Praise the Golden Lord!

When I saw the theme, I despaired. I really didn't want to do this theme. Seemed dark and icky and I expected most of the games to be full of morbid ideas and black humor. And while there's nothing wrong with that (I've seen some interesting stuff so far) it's not my cup of tea.

So I spent some time thinking about how I could subvert the tropes as hard as I could while still holding to the theme... and this is it! Bright, colorful, full of gold and silver. You play as a good character doing good things for good people, and nobody suffers for it!

screenshot

Your people have lived on an island rich in gold and silver for generations, and they love you greatly. But now, monsters are invading the island! You have stepped down from heaven to protect your worshipers from the invaders, but your divine power depends on the sacrifices of precious metal that your people offer up to your altar.

Building a space station on paper... what could possibly go wrong?

If you're a space geek, or simply just want a game to play/rate, Paper Space Program is for you!

What is Paper Space Program about?

You have been hired to be the Administrator of a space agency. In reality? Not really. On paper? Yes. Maybe in reality though, because who knows what burning paper rockets can do. Your objective is to build a space station and gain 1,000,000 discovery points so your agency can develop the technologies to fly to the moon. Sacrifices must be made in the rockets and modules you choose to get the most discovery points with your money.

I'm thinking of adding some more improvements and releasing a post-jam version. What do you guys think? Please let me know. ^_^

Multi-genre game

So the itch.io requires to 'Avoid using the genre or platforms provided above.' in tags and allows to select only one genre per game.

But what if your game matches Strategy & Horror & Survival & Puzzle at the same time? :thinking:

It's always hard to decide.

After that day none of the evil be abled to pass through that rampart.

The Mist - Bugfix

Stable & Better

Hello great people of fantastic community. We're very happy with all of your great comments.

We had some small gameplay issues that have been fixed now. Still we got some resource calculation balance and fix needed when we fixed the day/night cycle the core calculations got mixed up but it doesn't change any gameplay experience.

Anyhow the game is now more playable. Hoping in the close future we're planning to add all the features that we mentioned in the description.

Thank you once more.

Robot Altar now available for Mac FINALLY! (and the "Unable to find game" error)

Want to post this to hopefully help out some of my dev peers.

After hours of trying to export a Mac version of my game, I finally figured out a small issue with mac OS systems. Apparently, some Macs have a security measure where the downloads folder is "quarantined", and running .app files from there will result in the following error:

unableemto/emfind_game.png

I was going nuts trying to diagnose the issue, none of the online community solutions worked for me. That is until I found someone just saying "copy and paste it into a different folder and it should work". After putting all the information I gathered together, I realized that it doesn't need to be copied and pasted; it doesn't need to be fixed in Terminal; it doesn't need to have spaces removed from the name; It only needs to be outside of the location that some Macs impose as a security quarantine, ie the downloads folder.

The solution probably can be fixed on the developer side with some security override method within the code, but I'm just a self-taught indie dev. Besides, the solution seems to be a non-issue client-side if they knew what was happening. So informing the players is all that's needed; Just move the .app file out of the downloads folder.

That said, Robot Altar--available for Windows since the beginning--is now available also for Mac. And as a primary Mac user, myself, I'm glad I can finally make my little game playable for the pretentious like me.

Day-to-Day Super Hero? Nah. Time to sacrifice our integrity!

SuperSellout.png

Being a superhero sounds really cool when you think about it, but when you start looking through the details, you really realize that it doesn’t pay the bills properly. What would any person looking for support do at the time? Accept sponsorships, of course!

SuperSellout1.gif

In case you missed @moski’s post earlier, our team at Whales And Games is proud to present our game for this Ludum Dare edition, Super Sellout!

Super Sellout is a runner featuring Monetization Man, our usual day-to-day superhero. Unfortunately, upon realizing that being a standard superhero doesn’t pay the bills, he started looking for sponsors, equipping him with all kinds of wacky treats!

Sacrifice your mobility and comfort as you pick various sponsors to increase your chances and rates for large high-score! Some sponsorships reduce our hero’s speed, while others add overlays on top of the game, attract dogs and metal objects to you, or randomly spread billboards all across the map! :money_bag::whale:

This Ludum Dare was certainly an unique one for us, and we have already started going hands-deep on trying to give feedback to as many games as possible. If you have one game that you’d like for us to rate and give feedback on, please leave a link to it on the description because we’d love to play it!

Our team is really hyped for this edition’s rating period, and we can’t wait to see what else we come across! We will be featuring our favorites over at our Discord server too!

Looking forward to playing all of your games! :wink:
