the theme is COOKING! there may seem like limitations to that theme, but i want you to bend those limitations like a stick of warm playdough. try to make a really unique game!
remember! this is supposed to be laid back and fun! don't stress out too much about errors! you have a whole week to make as many tiny games, large games, and even some games that jump on rocks.
have fun!
-
starts in like a half hour, guys!!
-
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND
START
-
I'm starting on something... I got an idea...
-
starting
i don't want to be creative so i'm doing a cooking game
-
if anybody wants to make a sweet music track you can get a sneak preview of my game and a credit and all that.
-
cool stuff, yo. i'm currently working on a point-and-click game for this~
-
I have got something, and it looks like something that could only be done within a week with the help of something I wanted to teach myself within a week.
I didn't think I could come up with anything I would want to make, I am glad to be wrong about that. Gotta start on this tonight so I got time to have some fun with it.
-
Wow I fuckin worked on this game all day... it's pretty good I think. It's small and probably not too much fun, but bwiz I'm glad you did these, I haven't made any games in such a long time this was just what I needed. I'll probably finish it up tomorrow, but hopefully by tomorrow night I'll have my entry in. I don't wanna work on it too long or I'll end up tweaking it forever and breaking it. I'll provide the source if anyone wants it, it's XNA 4.0.

has the person who planned to make cannibal sim date confirmed to joingin this?
-
I was busy today but I'll be finishing up my entry soon...
-
has the person who planned to make cannibal sim date confirmed to joingin this?
that was me, and i'm not sure if i have the stomach to make a cannibalism game. not to say it couldn't potentially be a delicious topic for a game, but i couldn't really think of a way to pull that off even semi-tastefully.
-
What if you had a glass of Chianti to get your tongue loose?
-
i wanted to make something last jam but... I couldn't slam with the rest but maybe I can pull this off?

a couple characters from said jam... it'll be a little adventure game. you play as the carrot hippie. the donut slug is the land lord and he's about to kick you out of your pad because he aint chilled enough and you owe him rent($400) the point of the game is to enter a cooking contest to win $400 and pay him back... and win the game?
there will be some weird characters, I haven't even sprited the taco-shelled turtle I sketched at work
-
swordofkings128: that looks pretty rad! but... if the characters are food, and you are entering a cooking contest... isn't that cannibalism? sounds like hundley's not gonna be the one making a cannibalism game!
also here is a screenshot of the point-and-click game i'm working on~

IFF I can finish it before the end date... you'll see. I don't want to spoil much but I want to program a dynamic food system(DFS) where any object found in game can be put in food to make a food. sum music in the game(freshly rendered):

it's for the inside of a bank, but... you'll see.
and gbro that's a snazzy lookin game, nice sonic fanart there ;D
-
Here's a preview release of my game: http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/caveman/download/9690/ (http://gamejolt.com/freeware/games/caveman/download/9690/)
(https://legacy.gamingw.net/etc/i.imgur.com/hGGXx.png)
I'm going to make a topic eventually but I might work on this some more before the deadline... but if anyone wants to play it here you go, let me know what you think. It's made with XNA4.0 and built against .NET4.0 so if you need any help getting it running let me know, I have no idea if it will even be playable.
-
after being incredibly busy, i started on something resembling a dungeon crawler today. your entries look awesome, by the way!
-
I don't think I could finish it in time, it's already half the week and i'm like still building the core mechanics. anyway since everyone's posting screenies:

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20855857/screen_wip.PNG)
lol still haven't finished all the main character sprites, still a WIP...
so yeah still far from done but I have 2.5 background graphics finished, I only plan on having about 10 "rooms" in the game so hopefully... I can get er done.
more musioc:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20855857/Music6.ogg (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20855857/Music6.ogg)
so yeah thinking about staying up until 5 and getting some serious shit done
-
decided to make a game anyway. twine again. it's only tangentially related to the topic, but close enough that i'm not worried about it.
and yes, it involves cannibalism. so everyone can start getting really excited again.
-
I already posted a link but I'm done, i made a topic http://www.saltw.net/index.php?topic=83401
-
yaaaay hundley :D i'm looking forward to another twine adventure from you~
also, i'm progressing on my game way slower than i should be... hopefully i'll get it done soon, though :o
-
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20855857/prog1.PNG)
just chekin in. got a lot of functionality done yesterday and today, programmed a dynamic roach system, finished a dynamic title screen, got some sound effects made, MAYBE I'll finish a game for a change
still needs work but what you see here is workin' like a charm baby
-
im very excited to play that.
-
i won't be around over the weekend, so the contest is officially extended by two days!! it goes until monday now.
-
im very excited to play that.
thanks!

almost finished with the first minigame, nearly bug free but it still has some kinks to work out. only two more to go, and almost all my backgrounds are finished. need to work on character sprites tomorrow...
man I'm kind of glad that this was extended, that means I'll definetly have time to program ambient butterflies/bowling pins into the game(the screen with the building should have that by the end of the contest)
and holy shit what was i thinking-

i really, really love your style swordofkings
so much looking forward to seein this in action
-
ok so i actually made a game for this. i'm late, since the deadline for this was half an hour ago, but seeing as how there's been a notable lack of entries for this, i figure it doesn't really matter. i spent all day finishing this just to get it off my plate.
it's bullshit twine again, so just click the link and enjoy, no downloading. plays in your browser!!! i am so accommodating!!!!
Those summer fields (http://justin.tomatoland.org/VD/Those_Summer_Fields.html)
i took the theme and turned it into cannibalism, which i then turned into the donner party. also it's CREATIVE NONFICTION, which adds an extra layer of BULLSHIT PRETENSION to what is otherwise an already nuisance story.
-
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I had to work all weekend and barely got anything done so... my games not finished yet sadface
but I'm close. All my background graphics but two are done, I've got almost all my character sprites done, and the soundtrack is finished... just have to code it all and make sure it's working properly. note to self- only make games with mouse interfaces in ags from now on. sorry I couldn't have this done by today guys(especially you denzquix[thanks ][/thanks], what a disappointment!). but this is coming out soon, i swear. then I'll play everyone elses entries!
-
im convinced that if we have continuous game jams i will eventually partake
also i like twine.coolgame hundley. eat those humans

good clausework
it looks like he's worked REALLY hard on it, so i might as well give him some time to put their game into the jam. i know you've all worked REALLY hard on your games, too. i would hate to see all the work go to waste.
-
awww man, thanks you guys! almost allllll of my graphics are done, soundtracks done and even uploaded to bandcamp, sound effects are almost done, but what's really holding me up is programming. but not so much as the game is almost finished a whole. here's some shit I'm working on now for the final minigame:

thanks so much though for all the kind words! i don't know what i'll do, but i want to do something special for all you cool dudes.

too cool for school eh...this was good! even if you had a distaste on the dramatic parts, i think it's a good achievement if you can calm me (you? who? mysterious way of english) down and make me become enthuastic/interested to see what happens in the story (like the written part of the game BECOMES the focus naturally). idk it's like instead of having this inner critic having a blast on everything you see, you instead become absorbed into the game/like you let your imagination run free/imagine how it must feel to be there or the guy or figure out his story etc. i was genuively moved but not in the sense of screaming drama and getting caught in the grandeour events/lesson of the game (i didn't even necessarily agree with the theme/it's take on life) but it made me thoughtful/made me think of it or things a lot. i liked that feeling. it could borderline on dramatic/predeterminism/familiar story taking place but thankfully it's whole lot better than that, i think that was a suspicion i had at the beginning.
yeah i guess i mean that it IS well written even if it's sort of a familiar theme but you made it alive/genuively lifelike groan how do you say this? i would imagine that thoughts like that would happen in your head at that place/moment. I liked that the tone changed slightly but wholly depending on what choice you did, kinda making you favoure one narrative over another (which is interesting, mumble mumble...)
It's like an genuively interesting exploration on how to take a fall or finding a narrative/inner story in situation or something. idk i became interested in this vehicle, this form of storytelling and i did lots of playing/threw ideas in my head, i have an idea... but making something like that would require a lot of "groundwork" so to speak. i liked another part at the end of the game relating to choices but i can't say it here without major spoilers. idk i also liked the space you created with just WORDS alone, like physical places. i guess i don't read much literature so maybe you can shit on my opinion but there was nothing that screamed on me ugh like hugely descriptive or forcing the envinroment to serve the narrative strictly or something. fuck dissecting words is hard!!!!!!!!
i just liked a lot of small things in it. i liked the story. i liked the...construction of reality, the space given to picturing/imagination, the things that were not said. man i wish i was better at this, i can't bring myself to make a really good summary/bottom-line of this but i'm not doing this out of "service" or whatever. i wish i could like make this sort of game/narrative work with eg doing my daily life but i realize it must be hard to write this stuff.
HOW DO WRITERS TOLERATE IT, ITS JUST BARE WORDS GRINDING AGAINST YOUR VERY NAKED WORLD/NARRATIVE/LIFE jesus. aaaa im getting inspired/excited again, my mind is...like i can feel phyusically where the weight in my mind is. fucking damn not now. musician desperately looks where ha can insert ANY kind of familiar chord progression or jazzy chord in it, alas the wind howls......i need to check that site!!!! got me interested groaannnn. aaaaaa.
EDIT i actually really liked the game! damn... i feel more about it as more time passes/like i like how... i like the strong points okay i can't explain it further. fuhrer. gulp... i won't gloat anymore...
--
also sok, that looks ridicilously good. i love the hippie carrot/liek this sort of strange mishmash of clearly-sierra/adventure game sprites but somehow swimming/fusionign with other game genres. this sort of cartoony/viewtiful joe (aaa i really hate to bring comparisons these days in general) meet day of the tentacle but i don't get like a STIFF FEELING of the game, again you get this sort of flashback/image of promises within those esthetics or screens. i hope you can finish it! i like how you selfisshly kinda pioneer any kind of game (like you get this feeling that holy shit this guy might like old AGS games but he's fucking throwing that vague style on any kind of game or narrative or anything. it looks so fucking good holy shit.) this your own world of how life/esthetics is portrayed than HERE'S MY COOL STYLE. just this raw explosion on nerves!! haha i exaggarate but it's hard to explain, it's bit like how i would compare ragnar's stuff to venetian snares but he could just do that style/take/his own world on any kind of music because there's no social other to please or to scream LOOK AT MY STYLE. LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS. BECOME IMPRESSED.
man i'm going overboard... bonzi throws himself over the boat fence & vomits slowly a 90's 3d vomit in a 90's gif animation.
EDIT please forgive me for comparisons. burn all comparisons in hell. i deserve no better *to everyones astonishment bonzi threws himself into the raging flames*
-
bonzi_buddy.... i love you so very dearly...
-
(i didn't even necessarily agree with the theme/it's take on life)
you know, i don't know if i do either. i literally just took my reading of the guy's poem and tried to figure out what was going through his head at the very end*, with pretty much everything outside of the cruddy dialogue pulled from factual information i gathered from this site (http://www.utahcrossroads.org/DonnerParty/index.html)(and even some of the dialogue was factual[see: ][/see:]). idk if it's complete bullshit that i can kinda pretend to be impartial about something as weighty as the point of it though????? i mean i DID write the goddamn thing, i should have that level of basic literary self-control right??
RIGHT??!?!
RIGHT???!?!??!?!
*which, ironically, was cut somewhat short because i was trying to meet the deadline and got insanely hungry because i decided i wasn't going to eat until i finished. thought it'd help me RELATE to the woes of a man starving to death but it just made the ending shitty.
-
bonzi buddy ol pal can you ghostwrite my autobiography.its called "one flew over saltw"
so whats the next gamejam about......can we start the voting yet. that's all i do
-
yeah sure i want you guys to give the topics though. that would be fun.
http://www.saltw.net/index.php?topic=83414.0 (http://www.saltw.net/index.php?topic=83414.0)
this is the topic wow
-
far too late but i liked hundley's twine game too, trying to pull yourself together in front of crowd of potential future cannibals was good but what "made it" for me was the fact that all that stuff was just left unstated in the game itself, making all the interactions more ambiguous.
i am glad these jams are still going~~
-
i'm still making the game i started for this jam WHOOPS i guess i like it more than i thought i would! so imma continue to work on it. i'm still up for participating in upcoming jams too, though
-
fuck me my laptop's charger wire stoppped working and heats up so i couldn't use it. now on antiquated family pc, could'nt ertrieve my files and my game. sigh.
