ARRHYTMIA Postmortem

This is a bit overdue, but I wrote up a dev log about Arrhythmia, my LD46 submission. The process of making games and the challenges within interest me a lot. If you want to read about the thoughts and challenges that I went through up to the release of Arrhythmia, you can check it out here:

Please Help This Game Get Rated (not mine)

8bitcharlie needs your help, only 3 more ratings to go.

The game is HTML, no engine, it will not take much of your time so please help get it rated. I liked it :-)

Lack Of Time

So! It looks like I might not have enough free time to play and rate enough games to get my own game to 20 ratings. I will do my best to rate more games in the time remaining, still.

But to be on the safe side, I will drop my game right here. (I only need about 5 ratings.)

Me And My Horse

meandmyhorse01.png

I'm really happy how things turned out this LD, and I'm even considering making a re-imagined full game out of this concept, with better... everything! Like a small, short and sweet Metroidvania. Different story. Better mechanics. Better art-style. Feels like a perfect project for where I'm currently at in life. We shall see!

Were so close to 20!

Hi guys!

We're so close to minimal 20 votes! If anyone want to help us, here's the link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/terrarium-zen :v:

ps. We're going to publish version 2.0 at the end of game rating, with all missing feaures :smile:

Sales Pitch

Are you still looking for a game to test? Running low on hard disk space? Only got a few minutes to spare?

Why not try "Keep It Alive"? It plays in the browser! Its short, but sweet?

Keep It Alive Some people have had problems playing the game, if you have problems, try the game in Private/Incognito mode.

The final push!

AAAA3.gif Enjoy, comment and rate! :D Thanks

Only 3 days remaining!

YOOO! LET'S HELP!!

Become a HERO! GO BEYOND, PLUS ULTRAAAA! And save the games that are still in the danger zone! :fire:

The crushing dissapointment of an unfinished game

I was so looking forward to this Jam. I had never been in such good shape to make the most of it. Usually I have some work on that takes away precious hours or means I cant take part at all. This time with lock down I was both feet in and no distractions. Many things contributed to not finishing and I have done the required reflection to understand what had happened. The most brutal part of not finishing is that it wrecks the play and rate experience. In many ways it renders it null and void. So I decided to channel my energies into getting my first game onto the play store. I have got it up as an Alpha ready for it to be put through its paces. This game started as my warm up for Ludum Dare 45, unfortunately a late work offer took me out of the running for that jam but I have carried on working on Flailing Hips ever since.

Screenshotem20200505/em165054emcom.TheSoulSelector.Flailing/emHips.jpg

Flailing Hips is a Ragdoll combat game on android. Someone said its a Ragdoll Soul Calibur love child and I guess that just about covers it.

If you fancy helping a LD Brother out then I would love to add you to the Alpha testers. Email me your google play store email to flailinghips@amancalledarron.com

Don't do it at the expense of playing and rating, but if you are in need of ratings let me know and I will play your game. Just promise not to look at my entry!

Peace to you all and I really look forward to October.

Up for a challenge?

Fair warning: this is one of those you're-probably-going-to-die-a-lot games. I hope it's also in the it's-quite-satisfying-once-you've-mastered-the-mechanics category though!

Flippy Fish update and available on Android!

Hey Flippy fans!🐟
We have big news for you today.

FlippyFish2.gif

(Haven't played the game yet? feel free to try it here! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/flippy-fish)

Android version

Flippy Fish is now available on Android!
The apk file is available here on itch, and the game is waiting for Google's approval and will soon be live on Google Play!

Big first update

All the great feedbacks we received from irl friends and awesome internet people led us to this first big update. Here are the major changes:

  • Difficulty modes
    Want to relax a bit and enjoy more of this awesome music by reiswerk? Calm mode is here for you! We believe this might be the best way to play the game for younger players or people not very familiar with video games. Tell us what you think!
    You are a crazy person and found Flippy Fish too easy for you? We got you covered and added Fishy mode! Share your highscore with friends for increased brag potential.
    Other difficulty tweaks have been made, such as making torches a bit less hard to avoid in all modes, or an invulnerability window when hit.

  • QOL updates on controls
    We added a buffer window to help you control Flippy with perfect precision!

  • Menu makeover
    All menu went through some work to better please your cute eyes.

  • On / Off sound control You can now toggle sound on or off in game.

  • Bug fixes
    Music not looping, pause menu slowing the game instead of really pausing, negative lives... Flippy doesn't really like bugs, so we had to ask them to go away. Let us know if you find sneaky ones that we couldn't see.

We are all very happy to go on this adventure with you. This is our first game and seeing people enjoy it makes us really happy.
Thank you so much. 💕

A Physics based Puzzle Game

alive3.PNG First time making a game && joining a game jam. :smiley: So the idea is: The room is on fire ! However, the house owner went to work… :scream: Objects in the room have to count on themselves to escape. Only ONE object can be alive at a time. But it can pass “life” to others when touching them. How many can survive ? That’s up to you. You start……with a banana.

LD46   09em05/em2020 14em47/em39.png

I spent the last two weeks polishing my game. This is a small timed puzzle game you can finish in 2-3 minutes. Find the correct pump to reanimate the robot by seeing which wire connects to the robot, then activate it. Pump the wrong pump and the robot explodes.

I tried to find a way to make it more interesting so I added more levels, some narration between the levels and improved the overall experience by adding more feedbacks and improving the graphics. Each piece of narration depends on what you did during the level so it reacts a bit on how the player plays.

I hope you'll have some fun if you try it. Thanks to all people who played the game.

LD46   09em05/em2020 14em48/em47.png

Also, this is a list of all the updates I made during the last weeks thanks to all the great feedbacks I got: - More levels - Controls are improved : before you moved the camera with arrow now you just have to move the mouse, it's clearer. - Better feedbacks (Highlight on the pump, emissive material on wires to materialize the energy flow) - Better and clearer instructions - I added some UI elements (Main menu, Pause menu) - I programmed a text system that can be customized to emphasize certain part of text - Graphics improvement (Particles added, I redid some modeling and improved the lighting). - I added some sounds.

Special thanks to Twan Mull who joined me at the beginning of this jam to try and discuss some game mechanics before I went on my own for the rest of the event.

Calling anyone with a VR headset

My game, Keep The Vibe Alive, is just a small handful of ratings away from the threshold that it needs. The game is built for SteamVR so it's a little bit difficult to find an audience for it. If anyone is capable of giving it a go and rating it, I'd really appreciate it!

behind the scenes II - post jam animation (repost)

Little sea slug didn't make it in Perish Alive :confounded: (see this post to learn why).

However, i liked how it was turning out so I decided to finish and share it here! :relaxed:

seaslug GIF.gif

Sea slug attack animation, post jam

Some details about the animation process~

-skip this if not interested-

As you already know, hand-drawn animations are not very common in game dev though it can create amazing effects! (see Cuphead for example).

While animating something with multiple parts (body, antennas, tail etc) You get to decide which are the primary actions and which the secondary ones. Body is usually the primary action while others are secondary. Secondary actions follow the movement of the primary action but have little shifts in move in order to create a more realistic effect. This is due to different parts having different sizes, shapes or even uses!

Of course, during a jam you cannot plan in detail the movement so it gets created more intuitively. :stuckouttongueclosedeyes:

seaslug-motion-map.gif

Motion map for the sea slug body animation

...

Even though poor sea slug didn't make it in Perish Alive it encourages you to meet his friend, Jellyfish~ :blush: :ocean:

Did Thomas get to read the letter?

Hey guys!

With only a few days left on the countdown, I thought I would create a post in case anyone else was interested in trying out my first jam game!

For those of you unable to play it, but still wanting the experience, I've recorded a video walkthrough to watch below. Please drop by my game page to let me know what you think! :smile:

Game Review

Go review my game Protect The Artifact. It would make my day :)

Rescue your game with Rescue Rangers!

Here is a follow-up announcement for my own version of the good old Ludum Dare Rescue Rangers.

Getting over 20 comments has been tough this time round, due to the need to have the game developers "like" your comments to get ranking (smart balance) score. The basic idea is good: have people try and write meaningful comments, instead of spending 30 seconds on a game and putting in some ratings. As it is now, however, the quality of your comments is the least of your worries.

The developers of the game have to like your comments. This is not going to work if the developers are out on vacation because they finished the rating process already. Since we're near the end of the rating period, a lot of developers are not checking their comments every day! Only about 12% of the developers show "like" activity in the last 48 hours.

Please note: Occasionally, others will also like your comments. However, there is a quirk in the smart balance calculation that will penalize the game that is rated when there are third party likes. A like on a comment is counted much like a comment, which means the game's score will go down dramatically if you like a bunch of its comments. Check the Github issue here. So please don't do it!

So, how do we find those games with active developers? The answer is, use my new search engine! You get a list of only the "active" games (games that show "like" activity in the past 48 hours), sorted by smart balance. Additionally you can also search by platform or keyword.

The search engine scrapes scores and comments every hour. However, since scraping comments takes 40 minutes, it scrapes only 1/4 of the comments at a time, so refresh time for comments is 4 hours.

If you do not get new comments, but want your game to appear in this list, just un-like, then re-like an old comment. Your game should appear in the "active games" list within 4 hours.

The search engine: http://tmtg.nl/ld46/

ldscrape-crop1-sm.jpg

Share games with few ratings

With only 3 days left for rating games, there's still a lot of games that haven't reached 20 ratings yet (though the percentage is lower than previous editions, which is a nice thing). There isn't really a way to see games which needs ratings except the Danger zone which lists those with 18-19 ratings and should get the missing ones easily, and the 'Zero' one which seems pretty unlikely to get the necessary ratings.

So, the idea here is to share some of those 'hidden' games (wether they're yours or not) and help them reach 20.

Here's a few :

Into the Abyss - Explore below the ocean in search of a missing expedition in this narrative submarine game.

Hamorigami - Play as a tree spirit keeping a bonsai alive in this small chill game.

Pyro Peril - A short but good-looking platformer.

Thank you all for the great feedback! We're working on a mobile port!

We're really happy with all of the reception that Turtle Daddy has gotten! We really enjoy the idea and vibe of the game, so we would love to flesh it out to a full game. We've ported it over to mobile and we feel like the controls are surprisingly fluid on mobile, so we will aim for a mobile release as well as a desktop.

We've also made several changes on the gameplay based on some players' critiques. We may upload a quick post-jam demo to Itch with the changes once this jam is over.

Here is the game play for the updated mobile version:

Post Jam Version of our game released and I want to support the Godot community!

Hey guys,

we did improved our game a lot for a post jam version! Our game is made with Godot and is about saving a campfire from distinction. You have to get the torch on the other end of the level and return back to your campfire. You will get some start items in order to make it work! Use them wisely and use the law of physics in your favorite! :smile: Anmerkung 2020-05-09 212339.png

We also need some more votes for getting a result (at the moment we have 14 ratings). Our game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/protect-the-torch

So please leave us some votes :smiley:

_ I'd love to play some other games made with Godot so please leave your link in the comments and i will play them!_

Thanks from Winchel!

We have fixed some bugs

We decided to switch from WebGL to downloadable version. The WebGL version had too many problems, time was a bit odd and weird stuff started to happen. So the weird time bug is now fixed with the downloadable version along with other bugs. Unfortunately not all of them, as i didn't have much time to work on it.

Hello LDers!

I'd love you to check my buddy jeff and put his batteries!

This is my third Ludum Dare, and I'm super happy with the way this weird game turned out!

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/why-jeff

Program has stopped working!

Program has stopped working, aka the sentence everyone really hates. Or aka the bullet hell game where you, the user, got your PC hacked, your cursor got all wonky, and all the big horrible viruses are out to get ya.

I was actually eagerly awaiting for someone to send me the first bug report, but it didn't happen, so I guess I released a bug-free game. Yay!

Though I left the audio rather unfinished (or more like inexistent) because the deadline was closing in on me, I am actually pretty content with what I managed to create in the short timespan. I'm definitely going to continue with the post-LD development.

Also - note to self - bring down the difficulty scaling, since at the current point, the difficulty gets punishing rather quickly, unless you get lucky with the powerups.

ProgramHasGottenPunishing.png

ProgramHasGottenDead.png

So... overall, not bad for my first game jam, I guess! Big thanks to everyone who rated and commented on my game, I really value any constructive criticism.

If you haven't done so yet - I'd be very glad if you took a few minutes to play the game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/program-has-stopped-working

:warning: ***Spolier Alert*** :warning:

:warning: I continue working and I hope you like the video, now if it is time to play and rate a little time and continue with the last levels of the game ... :warning: Remember to have fun! https://youtu.be/lP9H_10X7BA

Post-Jam version released! For fun :)

325f4.gif

We just released a post-jam version of the game! In it, we included the most requested fixes (like faster walking speed for the Druid), as well as some stuff that almost nobody asked for (like illustrating the intro). Now the game has two difficulty levels to chose from and it's harder to build your Cactus army.

If you haven't played "The Last Guardian", but would like to, you can find it here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/the-last-guardian. Use the jam version for rating.

But if you already played our game but always wished the Druid would go faster - go ahead, try the new and improved version! Here is a list of changes: - Harder difficulty available (optional) - Illustrated cutscene - Increased movement speed - Tree drops seeds which you now need to plant cacti - Improves attack and stagger animations - Added options and pause menu - Game win condition is more clear now - Added simple screen fading on scene transitions - Druid comments when tree is in danger

And now back to playing your games :smile: And if you play and leave a comment on ours, I will definitely play yours!

Pixelart Timelapse

Check out the art creation timelapse for our game, Extinction Intervention:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XoCi4D6d_g

Taken over the course of 20 hours (There were several hours of brainstorming, concepting, and sketching beforehand that I didn't capture). There are fun moments like:

🌊 Researching the Great Wave off Kanagawa painting to base the giant wave disaster off of (3:35)

💀Melting the dinos down to their skeletons (7:11)

🛸Making a UFO at 8:15, spending like 2 hrs animating and implementing, then realizing it was 1/2 the size it should be and redrawing it frame-by-frame at 9:05... 🤦‍♀️

Have a quick progression shot from concept to final concept_timelapse.gif

And if you haven't done so yet,

you can play and rate Extinction Intervention >> here <<!

Y not chill out and crush some Tyles?

Here's my post-compo update for my timing-based clicker game, Tyle. I've added many new features like an updated mouse cursor that provides useful information, a new bomb tile that destroys others around it, and a new "crit mode" that is briefly enabled when you get 10 successful crits (perfectly timed clicks) in a row. Please give it a go!

Check it out!

Bubbles Saves Grandma - Bugfixes and Quality of Life Galore!

Grandma.png Bubbles Saves Grandma has had some great reception, and through careful consideration of user feedback from both the Ludum Dare community and external players, I've been able to put together a list of the most commonly requested quality of life changes and the most complained about problems.

Today, I finally ofund the time in my schedule to put an hour in and tweaked the game a bit, and now it should be much more fun and a whole lot more playable!

Changes: - "R" key now resets the game immediately - highly requested by speedrunners - Bubbles will no longer hang desperately to edges only to later fall - he will be able to jump up! - The jump's consistency has been improved, and you should now always jump when you expect to - "Super jump" bug fixed - A voice clip has been added to the bathroom letting you know the sink is your destination, as some users found this room quite tricky to work out - Finally, the most requested feature of all: Bubbles has now decided it's ok to look back sometimes - Pressing S will now actually slow Bubbles down! I'm worried this might make the game too easy, but I'm excited to see feedback

Please let me know if there are any glaring issues or new bugs introduced with this version!

Thank you for joining Bubbles on this journey!

Looking for a game to rate?

There's only 2 days left to rate games, and if you haven't played my compo submission, "Defend the Loot!" why not give it a try? In the game you have to defend the loot chest as waves of enemies attack you. Before each wave you get a minute to build up your base.

You can find the game here https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/46/defend-the-loot

Developing my game after ludum dare - need ideas!

For this ludum dare I finally managed to take the advice to go for a really small scope. And it went pretty great I think. I am happy with the game I made and I had plenty of time for balancing.

Annotation 2020-04-19 212143.png

With this in mind, I didn't plan on building on the game after the compo. After all, it was designed to be a small little game to be played by ludum dare participants only. But after reading some comments, there might be some potential in this little game for further development. I just need some ideas on what to implement.

So, if you want, play my game and come with some suggestion on what to add. How can I make more levels? What kinds of weapons could I add that are interesting? More enemy types? Here is the link
