TomR posted:You're crazy if you think this game isn't fun! It's great! Yeah there are a few bugs still lingering that might not get fixed before tonight. The left edge thing you mentioned, enemy spawns get funky, and when legs break off the spider, there is a piece that turns into a fidget spinner on accident. Glad you like it though!

Well, im throwing my hat in. I mean, I could submit what I have... but its such a poo poo show I don't want to waste people's time. Wall of shame for I it is! Moral of the story kids: Don't make ambitious plans to make a first person 3d platformer and then catch a massive cold for the second half of the jam. Ahh, it feels bad to waste the art though...

nolen posted:If you like cute spiders walking around in an un-fun game, with the option for un-fun two player battles, this is the game for you! Don't do this. Have confidence in your game! It's not perfect, but the concept is really cute and the visuals and music are solid. Unfortunately, the boot-snakes interacted with a bridge such that an unwinnable situation came up, but still! It's a cute little game and you should be proud of it. e; to offer up some critique real quick: more air control would be nice and the armadillo enemies are pretty frustrating to deal with.

Afal posted:I've tried a hack to get the datetime stuff to work. gamemaker seems to have a bug that's specific to windows 8 on that (http://bugs.yoyogames.com/view.php?id=14811). I heard a rumour Sharpened Spoon is kindly allowing re-submissions and I want to make sure I've squashed this bug to stop me having a panic attack so I can try doing that. This is why we encourage everyone to do play testing before uploading. Just like the Winter jam you're allowed to resubmit up to 3 times before the deadline. If you can't get a fix in before the deadline we'll do everything we can to match your game up with a judge that can actually run the game or try some OS level work around to get it to run. But we won't allow re-submissions after the deadline tonight at Midnight CST in this case. And if it doesn't run for any judge you're SOL.

I'll probably revisit this idea down the road for sure. Control scheme would work well on mobile probably. I fixed the issues with the player falling off the level and rebalanced a few things based off feedback in this thread. PC build ain't working though, so it'll be WebGL-only this year.  BOOTLEGS submitted! Enjoy, everyone

I played some games! Bootleg Bernie -- My mic wasn't working when I recorded yours, which was a shame. I had a decent time punching people although I didn't realize I was supposed to be handing out flyers, recorded the whole album and only got caught once, and got walked in on while recording twice by people who didn't seem to want to walk away when I kept telling them that I was recording a thing and had no intention to pause so now they're gonna be Internet Famous. Broken promises all around. Good sound, fun although my tendons were achy before the clicking minigame, desirable playtime. Though I tried to skip the credits toward the end by pressing Enter and that just restarted them. Bootleg Miners -- This is the one where I realized sound wasn't working, so it also didn't have sound. I was sad that I couldn't appear to tool around with the siblings, but got a laugh out of the cart-hunt game. Though the carts only ever came up one at a time (instead of two), and I'm not sure if it went anywhere because there wasn't any obvious means to pick up the pace, so when I noticed my sound wasn't coming through on wave two I kinda wandered off. Love the noise Gus makes when he rustles up, though. Soul Castle https://vimeo.com/228013449 b00tl3g kr3w (Should've known that was one of yours.) https://vimeo.com/228013217 BAT-MAN https://vimeo.com/228013545 Often at reduced resolutions 'cause I have bandwidth quotas.

Once again, I've ended up submitting a broken/incomplete build. This time it (should be) fully playable, but it's missing some games that are crucial to the experience, as well as a result for collecting all the gems. I bit off more than I could chew this month, and I mistakenly thought I could finish everything by the end of the contest. But when it became clear that I wouldn't be able to get it all working (about 30 minutes before the deadline) I decided to cut out the incomplete stuff (or rather, block access to i) and submit the rest. I'd like to fix it up with everything available and post it as a download link on its Awfuljams page. I'm assuming that's still kosher. EDIT: ok that answers that

In post-submission retrospect, shoulda stuck a cheat-key in that increased the round number to ramp up the speed, cause those early 2 or so rounds are molasses slow. Woops.

Went to get some celebratory tacos for completing baby's first game jam before posting in the thread. It got pretty stressful towards the end, in fact, it wasn't until yesterday that you could actually play through the game from start to finish with level transitions. It became very evident this last weekend that sending out builds for play testing is very important, I was able to get a lot of good feedback about what needed to be tweaked or systems in the game people didn't understand. Overall though, it was a fun experience, designing and writing a game from scratch and it was great teaming up with two close friends for jam. Tamal E:\ Drive A game about posing as a tamale truck selling bootleg DVDs. Think 'Game and Wario' with a Mexican-American flair. http://www.awfuljams.com/awful-summer-jam-2017/games/tamale-drive Public Build: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5-1gVG2eVYGQXk2WEZ4RmlOZEU

Doom Goon posted:A true NES game, I'd love to read a postmortem about this to see how much work went into it! That idea is gutsy and works perfect for the theme. It worked fine on Mesen (very accurate emulator) for me. Actually it reminded me more of a ZX Spectrum or C64 game but whatever. Pretty simple and buggy (as in you can get trapped if you jump over the beginning and go back) but pretty fun in a hardcore way. I recommend it! Glad you enjoyed it! I thought I had fixed so you couldn't get trapped though  The C64/speccy influences is definitely there, yeah.

blastron posted:TEAM PUNCH FIGHT figured out how to get past the DRM on a really cool game and we want you to play it: It's not like being able to hook up my own audio is entirely brand new to me because I have made games on my own, but this is the first time I've had the opportunity to do it in a team, and I'm glad I did. I've enjoyed participating in these jams over the years, but this one may be the first where I've come away with an entirely new skill, even if I'm still far from proficient with it. Besides, I got to scribble funny comments in the margin, and that's always a plus. I have a lot more to say about the work that went into this game, but I'll let people give it a try before I run my mouth too much more. Enjoy!

Doom Goon posted:I don't know much about Batman games but I found the thin veneer of graphic replacement pretty convincing of a bootleg (where usually a main character is replaced and maybe one or two other things. But anything else is glossed over). It wasn't too long or too hard and there were a few fun jumps and things. It did get kind of laggy and the climbing controls were sticky but nothing big! Short and sweet.  and I don't suppose many people will bother using something like Xpadder for a ten minute game.)I see you had some of the problems that I mentioned above, but you did really well, so that's a relief. The songs were mostly taken from various C64 games (credits are in the readme). For some reason, the first song of the first batman game I tried starts out with the spiderman theme  . I took that as a sign that I was on the right track. There was some MacGyver in there too for some reason, but I didn't use that in the game.
