I am not the most discord savy person lol . With that being said , I tried to add your discord and it says the name is wrong.

That is Awesome! The mechanic and the shader is freaking awesome. Well Done!

So, I am more than willing to make music for profit share. So free , but if the game makes money, I would like to have a percentage. 

I produce primarily in Reason, and can produce tracks from score style to hardcore EDM. I prefer to do bit tune, edm, breaks, symphonic scores, and the like. I am a musician and can play string and percussion, but that involves a bit more set up and work. Electronic compositions are a bit easier to jam out.

Anyways, I am super quick to respond. If you ask, I will answer quickly and if its a go, I can jam out tracks for your game.

Thank you for your time,

There was a NES Game Jam that ends this wedsday . I was going to do it, but I owe it to myself to finish my first project. I do prefer the 16 bit gaming era a bit (lol) more than the 8 bit, even though I gaming during NES's hay day.

By Feb 1st, you will be singing "I got 45 projects but one is done" to the tune of "99 problems"

Sorry, I am a dad-joke kind of guy lol

can not seem to get past one or two tubes. Extremely hard, maybe to hard? I am not the best gamer, so I wouldn't trust my opinion. Either way, good job

Hello, Gang!

This will be my first game jam. First of many. 

So this is great, and probably something that many noobs can learn from my mistakes. Let me explain

A little about myself:

I first started learning code in 1998 with the intention and desire to make games. I was fourteen. I spent years learning C++ and programming trash (lol) . Right before I turned eighteen, I found myself doing freelance work for web development, and that stint lasted for twelve years. When I turned thirty, I decided I was done doing slave work for others, and decided I was going to only work for myself. I took a break from code for a while, fell in love and got married, had a couple kids, ... it was awesome.

Two years ago, I downloaded unity and started dinking around. I called a friend and said "lets make a game" and then we come to the here and now.

My friend, Jake, is a gamer , and the game designer for the game. He is a great guy, super father, and a good friend. So when I explain this story, don't think I am talking down on him. Life is just tough, and it is hard for anyone to have a side project, even myself. So the major lessons here:

1) We never really designed the game. Crazy, right? Jake had an idea, we slammed around ideas rough and hard, and I just started programming. After 10k lines of code, certain things that may not have been solidified, are now petrified in the game - to do it differently would just require a lot of lost time.

2) The game idea is huge, and probably not the best idea for a two man team to take on, much less a game I should have taken on without design.

So the unity project was started in March 2019, the blog was started  in May 2019, and the first lines of code were written in June of the same year. The project is a year and a half old, and it is driving me nuts. The code is not the cleanest, but it isn't bad. I have been able to keep at it on and off for quite some time. All of the design has literally been done by myself, shooting from the hip, just slapping it together, not realizing that it might not be the best idea, and doing more code around it, making it harder for myself to contemplate changing it.

I was actually considering just giving up, for about a month now. I started to consider doing another jam, and then I found this. Perfect! Lets just do it. Cut the fat as we get closer to the dead line, play test the crap out of it. The plan is to get it as good as I can before the dead line for the jam, check out any feedback, implement anything in the feedback, and rerelease two weeks after with critique changes. 

So the project blog is http://wild-realms.com

The game is called "wild realms"

I currently do not have a playable prototype up, but I absolutely will submit one for this jam by months end.

Here is to progress and finally finishing something in 2021!!!!
