2024-game-jam

[proud smelt]

Its not about the results!
Its about the friends we made along the game jam! 😛

[lament ermine]

updated the game with QOL features (but video playing is broken on WebGL 😭 )

[hasty drift]

[fringe star]

wait you wanna see it?

Basically you fail to rescue a single hero in the flashbacks missions, so all your friends are dead

There's another ending where some of your friends survive, but not all
And my personal favorite, everybody lives

oh boy, +1 ending to the 6 im preping

[hasty drift]

mfw i cant beat the score from a friend in my own game

[waxen trail]

Every dev needs a friend who's a goated playtester and a god gamer

[native chasm]

And also a friend who's a potato gamer

Btw have u seen my new atk record in Sea of Memories?

[violet surge]

[waxen trail]

Yeah!!! It's crazy very well done

[fringe star]

where?

[waxen trail]

#2024-game-jam message This one

[fringe star]

OH SHIT

[waxen trail]

Kinda ridiculous ngl

[fringe star]

more than double the time god's hp

[warm gale]

no results yet?

[fringe star]

nope

[cunning inlet]

Still no game results o:

[past meadow]

Joined Alex's stream about Neuro SDK, first thing I hear "it just doesn't work"

[signal monolith]

CLASSIC

I'm wondering, why?

[fringe star]

DESERVED

[native chasm]

Thanks!

[signal monolith]

idk, I can't exactly judge the quality of my game objectively, but why today?

[native chasm]

Next goal, each member has more damage than the time god's hp

btw this way fails because u need to have 2 camilas and frozen tutel at same time

[native chasm]

there is an event that delays fog by 2 turns iirc, right?

[waxen trail]

Yeah!

[native chasm]

I wonder which is more efficient then, 2 cumilq and delaying with events, or 1 cumilq and delaying with frozen tutels

[proud smelt]

This phrase out of context is insane 😛

[native chasm]

lol

ok yeah 1 cumilq and tutels is better

[fringe star]

i think this is more insane out of context

[proud smelt]

Vedal is going to play the game jam games on stream
I think its only fair to wave the karma thing for not voting... right?

[signal monolith]

Is cumilq strong? Arent 2 cerbers better?

[signal monolith]

Karma is mostly useless, nobody should care about ir

It only boosts your place in most karma category

Which nobody uses

[hasty drift]

i mean popular also seems extremely skewed, right before jam ended a lot of games surfaced which noone really paid attention to before

[native chasm]

this way gives you 1236 ATK. all shades of red are Imp events, magenta are cumilq, shades of blue are frozen tutels

[native chasm]

they're close but cumilq is better

[signal monolith]

Is it always the same?

[native chasm]

I mean if u swap both cumilq to server in this route, u still get 1222 which is just 14 atk less

[native chasm]

wdym?

[signal monolith]

The map I mean it's random or always the same?

What events on what spaces

[native chasm]

It's always random, this is just the way you theoretically can get max possible atk

[signal monolith]

Ok

I get you

[native chasm]

there are other ways (like u could place these tiles differently) but the order should be the same

[signal monolith]

Probably it rewards recent enagement way more

So games that started getting popularity near the end got boosted

[hasty drift]

idk how it works. maybe games that are to be downloaded have different weight as browser played one as browser played on play time can be tracked but downloaded ones not, only the download numbers? so one could just download their own game with a vpn bunch time? idk

[signal monolith]

I doubt there was any faul play

[native chasm]

if u download it with itch io app, it tracks how long u played tho

[hasty drift]

not saying there is just a theory on how pop gets calcd

[signal monolith]

For example neuro 64 probably appeared somewhere on itch's page or smth

[hasty drift]

yea but it would take into account just straight up downloaded games without the app, right?

[signal monolith]

It was very unpopular at the beginning so big raise in popularity could have boosted it very high

I have no explanation for my game though

[hasty drift]

i am not talking about a specific game, just in general

[signal monolith]

You may be right that browser games have better popularity because itch can track every play

While download only ones cant be tracked

[native chasm]

I have no idea how it works

[hasty drift]

dont think they just have better popularity, many download only games are high, i think they just have different ways to metric them

[native chasm]

which game does vedal play on VOD rn?

[hasty drift]

the game from last year?

[native chasm]

yea

[hasty drift]

https://milk-tea-september.itch.io/neuro-samas-woodland-adventure

[junior elm]

uhhh i think the top 20 games were pretty consistent in popularity

all throughout voting period (some of the games dropped a little down on that list, but i've pretty much seen all of them here tbf)

[sour horizon]

Okay, Branching Paths got its first post-jam update too:

• You can now inspect your items by right clicking or long pressing on them
• Improved the visuals of the player and the non-player characters
• Added the missing credits screen
• You can now change the settings during the gameplay too
• Removed the Quit button from the web version
• On mobile you can now see your selected item
• Minor dialog fixes and additions
• Fixed certain timeline bugs in the starting area
• Fixed some music looping issues

oh, and a link: https://shardhash.itch.io/branching-paths

[signal monolith]

I don't fucking know, itchio popular ranking is just wack

[native chasm]

thanks!

[hasty drift]

np

[native chasm]

last phase is actually quite difficult

[hasty drift]

[lament ermine]

if I had to guess, a major percentage of the views are coming from this channel and other sources dried up near the end, which is why we have Crazy Robot Body, Branching paths etc now high in popularity

[hasty drift]

those two games were always quite popular

(deserved)

[lament ermine]

true, but itch had them way lower before

oh wait

I just noticed

7d impressions went down

I think that's part of the popularity algo

[hasty drift]

mhm

makes sense

[lament ermine]

it was 20k yesterday

[hasty drift]

if its a hard reset, small numbers might wobble the whole sorting

[lament ermine]

today's 8th day, so all impressions from first day are gone

[signal monolith]

surely my shitass game and neuro 64 are the peak of this jam

[hasty drift]

to be fair there are many peak of this jam this year

last year must have been way worse

if i got #2 in fun

[signal monolith]

vedal's game is the true peak

[proud smelt]

Naaa last year was good

[signal monolith]

it implemented the theme in a very unique way

(it didn't)

[proud smelt]

but this year there are more games? 😛

[hasty drift]

more than double

[lusty falcon]

Are there people who join the Gamejam who no knowlege of Neuro-sama? They just see a Gamejam on the Itch.io schedule, join, and submit?

[hasty drift]

there were a few yes

[lusty falcon]

Just fascinated by the idea that someone submits a normal game and everyone else in the ranking is devoted to this random anime girl and they're just confused

[lusty falcon]

good on them

[lament ermine]

I think the logic there is more: I made a game, might as well submit it to every game jam I can to get some views, what could go wrong am I right

[lusty falcon]

oh yeah could be true

[hasty drift]

nah there are some games that seem to be made just for this jam but i wouldnt know if they know about neuro or not

including neuro into your game is no prerequisite, everyone just does it

[signal monolith]

being about neuro is not a requirement

[signal monolith]

yeah, it makes sense, most neuro fans, making a game for a neuro themed jam, would add neuro to their game

if you just want to make a game, and aren't a big neurosama fan, you'll probably join another jam

there were like two other jams, that had the exact same schedule as neuro-sama jam

[lament ermine]

yea I just remember Alex disqualifying one game that made an entry for another game jam and decided to submit to ours and another too

[hasty drift]

such game got not disqualified since it did not break any rule

[lament ermine]

wait did it not?

[signal monolith]

if other jams started earlier, then submiting the game also to neuro jam breaks the rules

[lament ermine]

am I misremembering?

[hasty drift]

but another game, that submitted to dozent of jams and was clearly made before the jam even started, got disqualified

[signal monolith]

if they started at the same time

it doesn't break any neuro jam's rules

[lament ermine]

ahhh ok

so just 0 on theme I guess

[hasty drift]

like 5 games got disqualified

[signal monolith]

and couple stayed

[hasty drift]

2 of em being meme uploads

[signal monolith]

I remember a unity assetflip and some gnome game

[hasty drift]

the memes were just empty files and abandoned archive

[fringe star]

i remember one just being empty files so vedal doesnt get last place

[lament ermine]

i remember that one too

[signal monolith]

it was better than vedal's game, ngl

[junior elm]

are there any top games in popularity rn that are made without any neuroverse in it ?

[signal monolith]

so it would fail at its purpose lol

treasures of the sand look like they don't have anything neuro related at the first glance

[hasty drift]

Exposition

[signal monolith]

true

[fringe star]

i think its only treasures in the sand

oh yeah that too(didnt see cuz im on 4 tiles rn)

[junior elm]

i see... well i'd think i'd prefer having a rule that needs at least somewhat relation to the neuroverse in it, since the gamejam is probably pretty biased towards that making it a little not that fair for unrelated games

although theres no need in that

[native chasm]

welp, I tried

[lament ermine]

could just be a disclaimer: we welcome non neuro-verse games, but they'll probably do worse due to the nature of the jam so be warned

[signal monolith]

I think it's fine like it is

[lusty falcon]

Yeah I think it's OK, I think it's fun that random people can join maybe they'll join the community too

Like a local cult that hosts a soup kitchen

Free soup, joining not necessary

but heavily encouraged, have you heard about our lord and saviour Neuro-sama?

[native chasm]

yea tbh this is even harder than my 225 atk

[past meadow]

My attempt at a glass canon build

Neuro's lost and found kingdom in the VOD on stream

Wait, @waxen trail is the hit sound the same in the kingdom and sea of memories?

[torpid bridge]

Who here enjoyed Memory Lanes?

Definitely was a better game that I've worked on for me than last year's Fragment Of An AI

[past meadow]

I got a bit confused with it, but the windup-cooldown combat was pretty interesting

[torpid bridge]

Yeah! It was inspired by Medabots and I would absolutely recommend looking into it!

[arctic hornet]

does anyone have any tricks to reduce the volume of the audio on some of the game jam's games other than reducing my browser's volume via volume mixer? some are egregiously loud on my system and don't have a volume slider

[lament ermine]

i remember Alex reducing the volume of the tab somehow

probably a browser extension for that

[signal monolith]

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/volume-master-kontroler-g/jghecgabfgfdldnmbfkhmffcabddioke
this one looks good, I think it's the one that alex used but I'm not sure

[arctic hornet]

that works, thanks!

[native chasm]

I'm actually using that one

[cunning inlet]

You can really tell that people enjoy your game @waxen trail because they're still having fun playing it in various ways and posting their results

[native chasm]

just played it and it's really fun

[waxen trail]

Yes I love that sound effect (made it myself!) extra crunchy. Surely I'll get a new one next jam

[native chasm]

their game is very replayable

[waxen trail]

I'm really glad that people liked it this much I'm really happy with the core gameplay loop too. I kinda wonder if I should upload the new version today or playtest it some more...

It will include a way to win using chat

(Yes it's as ridiculous as it sounds)

[native chasm]

that sounds like a challenge to win using chat before update

[waxen trail]

By the way, what do you think about Cerber and Anny being able to talk to the Anteaters? @native chasm

[native chasm]

Is it going to be feature of the game?

[waxen trail]

Just bonus stats they can ask the Anteaters for instead of a full heal

[winter aurora]

hey, its itch.io dead ? can't seems to be able to connect to it

[waxen trail]

It's down for me too

lmao

[winter aurora]

funko got them again /j

[silk basalt]

Guess he'll have to play Henry Stickmin today, RIP game jam games

[waxen trail]

We should make a gamejam bingo too

With "itch goes down" as one of the squares on the board

[native chasm]

I feel like that might make Cerber quite OP tho cuz they get a bunch of ATK already

but sounds like nice idea ig

[waxen trail]

Nice I'm adding it then

[native chasm]

yeah same for me

[waxen trail]

I'll also nerf them to 0 attack at the start so it'll work out

[quick badger]

are there plans to add more crewmembers?

[signal monolith]

RIP ITCH FOREVER MISS

Vedal's passive broke the whole itch now

[winter aurora]

use it as the free space

[waxen trail]

Would love that, depends on GrabTheBread the goated artist & composer

[quick badger]

I'd love to see Ellie or Mini get added

Or Nere!

[tacit wasp]

Oh damn, Itch.io is really down down, can't connect to the servers at all

[waxen trail]

Ooooo, good suggestions! Will let GrabThatBread know I kind of want to see Bao or Koko personally hehe

[quick badger]

tbf there's a lot of choice in the neuro extended universe nowadays x)

[signal monolith]

itch io couldn't handle alex's game

[tame rapids]

alex messed up so bad, that when itch stuff wanted to fix it, it took down whole website

(for legal reasons this is a joke)

[tacit wasp]

"And if we press this one button, everything should be fixed"
- An Itch.io employee's last words

[fringe star]

[waxen trail]

What do you think about time god having 999 hp and 1 attack? lol

[fringe star]

looks awesome

[waxen trail]

It means a lot of clicking for HP centric builds

[signal monolith]

you can try to find and destroy all metal pipes, one is hidden in every level except of the boss arena

[past meadow]

Why is Neuro 64 is top 2 in popularity 💀

Also, is it me or itch is dying?

[austere island]

https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/itch.io.html
its been down for over 7 hours

[past meadow]

Oh, I guess I had a tab open for more than 7 hours

Imagine that outage deletes uncalculated ratings in our jam

[signal monolith]

alex would never

[native chasm]

Have u considered increasing crew size by 1 so players can get whole family? Vadul, nwero, eliv and ani

[native chasm]

Against glass cannons?

Yea that makes sense

[waxen trail]

Glass cannon still works

[native chasm]

Ik

[waxen trail]

Just needs to be a bit more steep or have a bit more hp

200 dmg will still mog time god lmao

[native chasm]

It just makes sense to make buffed mobs with low dmg when glass cannons are a thing

[native chasm]

depends on your hp tho

as u can see, 225 atk but only 4 hp

I'd only deal 900 damage in 4 attacks

[waxen trail]

True but if you had 5 hp you'd still win

10 hp for 100 dmg

[native chasm]

yea this one would defeat him
200 atk, 8 hp

[waxen trail]

That one is legendary too lmao

[native chasm]

not as good as 3 vedals beating time god imo

[waxen wasp]

Any update on the results situation yet?

[native chasm]

I tried and it's actually very hard

[native chasm]

well itch.io is still broken

[fringe star]

wait

https://tenor.com/view/craftopia-craftopia-server-is-dead-server-is-dead-server-is-gif-25353307

[turbid saddle]

The real game jam result was the friends we made along the way

[native chasm]

the real game jam result was the remnants of the past we made along the way

[waxen trail]

Itchio is but a remnant of the past, an abandoned archive

[old adder]

the real game jam result are the games we made along the way

[native chasm]

the real remnant of the past is the gamejam we lost along the way

[warm gale]

Not realistic. There's always someone missing

[old adder]

what if

7 seas

each one upgrades the ship

conquer the 7 seas

[native chasm]

u mean game or streams? either way there were times when it came true (except in game I couldn't get 4th member)

[waxen trail]

Why did I do this? because I could lmao

[warm gale]

Irl

[native chasm]

this gave me an idea
what about endless mode, where defeating the time god sends u back to first tile and removes crewmates, but the captain keeps their stats and all mobs are now double HP and ATK

[native chasm]

it is rare but possible

[waxen trail]

That's a really cool idea idea for a campaign mode

[native chasm]

what do u think about adding achievements?

like beating game in lowest possible amount of turns, e.g.

[waxen trail]

Does it need achievements if it's not a steam game? I feel like only a few players would *care about the achievements

Or really enjoy the achievements

Maybe though

But a turn counter is a great idea

[native chasm]

idk, I just feel like it would be a nice addition

[waxen trail]

Good suggestion either way

I'm honestly conflicted between time god having 999 hp and 1 dmg or 499hp and 2 dmg

999 looks cooler but beating him takes too many clicks with HP centric builds

[signal monolith]

i think the more balanced option is better

[waxen trail]

Which one is that?

[signal monolith]

500/499 hp 2 damage

more varied

allows for more strategies

[waxen trail]

I kinda think I'll go for it too maybe...
Though both of these are kinda equally balanced mathematically imo

[native chasm]

make it 512 hp cuz it's 1000000000 in binary

[waxen trail]

That's a neat idea haha

[signal monolith]

but I think 2 damage is more appropariate for a final boss

[old adder]

what if you put it on steam tho 👀

[signal monolith]

1 dmg is a bit pathetic

ngl

it's not sans

[native chasm]

sans be like

[signal monolith]

bruh

we thought of the same thing

[old adder]

one brain cell

[waxen trail]

[waxen trail]

If I make a non Neuro version and put it on Steam it'll have achievements

[native chasm]

the weakest enemy

[signal monolith]

SANS ANDERTALE IS TIME GOD NEURO SAMA CONFIRMED NESS ??????

[old adder]

why non-neuro

[native chasm]

make the time god have 1 atk 1 hp but when u "kill" it it reverts time and is still alive

[signal monolith]

I kinda makes sense why time god deals 1 damage, it's time, It kills slowly, from old age

[waxen trail]

If it was the Neuro version I'd probably need to ask Vedal for permission, ask the artist to sign a contract that lets me use their art assets and music, and it might have a smaller audience on top of that (only Neuro fans)

But tbh I'm not super opposed to it either lol

[old adder]

oh yea fair

[signal monolith]

I think it would be a good game even without neuro theming

[old adder]

im thinking of making a better version of mine featuring cerber and minawan

[signal monolith]

it can have some original characters or be just pirate themed

[native chasm]

actually old age doesn't kill but rather make you weak and vurnerable, so your body just can't handle even low damage

[waxen trail]

Let me know if you do, I'd love to try it out

[native chasm]

true

[waxen trail]

Itch.io crash any%

[old adder]

gonna be while cuz going back to work this week and im not an artist either

[native chasm]

your guesses, how long will it last?

[waxen trail]

24 hours max? but not sure

[earnest wind]

The subathon is gonna be over before we get to have the gamejam results at this rate

[signal monolith]

alex just loves edging us with the suspense

(don't take it out of context)

[native chasm]

did Alex crash it to sneak into itch.io servers and change his rates to all 5's and Vedal's Secret to all 1's?

[waxen trail]

Abandoned archive is going to get released before the gamejam results at this rate

Nah I don't think it'd be that long lmao

[old adder]

[signal monolith]

maybe it's that way to teach us something

[signal monolith]

maybe we shouldn't be consumed by greed wondering who will win

the real winner is the friends we made along the way

[old adder]

[signal monolith]

and we can all agree that vedal's game was the worst lul

(it wasn't that bad tbh)

[native chasm]

why is their name at left of message and not at top

[old adder]

compact mode discord

[signal monolith]

illegal discord hacks

hackerman

[old adder]

im vanilla

[signal monolith]

Greatest game was definitely the one that forced you to wait for couple of minutes while playing annoying sounds

it was so peak

and you played pacman

[native chasm]

whats that

first time hearing abt it tbh

[signal monolith]

With avatars enabled it's not that bad

but too much text

lol

for me

[old adder]

im used to irc so even this feels very whitespace-y for me

[native chasm]

ohh interesting

I'd prefer keep avatars tho

[old adder]

well thats why its an option

[void parcel]

compact mode

[tame rapids]

itch is up

[waxen trail]

Oh wait itch works

[tame rapids]

still no results though

[waxen trail]

[fringe star]

Itch is back

[native chasm]

at least I can play sea of memories now

[native chasm]

just wait a bit, I'll get there soon

got second chat too late

[waxen trail]

Looking

[native chasm]

I need some way to get more hp

[waxen trail]

Digging deep can help

[slate mist]

I hete my life

[waxen trail]

Why? are you doing okay?

[native chasm]

yea I got +4 captain hp but then died cuz had no enough damage

[slate mist]

I'm overtime for 6 hrs now hueheue

I'm fine actually

Just bit of jmtired

Thx

[waxen trail]

Hope you can rest soon

[waxen trail]

That's nice but stuff like +8hp is where it's really at >:D

Or multiple +4

[slate mist]

[waxen trail]

I guess

[native chasm]

done

oh wait nvm

he has 99 hp not 90

[waxen trail]

NOOOOO

Only 3 ATK away

[native chasm]

damn if I fleed once I'd be able to do it

but I attacked and it got full health

I can't find any Chat now

but I get a bunch of cumilq

[signal monolith]

Why I'm suddently getting so many views?

[old adder]

did you update it?

[signal monolith]

yes, like 10 hours ago

[old adder]

maybe that then, idk if itch pushes them or anything but at least people could be sorting by recently updated or osmething

[signal monolith]

it suddently is 1# most popular today in this jam

for some reason

I cannot comprehend

[old adder]

itch

[native chasm]

this games gives me like 3+ cumilq every game and 1 chat every 3+ games

not 2 chats but it's close ig

noooo not the softlock

well that was quite a challenge

[waxen trail]

Actual legend

[unreal plinth]

Your game is "Troubleshooting" and is made in Unity, right?
Unity does let you play mp4 videos in WebGL build (In fact my jam game includes one for the intro), it's just done a bit differently than how you'd normally do it.
You have to use the StreamingAssets folder and reference it by URL, instead of assigning the video clip to the Video Player component like normal. (This approach also should work for non-WebGL builds as well)
(This was many hours ago though, so maybe you've already figured this out, sorry for the ping if so)

[lament ermine]

I already tried that, it works when I run the build locally but not so on itch

Thanks anyways tho

[unreal plinth]

Maybe something with the compression you've selected in the settings? Cause mine plays in the itch embed just fine

[lament ermine]

Huh

I'll look at that tomorrow

[unreal plinth]

Like click on "Human Player" and a video should start up
https://tatoyoda600.itch.io/operation-chicken-nabbing

[lament ermine]

Tmr, am about to go sleep rn

[unreal plinth]

If you need help with it tomorrow, lemme know, I can send you any settings I might have set 👍

[lament ermine]

Thank you!

[native chasm]

gn!

[lament ermine]

[waxen trail]

Can we update our builds?

[native chasm]

yea probably

[tame rapids]

alex already downloaded everything so i think it's okay now

[fringe star]

i think so, but just to be safe dont delete the file on the gamejam

[quick badger]

i updated and no one told me I should'nt have

[waxen trail]

Man my game's downloaded version lacks screen scaling, I hope Vedal won't play the jam version downloaded lmao

[quick badger]

do you take feedback btw?

[waxen trail]

Yes! Give me all the feedback

[quick badger]

I found a bugs while playing, the angel's blessing says it give +2 HP but only gives one in my experience

[waxen trail]

Oooo that's good intel

Let me fix that

[quick badger]

also if you die to the imp event (yeah yeah I know x) ) it says you died to ermshark in the deathscreen

[native chasm]

oh btw a few times I had a bug where, upon entering tile with monster it didn't load and that tile was like if fight ended

but there was no fight

[waxen trail]

Very weird

Idk what the monster bug is about

[native chasm]

I should've been recording

[tacit wasp]

Damn I ain't getting the WR yet

I recorded all my attempts up until now but just realized I didn't record the sound

[native chasm]

which game is that

[tacit wasp]

Crazy Robot Body
https://jaceideu.itch.io/crazy-robot-body-blast-from-the-past

[native chasm]

ohh

i forgot how ending screen looked xd

[tacit wasp]

It's the new ending screen for the speedrunning mode in the postjam update

[native chasm]

ohhh

[void parcel]

what time are you getting to the boss by?

[quick badger]

Chat win was cool so I went for coldfish win

rumless too, would made it easier x)

[tacit wasp]

36 seconds
I have some troubles with the second level and when I finally passed it, I forgot where the windows in the 3rd level were so I sometimes have a full stop there

[void parcel]

ah rip

heres my fastest recorded run if it can help you at all

i think the absolute upper limit for getting to the boss is around 16.7 seconds, maybe 16.5 if its absolutely flawless

[tacit wasp]

It's actually from your run that I learn you can jump above the wall in the first level

[void parcel]

oh cool lol

[waxen trail]

No way that's sick!!!

[signal monolith]

I'm cooking something new

[void parcel]

👀 👀 👀

exciting

[tacit wasp]

👀

My hands hurts from trying to speedrun lmao
I should probably take a break and look for the pipes for now

[native chasm]

yooo your map generator is pretty cool

[waxen trail]

Thank you it's probably my most popular Itch.io creation

[quick badger]

I'm trying for vedal only now but it's so tough x)

[native chasm]

yeah I tried but god bored xd

[void parcel]

ok so sub 16.5 boss is very possible
(ignore boss fight, i was too focused on just getting to the boss quickly)

[hasty drift]

i added a windows build for my game, dunno why someone would prefer it over web built ig more options to play always better

[native chasm]

I feel like it could've had a few more features tho, do u take suggestions?

[waxen trail]

Ngl I haven't developed it in ages so it's unlikely it'll get an update

[hasty drift]

wth that looks sped up

[waxen trail]

But you can share anyway

[waxen trail]

He's actually insane no way

God tier b hopping

[native chasm]

Sadge

[signal monolith]

@void parcel I've made an update, now you get a special mark on the end screen if you complete the game without dying and or while breaking all the pipes

[void parcel]

awesome

does it include the tutorial pipe as well?

[signal monolith]

it doesn't, but you get extra special mark if you also get the tutorial pipe

[void parcel]

ooooo

[signal monolith]

but you cant do deathless at the same time

cause you have to die to get tutorial pipe

[void parcel]

yeah thats why i was wondering

[signal monolith]

you also have to run on speedrun mode after tutorial, because end screen shows only on speedrun mode

[tacit wasp]

I just found the tutorial pipe
Music to my ears 🩸

[native chasm]

I think choosing size of map would be nice! (or do I not see it there?)

also maybe some interactions between civillizations

[signal monolith]

I wonder if someone will be able to get pipe% deathless xddd

[void parcel]

omg thank you sm! your game is one i wanted to try getting a high score in, but my computer hates web games so it was too painful trying to play at 5 fps

[hasty drift]

oh wow, then someone actually wanted a windows build, good to know

[void parcel]

i meant to leave a comment at some point but forgot

[hasty drift]

friends high score of reaching wave 87 is still unbeaten. one should definitely reduce the audio when attempting. the hit sound is super quiet but when it triggers 100 times the same moment..

[fringe star]

quick question, do we have a list of all the neuroverse characters?

[hasty drift]

people who collabed with neuro as in neuroverse? i saw in the forum someone makinga graphic with all the collabs ever

[warm gale]

1. Neuro
2. Evil
3. dont remember, there should be at least one more

[fringe star]

no like, which characters are we allowed to have in the gamejam?

[cerulean jetty]

Last year I used Neuro, Evil,Vedal, and Anny.

[fringe star]

i'm worried about that kinda stuff

[warm gale]

Who ever you want

[cerulean jetty]

Camimi also did not complain for the "Abandoned Pub", Cerbi had one entire game for her, Mini was in "troubleshooting".

[fringe star]

should i use tutel rancher as reference?

[hasty drift]

what do you mean "allowed"
idk if anyone would rip your head off if you include one of neuro friends in the game

[warm gale]

[tacit wasp]

You can use anyone but Hiyori I think?

[mortal barn]

[fringe star]

i got sued for being a horrible person, my bag only grazed the person, got accused of dumb stuff, now i want to try to play it as safe as possible

[hasty drift]

did automod trigger using the h word? lmao

[hasty drift]

D:

[fringe star]

im fine now for the most part, but i just wanted to be sure if its ok

[warm gale]

No, i think it was me

[hasty drift]

oh

[mortal barn]

troobs said a thing

[hasty drift]

cant believe he said a thing

[warm gale]

Named one character from tutel rancher

[hasty drift]

happened to me too

[fringe star]

Oh

[tacit wasp]

Oh that's why a mod arrived
I thought it was for mentioning Hiyori for some reason

[mortal barn]

[warm gale]

Again

Ahhaha

[fringe star]

Wait does this trigger it H!yori

[mortal barn]

no

[native chasm]

lol I used that turtle from tutel rancher name (not even name of person it's based on)

[hasty drift]

use all the automodded words to summon exodia

[mortal barn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1091113836016320583/1324211832453337140/caption.gif

[warm gale]

Rookie mistake smh

[native chasm]

it triggers even with "ve" part

[tacit wasp]

Ah??

[hasty drift]

surely that mute would not be for too long

[waxen trail]

Updated Sea of Memories!!

[fringe star]

LETS GOOO

[mortal barn]

a specific tutel variant that appeared on stream is disallowed on the server

[native chasm]

so is now that turle in neuroverse
the one that Vedal found

[mortal barn]

thats all i will say

[fringe star]

lol

[warm gale]

Literally 1984

[hasty drift]

it says dont screenshot

[fringe star]

my bad

[zenith flicker]

Filtered! please don't screenshot

[native chasm]

"please don't screenshot this message"

lmao

[fringe star]

didnt read

my fault

[tacit wasp]

I don't understand what's happening. From my point of view, it looks like I alerted the mods 2 times in a row

[warm gale]

Didn care

[fringe star]

no worries, one was mine i think guarantee

[native chasm]

go for 3, lucky number

[tacit wasp]

Wait, that's the same image, I'm an idiot

Better

[hasty drift]

brand integrity risk detected, deploy the mods

[tame rapids]

I wonder what vedal will do since there are no results

[fringe star]

am i allowed to say why i got filtered?

[tacit wasp]

Trying to make the automod work overtime

[zenith flicker]

Avoiding automod smh

[signal monolith]

it would be super funny If automod said "filtered" when it removes a message

[native chasm]

It does but only to person who tried to send the message

[warm gale]

Try it, guys

[hasty drift]

[earnest wind]

man itch io sure are taking their sweet time fixing the game jam votes

[hasty drift]

they should just give alex admin rights over itch functions

[tacit wasp]

Getting a little bit better
My hand is suffering

[fringe star]

filtered

[tame rapids]

game jam games lost

[waxen trail]

Yippie I can have more time to make sure there's no new bugs or issues with the updated version

[native chasm]

no gamejam on stream today

[hasty drift]

i feel like he should wait till results are in anyway

[tame rapids]

at this point, this game jam will become remnant of the past

[fringe star]

[waxen trail]

I accidentally updated the jam version on itch.io with the same file (so the date looks different)

But Alex said he downloaded everything already so hopefully ok

[earnest wind]

Yeah alex downloaded everything, you're fine

[waxen trail]

Yippie

[warm gale]

People of the future will call it the abandoned gamejam

[quick badger]

[hasty drift]

tutel boat

[native chasm]

AINTNOWAY neuro said that with turned on filters
Tech youtuber of the year, lmao

[native chasm]

GG

[quick badger]

Oh shit the game updated as I refreshed xD

[placid salmon]

If you want to use vtubers in your game I suggest to use indies, some are from agencies like Hololive with Kiara, Lia with phase connect and Zentreya with vshojo, not saying something bad would happen but most companies own the vtuber.

I would suggest contacting them first and ask for permission. For another game I'm developing I asked one and she gave me the okay via email.

[old adder]

agencies may have a page what you can do with the likeness though

so fan games, fan art etc can be allowed without needing to even ask

[native chasm]

got vedal run too

[fringe star]

do you think i need to ask perms for indies?

[native chasm]

new time god is actually harder it seems

[fringe star]

i'll keep all of this in the gamejam of course

[native chasm]

oh wow I can't now spam flee before the time god

[placid salmon]

If it's inside the game jam and are indie Neuro friends, I don't think there's gonna be any problem so you don't need to ask, and even if you do they may not respond, some are really busy or for whatever reason.

So long as you don't portray them in slandering or inappropriate content it should be fine

[fringe star]

Okies thx

[native chasm]

cumilq are still op

also now I have to redo all calculations cuz of +7 massive timer raise

[native chasm]

not me just making a map to get new max atk and realising I forgot to add 2nd cumilq

[waxen trail]

NO FREAKING WAY

Thank you for playtesting it I love you guys

[native chasm]

yea np

[waxen trail]

Vedal doesn't wanna do gamejam games rn it's over jam bros... (I'm kidding lmao)

[cunning inlet]

prob waiting for results to come out so he can engage with the top ones

[tame rapids]

and alex gets donowalled by itch, it's so over

[cunning inlet]

still not sure how we're gonna do the whole SDK thing tho

[misty tree]

lol

[native chasm]

this is actually quite hard to do

[hasty drift]

opened a ticket, surely they will go through tickets fast

[native chasm]

nvm I figured it out

this is something crazy tbh

and the new max atk is 1544

[waxen trail]

Itch.io staff on the daily fighting site-wide crashes, DDOS attacks, funko pops and ignoring Alex:

[waxen trail]

That's insane

[native chasm]

yeah it is

[native chasm]

u need like, the whole map to be events (except 2 cumilq and 2 coldfish) AND you need all of these events to be exactly ones that give u needed results
all shades of red = Imp events
dark blue = raise the timer for 10 supply

u gain supplies for saying "Nuh Uh!" to imps

the beginning was the hardest to made and I'm not even sure it's the best one

[waxen trail]

Actual madness

That's crazy, that's messed up

It make sense though

[native chasm]

there is a chance that it can be improved tbh

it is the most optimized I've found, but might not be the most optimized ever

omg there actually might be

I think I found it

1576

unsure if it's still the best tho

but I feel like it is

noway u can get both cumilq earlier

[native chasm]

old version on left, new on the right, was a bit lazy to make path but it should be the same anyway

[waxen trail]

I see... I understand the start with extra camilas

[native chasm]

Yea u basically get a couple extra tutels to buy yourself some time, then go for 2 cumilq

Actually...

Oh my there is a better start

1580

[native chasm]

Only 4 atk difference

[native chasm]

This one literally leaves you with 0 supply at one point AND with 1 turn before fog catches you...

[waxen trail]

If you move with 0 supplies btw you lose

But I love the optimization

[native chasm]

Yea but only if you move with them

[waxen trail]

Dropping to 0 and gaining them instantly still keeps you alive yeah

[native chasm]

Yep that's the strat

[native chasm]

Actually wait, it gives you like 2 extra moves compared to others maps too

And since all the red tiles give you some supplies, you can escape from the time god one extra time for +7

1587 it is then

[native chasm]

You've add massive timer raise with this update, right?

[waxen trail]

Yeah! For 10 supplies

Felt like I needed something to let players get rid of massive amounts of supplies for a big reward

[native chasm]

Yeah, this new strategy uses it

[waxen trail]

It delays fog by 7

lmao Vedal got softlocked in Stanley Parable

[native chasm]

Red events are Imp, each giving you +3 supply (but also -1 to move so total +2) and you get 6 of these between massive subathon raise

6×2 = 12 so you always have enough for next massive raise and even a few more left

It's kinda like a loop. 7 tiles, of which 6 give you supply and 1 gives you +7 fog delay for next iteration. With 1 extra supply and 48 ATK after each iteration.

[atomic stream]

are we still waiting on itch for the results?

[native chasm]

You just repeat it until delaying is no more necessary

[native chasm]

Ye we still need like 48k subs or smth

[warm gale]

Subathon ends sooner than gamejam results appears

[signal monolith]

wtf is this, why today?

[void parcel]

you updated the game?

[signal monolith]

yes, but why

it's not a big update

[void parcel]

🤷

[signal monolith]

And I've got 1# popularity too

[void parcel]

its a good game

[signal monolith]

not as good as some others

it's super weird

[fringe star]

I disagree with this

[atomic stream]

yours was one of the best ones

its so fun

[fringe star]

yes,

[atomic stream]

i wanna play it again later to go as fast as possible

[void parcel]

i think most of the top games are equally as good as eachother, they just excel in different areas

[fringe star]

agreed

[signal monolith]

maybe there aren't many action games?

most are puzzle or card games

or smth

[void parcel]

this is also true

[signal monolith]

what?

[fringe star]

wasap?

[signal monolith]

guy was asking what happened to katsudonx and deleted it

[fringe star]

yes and it was me

[atomic stream]

yup

[signal monolith]

wtf

[fringe star]

i was worried whether the topic is sensitive or not

[signal monolith]

how can somebody answer when you delete it?

[fringe star]

a part of my trait is if i think i said something out of line, i apologize and clean up

[atomic stream]

i was looking for their game earlier and couldnt look up their account here on discord, i was curious what happened as well

[signal monolith]

ok, I have not idea what happended to katsudonx

[fringe star]

found their game

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

[atomic stream]

it was so cute i loved it

[waxen trail]

Same, it was great

[signal monolith]

yeah, it was super cute

[atomic stream]

i love how the neuro sprite would change after you did one of the dreams

[waxen trail]

I remember Alex told them to stop posting their game since they have "so many ratings"

[signal monolith]

but I doubt they got banned for this

it didn't seem that serious

[fringe star]

bread neuro

[signal monolith]

breaduro

[waxen trail]

And I wanted to say something snarky to Alex or post their game by myself but never did lmao

[placid salmon]

I don't think they were banned, but you can always ask them privately

[rotund rampart]

I am back hello

[umbral adder]

You have unlocked new role

[fringe star]

i atleast got confirmation that they arent dead and didnt get banned

[placid salmon]

We were so worried about you everyone was crying

[rotund rampart]

I was too distracted by this chat so I left to focus on work for abit haha

[rotund rampart]

my bad

[signal monolith]

RIP katsudonx

[rotund rampart]

so, what's going on with the results

[signal monolith]

💀💀💀

nothing

there are none

alex broke something

and itchio "fixes" it

it isn't fixed yet

[fringe star]

I can still hear his voice sometimes...

[waxen trail]

Yippie kats is back

[signal monolith]

Yeah, it's like, he's still together with us...

[placid salmon]

the accident was our fault...

[tame rapids]

mods took them away too fast, so young....

[rotund rampart]

itch was down for a couple hours and I thought it was the swarm again haha

[signal monolith]

that's just itch things

you know

the vibes

it wouldn't be itch io without it

[fringe star]

btw, superbot, congrats on beating tutel rancher

[signal monolith]

I think this popularity ranking is fucked

or glitched

[tacit wasp]

Does Itch often go down like that?
I almost never used it until those last weeks, my account was taking some dust for years

[fringe star]

these are mine rn for comparison

[placid salmon]

Neuro wars is doing pretty good too

[warped forge]

Popularity raking is wrong somehow. Scroll right to the bottom and you'll see Remnants of the Archive, which... shouldn't be there.

[signal monolith]

It was last even before

Even though it shouldn't

Because handfull of people played it and it was very good

[rotund rampart]

Neuro64 being top3 though

[tacit wasp]

Neuro64 being 3rd is surprising

[rotund rampart]

ikr

[signal monolith]

It was 2nd earlier today

Its still changing i think

[placid salmon]

It was first at some point too

[rotund rampart]

watch Neuro64 win it all

[signal monolith]

Yeah, first place: neuro 64, second alex's game, third: vedal's game

[fringe star]

wait a sec

[tacit wasp]

Nah, second: Vedal's Secret, third: Turtle Rancher

[fringe star]

is it possible that karma is actually a secret modifier that affects all the other filters?

[rotund rampart]

I kept checking the page to see if results showed up yet eventhough I promised myself to focus 100% on work and stop getting distracted haha

[rotund rampart]

its actually possible that Neuro64 is made by a streamer with a decent following in a language that's not english

[placid salmon]

Everyone there is a streamer, I see a pattern

[warped forge]

I shudder to think what the Remnants of the Archive devs did in their past life.

[rotund rampart]

as long as they have a community, it will be played

[fringe star]

not good luck bad luck, the itch stat

[placid salmon]

They are a small English streamer

[tacit wasp]

Wait really?

[rotund rampart]

oo what's the community size like?

[tacit wasp]

Did they stream themselves making the game?

[placid salmon]

Yes

[tacit wasp]

Who is it?

[placid salmon]

28 follows and like 100 views

[tacit wasp]

I only saw one stream on Youtube for the Game Jam and it was for one of the Visual Novels that wasn't made on Ren'Py

[placid salmon]

They have the same name in itchio and twitch

[rotund rampart]

yea I checked out their stream

[tacit wasp]

Oh well, that helps

[signal monolith]

So one mystery solved

Small streamer with dedicated fanbase that boosted their popularity

Makes sense

[tacit wasp]

Plus, to be honest, people probably got interested by the "64"

[signal monolith]

Im not saying of course they did anything wrong

[signal monolith]

Yeah, like some random itch io players

[waxen trail]

That's crazy, that's messed up D: what the sigma happened to popularity

[tacit wasp]

It's actually funny how random Itch.io players can come out of nowhere and play your game

[waxen trail]

Turning Itchio randos into Neuro fans by making the best games ever >:D

[signal monolith]

The biggest mystery is how the fuck is my game 1#

[tacit wasp]

When my game was marked as playable on Android, I noticed that there was a few players that came here outside of the game jam just because they were looking for a Android game

[waxen trail]

Cuz it's gud and speedrunning fun

[fringe star]

yeah, i think someone just came, played my game, said its better than fire emblem and just left

[tacit wasp]

Nice artstyle, Evil fumo thumbnail, good game, speedrunning

[rotund rampart]

after the first 4 days or so, the games on top is usually games that can attract a wide audience, game with alot of replayability, and game with big reach

so like Sea Of Memories or Crazy Robot Body, there's a reason to keep playing it

[placid salmon]

People enjoy the game, doesn't matter if you think others are better, players choose you instead

[rotund rampart]

Imo, a game if one wants to metagame the popular category, quite some aspects you want to do when you're designing the game

[rotund rampart]

it depends on the audience size too, the people actually playing the games from our game jam is pretty small

so games that makes people play it multiple times helps alot

IE Crazy Robot Body has speed run potential and its fun to keep trying

but say a game like mine or Fragmented, you're done with the story, there's little reason to go back and play again

[fringe star]

you deserve to be #1 and the game you made is really fucking awesome

[rotund rampart]

10/10 agree

[signal monolith]

We will see the ratings

For now it's a big for me

Bug

[rotund rampart]

the game is fun and has hella style

[tacit wasp]

I feel like mine is not very high because the gameloop is not great
Once you've reach the maximum score you can have, what's the point of restarting?

[fringe star]

i think the only source of replayability that exist in my game is probably just whether players want to retry missions with their current knowledge of the mission or play the mission but with late game units

[signal monolith]

I feel like I did something wrong when making my game, the art is practically traced from the original hiyori model, evil fumo, and newer neuro's model made by anny

I wouldn't be able to create it without such a heavy reference

It feels wrong

[waxen trail]

To me it looks really stylized and I like the frame-switching animation a lot

It's a really smart artstyle

[warm gale]

Its ok, i trace art every time . Jokes aside, it doesnt matter, how the art was made. The main thing about art is decieving a viewer to like it

[waxen trail]

||Though imo smartest artstyle goes to Alex's game - specifically the storybook artstyle, kinda genius ngl. But we had many games with amazing art this year ||

[fringe star]

for me personally, i really like troubleshooting's artstyle, has really good vibes

[waxen trail]

Yessssss

I want troubleshooting OST NOW!!!

[civic fractal]

I know a lot of games had much better art than the one I worked on. A shame I haven't played many of them.

[waxen trail]

you can still play them

[fringe star]

for ost tho, i like the remix of life for life dream memory

[signal monolith]

Decieving the viewer sounds really funny to me

[waxen trail]

Yesss also gud

[warm gale]

Yeah, and its actually the truth

[tacit wasp]

AGREE
Mini's theme goes hard

[warm gale]

Music slaps there

[waxen trail]

Abandoned pub's soundtrack also ended up stuck in my head after playing but don't let troobs know I said that

[warm gale]

I sit in the same room with the composer rn

Hes next to me in fact

[stoic loom]

Thanks)

[waxen trail]

I salute my fellow cooks this jam

[void parcel]

what do we call the people that burnt down the kitchen

[signal monolith]

Arsonists

[void parcel]

i salute my fellow arsonists

[placid salmon]

Undertale's art style some would say is not that good but people like it because it's consistent and the writing makes the characters likeable

[fringe star]

coincidence?

[waxen trail]

Based

[warm gale]

Its good in a sense. Designs are very memorable

[placid salmon]

Yeah, but I think the best thing about it is that it's genuine and it has vision

[placid salmon]

Erm, you didn't need to delete your messages Lusk

[past meadow]

Any news from Alex btw?

[fringe star]

[rotund rampart]

Finally got through days of documents

[rotund rampart]

I agree, that’s 6/5 for art just from the style alone haha

[hasty drift]

[rotund rampart]

Alot of times when it comes to rpgs, nicely designed characters(specifically concept, art design and storytelling merged together) is much more important than the art style, and of course like you said, consistency is important to not break immersion

[placid salmon]

Yeah, it's about making a believable world, that's why Undertale has great immersion, everything feels alive

[hasty drift]

everyone relates to the fastfood worker

[native chasm]

Next gamejam we should actually make a megacollab with all people in one team
Pros:

• it will be masterpiece
• everybody wins
• Vadul will definitely play our game on stream
• a lot of itchio randos will join our cult
  Cons:
• none

[cerulean jetty]

con: difficult to coordinate 2 randos, imagine a few hundred xD

[lament ermine]

pros: just imagine the content

[hasty drift]

everyone makes a minigame and the game is warioware style

[native chasm]

25 managers, 25 writers, 100 devs, 200 artists, 3 days, what could possibly go wrong

[cerulean jetty]

Devs don't scale xD

[native chasm]

Make them do different parts of the project

[tacit wasp]

The inevitable merge conflict will be incredible

[lament ermine]

Could just make like an open world, each dev gets a piece of the world to work with

[hasty drift]

we gna program the whole neuroverse

[rotund rampart]

Lead dev connect the entire architecture through interfaces first

And as long as the devs work only on their part, there shouldn’t be conflicts

[rotund rampart]

Lets gooo

[tacit wasp]

An untold law of working with Git says that there will always be a merge conflict, even if everyone works on its own scene/file
Speaking from experience

Or maybe my classmates are just dumb with Git, it's also possible

[warm gale]

100 devs making a game without coordination

[rotund rampart]

Then we’ll have to take drastic measures, everyone will only be exporting unity packages to one guy, since coordinating the git will take more than 3 days, so 1 guy combines the work of 100 devs

Lets goooo

[warm gale]

Random bullshit go

[pale iron]

Are we voting on which game engine to use?

[hasty drift]

gna make it from scratch

[lament ermine]

We could do it without a gamejam too, just start an event or something

[native chasm]

Who said about no coordination?

[warm gale]

*on scratch

[hasty drift]

nah we just start our own jam, unofficial neuro jam 1, who participates will be put in same team

[warm gale]

Reality

[native chasm]

You seem to be pretty pessimistic

[hasty drift]

or experienced

[warm gale]

2 game jams 👴

Literally as experienced as a dynosaur

[pale iron]

Both neuro game jams?

[warm gale]

Right

[native chasm]

That's 1 more than me lmao

[tacit wasp]

And all of that in 3 days?

[hasty drift]

same, my experience is also just both nuru game jams

[warm gale]

Yes

[placid salmon]

A roguelike, each dev makes 1 room for a total of 100 rooms

[tacit wasp]

Well then, who needs sleep anyway

Speaking of, I need to wake up at 8am and it's 2am right now, whoops

[warm gale]

4 days would be better, i think. Both times just one additional day would allow us to finish

[placid salmon]

Then what am I with 13 completed jams?

[native chasm]

Seems that such team will take 3 days to just decide what to do

[warm gale]

Not sleeping that night

[native chasm]

This is why managers exist

[warm gale]

The universe

[tacit wasp]

Decide as a team? Nah everyone does its own thing
Each room will be completely different and uses different mechanics but it'll be fine

[native chasm]

«Before there was time, before there was anything, there was nothing. And before there was nothing... there were monsters.»

[native chasm]

What if we make a story game with dozens of routes and a whole lot of mini games in different styles

[warm gale]

Our team had to plan before the jam started, so that we wont waste too much time on the jam

[native chasm]

Different mechanics would be good rather than bad

[warm gale]

AI like levels of consistency

[placid salmon]

Anything that involves a story is out of the question, that's extremely difficult to do

[native chasm]

^
We get a bunch of writers to come up with main idea and their own routes

[warm gale]

Not possible

[native chasm]

Meanwhile programmers do their minigames which would be implemented in that story

[native chasm]

You are telling me that we can beat hypetrain WR for fun but can't make a game together?

[placid salmon]

The story: epic battle of good vs evil.
The gameplay: fart flappy bird clone.

[warm gale]

But would be very funny

[past meadow]

3 days won’t be enough to even merge everything in one project

[native chasm]

And where's the problem

Probably

[pale iron]

Did we get a time of when it will be fixed?

[halcyon flame]

how do i see the ratings?

[warm gale]

No way, the results are here! I won

[proud smelt]

Should we all join the itch discord and pester them?(dont =P)

[native chasm]

But 3 days and 1 hour extension will

[warm gale]

1 hour is all it takes

[past meadow]

No way you beat me to first place

[proud smelt]

What did you win?! 😮

[placid salmon]

Yo, I ranked 278th

[hasty drift]

lost to empty files (that got disqualified)

[warm gale]

Participation paper

[proud smelt]

(I assume everyone is joking, right? =P)
For a second i wasnt sure

[hasty drift]

ye, itch still needs to read alex ticket and fix stuff, then alex needs to publish ratings

[native chasm]

I ranked 279th

[civic fractal]

You guys got me for a moment until I backread the messages.

[proud smelt]

There were 280 submitions at some point 😛

[proud smelt]

I was reading them and still wasnt sure 😛

[native chasm]

There were over 700 ppl who joined jam

Imagine losing to ppl without submissions

[civic fractal]

Granted maybe each person on a team possibly entered

[past meadow]

Are you the guy that reuploaded abandoned archive demo? (It was the game that was deleted last, before it got to 278)

[civic fractal]

in our case tho, only 2 of us had itch accounts

[warm gale]

That would mean your game is literally worse than staring at a wall

[native chasm]

I think average team size was less here

[native chasm]

Sounds about right

[past meadow]

I think it was 282, then 3 got deleted first day, and abandoned archive 2 (reuploaded demo) was deleted a few days later

[hasty drift]

it got disqualified

[native chasm]

Nah it was someone else

[sleek reef]

just opened discord and got jebaited

[past meadow]

(It was a joke, it was just not funny because it’s 5am)

[civic fractal]

I do think so, despite being part of an outlier

[native chasm]

Can someone check how much subs we need?

[past meadow]

48k

[native chasm]

So close... Yet so far...

[lament ermine]

They turned results into a subgoal

[tacit wasp]

Next subgoal will be Vedal playing the games

[native chasm]

250k?

[civic fractal]

Yeah that makes sense

[native chasm]

And on 300k subgoal winners get their prizes

Someone tell Vedal there is a problem with his gamejam

[hasty drift]

there never is a problem

[native chasm]

#1 Tech(issues) Vtuber of the year

[torpid bridge]

WAIT OUR GAME GOT 28TH IN POPULARITY NOW

LETS GOOOOO

[covert spindle]

the game jam was amazing glad i submitted something to it XD

[void parcel]

holy fuck im getting so close to cracking that 40 second barrier

it probably could have been sub 42 as well if i didnt mess up on the rooftops

[atomic stream]

that second level destroyed me when i was trying to go fast lol

[void parcel]

yeah its not super easy

[atomic stream]

getting up on the building after the one with the glass without losing too much speed is such a pain

i also kept jumping over the wires in the boss fight lol

[hasty drift]

someone submit the game to speedrun.com lol

[void parcel]

i thought about it lol

[hasty drift]

then when vedal play it, someone tells he has to beat the WR and if he does he gets 100 gifted subs or smth

[void parcel]

yeah same. i also realized i should probably rotate clockwise around the boss arena because that way i would be able to see the upcoming wires. so im gonna be trying to change my muscle memory

[atomic stream]

it looks like if you did a quick 180 after cutting the 4th wire it could save some time as well

it seems that the wires always reappear just after you pass one of the spots and you have to do 1/4 of a rotation again

idk how feasible that is tho

[void parcel]

i mean that mostly comes down to managing the speed. its certainly possible to always be at a wire when they respawn

its also technically possible to tighten the rotation since you can hit the wires from quite far away when in front of them, but that would require a ton of precision

[atomic stream]

but i mean if you got too fast it would be really hard to avoid jumping over the wires while also not losing speed

well if you get used to how long the wires take to reapper you could always lose or gain just enough speed while they dont show up to hit the first one instantly

[void parcel]

i dont think it can be added to speedrun.com...

[atomic stream]

someone could just make a spreadsheet ig lol

[hasty drift]

we have a few games that have a score hunt feature

Crazy Robot Body obviously has speedrun timer,
my game has enemies defeated count in endless mode,
sea of memories has people hunt for highest atk/hp,
unhando and super pinball rogue can basically go infinite too with scores

replay-ability prolly plays a big role in popularity, makes sense that crazy robot body is #1 rn. its a good game and replay-able for time hunters

[void parcel]

my hand hurts. hopefully sub 40 tomorrow

i think i found a relatively consistent pattern for the boss as well, i just need to execute it eventually. basically you dont worry too much about building speed while cutting the wires, but as theyre respawning you use that time to build speed while dashing to the opposite side of the platform

if you keep dashing without jumping while cutting the wires, you dont lose enough speed to become an issue, its only after a full rotation that you really start feeling the effects. but at that point the wires should be respawning and thats when you regain the lost speed

ive just checked and apparently ive done 368 recorded runs... probably around 500 total then... damn

[rotund rampart]

Gotta go fast

Speedrunners pushing the popularity

Haha

[rotund rampart]

What was your game?

[covert spindle]

Jumble Fruit XD

[placid salmon]

Oh, I didn't notice before but I should have by the "XD", I commented in your game and shared screenshots, good to see you are interacting with the game dev community, that can help you a lot in your development growth

[tame rapids]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-spin-fan-rope-gif-25248314

i can't believe there are still no jam results

[naive walrus]

jam results after subathon 💀

[rotund rampart]

I’ll give it a play later haha

[rotund rampart]

What why

[naive walrus]

It’s a joke

I hope

[rotund rampart]

Chatgpt has bad taste, ask cat-gpt instead

[naive walrus]

Also I think i didn’t see anyone mention this but Layna will be playing game jam games “today” for me it’s today

[placid salmon]

It made me buy siralim ultimate over cassette beasts

[placid salmon]

Good to know, if she plays my game, somebody should tag me, but I'll probably be sleeping

[fringe star]

is today like in a couple of hours from now?

[native chasm]

Are results out yet?

[fringe star]

Not yet

[quick badger]

not that I can see

[naive walrus]

In almost 10 hours 😅

[fringe star]

wrong panel

[native chasm]

Damn, I feel like I'll force myself to update my game before we get results

[quick badger]

We'll get the result on the release date of abandonned archive

[native chasm]

So results will be abandoned too?

[quick badger]

[naive walrus]

To get results you must buy the game

[quick badger]

[native chasm]

Btw question to anyone who played it, should I even update it

I mean it lacks a lot of stuff but I'm quite unsure that someone will play it even if I add that stuff

[native chasm]

Maybe the real remnant of the past was gamejam we lost along the way

[potent stirrup]

https://kotgedev.itch.io/life-dream-memory finally got around to uploading my post-jam update

[fading sleet]

fun

[native chasm]

@waxen trail there is a problem with how u scale text for full-screen version

[waxen trail]

Great find! This is with the fullscreen and not the web, right?

[native chasm]

fullscreen on the web

[waxen trail]

Good intel, will fix it a bit later!!

[native chasm]

here how it looks

is it just me being unlucky or making a glass cannon is harder now

not sure tbh, probably just me being unlucky

[native chasm]

also in full screen there's that blue line on the right

when fighting

[waxen trail]

Yeah glass cannon is a bit harder atm

[native chasm]

like here, dark blue one (also on my previous time god ss)

[waxen trail]

Hmm yeah, this is due to the screen being bigger than the drawn background

Will try to fix

[native chasm]

yea, if u need it my screen resolution is 1920 x 1080

it's perfectly fine on my 2nd screen tho, with 1920 x 1200 resolution
both things are fine, I mean

nice team I got

[waxen trail]

NO WAY, I ALSO HAVE TWO SCREENS WITH THESE SAME SIZES

[native chasm]

ig that means u can test it easily too

[proud smelt]

Any update on the itch.io thing? 😛

[waxen wasp]

I dont think so

[proud smelt]

Anything we can do to help?

[native chasm]

All we can do is waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting...

[proud smelt]

I just wonder if Alex could get a hold of support or if there is still no update. 😛

[native chasm]

yea it was updated yesterday
