https://willfor.itch.io/you-were-promised-a-jetpack So I kind of hate this, but it may be because I had to cut so much from it because I've been so busy this month. On the plus side, during the creation of this game I was inspired to begin work on another game that is absolutely nothing like this one! But that I feel confident that I might be able to do given some things I learned about working in 2D. And actually, to be fair, I really like how I put the visuals of this game together in a sort of shadow-box formation using an orthographic camera. Taught me a few things about working with layered 2D objects.

A heads up to those that have a game that absolutely require judges to use the public version (IE: I Need Help), do not update your game after the jam end date or modify ANY files on your server until after the winners have been announced.

 Please understand. Grandfathered In is complete. We apologize for any inconvenience you may be caused by playing it. We hope that it is an enjoyable experience for you!  http://www.awfuljams.com/big-awful-2016/games/grandfathered-in Edit: Grandfathered In was inspired by Long Live the Queen and Harold Krell's Polar Adventure. It's a visual novel where you choose what areas grandpa should study, with cutscene events playing out differently based on your statistics. I thought it would be a pretty simple gameplay concept for our team, as we'd never made a game before. However, obviously, nothing is ever simple. All in all, i'm pretty proud of what we put together! I hope you like it. ALFbrot fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Aug 1, 2016 |

Minutes away from submitting, brother wants to give it a go, I decide to see if the saving system works on other computers and he gets to the last stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5dDb5wkKfQ I fixed it. I think. I hope.

gently caress it, we're calling off our entry. Our artist got stressed out / had real life stuff come up, so we've got a pile of ugly graybox that I'm waaaaay too lazy to fill with ugly programmer art just because. I await my doom. Take me now, Wall of Shame.

Server files are fixed in place, good to know how long I need to leave them that way.  Also, if anyone wants to play I Need Help, I'll be on for a while to serve as the second player.

ALFbrot posted:I'm not sure I know what you mean. It was in the "tell us about g-ma" segment, and I let it bounce for 40+ seconds before giving up :-/ Was it a circle or one of the other types is what I meant, but I assume by your response it was the default circle one. I can't believe that's possible. Honestly. I've played through that dang thing dozens of times and never managed to do that, the only explanation I can think of is that you managed to bounce and negate the exact momentum while somehow also landing square on the exact center of the top of a peg. I was all geared up to be bummed but it feels like you managed some JFK-esque miracle shot. I'm going to believe that, anyways.

I should note that there are 2 "event Pokeymen" who can't be caught in normal gameplay and must be obtained through special events at participating Gamestop locations (or maybe I just forgot to stick them in the game, whoops  )

 http://systemlogoff.com/media/games/GamesForKnuckleheadsJam.zip Game is as done as I'll get it. There's not as much minigames or polish as I would like, but it's still pretty good for the time I had this month. Please right-click to see my easter eggs on the title and settings menus.

So after scrapping our original idea we ended up with a small weekend project to get something out of the month. Ended up wrapping up but unfortunately didn't have time to complete most of the features that would of made the game more interesting. Still pretty happy with the end result even if it's pretty generic in the end. I certainly miss having the extra free time that being unemployed provided. http://www.awfuljams.com/big-awful-2016/games/rx-mania

Just released Old Men, Playing to Rule the World https://zeekner.itch.io/old-men-playing-to-rule-the-world http://www.awfuljams.com/big-awful-2016/games/old-men-playing-to-rule-the-world It's pretty short, the minigames I planned on didn't really grab me so I refocused on story and cutscene animation. I had a lot of fun, but I'm definitely going to come up with a more gameplay heavy game for my next jam. From a technical perspective, I'm really blown away by how well BabylonJS/WebGL worked out. I didn't run into any serious technical limitations or performance issues while working on this. It still pales in comparison to any professional game engine, but I'll definitely do future game jams with it.

Grandpa GO is submitted and ready for ruthless judgement. The whole team had a ton of things come up the entire month that pretty much torpedoed getting any real work done until the last 4-5 days  So of course what we ended up with is not quite as complete as we wanted. I wasn't even able to properly rig up Grandpa's arms But, it's playable, and doesn't soft-lock within a minute of starting up like our last one (Unity physics  ). Hope you guys enjoy it, and good luck to everyone who submitted!

V-fib is a game!   Jam page Download (Win32) It's a short rhythm game of sorts where you have to keep grandpa (yourself) alive while he watches TV so he can get through all the channels. I wanted to flesh out the gameplay and graphics a bit more, but ended up cutting a bunch of things. I probably should have gone with lower resolution for the graphics since there was no way I'd have time to both code the game and polish the art. In previous jams I've either only made graphics or made something very low-res that didn't take much time, so it was a bit trickier to balance the time spent this time. Themaister made all the cool music and sound effects and also helped with porting. However, we weren't able to produce a web build that worked with sound. The Windows port should run OK in Wine, but I'll probably also package up the Linux build at some point.

So is the only uploading once thing just how the site is built or is it a deliberate rule? It seems a bit unfair if those who were submitting at the last second but were unsuccessful get more time to polish/add to their game but the people who succeeded in uploading at the same time don't get to use it. Then again, actual game development is anything but fair so can certainly understand that. Ok I'm done whining now sorry

Consider this extra 24 hours as an extension of the upload grace period.
