Post Jam fixes and wanna rate some of your games

We'are done wih our post jam fixes, you can check our game out here https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/mountaineer and wanna rate your games so leave them in comms

Fun with Tile Maps

In Karawan you guide a caravan through the land, trying to flee the world crumbling behind you. You can hire a Magus with incredibly useful spells, for example to flatten hills to make a passage, or create a ford through a river. What was really fun to animate was transpose though, where two tiles switch places. This can help optimize some routes :) ld49-15.gif

Beam.

I have a beam, and it needs to get to the finish line. No questions asked. Can you bring it there? Play a little physics puzzle game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/beam

I plan to play some ldjam submissions on stream Friday night sometime after 8PM EST.

Drop the link to your ldjam submission if it's a web game and I'll see if I can play it and review it.

Ever wanted to play as the Grim Reaper?

These villagers are so poorly animated that the grim reaper has been sent to collect their souls

spend a few minutes flying around pretending you're an ethereal being slicing people in half

Deathrail (2nd Ludum Dare entry!)

play now! https://michaell308.itch.io/deathrail

deathrail gif final.gif

Grind across 3 rails and maintain balance as you zoom through the city.

Main appeal is a fun gameplay loop and nice music. (and cute scarf girl)

play now! https://michaell308.itch.io/deathrail

minor dev notes: Our team narrowed it down to 2 ideas and we decided with a coin flip. I got the idea that I wanted less, but that idea turned into deathrail, so it all worked out in the end. Also the scarf was only added on a whim really after another team member mentioned it, but it looks cool so I'm not complaining.

We're streaming your games again! Come watch!

LD Stream.png (We actually updated the picture this time, hah!)

Hey folks! :wave: Back on Wednesday we did our first stream ever showcasing your games, and today, me and @moski will be picking up from where we left off! Come watch us over on Twitch!

We'll begin in about 15 minutes, but meanwhile, you can submit your games through this form! You have to be in chat for us to play your games though! Additionally, if you submitted your game on Wednesday and we didn't get to it, check the queue, and if you appear in chat, you'll have priority!

We didn’t have the opportunity to make a game of our own this time and as a result, we can’t rate your games. However, we'll still be giving you feedback while on stream, so make sure to join us and have some fun! :whale:

patch notes and comments

Patch:

We have patched a mesh-button bug that could happen when the player spam the jump action

Comments:

Thank you for all the feedback. Here are some comments on the future development of this game that we will work when LD149 ends:

  • We will implemnt some way to tune the volume of the game. We didn't have much time to work on an option menu this jam

  • In this option menu, it will be possible to adjust the strips and curvature of the CRT filter. I to have kinetosis (motion sickness) and know how this can affect the overall enjoyment of the game

  • after some discussion, we decided that an exact display of how many orbs are needed to open some door would affect some of our level design. We still want to give the player some idea of he or she can open the door, so we are thinking in add a glowing effect to the door if the player can open it

Anyway, thank you all for the feedback and thank you for reading!

Did some bug fixes to my game

Didn't know you could actually patch your game lol. Some collisions were broken and you could just bhop through the level (it was pretty cool though) and the time it took to extinguish fire and take damage varied according to your FPS. Now it's all working. (check it out! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/burning-down) imagemem2021-10-08/em191500.png

Plenty of games with under 20 ratings - GIVE THEM SOME LOVE!!!

It's weekend now!

While we're at it,

let's give some of the games that didn't get up to 20 ratings some love!

If all of us get ratings and some feedback,

We together will get to be better game developers.

Learning from each other is the best way to learn afterall.

Other gamedevs are the best play testers that gamedevs can get,

so don't wait, choose some games that have less than 20 rating,

and help them get some feedback.

We only got 13 days left.

Have a great weekend everyone!
