chasm]

Lmao

[cunning inlet]

honestly, true. I feel like people are not likely to find potential teammates to make a fun fangame in the #programming channel

[native chasm]

Trying to get over 200 atk, attempt 1, fail

[cunning inlet]

I added colorful dangling projector lights in the DDR place to make it even better, I didn't have time to do that during the jam

I also added extra facial expressions for all characters, I also didn't have time for that cuz it takes time to manage

[native chasm]

Attempt 3, I got super unlucky in the end with very few enemies...

[native chasm]

I'll play tomorrow!

[hasty drift]

you can 1shot the boss any time

[placid salmon]

This is the list of things I'll do for the post jam update

And these are cool things that honestly would be too much work

[cunning inlet]

I added my own full patch notes as well, just like last time

[native chasm]

Omg I just had such a good run but event where fog advances 1 turn killed me

[native chasm]

That's the plan XD

[native chasm]

I was like at 140 atk and still had about 5x5 map

[quick badger]

Updated my game as well!! yipee

[tacit wasp]

Alright, I think that's my plan so far for the next updates

[lament ermine]

Have exams, but I get a little bit done when I can

[hasty drift]

ToDo be like:
rewrite whole game

[tacit wasp]

Honestly, I could remake the whole game in Unity if I wanted to now that I can actually start it
But probably not

[cunning inlet]

"Use hats to delete children" is such a funny out of context sentence lmao

[quick badger]

for me it's: make whole game xD
I need a few more than 5 cards for it to be complete I think

[hasty drift]

my code got so spaghetti, that i kinda dont wanna add more stuff to it

[civic fractal]

Another Obsidian user, Based

[slate mist]

hey guys i just woke up

[tacit wasp]

Question for anyone that played Stream of Memories:
Have you ever seen the text of the Game Over screen go completely wrong? Like missing letters and such?

[slate mist]

is result up?

[signal monolith]

this is my changelog for now, I'm a bit scared to upload anything before jam results

[slate mist]

oh its not. ok.

[tacit wasp]

There's a problems with the results and only Itch can fix it

[native chasm]

New record

[placid salmon]

If my game doesn't sound funny while developing it then I know I'm not in the right track

[signal monolith]

Tell alex there is a problem with my results

[native chasm]

This was such a good run

[tame rapids]

vedal just said that he will play game jams tomorrow

[signal monolith]

yeah, I know

[tacit wasp]

Bug fixing is going fine

[native chasm]

Makes sense tbh

[next hull]

where can i see this?

[native chasm]

What's your game?

[next hull]

Castle of the first

[cunning inlet]

I love 'borrowing' assets from other places. Gotta be one of my favorite parts of game dev

actually, as much of a highlight as the DDR section of the game is, I think the boss is actually really solid as well. I love how I utilize the character splitting both to dodge attacks and deal extra damage, it's quite fun

[native chasm]

https://itchanalytics.vercel.app/jam/neuro/3211845

[junior elm]

are people free to update their games now? did alex install all the jam versions ?

[hasty drift]

yea

[tacit wasp]

https://simbel.itch.io/stream-of-memories/devlog/864154/post-game-jam-patch-101
First patch is out, tried to fix a few issues like text fading too slowly 👍

Probably won't announce 1.0.2 since it's just to fix one issue that I can't be bothered to fix now

[next hull]

im so dead

[proud smelt]

How?

[next hull]

haven't had time to rate games

work starts in 6h

[proud smelt]

But why is it negative? 😛

[next hull]

i dont know

[cunning inlet]

I think this is pretty alright

[signal monolith]

it's pretty good

[old adder]

average

[native chasm]

Because rated way less than got votes

Vedal is like under -2.5 karma for sure

[tidal tusk]

this is vedal's karma lol

[pale iron]

It didn’t update the stats for mine

[native chasm]

Here's mine

Thank you, gentlemen.

[tidal tusk]

looking good

neurtris was fun

[signal monolith]

GOOD LOOKING NUMBERS

[tepid cove]

no

[tacit wasp]

It may be but Alex is asleep right now anyway

[native chasm]

Tech VTuber of the year is so high tech that just his name breaks weak technologies...

[idle ivy]

Unhando post-jam update
https://jwapobie.itch.io/unhando

with silly shader for no reason

[tidal tusk]

lavalamp shader

[old adder]

alright my sidequest got a sidequest

[thorn osprey]

reason: i asked for it but i was too weak to do it myself

[idle ivy]

too weak after fixing bug to prevent people from getting easy score overflow

[thorn osprey]

noo, now everyone knows

[idle ivy]

there's also Neurosama API integration that is hopefully working

[old adder]

well the method i use is still there

[thorn osprey]

Yesh.. you live for now

[old adder]

[idle ivy]

legit gamer

[old adder]

i do wish that new upgrades didnt count for previous hands too

but i guess thats part of the challenge

[idle ivy]

also part of making the jam theme work into the game ww

[old adder]

one bad mod

[naive walrus]

I think it’s meshes everything together views plays and ratings

[torpid bridge]

We kinda got screwed over with popularity because of last hour rush to play games

[sleek reef]

i mean, we got 42nd in popularity which is decent

[south hazel]

Hows the gam jam results? Is there any games post-jam update?

[sleek reef]

no final score yet

my game got a post jam update
https://sealantern.itch.io/memory-lanes

[tacit wasp]

Alex solved everything on his side, now we wait for Itch to fix things and then I guess we wait for Alex to show the results or something

Game jam games maybe tomorrow on stream

[civic fractal]

[signal monolith]

I've made the postjam update for: https://jaceideu.itch.io/crazy-robot-body-blast-from-the-past
I hope somoene checks it out.
I'm going to sleep
🛌

[hasty drift]

goodnight, sleep well

https://luderu.itch.io/remnants-of-the-past-defend-neuros-memories i also updated my tower defense game if someone wants to test endless mode. current high score I am aware of is wave 87 or 13638 enemies defeated

[tacit wasp]

I'll probably replay both games tomorrow if my exams don't kill me
Endless Tower Defense sounds very fun

[south hazel]

what changed?

[signal monolith]

there's a changelog in the description, keep in mind I've updated it yet again couple minutes ago

[south hazel]

i see

holy fuck i found an easter egg by accident

[signal monolith]

There's one hidden in every level now

Other ones are WAY HARDER to reach

But it is possible

Try cutting them if you havent

[placid salmon]

https://ivchill.itch.io/neuro-sama-tutel-rancher/devlog/864232/neuro-sama-tutel-rancher-post-jam-v10

Here is my post jam update, I won't update this game for a long while unless for bug fixes, really happy with the results.

New tutels.

[waxen wasp]

Goodmorning?
What happened?
Im okay to launch the update? Ifell asleep early

[signal monolith]

Alex broke something, itch needs to fix ot before results will be revealed

Voting period is over

[waxen wasp]

[signal monolith]

You can upload now, but i would still leave original files too just to be sure

[south hazel]

theres a pipe here, cant reach it tho

[signal monolith]

It is possible, but very hard

If you won't figure out how to do it ill show you video after my sleep

Because i wanted to go to sleep

But i had to fix one thing lol

There's no reward for finding them

It's just for fun

[south hazel]

lol yea

nice easter egg tho

[fringe star]

crazy robot body getting the love it deserves

[void parcel]

thanks for making such an awesome game! this is the best run ive gotten so far, not sure if ill do any more but im pretty sure sub 40 seconds is possible with a lot of refinement

the ending specifically is tough because of the extremely precise hitboxes on the wires so its hard to go fast while also being able to consistently hit them (youll see i missed two and had to pause to get another in this run)

[sage canyon]

I finally updated and fixed our game no bugs (hopefully) and changes based on user feedback, I also added controller support since some people asked about it
https://woosle1234.itch.io/neuros-forgotten-memories

[south hazel]

TAS when

[waxen wasp]

new update is live!

- animation frames now appear int he correct part.
- the length of the animations has been fixed.
- the beginning and end animations now scroll.
- fixed dialogue playing at the incorrect time.
- the 3D camera now uses a collision system to keep it inside bounds
- audio channels are now handled manually to make the behavior consistent (its still glitchy during scene changes tho)
- mouse behavior during minigame 2 and 3 should be improved

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

i kept the original version file up cuz of the current situation

barely played game-jam games cuz of making this update.
fixing bugs takes more time than making games.

[fringe star]

agreed

btw, i just slept, how did 4 games sweep the pub?

crazy robot body and branching paths got a really great increase

[fringe star]

i only look at the most popular filter in itch

[civic fractal]

No offical results yet

[fleet goblet]

I already said why yesterday

[misty tree]

^ for whoever missed that
#2024-game-jam message

[slate mist]

so its time to drink some teas and keep calm and waiting

[fringe star]

[lavish escarp]

lmfao so they have to do it manually now?

[proud smelt]

Thing is, why can you even stop it before everything is done? 😛

No worries! this year´s game jam isn´t going to have issues!

Super impressive run, best one I've seen yet. I'm glad you are enjoying new speedruning features. I'm going to sleep once again for now

[waxen trail]

Surely results will be announced and Vedal will play games today

[misty tree]

surely
