Circleline Postmortem

My game Circleline got 6th overall in the compo! Thanks to everyone who played it and rated. I've found writing postmortems to be useful in the past — I guess they exist for a reason! — so I figured I'd do another. Check it out here.

Post-Mortem Video

Here is a link to the post-mortem for my entry, An Hour Long Minute. I mostly just ramble about Mechanics and what was ultimately not meant to be. I didn't realize it until the very end, but the compression that OBS was doing made the gameplay sections very rough looking, but if you think of that being how the game actually looks then it looks kind of cool. :smile:

Thank you to everyone for taking part in this jam, this was a good first time and I'm looking forward to doing this again next April.

I am making my games OPEN SOURCE!

This includes my LD47 jam game which won 5th place on the jam category :) hope this helps the community a bit! https://youtu.be/wEhngf4SvMc

Finally got around to editing my devlog

My youtube channel isn't typically a gamedev channel, but I thought I'd use it as a platform to put my experience of my first game jam. It not being my usual type of content, I'm not really sure if there's a difference with these things, but I think it's more of a devlog than a postmortem.

I learned a lot while participating in the compo, had great fun, and did about as well as I expected. All in all, very happy, and will definitely be returning for the next one!

Coming Up...

I've had a lot of work getting in the way of my tasks, but I can promise I've got some fun stuff coming up! I'll be giving out artwork to some of the winners and whoever else is lucky, and I'll be releasing my post-jam "Game Spotlight" post!

Is it just me?

Am I the only one that still checks this site 5 times a day knowing I would not get any notifications but I'm used to doing it during the jam?

We're keeping the servers up !

Thank YOU the players !

Thanks everyone for the incredible comments on our ludum dare entry Start The Game. We're really happy that the game pleases you ! As it has a low upkeep cost, we're keeping the game servers online, so you'll still be able to play it. Thanks again to the wonderful community of this ludum dare.

You can play the game here : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/47/start-the-game-together

Small update to our game "Passerby"

This was our Ludum Dare 47th entry and I just did a small update to fix the hitboxes which was the biggest complaint and I also added coyote time! This was our best performing entry we have made and are happy how it turned out! https://heyllopotato.itch.io/passerby

Also I made my first post-mortem which was a post-mortem of this game - Also reason there isn't a lot of footage of making it is because i kept forgetting to record https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8MP0XPSzOY

Game Spotlight!

It's time for the Post-Jam Game Spotlight, where I recommend a game or two that could have won! Just because the jam is over doesn't mean we shouldn't come on over to ldjam.com and play some games!

(Second try for this actually, there's no dialog asking if you want to exit the page when typing a post. That's something that could be added to the site. I typed this whole thing and then my touchpad glitched. This'll probably be shorter than the first attempt.)

This Jam's Spotlights Are...

...two games that really hit hard in the "emotional story" category I just made up. The special guests are Anything For You and WHAT I SAW!

Let's go into detail!

Anything For You is a point-and-click narrative that'll leave you like "that was a game?" when you finish! An emotional story, realistic dialogue, and some funny art during the bedtime story scene! Plus the rare added touch of voice acting to really get you into the story!

WHAT I SAW is an epic mashup of platformers and narratives with little elements of horror! Journey deep into who you are, and don't give into trying to change yourself to satisfy others! Responsive and smart controls, an emotional story, and some great enemy AI go nicely with the unexpected twist near the end and the fantastic soundtrack.

If you haven't played these, you are REALLY missing out!

Well, that's all I've got for now! Stay tuned for my artwork awards for the winners and whoever requested an artwork!

(Note: well, I thought this would be shorter than the original attempt at this, but turns out it's longer. Probably because I had fun with the formatting.)

I hope to see everyone next jam! Happy gamedev-ing everyone!

Please Help!

I am new here, and I really wants to participate in the next ludum dare but i don't know how I will get the update of next theme and how I will upload it on this site....

Looking forward for friends to work with me on the next ludum dare :)

First Update For My Game

Check it! https://lisichkafarengeit.itch.io/project-loop Screen 2.jpg

My first VR game is going to Early Access on November 13th.

I just want to announce that my first VR Game is now going on Early Access now on Steam. You can wishlist it now. It is a Brick Breaker Game where you are inside the Ship. I had the inspiration from the Boxshot of the Gameboy Game "Alleyway" where i thought "wouldn't it be cool to be inside the ship?".

The EA Version has some levels and 3 powerups (more are planned).

Semiautomatic

Those of you who played the smash hit Star Crossed (1,548th overall) may remember the short story introducing the game. Instead of developing the game we chose to develop the story. It's now an 18-page children's book inspired by Plato's dialogue Meno:

Thanks go to Dr. Chung (@genie) for the artwork. See it here:
