Wait a second? Unstable?

I was looking for the theme. Apparently they somehow mixed up the theme with my latest code review!

Sorry about the Dad joke! G'luck all!

I'm In (Late)

Obligatory I'm in post, even though I'm late.

Tools:

  • Unreal
  • Blender
  • Krita

Schedule's going to be interrupted, but it'll be good to see if I can get something done.

Good luck everyone!

LD stream

I'll be streaming my development on twitch.tv/o8pcgames if anyone wants to join!

GL HF!

I'll save you the time!

The theme is not that bad, ackshually

I think I got something kinda weird and not about falling towers. I just had to kinda stretch the dictionary definition a bit. And it's overly ambitious, which is terrible when you have 72 hours

And I have to write lots of horse jokes or die trying

Simple Unity Scripts!

Created some scripts on my live stream to use as examples for doing menus and options systems! If you're using unity! I Recommend checking them out so you can add a pause menu and settings/options to your game for better accessibility.

The source from the project is located here: https://github.com/Snowdrama/SimpleUnityScripts

"Unstable"

So I guess a game that crashes a lot will be on-theme?

Storm in the brain!

Theme seems fun. Not my preference but I think there's a lot of possibilties. Not going to start working on anything until tomorrow so going to use tonight to ponder on some ideas and see what leaps out at me.

Third time's the charm...?

I have a rather elaborate framing device in mind, and I'm thinking I might want to place a puzzle game inside it.

But right now I'm thinking of making a programming puzzle game. In which case, it will be the third programming puzzle game I've made for a jam game. Which makes me feel like I've gotta make sure it's better than the other two!

And what the what? Already? Am I in? Dunno, maybe?

Lots of work to do, lots of thinking on the personal side, but do I have the guts to try LD this time? Dunno! :cry:

Will I try? BOY, OH YES! :eyes:

Still deciding on Phaser or HaxeFlixel. Or something else.

But, well, "unstable" is a pretty fitting theme for the moment. :disappointed:

Maybe I'll put some of that front-end knowledge gained in the last 3 years and make a game in the form of a broken site? Who knows? :shrug:

GL, HF Y'all!

ah geez im in

mmmmmm I roll to seduce the dragon

My idea

You're a guy fighting zombies. As you attack or get hurt, you get angrier (emotionally unstable), which changes how you function.

  • Calm: your attacks are weaker, but more precise (chance for an instant-kill critical hit that decapitates the zombie), and you have a better dodge (longer movement, invincibility frames).
  • Angry: your attacks do more base damage, but cannot crit, and your dodge gets weaker.
  • Berserk: all your attacks are critical hits, but you can only stay in this state for a limited time (might be extendable by getting more kills). You also cannot die ("MAN LITERALLY TOO ANGRY TO DIE!"), only be reduced to 1 HP.
  • Dazed: Once the Berserk state ends, you are put in this state for a few seconds. Your movement is slowed, and your attacks and dodge are severely weakened or disabled completely. When this wears off, you go back to Calm.

Gameplay is going to be 3D hack and slash. I'm comfortable enough with 3D stuff now to do this.
