First game jam, first post and a slew of firsts in the game itself but it's coming along pretty good for a solo jam! I'm pretty proud even if it doesn't win. Everything was built from scratch except 15 short lines of code for the sonar
It's compressed to death but here's a quick preview of my submarine and sonar swimming through a cave!
I know some people were having toruble completing my game and getting to some of the better parts. I also know that it's my own fault for putting the volcanoes/heat vents a little too far apart and hard to see. I obviously can't change that now that submissions have ended so I decided to make a video to show you how to beat the game.

A lot of people were unhappy with a key binding so I fixed it along with slowing down the rate at which you lose 0xygen and energy. It was too hard and nobody was completing the game (i think).
Don't worry. The original ludum upload submitted before the deadline is still there if you want to try that and rate me based on that first but if you want to try my fix later and let me know if it's better, feel free to try that one too
https://www.twitch.tv/gorethumb is playing games if you want him to take a look. there's no one in his stream at the moment so you're likely to get someone to play right away. He's a good guy and gives really good feedback.
Hey everyone! Many people are into game dev but claim that they aren't very familiar or strong at the programming side. I can program and I love to teach so, I'm making a game dev series on youtube! It'll actually be several playlist but but the playlists will be independent parts of a whole.I'm not an artist so they arent pretty but they are informative. It's also my first attempt so let me know if I confuse anyone.
I know I only finished one play list thats the bignner level of programming but i wanted to post this before the game jam. The rest are to come.
Playlists: - 1) object oriented programming - beginner Learn the basics to programming. Still very useful by itself for learning game dev but may be a little difficult to make the connection without more help. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLosXpbuDBmknsxcI8Zz7tGwt9-9vyWsc_ - 2)object oriented programming - intermediate Get a deeper understanding of objects and learn more programming concepts TBD - 3) object oriented programming - advanced TBD (if at all) maybe networking, learning about files etc. - 4) game development - beginner (Godot and some Unity) learn the concepts of game development and how the different engines are similar and how they contrast TBD - 5) game development - intermediate (Godot) dive deeper with a 3D game making a Rubiks cube TBD - 6) game development - advanced TBD
The thing that sucks about working alone is that obviously you have to do everything alone from scratch and it's time consuming. I made a game and all of the mechanics are there but I ran out of time to test the feasibility and if the game is even balanced. 1 play through and... it's not. it's way too easy to win... and repetitive. Unlike last jam, i didn't get to fully complete this but i'm submitting it anyway. Enjoy. or at least try to.
I don't look forward to the comments and reviews :(
LD48 was my first game jam and it was "Deeper and deeper". Similar to this jam. I can't help but keep thinking about that game and making something too similar.
I forgot how to submit
