In the last few days we have received wonderful feedback on Glad - Gladiators! Many of them praise the idea, art and mechanics. Juntmanete with them we received several ideas on how to improve our game and report of great bugs.

So to meet the clamor of everyone who tested our game, today we bring an improved version of our project.

* The modifications and chroma of bugs are as follows: *

  • 1 - Correction of distribution of requisitions of the Goddess

  • 2 - Correction of rewards and punishments of the Goddess

  • 3 - Increased number of battles per game (battles until a player gets 6 coins)

  • 4 - Correction game timer when paused

  • 5 - CutScene fix from home screen

  • 6 - Correction Restart of each battle

  • 7 - Added Effects of static particles (during the whole game) and dynamics (they happen in certain situations)

  • 8 - Added arrow marking available to the archer

  • 9 - Correction of the skill of the warrior with shield and sword, inserted the dashblock

  • 10 - Added Lancer random teleportation ability;

The theme sucks... or does it?

Whenever I participate in LD, I think of some ideas I always wanted to try and when the last voting round comes I just distribute the themes across the ideas. Then I wait...

When I heard the theme, I disliked it. It was somewhat too specific, so I couldn't fit it properly. I mean, of course, it's easy to do something in-theme, but I anticipated that a lot of games will be almost the same, a pool of life that you use for buying stuff, and also survival. Which is also ok.

However, I wanted something different. And yet I couldn't think of anything.

For this LD, as for the last one I've participated in, I decided to do it with my wife. Two minds are better than one. :smile:

After some brainstorming, we realized that we would actually LOVE the theme if we just...

...well,... why don't you just see for yourself?

How to revive the party

Imagine it, you go to the bar with your friends, you buy a beer, some time passes, the party begins to be boring, what to do to save it?

It is the perfect moment to take out the phone and start Bet Your Life and start the party again. It is a simple party game like Russian roulette, which we created on this Ludum Dare. First, see the teaser we've been exploring and then play while having fun, leave reviews and judge.

I accidentally made a game!

My entry for LD44 is an "art game" without a goal. Well, I hope there's a "goal" - but not like... a goal goal.

However, while doing a spot of post-jam spaghetti refactoring (my favorite part of writing hacky code!), I accidentally discovered a game inside the game.

Screenshot from 2019-05-03 11-40-02.png

While making sure I hadn't changed/broken anything, I had to test it end-to-end (it takes around 3 minutes). Suddenly there was a tangible game goal: how little money could I earn? My record so far is just over $15,000,000,000 - but I’m confident I can "beat" it.

Can you? Perhaps we'll never know...

Cant wait until next Ludum Dare?

Trying not to be a douche here, marketing a game jam. But we are holding the Quad Jam Summer game jam in less than two months and if you liked Ludum dare you will love this game jam as well. The community is awesome with over 100 discord members. quad-jam-seasons.png

Howdy partner!

This town is your home, your life. Aliens have come to Currency to wipe it out. The only thing standing in their way is you and your trusty shotgun.

Town of Currency is a fast-paced top-down twin-stick shooter-like, where you get to fight and endless horde of nasty aliens. How long are you able to survive, and is it possible to get some help from the government?

But the real question is... is it possible to beat Fluffy? fluffy.png

How about selling your organs to pay your rent?

That's just the daily life of Brian in this small world of his where money is tight and jobs are sparse.

Come and give our project a spin, we'd love to know what you think of it!

It was a fun process and I've learnt a lot!

Making this game took a lot of late nights and hard work from my team! And it taught us a lot about coordination planning and teamwork! I'll definitely do this again whenever the next Ludum Dare happens!

About Elevator Pitch:

You are a disgruntled employee at large AAA game studio Viral Videogames Inc. Everyday you spend countless hours wasting your life away in exchange for currency without any overtime pay or benefits.

You’ve been staying late nights and weekends crunching just to ship out the latest cash-grab games, all while Mr. CEO hides away in his ivory tower. Until one day, you just can’t take it anymore. Time to hitch a ride to the top floor and show The Boss who’s really boss.
