That was a really fun stream. Also, I cleared out a block of time tomorrow to watch Slam Fighter get played! Oooohhh man I'm puuuumped! blinkeve1826, I see you're no longer assigned to our block! Why's that? It'd be awfully fun to hear you talking over Slam Fighter II

JonTerp posted:No I'll give that a shot. I didn't see that the first time around. Here's a tutorial on how to adjust the difficulty of Slam Fighter II. A little complicated, but I think it's worth it.  So next to your backspace key on your keyboard is a key with a plus on it. If you press that key on the character select screen, the difficulty goes up. To the left of the plus key is a minus key. If you press that key, the difficulty goes down.

I really enjoyed the gong show! Thanks for taking a look at my game on its own merits, being a hobbyist one-person game and providing really good feedback without being mean about it. I had a lot of fun making it and I'm glad it wasn't trashed on for being so simple.

Could be you were moving your Rigid bodies in Update and not FixedUpdate. FixedUpdate is where all physics calculations happen. Or you could be moving a GameObject transform and not the RigidBody. Another common Unity whoopsie.

Good gong show, I enjoyed it  Sorry Critical Admission decided to react badly to obs and start crashing much worse than before :/Now that I think of it though, the submitted build for Windows did actually have a crash that usually occured on level 7 or 8 - which might have just been activating earlier than normal! it's fixed in version 1.0.1 @Melanie, we're not from a London university :p

Thank you for the review of Cyber Sight! I think we did pretty well for a team of two artists in the process of learning programming and having to deal with a 2 1/2 year old the entire time making it. A lot of the things that was talked about how to make it better we had brainstormed, but we made the decision to focus down on what we could accomplish and fully accomplish ourselves. The music everyone liked was done by my husband's colleague. He teaches musical theater at a university for a living. It was a fun contest overall. Our goal was to actually fully complete something. We have a bunch of half finished games, some are even alpha complete, so actually finishing something for once was nice.

I wondered why burgergame ran 10x the normal speed, and apparently it did that ever since we built it. I remembered update() being just a big while loop and fixedUpdate() being a loop that runs every frame but I couldn't remember what you use fixedupdate for aside from just controls which we didn't have in our game. Then we compiled it and I assume that optimized it and removed a frame limit for update() and now the game runs way way quicker than we expected and somehow didn't break the game and still makes it playable.

FixedUpdate is where all physics calculations happen. poo poo, guess we did still have the player movement in Update(), still doesn't seem to fix it entirely but it helps considerably. The other big thing I could think is that the rigidbody was set to Discrete rather than Continuous but changing that seems to break any of the knockback objects. Ah well, thanks for the tip, something I'm going to make sure I carry forward for sure

For final judging: The version of Critical Admission submitted to judges was marked as Mac only but does contain a (buggy) build for Windows. If the other judges want to play it on Windows you're better off using the one from itch so you can see the late-game content. The only difference is the fix of a null error which usually happens around level 7 (Though of course it's fair enough to count the crash against us, you might as well see the main part of the game).

quote:We’ve revamped the scoring and judging system from previous years. For SAGDC X, submitted games will be split up between the 6 judges. Judges will rate each game on a scale from 1 to 5, and provide a few paragraphs of critique and reflection. Each judge will pick 2 “top picks” from their given batch, all judges will then play each-other’s top picks. Can I ask what happened with this because I've seen the final list and it seems that there isn't 2 top picks from each batch (if the schedule is accurate showing what was in each batch). One has 3 picks and one has 1 pick. Is this accidental?

Jon, could you clarify as to why you only had one pick in your group (and then, from what it looks like, picked another from another group) when we've been told that each judge would pick two in their group? Seems weird for you to be flexible with the rules now when judging, after your previous sternness with them.

Seems weird for you to be flexible with the rules now when judging, after your previous sternness with them. We always said we'd be reaching across group lines and trading with other judges if we had a particular game we played we wanted to see in the top 12 that wasn't getting picked. That was how we solved the potential issue with high quality entries getting clumped up in a few select judges. And even with this in place, games like Slam Fighter II still fall through the cracks which bums me out. We had a TON of amazing games this year and only so many prizes to give out. Obviously a lot to think about and improve on for this Winter. For Slam Fighter II specifically, I'm going to put it into the Community choice vote because I know it's a crowd favorite. I knew we might have some upsetting cuts from the Top 12 but that one stung a bit.

Got home from vacation a few days ago and finally got enough backlogged work out of the way I could read through this thread. I want to thank everyone that actually played through my entry. You all were way more kind to it than I expected! I got a lot of good feedback that I will use when I eventually turn it into something more presentable.

Thanks for the meaty criticism of Slide, Crash, Bounce on the stream. Hearing criticism that is pretty accurate is kind of tough, but it's giving me a lot to think about and I'm really thankful for that. Seeing all the ways it could be better, and ways it didn't quite hit the mark does honestly kind of frustrate me, but when I think back to that month of dev work I'm also just really glad that I managed to get it that far. My original plan was for one week of basic core gane work, one week to flesh out gameplay, one week to add more content, and the last week devoted to polish. What ended up happening was that I had my neat premise done in a few days, but not nearly enough done after that and I ended up with a half-finished game at the beginning of the last week. I ended up having to bust my butt just to even get all of the gameplay systems working in time, and having to cut a lot of fluff. It almost ended up having no sound effects. One of the big, sad cuts I had to make was the inclusion of voice acting, which probably would have helped the flavor of the game a lot. I even had a nice offer from blinkeve1826 to do some voice work, but I ended up deciding that I was far too behind on basic, critical features to even worry about that. It would have been really nice to include, but oh well. But even if I fell short of where I could have been, I'm really quite happy with what I did manage to accomplish. Last year, I made a crappy Anime Club Text Quest game that got around a 32 out of 100 and that I'm pretty sure only one person in the world kind of liked. There was some art to it, but I rushed it out in 2 days and it had some big, big problems. And this year, I made something pretty alright which people seemed to like, and which grabbed enough attention to get a few youtube videos and stuff made about it. It's a massive improvement any way you measure it, and I'm happy. Now I just have to see how much I can improve next time. Or maybe see how much I can polish this one up. I'm not sure.

I'm really surprised our game didn't make it past the first round of judging. I would be lying if I said I wasn't devastated. However because of this project, I've gotten close to some people who are so talented, so creative, so funny, and so kind. I am overwhelmed by the gratitude I feel for the incredible love and effort that everyone on my team put into Slam Fighter II, from staying up with me until 4 in the morning discussing how to capture just the right emotional texture in a song to enduring grueling three hour long recording sessions in which I demanded greater fidelity to the flow of DMX than was probably necessary. I am truly humbled. Melanie, Michael, Christopher, and Johnny -- because I was fortunate enough to collaborate with all of you, I still feel like a winner.
