Hey everyone! :musical_note:
It's my first LD! Yay! I've made the music and sound effects of this game. I'm currently seeking for some feedbacks about it (mostly the score, but also the sound effects if you're into that).
You can listen to the full score here in better quality.
Making a game music score was a real challenge to me, especially considering it was the first time I made music for a game and not for myself. Moreover, I was used to produce more ambient or chill music, and nothing like a super rythmic and tense boss battle score!
I actually lost a lot of confidence in the first 24h trying to make something. Finally, in the end of the second day, I made a first version that you can hear here (click under the "start" word) using an oooold bassline and drums I made many years ago. But I was not super proud of this, so I continue working on it and came up with the whole soundtrack - that I'm more or less satisfied of - in the last 24h.
Please, I'll gladly hear any feedback you have on this soundtrack. :musical_score:
I'll also appreciate if you would precise if you are yourself a music maker, a game music maker or even if you're not
Hi everybody !
This post will be like @jeremy-ryan 's (that you can find here). I'll copy his idea of selecting games by LD's categories but I'll try to name other games that he's speak about. But, definitely check out his post, he's got some nice picks.
*The dealine for _Playing+Rating_ is in a few days now, so I guess it's the perfect time for sharing with you the best games I've played so far. *
I've prioritize games that have not many ratings. Most of them are under 50 ratings, sometimes they barely have 20 and one even has only 6 ratings, definitely check it out for him to score !!!
The Tail of the Serpent by @le-slo (JAM) and Pucamuc by @catonator and @mors (JAM)
Music, innovative and fun gameplay, good take on the theme, great atmosphere and nice graphics, they have it all. These are my absolute best picks on this LD. Definitely check them out.
Pucamuc is a super juicy and colorful aventure plateformer with great humor and actual game design. In this game you have to move while jumping which is a bit weird at first but then become like a second nature with which you can fool around and have fun.The levels are challenging but not too difficult, creative enough to introduce new mechanics very frequently and have a little depht with secrets here and there. GREAT JOB to the team.
The Tail of The Serpent is a great puzzle game with a simple but effective atmosphere. The gameplay here evolves around the question: how can you move as a snake? You can eat your tail to become smaller and also to change the composition of your body with different orb shapes that needs to be in certain places to win the level. Overall the experience is super if you're into puzzle games.

15 Minutes to Live by @f1krazy (COMPO) and Ente by @j0ye (COMPO)
Well, Compo really seems to let you dive into great ideas for a game.
In Ente you have to sell your own true secrets to the NPCs to have more time to spent on the island. Here, your own life is currency and you feel really like loosing cherished memories that you never shared with anyone to continue playing.
15 Minutes to Live delivers a very interesting story inspired by the movie "In Time". In this game, all humans have predetermined lifespans but yours has been stolen. You wake up and have only 15 Minutes to Live and to discover who stoll you your lifespan.

The Trade by @jantunes, @isaque-picao-sanches, @davidvfilipe and @chickenpt (JAM)
This one only have 6 ratings!
The Trade is really hard to describe, you really have to experience it. Here, we got a true art performance. It's something very different, something that will really make you have deep feelings, that will make you be face to face with yourself ... The description of this game is not lying … Definitely try it out.

Dear substance of Kin by @deconstructeam (JAM)
This one could have be in the mood category too. Dear Substance of Kin is a masterpiece of pixel art that uses details and such to give a dark atmosphere to the game. You embody a mysterious figure that ventures one more time in a desolate village to listen to the people's desires. I'm not telling more, it's an amazing game that needs to be experienced by itself.
There is no "Narrative" category in LD's classification but this one has an interesting storytelling which is not only by reading and learning but also by doing.

Inflate me to the Moon by @xellaya and @ddrkirbyisq (JAM)
Inflate me to the Moon (that could be subtitled "a tribute to Bart Howard") is a game made of fast paced and very fun mini games.
I have absolutely adored the music of this game and also its sound effects that were super rich. The overall score of the game is pretty diverse and super catchy. Really, like, many genres and even a cover! :O It goes really well with the art style in making a goofy atmosphere with a - kind of - dramatic storytelling :)
I had a ton of fun playing this game which is also very, very polished.
And it has voice over ... me being like "what ?!" Definitely wins the Audio category.
You can listen to its soundtrack here!

KNIFE=LIFE by @quadape (COMPO) and Our Dear Friend by @jyrkface, @ham and @wildebeest (JAM)
KNIFE=LIFE is an awesome action game where you shoot knives with slowmotion and dodge ennemies' bullets. You can buy powerups in exchange for hearts and collect more hearts as you progress in the level. The mechanic and the physics are overall very well done and the actual gameplay is super addictive and very fun. There is a loooot of juice in there and you'll love to die and retry until you're the boss of the game.
Our Dear Friend takes a more narrative turn but is also super fun with a lot of feedback and gameplay elements. Here you progress in a dark cave with your hook and a few arrows. You can then trade some of your maximum health for powerups (more arrows, more rope, more jumps). The level adds more ennemy types as you progress. Also, you have a bit of lore and atmosphere with some dialogue lines, which is super cool. The art, also, is pretty well done because you can't see really far from you so you must learn to be careful ...

Seize The Clay by @failedstarfish, @adamd and @seconddimension (JAM) and 99 hearts by @failpositive and @barret (JAM)
Seize the Clay as the name suggests, is a game about pottery. It's like those NintendoDS-make-your-art games. You have everything to make pottery and can be creative about it. Nice job, didn't see something like that coming.
99 Hearts is a game inspired by the board game Caracassonne. Here, you can make your own map each time you kill all the ennemies on a tile. And each tile gives you also a random powerup. Then, you can quickly become mega baddass and overpowered and that's a ton of fun!
Also, both of these game have incredible soundtrack and are super fun to play.

Victor Spumante and the Raindrops of Burgundy by @gimblll (COMPO)
Well, it's time for the end of the list already. And I'm leaving you with one of the absolute art pieces that this jam - no, the world! - has to offer ... Victor Spumante and the Raindrops of Burgundy. I think it needs no explaination, just be curious ;)
Alright! I think it's done! Have fun while playing these games and let me know what you think of them :)
*Don't forget to rate and leave feedback on these amazing games *:yum:
Hey everyone!
I've made a little review/shoutout to some of the best games I've played this LD. Most of them don't have too many ratings and if you have some free time this weekend, you should definitely check them out.
Here is a link to my post with all the links and everything.
Obviously there are way more terrific games out there, but for now, these are my best picks. I'll still be testing some this weekend, a new list could be uploaded to promote other great games but idk.
Also, you can, if you don't know already, check this filter to find games that need a few more ratings to score.
Here is our wordcloud like other games out there have already done.
It's actually fun to see what words come up :)
That's crazy, to me. And 100 is actually a lot, I've spent like almost all my free time these past weeks on testing everybody's games ... And there are still SO MUCH I have not played, and will not play, and will not even know about!
Anyway. But for the little hundred of the 2500+ from the jam that I have played, I've got my favourites.
I've already made a little post on my top picks a few days ago but, in the meanwhile, I've played other great games.
So, please enjoy only a small shoutout to them.

Finally I give up the idea of proposing a mod as an entry here so I'm free to help you. I can make game music and sfx if you want ! :musical_note:
Don't hesitate to ask me.
I'll be available tomorow and monday.
Check the music i did for the last LD here https://soundcloud.com/pl4typus-dude/sets/life-corp
Hey there,
Music man searching for cute game designer here. Send nudes (and by that I mean your rawest code).
Anyway, if you need someone to make music for you, I can be your guy. (and maybe even sfx if I have the time)
Here is an old Soundcloud : https://soundcloud.com/pl4typus-dude
For the boys who know a bit about music : I hope to try to learn a bit more about mastering through this event. Besides, I'd like to work with FM synthesis on basic synths like Ableton's Operator. Also I'd maybe try to have jazzy chord progression here and there, and/or more ambient works. I listen a lot to Brian Eno's works these days, and Lorenzo Senni. (Warp record fanboy here). Finally, if i can blend some synths and acoustic insturments too (like flute, vibraphone, marimbas, trumpets), it'd be a win for me. I loved the arrangements on Link's Awakening's Switch remake's OST. Also I love works by Lena Raine.
