really strong visual style, camera felt a bit too much but i got used to it. great work!

captures that early 90s fps vibe perfectly, love the individual weapons!

was looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint! awesome work!

liked this a lot! love the usage of prerendered sprites.

this is super cool; need to sink my teeth into it more. love strategy games!

it's got a fairly strong visual style, but not much going for it currently. it is a prototype, after all; i wish you luck developing it and will be looking forward to any updates you may provide! curious to see where this goes

this is cool, and i'd like to see it get expanded upon! very rad visual style, we need more kart racers in the world. only major criticism is that acceleration does feel a bit sluggish.

also pretty small, but i like the particle smoke effect a lot

really cool proof of concept!

neat concept, definitely seconding a mouse sensitivity option if you do a patch! good job!

short and sweet, good stuff!

i really dig this game's theme, gameplay definitely needs a bit more depth than just walking right and whacking zombies, though. looking forward to whatever you do with this!

great job for a first ever game! you guys absolutely killed it with the aesthetics. dying in one hit and starting from the beginning makes the difficulty feel artificial, though. otherwise, well done!

i like this game's atmosphere a lot; feels really liminal and almost dream like.  got very lost though; to the point where we couldn't finish. also, the radio tuning feels way too precise. cool stuff though!

pretty ambitious and cool concept. combat can be kinda frustrating since i cant see further ahead, other than that, nice work!

a wise man once said "it's peak..."

whole team did an absolute banger job on this one! my only complaint is that the boss is a bit too hard. literally everything else is stellar.

thank you for playing!

apologies if the game is confusing, i unfortunately didn't get to add a proper tutorial which i think would have benefited a lot. fun fact, i did plan on adding a scan system ala metroid prime but it got cut due to scope creep.

yeah, the frequency system tracks specific landmarks within approximately 500m of the player's current location. higher percentage means you are closer to the landmark in question

the game has a total of three areas from A to C. in each area exists a door to the main tower that will not open until you find and successfully chain all 5 sub towers in an area without running out of time. once done, enter the main door, shoot the big tower, and proceed to the next area

in addition, there are various upgrades scattered about that you'll need to progress, eg: some doors only open when you shoot them with a specific weapon

hope this helps!

edit: oh, yeah; some upgrades are tied to specific areas. if you didn't get any results, try tracking in a different area

i understand, generally your always want to err on the side of caution when doing difficulty so just consider it a nitpick from me, haha

it's okay! could've been a bit more challenging imo

the overall presentation and polish on this is insane! amazing work!

it's a pretty basic game in execution; but i commend you entirely for submitting a multiplayer game to the jam!

my main critique is that the car slows down automatically when turning; you lose a lot of your momentum which makes obtaining a high speed feel really difficult.

i did encounter a bug in singleplayer where if you select a new track after finishing it keeps the lap count from the previous race.

let me start by saying that i loooooove the presentation here so much! the art, music, models, overall aesthetic kick so much ass. that said, the gameplay is very simple; i think adding a rounds system with a few little powerups added would really elevate it! just my two cents though!

thank you for playing!

i will ask, did the frequency system help at all? the intention is to route out a quick way to the sub-towers in each area before starting the terminal. i feel like we didn't put enough emphasis on that being the central mechanic

then again, a lack of proper map and samey geometry can be frustrating; god knows i got lost waaay too many times playtesting.

thank you for playing!

i plan on doing a QOL update post jam; i'll add a brightness slider then, sorry!

i talked with you on discord about it, but i'm curious to hear about balance. do you think the bullets need tweaking at all?
ofc once again thanks for playing!

thanks for playing!

yeah, i get that. we were going to do a proper tutorial but we were cutting it close;  most of the instructions got dumped into the notes tab.

it is a pretty long game! going as fast as we could, we were able to beat it in around 30 minutes start to finish but that time is obviously going to go up exponentially for other people since we pretty much know our way around the game.  we built the game around this loop, rewarding exploration and memorization

if you do play more, please let me know! and if you streamed it, i'd love to see!

thanks for reaching out!

sorry to hear that you weren't able to play, i'm assuming that there was a connection issue?

if so, the only thing i think i could do is add in UPnP support to make the port forwarding process smoother; i was going to add it as a post jam update but any uploads are currently restricted for now until the jam period is over. i'll try to add it in when i can!

if this somehow isn't a networking error, let me know and i'll do my best to fix it

thanks for playing my game!

i was never too worried about the reach this game would get, it's more of a silly experiment to test out multiplayer. i do appreciate the thought that the premise was unique; easily the hardest thing about the project was coming up with a neat concept lol

regard your ouija board question, that was indeed the intended way, although i understand if it doesn't necessarily feel like it flows well in the final gameplay. initially, there would have been more unique monsters your other friends could play as so the communication wouldn't have felt as frustrating (there would have been a mummy character that couldn't see very well but could traverse areas the others couldn't); sadly scope creep left them out of the final cut

also incredibly sorry for any bugs you may have encountered! the actual peer synchronization proved to be a bit tougher than i thought it would have been to implement, which is where most of the bugs i found stemmed from. i was really cutting it close regarding the deadline, so it's not up to my standards of polish. a bit of a shame really, but i'm not losing sleep over it.

i'll be sure to check out your game aswell! i've been rather busy so i haven't had the time to check out the other jam entries

once again, thanks for playing and reaching out! means a lot to me!

yo, sorry for not responding sooner; glad you enjoyed the game!

always love seeing stuff done in pico8, very rad game! kinda reminds me of the card flipping minigame in the johto pokemon games

glad you enjoyed it! thanks for making such a rad cart

love the presentation and lore behind this entry, awesome stuff! if you still plan on developing it, i'd love to see where it goes

heya, i joined this jam as an opportunity to make my first actual game, consider checking it out! this jam was a lot of fun and i'm happy to have participated in it! :)

(Edit 10/14/20: i've encountered a couple bugs upon letting another person test the game; they should be fixed by either tonight or tomorrow)

i had a similar idea regarding card games with the bosses, but i neither have the time nor ideas to fully develop it

i'd say my entry is more action oriented; i'm basing the core gameplay heavily on the sega genesis game bonanza bros. if you're unfamiliar, it's a game where you play as a thief who steals various treasures from various places under a certain amount of time. i've always wanted to see how well the game would scale to a 3d environment. how i've got it planned out is that you start off with a limited amount of ammo that doesn't replenish throughout the run. you can't kill enemies, but you can stun them for a bit, making the collection process ever so easier. at the end of the game, you'll receive a time bonus depending on how much ammo you had left, so there's a strategic element to ammo conservation if you wanna make certain levels easier/get a better time.

i've had plot stuff in the back of my mind, as i'd like to flesh out the game after the jam period, although i'm uncertain if it'll happen.

i like what you're planning with your entry though, would love to see where it goes. as for any sort of recommendations, maybe you could add a stealth mechanic to the game? you could get extra information by eavesdropping, access secret rooms, etc

cheers

looks sick dude, really nice stuff! i'm interested to see how the gameplay'll be

i'm usin this famicase as a theme aswell. i've got a good bit done on my entry, although i'm uncertain if i'll be able to get it out in time, haha. most of the work ive done on my entry has been a learning experience, so i'm still confused on a few things

nonetheless, i'm looking forward to seeing the final product! :)

I've been interested in getting this since I'm usually bad at making my own models from scratch, but would it be any good at making rigged models? (e.g: humanoid models)

I installed Sprytile on a different computer running the same version of Blender on this computer, and it works just fine. Maybe Blender didn't install correctly?

I tried everything you said above, but the tileset still doesn't display right. My settings seem to be the same as yours.  I found a temporary fix where you set the objects viewport shading to rendered. It displays correctly, but the grid is disabled and editing is a bit slow.

I'm not really sure what the problem is. 

Thanks for the help!

Whenever I try to create something using Sprytile, it displays an orange color instead of the tileset I'm using.

However, if I render it, the tileset shows up like normal.

I'm still learning the ins and outs of Blender, so it may just be a problem on how I set it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
