Hello! A friend and I made Wanderfish - a puzzle game about migrating fish to another pond. Please check it out and leave some feedback: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1673338
Also feel free to leave your game in the comments below
In my day job I’m a software engineer and I picked up making games around a year ago. I’m envisioning a pixel art game in a 1-bit artstyle (except for when the theme has something to do with color :D). If you’re interested you can reach out on Discord: Cyklan#0001
I for one want to try a new engine for the jam! My previous games have all been made with MonoGame, but at my job I usually only write TypeScript, so I will check out Excalibur, an engine written in TypeScript that renders to the HTML5 canvas.
Thanks for the video!
I’m just curious - When you were rating the game in the “Innovation” category, you said “I’ve never seen a game like it”, yet you only gave three stars. What was the reason for that?
Now to be clear, I don’t want to be ungrateful. Three stars is more that one star, but the wording confused me a bit. If you could elaborate on that it would be great.
Also, thanks to the video I learned a few things that could be improved on the game. Thanks so much!
It would be great if you could check out our game, System Irrelevant. It’s a game about your dream job, sorting documents while being distracted by coworkers over the phone.
The game is fully voiced, so playing with audio is encouraged.
There was a time not too far in the past where I used light theme for everything (except Visual Studio. That’s blasphemy). Discord was light, VSCode was light, Eclipse was light, IntelliJ, Windows, you name it.
But I’ve switched back to dark themes and opted vor dark-ish themes for my IDEs.
You don’t really convert other images to png, but rather any file type like e.g. .exe, .xlsx, or basically just any file.
It’s not really meant to be used at all, as the functionality is basically useless.
You can theoretically convert jpgs and gifs to png, but it will directly read the bytes. There won’t be an actual conversion.
My friend and I made a game called System irrelevant. It’s about sorting documents into 3 (4 if you count the trash as an organizer) different organizers. Make sure you don’t get fired :D
When we started we didn’t really like the feel of any of the C# game engines (Unity, Godot, Stride) so we thought “just heck it” and picked MonoGame. It’s definitely a bit more of a challenge, as except for drawing stuff and playing audio you have to do everything from scratch, but in the end we know where exactly to look when something breaks.
Not gonna lie, I don’t really get what’s happening in the game. It’s all very cluttered and I don’t really know what I’m actually doing as the tutorial seems to be broken?
I mean yeah, it’s chaotic but in the worst way possible. Also I couldn’t completely turn down the music, even though the slider was all the way down.
I had the main story line written out by tuesday with most of the dialogue done by wednesday. Then I had a friend come over to record betty, sent a message to the guy who made the music that he could record vlad, recruited another friend to do two of the misc. voice lines, Noctus Rex spoke Mike and I did all the other voices. All in all, writing dialogue and recording it all took about 5-8 hours
We don’t have a linux build, but if you want to go through the hassle of building it yourself, the source code is available on github. You should be able to build it with .net core 3.1. Just make sure to load all the nuget packages
