This game is so engrossing and calming. The touches with the music kept the progress through so well and the sort of paper cut art style is so perfect in its simplicity and works well with the games larger themes.
Did you end up open sourcing this? I'd like to see how you did some of the transitions to get the animations in place.
Thank you for the very kind comments. I am so pleased you enjoyed it!
Can I ask if you found Norm's Face in the end? I'm trying to determine whether I need to create more leading narrative.
I did not set up a repository, since Acerola changed that requirement. But I would be more than happy to do that.
You should know that this is my first time programming a game. So my code WILL BE hard to look at.🤣
By open sourcing I just mean posting it on github and making it available publicly.
If you've never used it before git can be intimidating. The documentation on it is horrid so pretty much everyone I know has learned it by necessity, not by choice. That said, it is a great tool for version control on even small or medium teams (and is damn near essential for larger team sizes or more complex projects).
Okay. I set up a git for this at https://github.com/rkillen/normsface.git
I haven't done that before, but it's public. I haven't set up specific licensing, because I'm trying to figure out how to open source the code but keep copyright on the art and music. So, no explicit permissions at this point, but feel free to copy any of the code that you find helpful.
Let me know if you have any questions.
And again, expect to see UGLY.
That's awesome. Thanks. Some of the transitions and animations in your game are great and I want to learn how to do that. I very much appreciate it.
The good news is that regardless of it being public, you still own the copyright to everything in the repo. (Even better, the time stamp on the repo can be used to prove that you created it first if someone does steal it.) No further action on your part is needed from a legal basis.
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I made a ver2.0 of this. I had to post it as a new project, since this one is still being reviewed by Ace. I've swapped out all menus for a coin-toss gameplay mechanic. I think it improves the experience somewhat. In case you're interested - https://rkillen.itch.io/norms-face-20 Cheers!
