I chose Pixel Art Characters: Design & Animate a 2D Character. I haven't started it yet so I don't have any feedback on it, but I just wanted to let you know that the courses are also all on Udemy and people leave reviews on them over there so it may be worth taking a look at those if you don't get many responses on here (that's how I decided on which course I wanted).
I have subbed to your YouTube channel. I would love to watch a devlog that talks about the game you made for this jam, and will definitely check it out of you decide to upload it!
Your game did so well, very impressive scores, well done!
This was my 4th jam, but I was only an artist in the other 3 and we never submitted anything because we always ran out of time. This was my first jam where I did some coding as well as art. I started learning Godot in October, had literally never written a single line of code before it so I am a very early beginner. My team mate had messed around in Unreal Engine for a while, but didn't get very far with it so they decided to start learning Godot with me. I am absolutely delighted that not only did we manage to submit something, but it was something that many people seemed to enjoy!
We are planning on continuing working on it and updating it on here (we will upload the updated version separately though, we like the idea of keeping the original version on here so anyone who is curious can see how it started), not because we think it's good enough to be a proper game but because we both enjoyed working on it and we have a good idea of what we want to try to turn it into. We both hope to be devs some day, but we still have a long path of learning before we can even start taking steps towards that goal.
I don't know why this game stressed me out as much as it did. Really fun game, love the art style. I really liked the way the ingredients were served, I don't think that I have seen it done like that in any other game. Great work!
I love the art in this, and the way the upgrades are permanent and meaningful. The music and sound effects work really well with the game as well. Great work!
Fun, hectic game. A little bit difficult to see what my current ammo was, and the burger patty being the same as the bun but darker made it a bit difficult to tell which one it was at a glance, but overall it was fun and I enjoyed it. Great work!
I really like this game. The art is really nice, the gameplay is fantastic and makes you think, and the music makes me panic. Overall I felt like a post-apocalyptic Bonanza Bro. Great work!
This is a very interesting game, and I could see myself playing it for hours. I loved the voice acting, and the storyline of it, and the gameplay was brilliant. It was very satisfying to fill out the paperwork. Great work!
This was incredibly fun! I definitely see myself coming back to this in the future. Do you plan to continue working on it? (Also, nice reference to Seagulls (Stop It Now))
I can't play the game as I keep getting a message that says that the game hasn't been uploaded. I've checked a few times over the last few days and this message has been there the whole time, but other people are obviously playing it as they're leaving reviews below. What am I doing wrong? :o
Hababam is also very funny, and the accompanying YouTube video that explains where its inspiration came from is bizarre and brilliant. It has 18 ratings.
I wish I could recommend more, but the majority of games that I tried that had very few ratings were broken and wouldn't load, or they didn't have anything to download (and they weren't browser games, they were meant to have something to download).
We had an issue where Git corrupted our game the day before the deadline, resulting in us having to go back to a previous version and losing quite a bit of work. Unfortunately, this meant that the game was far less finished than we had hoped it would be, and is the reason there is no sound and the music doesn't loop.
It's strange that the zombies were running at you quickly, they shouldn't be moving fast so we'll have to look into that as that means that there is an issue with the code.
You're not wrong, there weren't any sound effects. We had an issue where Git corrupted our project the day before the deadline so we had to revert to a previous version of the game which ended up with us losing over a days worth of work. That's also why the music didn't loop. We didn't realise these issues until after the deadline so unfortunately we weren't able to fix them in time. We plan on continuing working on this game, and fixing the various sound issues is going to be in the first update we do after the Jim is over. :D
Fixing the music looping and adding sound effects will be something we do as soon as the jam is over. Unfortunately we had a setback due to Github corrupting our project near the end so we had to revert to a previous version which caused us to lose our sound settings.
Lil' Jim is unlocked at 100 kills, the next thing is unlocked at 500 kills, but because we didn't have the time to balance zombie spawning speed or difficulty I'm not sure how possible or boring it would be to get to that amount of kills. We will definitely be re-balancing the whole thing after the jam is over, as well as adding a lot of things that we had designed but didn't get the time to add, as we plan to continue working on it.
Sounds good, I'll definitely check it out again once it has been patched! It may be worth waiting for a few days though as the jam rules are that only game breaking bugs are allowed be fixed, and I'd hate to see your entry get disqualified for fixing something that could wait for a few days.
This game is ducking brilliant. I have never seen a more graceful death animation. I am awful at this game and awful at Angry Birds, maybe I just need to level up my physics based bird game skills. Great work!
Funny game. I thought I could only shoot the cowboys and accidentally shot two of the lovely local ladies who were attempting to buy some good ol' fashioned hanging merch from my booth. Their "blegh" made me cackle.
The goal of the game could be a little bit clearer as I thought that I was supposed to be shooting the other stalls to damage them and I couldn't figure out why my bullets weren't doing anything (other than murdering the aforementioned lovely local ladies), but it's also possible that that is just a me problem.
I love the opening cutscene, the artwork, the voice acting and the music.
I found the controls a bit awkward, especially the way the character drifted and the fact that he only shot in the direction he was facing rather than shooting at the reticle on the screen. I also found that the enemies got stuck a lot and I could easily kill them without them being able to move or hit me.
Overall though, very good game, especially for a short game jam. Great work!
Very nice game! I love the idea that lemonade is illegal, and your lemonade speakeasy's only customers are balding, middle aged men in suits.
Would love to see this fleshed out a bit more, I can see it making a very addictive game. I would also like the customers to start spawning a bit faster as I was waiting for a pretty long amount of time before my first customer appeared on screen. Apart from that though I have no complaints, well done!
