THE GMC JAM 20 GAMES TOPIC

 

THEME: PREHISTORIC

 

HANDICAP: FAILURE SHOULD RESULT IN LOSS OF SOMETHING OTHER THAN PROGRESS

 

HYPE OBJECT: PETS

 

The Jam Compliation Zip!!!

*will go here in the end*

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the official GMC Jam #20 Games Topic!

Here you MUST POST YOUR GAMES to be considered for the final voting and to receive any prizes. There are some strict rules for posting in this topic and anyone who does not follow them will have their posts removed, so I strongly advise you read (and re-read!) the following before doing something you may regret later :

• Each entry has ONE post only. It must be used to show development of your game (while the Jam is on, you may are encouraged to <EDIT> your post to update people on your progress), or the actual finished game itself.

• A link to your game MUST be posted here before the end of the Jam to qualify for votes in the final stage. An actual topic in the Games Forum is not necessary, but bare in mind that this topic is only for games - so if you want feedback, criticism or comments on your game it is recommended that you create a WIP topic and link to that too.

• This topic is ONLY for showcasing the games and their progress, not for discussion or any other type of post. If you wish to comment on a game, do it in the actual games topic (or in the GMC Jam discussion topic), but not here! All posts that break this rule will be deleted during the Jam. When voting begins, comments can then be made within the context of the vote in the voting topic.

• When adding new progress blogs/screenshots to your post (via the <EDIT> button) please use the SPOILER tags to hide previous content. In this way we can keep the topic tidy and organised and people can see the progression of your game from start to finish.

• If you drop out of the Jam, (please don't but *if* you do) PLEASE PM me to sort out your post (& don't just delete the contents).

A zip file will be created within a few days of the Jam finishing to facilitate the playing of all entries.
This zip will have a randomiser in it so that people play the games in a random order, so don't think that calling your game A.A.A. Aardvarks Ardent Adventures (for example) is going to get you more plays!

It is STRONGLY recommended that you create some form of "help" page in your game as some (most?) people will NOT have read your posted topic and so have no idea what controls your game has, nor how it is to be played etc etc etc... Not including this information will have a negative impact on your game so I recommend enough that you take a few extra minutes to do it.

And that's about it. I encourage each of you that is working on a game to create videos, take screenshots and generally create a developers blog in your post. Each new entry can be edited into the post while old entries can be hidden using SPOILER tags and if you wish to discuss anything Jam related, remember that we still have the Official Jam Topic, which the moderators check regularly and there you can ask questions, make suggestions or discuss entries.

Good luck to all who participate and as always I trust this will be another fantastic community jam and that everyone will have fun!

 

Let da good times roll!!!

Devlog

(As ever, all times are in CDT. Day 1 is Oct 23, 2015.)

Day 1

Spoiler

Start - Um... game stuff. Yes, I'll be making a game. It'll probably be prehistoric in nature. Yeah...

3:50 PM - Ideas are finally flowing in. :D A very basic card game. No complicated rules. Literally just power levels. Higher power level wins. The card game isn't the main point of the game; it's just the combat system. At the top-level, you wander around a prehistoric wasteland (you've just landed there accidentally when your time machine crashed) talking to cavemen. The cavemen all fight using this card game, so in order to earn status in the community you have to fight them. Here's the catch: they don't speak your language. You start the game with a perfect universal translator machine that converts their text into English for you. Every time you lose a card game, your translator gets weaker (loss of something other than progress) and you can't communicate as well with the locals.

7:54 PM - FYUEIWGREYKUWGJHGVF Still idea hunting.

8:38 PM - Alright. Hizno and I are officially a team. And we've got a killer idea. Let's get started!

10:49 PM - I give you... placeholder graphics! The main point of this image is to show the textbox working.

Spoiler

Day 2

Spoiler

12:30 AM - Your life support doubles as your translator. These people you meet are speaking in caveman grunts, so you need your translator to understand. If you're healthy, that's fine.

Spoiler

But if your health gets low, the life support has to fuel your health and can't put as much energy into translating.

Spoiler

Yes, that's the same line of text.

12:30 AM (addendum) - In case it wasn't clear, that's how we're interpreting the handicap. Instead of dying or losing progress when you take hits, your translator gets damaged so you "lose" the ability to communicate with people. But don't worry; you can earn it back by defeating enemies.

12:37 AM - And it's my bedtime. Hizno is still working, so I should have lots of sprites to add once I wake up.

11:30 PM - I'm awake. Hizno is asleep now, so I'll be doing just the coding right now.

12:24 PM - Been making a lot of changes to the dialogue system. The text takes longer to become irreparably distorted now (to make it more fair). And there's also the possibility of "special" dialogue paths that are only available if your health is full. Basically, really eloquent things that you can only express if your translation abilities are at their fullest. Also, inventory.

Spoiler

That thing at the top. You can have ten items. Some will be quest-related, some will be weapons. There will be a very basic combat system (which I'll probably do next).

1:01 PM - I've mostly just been adding to the plot. There are going to be a couple of small branches (for example, when you're presented with the main quest of the game and asked if you want to be the hero, "No" is a perfectly viable and still valid answer) and a couple of small side quests.

2:37 PM - Got the plot all planned out. There's one place where the story branches slightly (allowing you to get different items) and two optional side quests in addition to the main plot. I also have a world map, but I don't want to post it here since some of the areas are sort of meant to be a maze and if you have the map it's too easy.

3:31 PM - The dialogue system looks prettier now. The people's mouths move when they talk. Obviously, the creepy black-and-white humanoids are just filler until Hiz finishes the character art.

Spoiler

5:00 PM - Hiz is up and dinner's ready, so I'm taking a short break. He's really starting to churn out character art though.

5:33 PM - Lots of character art, as promised. (WARNING: Really big spoiler block there)

Spoiler

6:54 PM - Got combat working, more or less. Also, you can drop items now, since you can only have ten at a time. Combat is very simple and turn-based. You attack, then the enemy attacks. All enemies have one attack, and all attacks deal constant damage. The only real wrench in the works is one special item you can get that causes enemies to sometimes miss.

7:01 PM - Oh good. It was about time for me to start having technical issues with GM. Apparently the close button has decided to start ignoring me. So whenever I want to close GM it's CTRL+ALT+DEL time...

7:27 PM - Combat now has icons to tell how much damage you did.

Spoiler

And now it's time to stop putting it off. I need to design the real world. I've got the map; I just need to start piecing the nodes together.

9:25 PM - Yay for sed scripts. I literally just wrote an 8-line sed script to generate 210 lines of GML that I don't have to write myself now.

10:32 PM - My fingers are so ****ing tired. I just wrote over 600 lines of room-connecting code for all the rooms in my game. Now it's dinnertime.

11:45 PM - Got dialogue working with Hizno's images. (GifCam messed with the color a bit for some reason)

Spoiler

Day 3

Spoiler

12:06 AM - Going to bed. Hiz is going to be up for awhile I believe.

10:19 AM - Good morning, GMC. It's level design time!

12:44 PM - I'm about to do something I haven't done since Jam 11.

Spoiler

1:59 PM - The intro is done. Everything up to when you jump in the time machine and go to the past works. There isn't much branching plot there, so it's not very interesting. I would release a demo but there's still a load of placeholder art, so I'm going to hold off for now.

2:39 PM - Yes, I am having fun mistranslating my own game.

Spoiler

3:35 PM - And Hizno's back up. Time to finish this beast up.

4:35 PM - The first battle is completely designed... with placeholder art for the dinosaur, of course. Now I'm working on random encounters.

7:56 PM - I think the forest map is messed up. The system's just decided to ignore the map I drew. I can't figure out where I am, but I think I'm going to leave it like that. Navigate the forest at your own risk.

9:56 PM - The hermit quest is done. Now to do the witch.

Day 4

1:10 AM - Alright. Time for release.

10:30 AM - Alright, got lots of fixes. First off, the final battle is now, ya know, accessible. Hizno found another game breaking glitch. Man, I'm glad I'm not doing this alone. Anyway, some other graphical changes and convenience stuff like tooltips and the like.

10:46 AM - Aaaand another release. Messed with the spawn rates for some rare enemies.

2:55 PM - Added music. Hopefully it works. I'm in class so I can't test it.

The game is DONE and can be DOWNLOADED RIGHT HERE! (v.1.08, just can't stop fixing bugs  )

(alternative crappy mirror)

 

DEVLOG:

Spoiler

 

 

DAY 1:

 

The first "day" was short, the Jam started at 9 PM and I put it all away at 1:30 AM. I've got a fairly solid engine that's slowly taking shape, though I made some early errors that will come back to haunt me later on and make the whole process a lot slower.

 

I've got a GREAT soundtrack already. It's a shame that the game doesn't really feature any advanced animations as that's what I've been learning lately. I'll see if I can put something in there, do I dare to actually draw God himself?

 

Here's a screenshot of my dual monitors during the last hour of coding. I'll keep on posting these as some sort of devlog so I wont have to write too much

 

 

DAY 2:

I'm fixing all the water...

 

 

It refuses to go where it's suppose to, which is following the bloody pipes...

I thought I'd try to make a ton of stuff, finish up the coding and then start building some interesting puzzles. Right now I'm kinda doing both of those things at the same time which isn't effective enough...

 

---- It's now the end of the day and I feel like I've made a bunch of progress even though I had visitors over almost the entire day. As said before, here's a screendump of what it looked like the minute I stopped working tonight.

 

Left to do is the tutorial tips throughout the game as well as more levels, mechanics and puzzles. I found out that there is a very similar game to mine online so I'm working extra on separating the two by making new, unique mechanics that also fit the Jam's theme. Ghand out!

 

Day 3: Short day. Don't have all that much time to dedicate to the jam, and I've got school tomorrow so the project wont be all that big. That being said, I'm starting to feel satisfied.

 

Ending day three at 23:14, school tomorrow at 8. I've got everything done, I'm satisfied. Tomorrow will be spent squashing the one bug that I simply haven't managed to get rid of no matter how hard I've tried. I estimate that will take 2-3 hours, then the game is ready to go online! 

 

End of the day screendump:

 

 

DAY 4:

The bug has been killed. It took a while, not quite as long as I feared though, yet I had to redo a lot and put many functions that previously were on separate objects into one big "controller". The game is finished, I'm thinking about adding one or two more levels since I've got the time, no more mechanics though. We'll see, I'll take a break and think about it.

 

I thought about it. I didn't do it. The game is up, I've replaced the .exe 4 times already with minor bugfixes, though I think it should be "perfect" now. If only Norton could leave the file alone...

 

Thanks for the Jam, hope you like the game and I'll see you all next time! 

Ghandpivot out! (again)

Days leading up to jam:

Assembling an all-star team with anyone from the community who wanted to join.

 

Early Friday:

I'm realizing I've gathered a kickass team with awesome qualities.

 

Late Friday:

Team member said "Jam has started now, 2 hours early" and I've spent 10 minutes panicking.

We get the best idea. Ever. I'm serious. Well, within the specifications of this jam.

I've decided to program the game in Parakeet 2, and I'm thinking I should go to bed before midnight so I can get up early.

Fast-forward a few hours. It's now 2am and I'm finally going to bed - setting the alarm for 9am.

Current progress: player state machine and first round of graphics implemented. No jumping

 

Early Saturday:

Panic!! It's 11am!! I set my alarm for 9!!

Shower, breakfast, season 6 episode 1 of The Walking Dead....

Panic!! It's 1pm!!

Chaosmore says he thinks the team is too big (we are 4 persons now) and that he is also making a solo game

I'm implementing all the new graphics and animations. Houston, we have jumping!

This jam is also a usability test for Parakeet 2 and it is resulting in a lot of bug / general fixes so far. Luckily the Parakeet 2 development team is absolutely amazing and get things resolved in a matter of hours, while I continue working on this jam game.

 

Mid Saturday:

Woohoo! There's a new internal Parakeet 2 version I'm updating to... This one is much nicer  Wait.. Guys... Guys... Parakeet 2 doesn't accept keyboard input now... Guuuuuyyyys!!!

The new running animation by RAZzullix is hilarious... Now that I've implemented it, I'll tweet some GIFs and update the GMC games topic post so everyone can have a good laugh... What's better than a guy running off a cliff? In a video game, that is... in a video game... Disclaimer: Jobo does not endorse, recommend or encourage running off cliffs.

I'm an idiot. That's what I thought for an hour. Turns out it was a bug in the GameMaker Studio version I'm using. Added an extra room to initialise a global variable to work around the bug... That annoys me a lot.

 

Late Saturday:

Matchday!! Arsenal - Everton time! Öziil... Giiiiroooouuddd!!! Koscielnyyyyy!! Goooaaal!

I've gotten a PM on the GMC.... Sezri? Hmm, he wants to join the team but the jam has already begun... Ahhh who am I kidding, come on in and grab a seat by the fire! (we don't actually have a fireplace... or chairs). Awesome! An extra programmer! I was really looking forward to scripting the intro cutscene.... but I'll let him have that. Now he has all the rest of the jam to refine that - the first impression of the game! OooOOooOooo exciting!

It's 1am and I better get to bed now... I'm gonna get up between 8-9am so I can continue working on this game.

 

Early Sunday:

It's 7am and I'm up!

Already working hard on the game...

 

Mid Sunday:

I'm still working hard on the game... No breaks, other than to do the laundry and whatnot.

The team is pulling their own weight in gold on graphics and audio.

I'm very impressed by Sezri's cutscene... I gave very few directions and the cutscene awesome!

Sezri is now implementing the all-important raptors.

 

Late Sunday:

Sezri is a superstar! If it wasn't for him, our game might very well have been too ambitious for this jam. He's saving my as-... bottom!

Okay, first break of the day... I took 3 hours off... Dinner, Rocket League, and some FIFA Pro Clubs.

Now I'm back to working on the game, and I'm writing the transition from cutscene to game. The game is starting to take shape!

 

Mid Monday:

Chaosmore, one of our graphic artists, has lost all power. Whole street is dead. Uh-oh...

Oh phew! 30 minutes later he's back.... That was lucky!

 

Late Monday:

After a long day at work, and an even longer (or so it seems) night at home, crunching to finish the game with Superstar Sezri -- all the graphics artists had completed their job by this point -- here it is. Sadly some content didn't make it into the game (sorry RAZzullix and Chaosmore!), but those were smaller polish elements (although really nice elements). A jam is a jam after all, and we accomplished A LOT in the time frame available to us.

We plan out game

Teammate dropped out so I end up solo.

Day 1

Spoiler

- Alive! And Better than ever! Since Im working alone on this, I will make something totally different from what planned just to avoid time consuming on working in this project alone. 

- Came up with a name for the game immediately. Idea behind will need some work.

- Started a new project and placed it in my folder. I gave it some DnD into it since its gonna be a platformer puzzle game. 

- Have the platformer engine all set up easily. Now just need to create some artworks!

- My art work still needs doing. So anyway, I started tweaking with the physics a bit and starting to come out good. 

- Made four levels and dying mechanics. 

- I added a reset key so whenever a mistake is made, something happens

- Will add a give up key too. Why? ... Hehe... you'll eventually find out.

- Started working on the AI character.

 

Day 2

Spoiler

- Working on art work again. This time I finally made some sprites but still needs fixing. 

- I finally made a banner for my game!

- I still need to make more art works before continuing with game mechanics. :s

Day3

[spoiler]

-Been too busy with college classes but i did some programming during one of the sessions at least.

-Manage to fix some art and add more tiles to the background

-Finally got all levels made, and the hud too.

-Finished game! ... kinda

-Every time your character dies, you get to choose a slight mutation of him for your next run
OR
-The enemies start out as a standard mook, then have tiny mutations, and the ones that damage you the most become more common, therefore shaping the enemies to be especially targeted against the individual player.
Or both?
01:06 into the jam:

~2 days into the jam: Hmm yeah, not very dedicated this time around, seeing as I have to read a hundred or so pages by tomorrow. I'll get something done though, it just might not be fun and fit the handicap in the loosest of terms!

~3 days into the jam: Got some basic gameplay, but I have a lot of work to do, so I have to dummy up a quick menu (and a non-subjective scoring system- eek) before I'm done. I'll see what I can do.

The no-gameplay-concept

DOWNLOAD

 

So, didn't have time to make any gameplay.  Just an experiment in AI and mood.

You can move the view by positioning the cursor to the sides of the screen. Or click on the minimap to jump to that position.

The population soars to about 100, then dwindles down again.  I haven't played it long enough to see if they completely die out or if it builds back up again.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to add in any animals.  Too bad, I thought they turned out looking good.

[12:55 ECT] Lunch. After lunch returns to project and, well... Something else.
[14:44 ECT] They do something more than moving!
[15:59 ECT] Maybe I could record a short video in a while... Combat with both enemy and tiny cells works (although with tiny cells, saying "combat" is maybe not right).
[Some time later ECT] Not really sure what to do. I know it's not anything good, but I have no idea what to do to make it any better.
...I've completely forgotten to update. Well, you can already see the version to be submitted. Kinda different.

My dibs on "The Caveman's Guide To Pets"!

 

What's it about?

Spoiler

You're a caveman, and you get a pet.

You raise your pet by feeding it dismembered body parts of other cavemen. So get hunting!

It will slowly evolve over time...

Spoiler

It will then go on a massive rampage, causing the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. XD

You may also be able to play with your pet, if I implement that in time.

An Actual Devlog (!)

 

Friday:

Spoiler

Music, sfx, and some graphics are done.

Title's somewhat done.

You can start the game and spawn your pet from an egg, and also go to the village to begin hunting for fresh meat!

 

Saturday:

Spoiler

Start of Day: Npcs to kill, Dinosaur now "evolves" and candycorn.

7:40PM: Ability to turn off most blood, final rampage nearly done, has an ending and...

Spoiler

The last 10 seconds of the game turns the background orange, with the asteroid ready to aid in mass extinction.

10:33 PM: Pretty Much Done. Ready for Submission.

Here's the game btw: (Soundtrack included too)

Did some quick edits to the help text to make it more clear on how to collect gibs: hold z key over blood puddles.

Also, here's some screenshots (If anyone can actually view them?)

Friday

Spoiler

23:59 - So because the theme was revealed earlier than expected I got to work a little today, which was a welcome surprise. I had a brilliant idea for the black magic theme and a good idea for the psychedelic theme but since the actual theme was neither of those I went with the decent prehistoric idea (though it's probably more stone age than dinosaur time). 

 

I want to make a game where you battle cavemen in a deathmatch-esque platform game using clubs and slings. The gimmick to it is that when you die, controls are immediately transferred to one of your team mates, though there's a catch and that's the limited number of cavemen you have available which means it'll be harder to defeat the enemies with each fallen ally. I'm not sure what should happen when all allies die; it should be game over but that still goes against the handicap. Maybe I'll just have a meteorite wipe out all life on the planet when that happens.

 

Some slope physics. I'll have the entire stage as a sprite and use pixel detection for collisions. It may not be as efficient as a tile grid but the game won't be very big so it'll probably be fine.

 

Tomorrow I'll make the weapons and AI. I'm looking forward to the latter as I have a plan that will either make or break the game!

 

Saturday

Spoiler

11:30 - I'm working on the AI as planned. In order to let them find their way around the stages I'm using a node system to indicate ground and edges. The AI will create a path using the following steps:

1. Find the ground node closest to your current position.
2. Choose a goal node depending on your current objective.
3. For each node, starting with yours, give it a point and give one more point to all nodes connected to it unless A) the node has a lower score than you're about to give it or B) The node is the goal node in which case you just give it a score and stop traversing the graph.
4. Now each node should have a score based on the distance to the starting node. Traverse the graph backwards by choosing nodes with a smaller score than the current node. This is your path!

 

12:00 - When at an edge node the npc will either jump or walk off the edge depending on what the node says. Unfortunately I have to manually place and connect all nodes and I'm not sure they will work with slopes as that's gonna mess with height levels of the nodes. I've just finished creating the node path so the next step will be to make the npc actually follow it.

 

 

13:00 - It works!

 

 

17:00 - I'm back! I've had guests so I've been gone the entire day but I can finally start working again. I'm implementing weapons now and swinging the club feels really satisfying. I can't wait until the enemies get send flying from it. I'll make sure to upload a gif of that once it's done!

 

18:00 - Whack-a-caveman feels great! Right now the enemies don't do very much and there are no teams so eventually I suppose they'll have to get some colored cloths or hides to separate the teams. Until then, enjoy:

 

19:45 - The player and Npc cavemen can attack with both melee and ranged attacks and when they're out of health characters die. The enemies aren't very intelligent yet and they're all in the same enemy team. The next task will be to divide them so that some are in the player's team and then give them different priorities and targets depending on the mission. I'm pretty sure they'll be able to handle deathmatch, capture the flag and zone control stages so we'll see what I'll do. I'm also thinking of changing the goal of the game to be more traditional; you still swap character when you die but cavemen respawn after a while.

 

21:15 - We (almost) have our first game mode: team deathmatch! The progress bar shows how many cavemen you have compared to the enemy side. Once you get some allies (and probably a respawn system so that the matches can last a little longer) we're set!

 

 

22:30 - For some darn reason the npc:s have a much harder time targeting enemies than I had anticipated. They also tend to try beat up each other when there are no enemies left which is annoying but I don't really care. As expected it's a chaotic mess and since they have a tendency to form a tight group it's super easy to finish off a whole bunch by melee-ing the bunch. I might give each character individual stats (speed especially) to give them some variety and I'll probably make it so that they take a varying amount of time to start moving once the match begins to spread them out.

 

02:00 - I'm falling asleep in my chair right now. I can't believe how long it took to implement a decent soul swap mechanic! After having glitched out the graphics in every way imaginable I finally found a way to draw things without them moving about at the same time. I'm also reducing the fps during the transfer for some extra effect.

 

 

Good night!

 

 

Sunday

Spoiler

11:30 - Mornin'. I've spent the last hour tidying up the soul transfer and have added a health bar for the player. I don't know what I should do next so I think I'll just add a few sound effects for now. At some point I'll have to fix up the graphics and give the game a win and lose state but I'll do that later.

 

13:45 - I've added some sound effects but no music yet. I've also made the first level which is fairly straightforward. The game is really fun but I need to make matches longer or it'll be over in less than a minute and that would suck. 

 

 

15:00 - Instead of finding a way to prolong matches I've added dinosaur eggs that can be captured and carried to your base. This will be an alternate kind of mission alongside the standard brawl.

 

 

17:30 - I've been messing and mashing with the npc AI in order to get egg capture to work. So far it almost works except it doesn't and things crash and get ugly. Soon though, verrry soon.

 

18:30 - NOT!! For some darn reason it refuses to work, the AI just can't seem to accept that the egg is gone and crashes. I don't have time for this... *Sigh*

 

18:45 - I've decided to ignore the issue for now and make some deathmatch levels instead. If you cant fix it, don't bother with it...

 

21:00 - I'm kind of done with the second level now. It's not perfect and the AI has trouble with the small platforms but it'll do for now. Onward!

 

 

23:15 - Working on the third level now. It's a cave level and it takes forever to make. I still haven't learnt to test navigating the map before adding details to it so I've had to redraw things a lot more than what should be necessary.

 

00:00 - So I've spent about two and a half hour on this last level and it turns out my AI can't handle it. Apparently cavemen should no be in caves (oh, the irony) as the map seems to be too complicated for them. I'll keep it for now and then we'll see what I can do about it but I have so much more I must do and so little time tomorrow! The fourth level won't be in a cave but it should be using the egg capture mechanic so I'll need to get that together and working. That'll be tomorrow though. Good thing, because I think I'm going slightly insane over here. Yup, definitively time to end this for tonight.

 

Monday!

Spoiler

13:37 - Once again we set off for the final stretch! After doing some studying this morning I'm all set to dedicate the rest of the day to finish this. Up first is fixing the AI, though that'll probably take the entire day. I cross my fingers and hope for the best! I also want to make one if not two more levels, including an egg capture stage and add a story, menu and music. Yeah, I'll be busy. 9 hours until (personal) deadline.

 

18:30 - What exactly have I accomplished today? I have not fixed the AI, not added any levels, nor have I fixed the egg capture mode. I haven't even added music yet. I have done something though. I've added a splash text when starting a level and have been working on setting up a story for those who care to read (no graphics here, what'd you expect people? )

 

 

The next level I make will be the egg capture level. Hopefully it'll go smoothly!

 

20:30 - I've finished drawing that next level. Now I just have to set up the path-finding nodes and fix the egg mechanic and then I'm almost done. Can I do that in two hours? Probably. Can I fix the rest of the things needed? Nope, so let's go!

 

 

21:45 - I have not yet modified the egg capture AI but at least it doesn't crash right now. I think I'll let the npc:s be moronic if that lets me spend the final hour remaining polishing up a few other things. Like music, I really need to find some good tunes.

 

23:15 - That's it, I'm calling it done now. I seriously should have gone to bed  a long time ago. The game is done. It may not be perfectly balanced and the handicap might have been lost somewhere down the road but I don't really care about that. This have been fun, the game is fun and I can ask for nothing more. Thanks to everyone who joined in and good night!

Devlog:

 

12:28PM: Well that failed. I only managed to do 10 levels but I like how I did the narration. For my first GMC jam this has been nice. I really enjoyed it and this is still only the beginning. Can't wait to see everyone else's games and I hope you like mine

 

Spoiler

Day 2:

4:03 AM: Finished my first build of the game with 7 levels. Hope to reach closer to 20 by the time the jam ends.

1:34 PM: Giving myself until 6PM to do all the levels before going into polishing the game. My first GMC Jam and it's been great. Can't wait to play all the other games.

 

Day 1:

12:38 AM: Drinking tea and it tastes nice. On another note. Had a major problem with collision detection that set me back a bit but managed to fix it. Have started designing the puzzle levels and look set to finish well in time. As long as I stop procrastinating by making a cup of tea. Speaking of tea...

2:38 AM: Finished importing some sound effects and visual effects. Will start proper level design after I fall asleep but as for now, that is the only major thing I need to do. Everything after that would just be polishing my game. A build should be up in not much time once I've designed a few levels.

3:12 AM: Made some minor improvements on the game engine and everything managed to stay stable this time. Just have to fix one bug though. Better done when I wake up later. As for now I resign to my bed. I'll try make a vlog entry in the morning as well.

7:08 PM: Started level editing and the feel of the game is finally coming through. Need to do some narration and subtitles but hopefulls I can get around about 15 levels done by the end of the day to upload the first taste of the game but for now, Liverpool vs Southampton!!! Let's go reds!!!

10:55 PM: Damn Jams are hard for time. But here's a screenshot of me working on the game. Parakeet 2 is just too dope.

 

Day 0:

12:15 AM (BST+2:00): Thought of cool concept and designing it. So far a puzzle platformer 

4:00 AM : Here's the first video of my vlog. Was exhausted so excuse me 

                 

5:18 PM: Been writing the devlog very retroactively. Core gameplay mechanics are basically finished and moving onto getting the plot done and making the first few levels.

High Tops Rampage (Work title was Dino Rampage)

 

DevJournal:

Spoiler

 

------------------------------------------------------------

Day -1(since you know it started so early): Wanted to have more sprite resources drawn up by now (Friday was meant to be draw all day session, the rules do say sprites and such resources can be accumulated ahead of time). I'm thinking an arcade-y Endless Runner with the goal of achieving a High score while

damage eats away at the player's score. Reaching thresholds I've affectionately dubbed "scores gates" would trigger progression (the spawning of new obstacles) until the target score for that level is reached, tally the score and move on to the next level.

 

To start getting terrain to recycle itself as it leaves the screen. Then back to finishing the freakin' run cycle.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Day 1: Run cycle coming along, and I got the looping terrain and a simple hud working just fine.

Established player boundaries, and gravity/jumping physics. I better be careful how often I hit the debug button I get so distracted just jumping around. ^^;

 

Time to teach the game how to spawn enemies and obstacles.

 

Drew a Rex to go with my Tricera. Rudimentary spawner is a go, polishing it up is going to be what most of my time goes into I bet.

Added Pinwheels! :D Easy to do but you'd be surprised how visually pleasing they are.  So now it's officially possible to both gain and lose points.

Now I move on to phase 2 the T-Rexs Not sure how the player should conquer them yet. The plan is to have maybe 5 phases before a level clear.

 

Rexs have AI now. Still no way of scoring off of them though, but that might do it for tonight.

 

Hold the phone I do believe I just achieved parallax scrolling!

 

Okay LAST thing from me tonight I swear! Added a 3 pronged meter, it doesn't do anything yet but, I really want the player to be able to buck with the horns all Rambi the Rhino style the issue being I can't have them plowing thru every single obstacle like he does So, I need to economize that feature. It's late and this isn't thought out but probably going to reward the player with bucking charges whenever they clear a gate.

 

Oh and a note to self: Don't forget to hammer out details like bouncing off heads, and that split second of pause when the player gets hit, and phase 3 is charlie repeat phase 3 is CHARLIE.

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

Day 2: Just like that we have hit stun, and I think I know what to do to score on the Rex phase.

pterodactyls, and Charlie after that.

 

Barring minute adjustments Rex phase is complete moving on to phase 3.

 

Whoo, a chunk of tiny detail work to report. A little attract screen with the controls written on it, blinking character sprites when the player gets hit. Though I might want to tone that down, and players can now pause the game and get a drink (though that last part's not on me).

 

As the time approaches my code's getting sloppy, even by my own standards but hey 72 hours and I'm a solo act this is what Jam's are supposedly all about. Anyway, added some fluff to the intro screen. At this point there can be no doubt it's heavily aping PAC-MAN.

In addition bouncing on stuff is now a thing.

 

Working on Charlie.

 

BUG SQUISHING.  
Mostly to do with pausing and ending the level. Starting to feel the burn out. Playing with a possible in-between phase that combines phases 1 and 2 so 1:Vines, 2:Rex-es, 3:Vines and Rex-es, 4: Charlie. and That will do that will do. Right not the phase is much too random though need to find a simple way to adjust the spawning time and speed of the vines.... or make a second set of vines.....

 

As for pterodactyls I might just have to cut them. I know exactly what I want to do with them too! but there's just not enough time to draw them and program them and test, and as is I fear the the end result might not be all that playable but that's just the burn out speaking. There's still time and I need a break.

 

For the most part the core is fine but the trappings around it are weak which lead to creating the Intro screen but I still need to chisel out some sort of Game Over screen and way to save the score. To that end I might have to add hit points which I was intentionally avoiding to observe the handicap.

 

Made the game loop quick and dirty like but necessary for get a demo up and going. :D

 

Now With Sound!

ROB THE MUSEUM By SilverSteeples and Zedmonkey

 

 

Project info:

 

Team: SilverSteeples (myself) on coding and programming and Zedmonkey (my brother, who does not have an account here)  on art and design.

Current build: Alpha 0.2

DOWNLOADS:

Alpha 0.3 FINAL

Windows standalone

Alpha 0.2

Windows standalone

Alpha 0.1

Windows standalone

Linux downloads coming as soon as I configure my linux machine to build them.

Stage: Active development

 

Project status as of Sunday 22:34 :

 

The project is currently in the active development stage, which began at 11:47 Saturday morning. Work today began at 11:30 and results are seen. The general aesthetic of the game is vastly improved and most main mechanics have been implemented, GUI is mostly complete and currency system is completely implemented, Graphics have been completed for 4 defending towers and NPCs, 3 attacking abilities and NPCs, most base graphics and 4 goal items. Build Alpha 0.2 is live.

 

Dev log

 

Friday 22:50 :

 

Concepting begins, two ideas emerge; one of the form of a turn based tower defense and rouge-lite based around stealing from a museum and protecting the museum from attack and the other a far more simple game about assembling a skeleton from left over bones and fighting another skeleton. Each are designed to have local multiplayer functionality as a possibility and to make optimum use of the theme, handicap, and hype object.

Extremely rough notes are drawn up and can be found below

 

 

Saturday 9:15 :

 

The final concept is determined to be "Rob the Museum", a turn-based game with the main mechanic being switch of objective each round between stealing artifacts and defending them. Some basic plans have been drawn up, which may be uploaded if I remember to.

 

Saturday 11:47-19:17 :

 

Graphics are drawn for the GUI, the theif, one guarding NPC, the building and the title screen. Systems have been implemented on a basic level for currency and a coin toss to determine how the game begins. The dog NPC is partially functional, as is the thief and the building. The GUI is mostly non-functional and GUI setup has a bug where three instances of the "obj_dogIcon" object are created instead of one. This is contained in the following code, if you are able to diagnose the problem please PM me.

//cointoss
if (random(0.9) < 0.45)
    {
        p1robber = true;
    };
else
    {
        p1robber = false;
    };
    
//setup GUI
if (p1robber)
    {
        instance_create(992,96,obj_dogIcon);
    };
else
    {
        instance_create(32,96,obj_dogIcon);
    };


//set iterator and other variables
i = 0;
p1cash = 0;
p2cash = 0;
p1Artifacts = 0;
p2Artifacts = 0;

Build 0.1 is available for download above for Windows and Linux builds will be released soon.

 

 

Title screen (in need of polish and new "play" button)

 

 

In game. Extra obj_dogIcon instances seen on the gray bars at the sides.

 

 

Low quality gif of dog animation

 

Friday 3:00 :

 

Minimum game is almost complete, only requiring a few bug fixes and final content additions. All necessary graphics complete and aesthetics have been largely upgraded. Alpha build 0.2 is currently live,with a few bugs. Help page is under construction and finishing touches are being added. Opponent for single-player matches will begin development after a rest and will be completed before any other features are added.

 

High quality GIF of dog animation

 

 

 

High quality GIF of magpie animation

 

Monday 23:21 :

 

All graphics complete, all required features implemented with minimal bugs, final build for the jam is live. Kiwi the AI is incomplete and inoperable at this point so only multiplayer is possible.

Devlog:

Spoiler

Day 1:

Spoiler

17:50 - Installed GM 1.4 from an old installer I had lying around. Looked at the samples and started learning it. GM 1.4 executable games seem to run fine on Windows 8.1 so far.

18:11 - Oh god, no built in sprite editor. Oh well, I have GMS for that.

18:45 - I'm using Paint to sprite now. GMS can't export GIFs or BMPs...

21:41 - Made a basic danmaku pattern system. VERY basic.

Day 2:

Spoiler

1:32 - Well I did a bunch of stuff. Changed code for custom offsets and moved all the bullets to one object whose sprite can be changed at creation. Also added a moving player and player shots and basic death.

1:37 - This layout is giving me a headache!


11:00 - Awake and starting to work again.

12:54 - Redesigned all the bullets to be smoother, the player and player shots to be double size, and reused an old boss sprite for the boss. Removed the player animation and replaced it with different sprites for left/right movement.

Day 3:

Spoiler

1:13 - Did more stuff. But today (technically yesterday but whatever) was kind of eventful so I didn't get a whole lot done. Also I'm really irritated because I accidentally overlayed a surprisingly complex bullet I was making onto a background BEFORE removing/de-alpha-ing the soft edges and did this for ALL colors... So gotta redo it from scratch.

1:17 - Wait, will anyone even read this? Is there even a point in logging my progress here when the final product is what people see the most of? Guess I should make this more interesting.

So from now on I will try not to use any "a" characters in any of my logs to make things more interesting.
Oh and every "the" will be "teh".
 
1:47 - Most of teh stuff is now more more 16-bit colored. Looks more consistent now!
 
2:55 - Everything is now more possible and less IWBTG-worthy

3:26 - Fixed HUD teh depth issues with stupid tricks (GM 1.4 doesn't support modifying depths).
It is time to sleep...

9:00: 4 5 person on one game is overkill, I doubt I will feel achieving so I'm making my own game while working with them. Not hard feeling Jobo, then again I believe I can put same amount of effort on JJJ game with or without making this game that I'm currently working on, so I don't think it's a big deal.

My first game ever is finished! One-man round of applause!

I genuinely don't know if my level files will be readable on other people's machines. Included in the package are Save 1.save, Save 2.save and Save 3.save.

They have to be...somewhere! Either in the game's folder or it's %appdata% folder. Also there's a level editor explained by the included readme.txt file.

Nevermind, I've tested it and it works. Woo!

JAM DAY 3 :: 21:10 GMT :: 72:10 JAM TIME :: 22:15 WORK TIME

Spoiler

THE GAME IS DONE BUT NOW MY EYES ARE LEAKING OUT OF MY SKULL.

 

I think it's time for a beer. Enjoy.

 

JAM DAY 3 :: 11:35 GMT :: 62:35 JAM TIME :: 12:40 WORK TIME

Spoiler

My game consists of two rooms - one massive exploration level and the final boss room. This morning I have managed to finish tiling the exploration level, and added all of the solid objects and scenery objects needed to make it work decently. I also have a couple of basic "walk left to right" enemies programmed in, and now need to start on actually putting a player character in the game so that I can actually move around and test things! As long as there are no other unforeseen interruptions to my schedule - like the 45 minute trip I just made to pick up a bicycle (don't ask) - I should have something playable and relatively fun by the end of the day!

 

JAM DAY 2 :: 21:30 GMT :: 48:30 JAM TIME :: 10:55 WORK TIME

Spoiler

I'm finally able to show a screenshot of the GAME as an actual GAME. How cool is that. I mean, it's just a not-very-functional title screen, but it's a start.

 

 

I'm calling it a night for now. Tomorrow I should be able to add a solid 10 hours of work to my entry if I need that amount of time! (Whereas yesterday and today I had other engagements).

 

I hope I have something decent to show you by the finishing time

 

'night all.

 

JAM DAY 2 :: 20:45 GMT :: 47:45 JAM TIME :: 10:10 WORK TIME

Spoiler

FINALLY finished loading in all of the sounds and graphics. My project is 100% complete other than the actual code and level design!! (I know, shut up).

 

So my task now is to spend the next hour or two setting up the basic engine for the game, then spend all day tomorrow making sure it's air tight, bug-free and interesting to play for more than two seconds.

 

JAM DAY 2 :: 18:30 GMT :: 45:30 JAM TIME :: 08:10 WORK TIME

Spoiler

Man, loading loads of tiny tiny sprites into GameMaker from PNG files is exhausting and tedious. Maybe I should have lobbied YYG to fix that when I worked there eh? EH?

 

Never mind! I have chosen my sound effects (from my huge library of generic 8 bit sounds created with bfxr ) and scouted some awesome chiptune music. Don't worry, my game will have a mute button if you're not into all that.

 

Now I have to get back to loading in the graphics in a very tedious way. Woohoo!

 

JAM DAY 2 :: 16:45 GMT :: 43:45 JAM TIME :: 06:25 WORK TIME

Spoiler

I've literally finished ALL of the graphics for the game!

 

Now to start on, you know, the actual game *sweats*

 

JAM DAY 2 :: 10:45 GMT :: 37:45 JAM TIME :: 04:40 WORK TIME

Spoiler

Finished most of the enemies and some HUD stuff. I've decided my game is going to be text-free! The nature of the game is such that the best way to play is to just explore by yourself... so beyond the odd prompt to collect certain things there won't be much in the way of help! It'll be interesting to see how players handle that...

 

 

JAM DAY 2 :: 09:30 GMT :: 36:30 JAM TIME :: 03:25 WORK TIME

Spoiler

Last night I pulled an extra half hour of work while sitting in bed and watching House. That's dedication for you. Or something. Probably not.

 

Anyway I drew up a bunch of enemy designs that I hope to create sprites for before lunch time today! I also changed the direction of the game a bit and I think I've got a good idea how everything will work out. I hope so anyway. DAY 2 IS A GO (well day 3 if you count Dadio's lack of respect for conventional jam timing).

 

JAM DAY 1 :: 20:25 BST :: 22:25 JAM TIME :: 02:55 WORK TIME

Spoiler

Rebooted my PC to continue the jam at around 19:00 BST and immediately got to work on finishing the main characters for the game. I now have the Pod family completely finished. Including all movement animations etc etc. The next step is to create the enemies and the scenery! As is usually the case for me in the jam my plan is to get the graphics done as early as possible, code the engine tomorrow, and then use the final day for sound effects, level design and general polish. Is this an ambitious project? I don't know. But I like where it's going so far.

 

JAM DAY 1 :: 13:35 BST :: 15:35 JAM TIME :: 01:30 WORK TIME

Spoiler

I've created my own 5x5 pixel font for the game and started on the first character! I've also decided on the screen size and some layout-based stuff. I have to go out in a minute - I haven't had much chance to really give the jam my full attention on this first day... but I'll stay up ALL NIGHT if I have to!!

 

JAM DAY 1 :: 10:30 BST :: 12:30 JAM TIME :: 00:30 WORK TIME

Spoiler

Came up with my idea and drew some sketches as well as creating a logo. Super hyped for this jam! It is the 20th one after all, that's a pretty special landmark. It'll be the 14th time I've entered an official main series jam, so I want to make sure my entry is something to remember

Spoiler

<10-23-15 19:00(ish) EST>: Have a couple prehistoric creatures drawn up not much else.

 

<10-24-15 7:11 EST>: Came up with a couple of ideas while at work. Have to try to flesh them out and see if I have the programming knowledge to complete them.

 

<10-24-15 8:52 EST>: Have a couple more sprites made up and I have narrowed down the game design to two options.

 

<10-24-15 10:37 EST>: It's going to be a clicker.... Whoo?

 

<10-24-15 11:29 EST>: I have no idea how to make a clicker game... I need to go to bed. Estimated chances of actually getting this game done by the end of the Jam: 50%

 

<10-24-15 21:20 EST>: I think I have the basics built. The game works but looks like trash and has nothing too it except clicking... Time to go to work. Game work will resume at approximately 0700 hours EST. Chance of game being done before Jam is over is about 40% at this point.

 

<10-25-15 8:27 EST>: I think I have the game functioning. Hopefully it will be fully functional for the end of the jam.... Chance of completing before Jam is over: 60%

 

<10-25-15 10:38 EST>: Well damn almost got it all done. It 'works'.... well sorta.... I'm so sorry guys...

- Can you get out?

You are stuck in a cave! You need to find a way out. Be carefull as spikes and dino,s will try to make you stay down there.

If you fail, hit a spike or get eaten you will start from the start of the level exept you have no clothes on.

DevLog #1

Today i added the core gameplay. you can pickup bones, go the the next level when all the bones are gone and you can jump on mushrooms. when you hit spikes you fail.

DevLog #2

Raptors are added, they are running peacefully around waiting for you to jump in to their mounth. Now you loose your clothes when you are failing. the level is also restarted. You can now unlock levels and the levels you unlock will be automaticly saved.Game will now check if you have all bones on a level before you can leave to another level. Added particles(blood splat).

[Nocturnal_knight]

After doing the GM 48 wasn't sure if I would participate but after a lot of ideas floating around the past 48 hours I have an idea.  Not sure if it will be complete but we will see.

 

So after 48 hours (some of that was very little sleep) here's my game.

 

Solar's Pet Sandbox

 

I saw a lot of people going for the dinosaur, caveman theme so I thought id try something more prehistoric.

 

Its a game where the sun is your pet and you have to create planets (simple planets as ran out of time) to keep the sun happy.

 

Dropbox standalone download link

 

 

 

Things I didn't have time to do:

Failure and victory states.

Add some kind of step to create certain blocks.

SFX and music, not really spent enough time learning these to skills yet so other than a very large background sound that I found, but so large I left it out.

 

I hope you enjoy and Thank you.

 

edit: found a couple of bugs with resource cost being higher than amount you actually see on the tooltip and too late to repair it, just wanted to make those who play my game aware.

2Player PvP battle to see who is the best Dragon Tamer by destroying the other Caveman with exploding Bananas! 

Beware of the hidden Dragon Boss!

Your pet dragon is helpful, but not invincible. 

 

Featuring destructible random generated terrain levels.

 

 

 

 

 

Dev. Log:

Worked whole of Saturday and Sunday until 4pm, so basically 1.6days.

Features I could not get to do:

1. Single Player against PC, currently you need to player turn by turn on same mouse with another player, like original qbasic gorillas it is local co-op

2. More polish for environment, grass, falling rocks, water, etc.

3. Random events

4. More pet uses

5. More art polish (well I'm a programmer)

6. Improve performance of deforming of terrain.

 

 

Hope you enjoy this, please let me know what you think? I use to play the original QBASIC Gorillas a lot with my brother, 

this is why I remade it, since it was one of the first games which inspired me to become a games developer...

happy memories.
