This may seem like a silly question given that it's called "Shadowdark Weird Tales Game Jam" but the Submission Guidelines don't actually specify - things should be for Shadowdark?

oh nice! Glad that worked!

Here's the smaller version https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/w1e35akhzlsklm4subxrr/MyOldCampaign_150dpi.pdf?rl... - I converted it using the "ebook" preset in Ghostscript (using the instructions from https://itsfoss.com/compress-pdf-linux/ but Ghostscript is a cross-platform program so one could do the same not on Linux).

eta: actually the redrawn world map on p6 didn't turn out that well :/ it seems to have thought it was quite a small image size so not given it very high resolution, I'll see if I can do anything about that.

Thanks for putting this up! really interesting

I was able to get it down to 38.4 meg in size by reducing it to 150dpi via Ghostscript btw - while the images do go down a little in quality they're still fine I think. I can link you my version and/or explain the process.

hi, do you think you could run the PDFs through an optimiser or similar? 120 meg is kind of a bit too large particularly for phone downloads, and I wouldn't like to see anyone put off

eta: I see there is a 35 meg version too which I missed but just running the pages PDF through https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/online/compress-pdf.html I get a five meg file

(just checking on comments which I entirely forgot to do) fair point - I'm thinking of doing a v2 once I get some feedback from a player who picked this, a bit more of a thematic focus feels like a good idea

Thanks, looks good to me!

Hi there - just to say that the print friendly PDF (which I downloaded just now) seems to have flaw 01 missing.

I did a Markdown version of Tunnel Goons v1.2

I think it's appropriate myself, but just to check, how about MacPaint? Specifically using cloudpaint.com here (I tried to get it to work via emulation but it turned into such a faff that I thought I was losing the point of the jam). While it does have patterns, it's generally very simple, though cutting-edge in 1986.

Into The Odd has a licence/SRD here: http://moto.lostpages.co.uk/

Not sure whether there's a better place to report issues, but the scroll tool hasn't worked in Safari (OS X 10.15.5) for the last couple of versions for me. Holding space does give the grabbing-hand pointer and removes the cross-hatching, but click-dragging does not scroll the map.

Works fine in Firefox.

I would also like to know about this - it's been mentioned.

I'd like to push (politely) for a cross-platform downloadable tool - I am on a Mac and a lot of similar apps are Windows-only.

As a note for anyone considering this, pico8 executables can easily be over the limit, but from my tests exporting to html has always gone under 1.44mb. So do that.

I don't even know how I submitted this game and it's not finished but whatever.
