I compose a remake music of the main theme from Superstar Surgeon!

I really liked how well made the song from Superstar Surgeon was and how it has such funky vibes that it ended up being one of the best games I've player, so I decided to take a shot at remaking the music with a bit of a personal touch to it because what's the fun in copying music note by note? it took a while since I wasn't familiar with the Funk genre and had to experiment around to get funky enough! but today I finally managed to finish the remake!

I focused a bit more on the emotional aspect of losing a loved one and the pressure that comes with it so I added some Orchestral elements here and there (yes I know who the hell merges Funk with Orchestra?), in the end I'm happy with the result but I've been listening to it for hours so I'm not sure how good it may sound to someone with a fresh pair of ears.

No Idea how I ended up with 5 minutes of music lol, but I hope you enjoy it!

Score System & Leaderboards

Hello, everyone! I want to ask questions and open a discussion about leaderboards in games and in jam submissions, especially.

Can you tell how often you add score and leaderboards to your jam game? And how do players make competitions for the best score or best runs in your game? Please tell me your experience and stories too!

And here is our experience:

Jam:

When the brainstorm was done and we came up with the idea of Ice Break Delivery, we thought that leaderboards and a score system would allow players to compete with each other and add depth to the game, but the time was very restricted, and we finished all gameplay mechanics but without such additional features as a score system and leaderboards.

Post-jam edition:

Yesterday we released the post-jam edition and also added a score system to the game as part of the post-jam edition, and finally the idea of the game core works fully as intended. Also, we expanded the score system, and you get points from many different actions. It also scales with completed days and can lead to interesting strategies for players.

What we learned:

Now there are 3 days left in total, and I think no one is interested in playing and scoring the best runs in our game now. Also, here is a second problem because the score system lacks leaderboards where players can compete with each other, and having an online leaderboard directly in the game is a huge advantage, I think.

And we had our lesson where a score system must be necessarily added within 72 hours of the jam if the game needs such score mechanics and was originally designed as an idea.

What do you think about it? :penguin:

FredEx PostJam Quick Fix Edition

FredExemPostJam/em05.gif

There is a lot more I want to do with this post jam... but for now I posted a version with some critical bug fixes and added some touch screen controls so you can play from a mobile device.

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/fredex

I tried to keep the difficulty and experience fairly close to the jam version... just with less bugs. :stuckouttongueclosedeyes: So it 'might' be more doable now. (It's -0.00000001% less rage inducing).

Eh, still... #%@& that TV.

What will be your score?

Looking for an pixel artist/animator

Hello there ld members, some people and I are making a platformer game and we need another artist, mainly someone who can do pixel art. If you are interested, my discord is shxdowCorey#5694

Take a break from TOTK with me and play a few jam games!

Normally I play and rate a pretty fair amount of Jam games over the rating weeks and get a lot in return because if that. This time, due to a few crazy weeks at work, and now with Zelda Tears of the Kingdom coming out, I haven’t had any extra game time to spend on jam games!

If you, like me, haven’t been able to play and rate as many jam games as you’d like, then take a break when you’re able and let’s play a few! Drop your game in the comments if you’d like and play some other games as well! I’ll try ti go through most in the comments as well.

Here’s our game if you want to give it a play as well!

Gun Show!

Shapes, Patterns, and Motion in "Mission Delete"

I had a blast experimenting with gun firing patterns and projectile motion this Ludum Dare! The guns in the game fire from either a straight line or a curved arc, and playing around with the different repeat rates, shot width, and shot angle was really enjoyable. Some projectiles also use a sine wave motion to add some interest, as well as some sprite trails.

Type I Guns

Bullet-Demo-1-GIF.gif

Type I Guns are automatics and have a few different firing patterns as well as varying projectile motion.

Type II Guns

Bullet-Demo-3-GIF.gif

Type II Guns have a short cooldown. I had fun with a few of these movement patterns!

Explosions!

Some footage featuring the "Fan of Death" and the "Master Blaster" doing some good work.

Thanks to everyone for the ratings so far and the detailed feedback -- I really appreciate it!
Please give "Mission Delete" a go if you'd like to try out these guns and blow some stuff up. You can play it in your browser and takes about 5-10 minutes.

If you have any cool ideas for guns let me know, I'll put them in!
