Story:

Spoiler

Hello, and welcome to Acme Biotech Inc.

Our top scientists have just finished working on our newest, innovative, ground-breaking product ever!

A remotely controlled killer T-cell.

This product will revolutionize the way medicine is practiced,

and will provide a way for an infection of virtually any strain of virus to be cured.

You will be going through a number of training exercises to learn how to use this new product....

So here's the dev log:

Sat. 11:00am US CST...

After eating breakfast, I rushed to the computer to discover what the GameJam theme was... 'drumroll'

Facade. Wow.

I didn't even really know what that meant.

I stared blankly at my screen for about five minutes, wondering how in the world I was going to turn this small word into a full fledged action adventure $50 blockbuster title with flying pigs as the main characters.
Suddenly, my Win. 7 bubbles screen saver kicked in. As my eyes suddenly focused on the bouncing spheres in front of me, and at the same time I happened to remember something from biology class. the lightbulb dawned. 'dingggg!' ...
I grabbed pencil and paper and began to jot down ideas as fast as they flooded into my gray matter....


First few notes...

And A Prototype Screenshot:

Well, to work to work.....

Sat. 5:00pm US CST...(after a hard days work)

Spoiler

Whew... That was a lot of programming, painting, copying, pasting, etc. But at least it was fun and worth it ! Here's some final screenshots of today's work:

Screenshot 01:

Spoiler

Working on:

- Finished UI ( 3:34)

Title: Masks of Duhkovu
WiP Topic with demo
DOWNLOAD
Description:

Spoiler

Some valuable trinkets of a tribe shaman has been stolen and you must go between Villages and sort through the Villagers and find who has his trinkets! They wont give this information easily some will have to be bribed with money, food, and dazzling items. Others may require Voodoo magic to get them to tell who has the missing trinkets. Many villagers hide behind masks as to shroud there true nature making it more difficult for you to know who has the trinkets and more costly to find out, can you do it with a limit of items and money?

Day 1 & early 2

Spoiler

Day one for me started at 6 pm so the next 6 hours was brainstorming idea's, Day 2 began with sprinting and coding work, ending with a very rough but playable demo with the very basics of the engine. Tomorrow will be implementing a small item system and fleshing out a menu and small campaign story, hopefully. All the while trying to come up with a title. I have a working demo and it will be posted on day 2 along with a WiP topic hopefully with a title by then!

Day 2

Spoiler

Day 2 started with beginning the item system, and making it work before the end of the day. I managed to get alot of things completed today, from item system to having nearly every other system started and basically ready for implementing. I'm spending to much time on graphics but I need to get a collection of masks complete so the collection feature will at least be present before the end of the comp. I don't think I'll have time to put in all the story features so for now it'll have to play as it does mostly now and after the comp I will take the time to add the story feature in properly.

End of Day2--Start of day 3: I have got masks working only 5 atm but some variety. Much more groundwork has been done to make finishings the last few important features that much easier but now I sleep xD.

Day 3

Spoiler

Today was a refinement of code and checking scripts for errors and condensing useless code. Some time was spent adjusting a few sprites, a unique feature for an item was roughly added in and more updates to current systems as I came across bugs. I have decided to stop 3-2 hours before the end of the Jam...because I need some bug testing time and well....help me out QUICKLY!! I LOST TRACK OF TIME! thank you Good luck to everyone else and thanks for looking at / playing my game

Get the shoes to your wife before she goes apesh*t.

WARNING: Quite difficult use F5 & F6 to save/load if you are have troubles beating the game. The ending is the best part :D!!!


Notes:

• Engine for the game was mostly premade (you can download the engine in my signature for a comparison)
• Theives will steal your gold ingot and run into their home. If they do this its GAME OVER!
• You can steal your gold ingot back from thieves but be quick!
• Do to me rushing the game, thieves have random movement stats (some are faster, some jump higher, some have more grip, some are craftier, some will intercept you mid jump)
• Press <P> to pause the game. <R> to restart the game.
• Most instructions are in game
• You have double jump, dash, wall jump at your disposal. You should use them
• You can grab onto ledges by holding <X> when you have nothing in your hand
• Press down in the air for a mid-air dive
• The keys <A>&<S> function the same as <Z>&<X> respectively

PolyWorld

PolyWorld is a game that was created by me for this Jam (obviously) and was made for fun and I enjoyed every minute of it! The aim of the game...well that is a surprise . Well i will give a few things away...YES THE GAME IS MADE UP OF MOSTLY POLYGONS (squares to be precise) as you would guess. The game does in fact follow the theme of this Jam "Facade" and to completely understand how it does you must first complete the story.

FEATURES:
- Amazing story-line that enthralls the player
- Eye catching HD graphics
- Expert level modelling
- AND MUCH MORE!!!

-DOWNLOAD-
- Click name at top to download (MediaFire)

My second jam game, made in about 30 hours. (Though work wise, I probably worked on it for maybe five)
It's pretty small, so It doesn't have a topic, but you can DOWNLOAD it if you want to.
DEVLOG:

Spoiler

hr 1 minute one: Okay, I'm gonna make a second game cause i'm bored. It might be a shooter or something.
Hr 1 minute twenty-nine: Okay, for the last half hour, I haven't been working. I haven't even been thinking about it. I was mainly playing high on life, and staring at that banana, which seems to be unpeelable;

Spoiler

If you had read my other devlog you would know what I was talking about

I think I'm gonna take a break to think of ideas.
hr 1 minute fifty-five: Okay, I have a pretty solid idea, but it would rely on surfaces which I've never used before
hr 2 minute forty-four: The game is going pretty well. As it turns out, surfaces are quite easy. Here's a screenie of the very early dev.

hr something minute I-don't-care: I'm getting tired, I might not be able to finish a second entry having worked 10 hours a day on the last one. I'm considering dropping this game out, but I'll see how I feel after a good nap...
hr 6 minute fifty-five: Okay, I'm back. The game is pulling together well, it'll be a small arcade thing, and I changed the gameplay SLIGHTLY, so here's another screenie. I added two more kinds of enemies, also.
hr 7 minute one: I'm taking another break. I hope to get more done tomorrow.

hr 1 minute five: Holy flying fudge! I overslept. I'll probably be done on time, but I might need to cut out some features...
hr 1 minute twenty-five: gonna take a break from gameplay to do music. Now to get GmBassmod...
hr 2 minute eight: I just spent ten minutes playing my own game. Either it's very addictive, or I'm really braindead. _{An I don't think it's really that addictive...}

Dedicated GMC Topic on this game

Corrupted by a facade of health, wealth and society, you are out to assassinate the figments of your imagination!
You are a victim of...


In Hallucinogun, you play as a man whose seeming style, class and intelligence unfortunately masks insane innards. Everything's an enemy to you, even the powerups! So you take your grandfather's shotgun and go and shoot at things!

The game is a weird first-person shooter, arena-based. It has a development time of around eight hours in total. Avoid contact with the heart beams and the beautiful balls - they will hurt you! And for the love of life, don't touch the health, ammo and money pickups either! More hurt!

Left Click: Shoot

[mrscience00]

I'd like to enter this game. I made this yesterday in about six hours. It is a difficult exploration-and-dialogue-driven platform game with some trippy elements inspired by the "facade" theme (and also by some older GM games like "An Untitled Story" and some of the fantastic work put out by cactus). Completion *is* possible and will result in one of two possible endings. As usual, press F1 for game information. If you are hopelessly stuck, PM me, and I can give you a clue.

I must say I love the entries this theme has produced so far. Good luck, everyone.

I'd like to submit the game i worked on today, it's based on the popular Tower Defense mode combined with the most intriguing Pokemon ever -Eevee... it's up to you to decide if this entry fits in the Facade theme:)
Anyway, I hope you like it and it's been fun making it in ~5-6 hours.

Falling For Milk
This is a no-jump precision platformer.

This guy wants milk for his cereal, really badly. Unfortunately, the door to his apartment is jammed and won't open, so what does he do? He jumps out the window! Who cares if his room is at the very top of the apartment building?

Use the arrow keys to move left and right, use the window sills to stop your fall. If you make too far of a drop, you'll die. Watch the fall meter above your head, that will tell you when you fall too far.

How does this game fit the theme, FACADE? From dictionary.com:

fa·cade   [fuh-sahd, fa-]
noun
1.
Architecture .
a.
the front of a building, especially an imposing or decorative one.
b.
any side of a building facing a public way or space and finished accordingly.
2.
a superficial appearance or illusion of something: They managed somehow to maintain a facade of wealth.

The whole game takes place on the side of a building, so the game should fit the theme.

My entry for the first GMC JAM 2011 with the theme FACADE is...

Mario Norris Kart
- Final Columbus II -



Get the game from <HERE> or Play it at Yoyogames Sandbox or see its topic at: http://gmc.yoyogames...howtopic=530481

A racing game featuring characters from Final Columbus in go-karts! Eight characters, eight racetracks, two cups, each one with three difficulty settings! You can also race Quickraces and Time Trial! And what's extra awesome is that in Time Trial mode, the best time will save a ghost you can race against, just like in the real go-kart games you buy for consoles!

And remember, this is not a 3D game... it's just a FACADE!

Sure this is a game you'd like to vote on?


Uses a modified version of TheSnidr's MODE-7 ENGINE.

Screenshots:

Spoiler

The saturday morning when I turned on my computer, I had a path-based AI from 2009, a game of mine to snatch graphics from, and a modified version of TheSnidr's Mode-7 engine Super Mario Kart example room...

Spoiler

Three days later... I have a functional Super Mario Kart clone, and I've actually learned how to use surfaces! I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself and extremely glad there was no errands to do this week-end.

The AI is extremely broken, there are a bunch of graphical glitches, and I haven't managed to use the theme properly enough in my opinion... but now I'm so exhausted I don't care about that. Enjoy my game, and I hope some of you got so surprised for this out-of-nowhere game you fell of your chairs.
