Mega Shark posted:I know this might be silly but anyway we can get a category for those of us stupid enough to make a game solo? You're right that is a bit silly, each of the three possible categories are perfectly suited for any scale of game. There have been plenty of successful solo teams in the past, just go for it! edit: Since this is at the top of a new page I'll reiterate. There will be a livestream at https://www.twitch.tv/sagamedev on June 30th 11pm Central. We'll announce the theme and explain some stuff, hope you'll join us!

hey nerds,  at filling out that spreadsheet but if you are in dire need of an extra coder i will code some poo poo to the max for you, or run QA or whatever silly nerd things you need doing. i have this impressive credential on my resume: i completed and submitted a functional computer game to SAGDC last year. it sucked, and was 30 seconds long (15 seconds if you are good at shmups) but it cleared my name from the incorporeal wall of shame and i have no regrets. i didn't know poo poo about unity last year and c# was cake so i'm pretty sure any imperative language will not present any problems. pm me  if nobody adopts me i will be forced to create another lovely one-person project and subject you all to its horrors

Just got word I have to take my vacation the last week of July, if I want any vacation at all. It doesn't matter, by hook or by crook I'm getting a game in. Hopefully then I can focus on getting out of my lovely job.

Re-familiarizing myself with Unity and doing some physics/particle tests: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20990367/sagdc/2015/testing/Web/Web.html I've got this in the bag  Fake edit: if anyone knows why the particles disappear/reappear sometimes when doing light taps instead of holding mouse, let me know.

Just needs pickups like extra-greasy breakfast burritos for speed or something. As for your particles, it actually seems to be more like any time the mouse is released, the particles only have about half a second before they're all removed. While the mouse is held down, they go to what looks like their full duration. Do you have any code clearing the particles after releasing the mouse, or maybe you're disabling the particle system component on mouse release? If you're using the Shuriken particles, I think the way I usually do that stuff if I want the existing particles to remain is to set ParticleSystem.enableEmission to true/false. That should let it keep simulating whatever's already there normally.

I might join (with a non-Icarus Proudbottom title) if critical omission gets picked, because I have a gameplay idea that I think will be REALLY fun and want to pump it out real quick.

It's weird, because if you hold the mouse down for a long time then release it, the particles stay around for much longer. Try spinning them around you in a circle then release it and they all stay. Here's the code and particle system settings, in case anything jumps out at you:

You have to bludgeon enemies to death, take their gun, and then throw useless guns at more enemies to kill them. Everyone's running around confused why their guns don't work, then BLAMMO ak-47 to the chin.

To contribute in the spirit of open source goodies, here's a screen shake script for Unity's camera. https://gist.github.com/poemdexter/9701850 Slap that puppy on the camera and then call Shake(). Mega Shark posted:Question regarding marketplace purchases on Unity or Unreal. If I have a purchased Hex Tile library someone else made, can I use it in the Jam? My opinion as a judge is sure. Everyone is going to be using various engines, libraries, and assets both open and closed source. What's important is the final product of the jam.

Was more curiosity so I know what things I consider when planning the design out, come official topic announce.

Nothing about your code or settings jumps out as being the cause; it's probably just a bug, Shuriken particles seem to always pop out with really dumb ones. Just for giggles, try changing the Duration to either a very large or very small value, and/or remove the ParticleSystem.Play() from your Start (I don't believe you need to call it anyway for them to start simulating).

Figured this out, or at least how to fix it. Seems that if the particle system's parent object is scaled they disappear like I was seeing. Set the scaling to 1,1,1 and it seems to work fine now: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20990367/sagdc/2015/testing/Web/Web.html

Game jam almost starting and I'm with an useless left hand due to some anesthesics* from a surgery performed hours ago. And with my pc out of order. Ayy lmao. *That's probably not the right spelling in english but you get the point. Keket posted:Critical omission, bullets, club people to death with AKs. This was actually very fun to do during the original Medal of Honor campaign, with the rocket launcher. Which makes me slightly mad because I didnt came up with the idea. :P

Not sure why that would cause them to flat out disappear randomly. My first guess would be that, for the purpose of culling, the scale causes their bounds to be incorrect, so the renderer thinks they're offscreen even if they're not; it looked like you had 'em set to simulate in world space though so  In any case, definitely looks like a bug.

Probably my last experimentation with Phaser before this whole thing kicks off: http://xzzy.org/sagdc/ Has game states, menus, keyboard and mouse input, toggles, collision, tilemaps, and win conditions. Basically the barest implementation of what you need for a 2d game. Code is available via a link on the page.

Not wanting to rock the boat but how is awfuljams at holding gifs for team logos? I saw another Chophouse did a gif and it looks fine so I made one too but it doesn't work  I could change it back to a static image but the team logo is probably the largest amount of effort I'm going to put into my submission.

In again as Team Convenient Preserves. Heaven help us. You may remember my previous jam entries, You Can't Stay Connected and Planet Floop. Or you may not. Whatever. Unfortunately, my previous source of music is kind of, you know, gone, so I'm in the market for anyone with a musical bent who wants to attach their talent to my crapola, whatever it may be.
