Not a bad suggestion. I'll add that to the backlog.

Holy hell, I haven't laughed at a laugh track in years. This truly was a most impressive little game. Way to go Mattias!

Oh no. Good to know. Unfortunately, we do not have the means to rectify this situation due to our current financial situation. We've had to cancel our Construct3 subscription (What the game was developed with) and do not have the ability to provide any further updates or re-export the game.

Thank you for letting us know. We would love to fix this and if the situation changes, we'll see what can be done.

I played this with my son and he loved it. thank you for putting this together. it is absolutely brilliant.

Thanks for sharing. You've got a new yt sub. :)

Found out some things.

You can create a new mesh, and parent it with automatic weights to the armature, or you can parent with no weights and then assign the vertices of the new mesh to the appropriate bones in the armature. You could also add new bones to the armature if needed for the new mesh.

PS1 texture size was limited to 256x256, and 128x128 was the most common texture size.

PS1 games usually segment the arm mesh into 2 pieces (upper and lower arm) for easier animating, same with the legs.

Thanks for the great pack, we're planning to use it as the starting point to model the characters for a new project we are starting development on. 

Really cool stuff. we picked these up to learn from and were wondering if you could share some tips on how to approach adding clothing/attachments/weapons and hair.

Any tutorials or courses that would be recommended to check out for building more in this style?

That was quite the unexpected twist. I loved the game. All of it. Great job!

Cool! I played for a few levels. I got stuck on the one with the long horizontal jump across the spikes.

very interesting concept here

Glad to hear you enjoyed the game. A speedrun would be interesting to see.

We have a facebook page, and twitter account. We have a discord, but there are only 3 people on the server.

Regarding the "Games must be original for Open Jam, they can't be entries submitted to other game jams or forks of other games." rule, we would like to know if it is against the rules to submit our entry made for this jam into another jam *after* submission to this jam.

Would submitting a game made for this jam to additional jams after submitting to this jam disqualify our entry?

Great!

We are considering rolling our own solution in C using SDL 2 for cross-platform graphics, audio, and input.

We would release the source of the game under the MIT open source license terms, and make it available on github.

Does this qualify for the jam's terms?

Yes, we still have this on our schedule. We have had many unrelated difficulties which have put our developments on hold for the time being. When we are back up and running, Gelda will be at the top of the list of projects to resume.

You may send us an email at contact@ramblingindie.games

Oh wow!!! We are honored!

Thank you :)

Very cool indeed.

Reminds me of tempest a bit.

The colors should probably change as your speed increases to denote you've made progress.

Could have collectables to grab.

The music is a bit repetitive and could do with an alternate section perhaps.

Overall, nicely done.

You will find a fox that tells you what you have to do.

Thank you! Were you playing with a gamepad or the keyboard? The gamepad controls are very much broken and are being rewritten for our next update. So glad you enjoyed the game. There will be more levels in the near future.

Thanks for playing.
There will be many changes in the full retail edition of the game that we are working on.
There will be a level select system, but crawling doesn't really fit the theme too well here. It's supposed to be somewhat challenging and getting stuck on an obstacle and getting caught by the predators is part of that challenge. It's a bit of a throwback to games of old where without warning you end up dying from a misstep or some enemy comes out from nowhere. Granted most games these days are made to be played at a breakneck speed with reckless abandon, Gelda was not made to be played that way. 

We are planning to zoom the view out a bit to give players more to see.

We are happy that you liked playing the game. Replaying levels is something that is being considered as we expand the game world, it's mechanics, and flesh things out further. Thanks for playing! :)

Thanks a million for the kind words!

Did you play the original release or the updated release?

The update has a lot of bugfixes and the controls were adjusted to be more playable from the feedback we've received from the community.

We are so glad you enjoyed the jam edition, and are indeed going to be extending the game. 

Thanks for playing! We're glad you enjoyed the game!

Please play the updated version, you will like it much more.

Also... the textboxes in the game that popup when you're playing contain vital information.

To answer your questions you asked during the play:

All graphics were created by Rachel Marks, and all Music and game programming was done by Richard Marks.

There is one more level in the jam edition to get through, and there are 3 sketchbook pages to unlock by collecting all the sketches in the levels.

Thanks for playing. We really hope that you like the update.
