Just sent you a message :)

Hi! I'm definitely interested! Tiny Tome is super cool :)

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like it

Affinity currently has a 6-month free trial going on. It's a bit of a learning curve if you haven't used a layout pr graphic design software before, but there are a bunch of online and in-program tutorials to help you.

I used Scribus starting out, which gets the job done but has very basic features and an honestly terrible UI, but is completely free.

Fantastic little game! I really enjoyed the feel and gameplay!

What I liked:

• The art, sound and UI come together to deliver a wonderful vibe. It's cute, it's a cat in an apron making cakes, there's a cute little soundtrack, awesome
• The conveyor belts are intuitive and fun to plan around
• The bounce arcs are very satisfying
  
• The enemies (Schrodinger's Cats?) are predictable enough to outfox, but unpredictable enough to keep you on your toes and keep the gameplay interesting

What I think could be improved:

• The player character keeps getting stuck on the edges of the platforms
• A sound cue on gathering a cake ingredient would be sweet
• Let me jump! The jump is automatic off the edge of the platform, but I'd prefer a manual jump (up button when not on a ladder). It would let me strategically fall off the platforms and try to leap over the enemies instead of just trying to out speedwalk them
• Longer i-frames please. I found myself repeatedly getting hit by the same enemy without much I could do about it. I would even take a lower max HP if there were more i-frames after each hit.

Hey, thanks! :)

Here's a recent solo session of Detour I did, using mostly the roll tables included. I think it turned out pretty well!

Thank-you! The body text is Constantia, and the header text is OptimusPrinceps.

Hey, thanks so much! I've been on a Dark Souls kick recently and I do sometimes find myself just walking around and appreciating the backgrounds and other art, but I never thought of that when writing this game lol. Glad you had a good time, and thanks for the comment!

Wow, that's some very high praise! Thank-you so much, I'm glad you like it

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank-you so much! It makes my day when I hear someone enjoyed playing one of my games

Thanks for the reply, and that's good to confirm. I'm excited to share what I've been working on!

Hi! So I mustered up some queer wrath (I'm not a very wrathful person but i tried) and I have a game concept for this jam. But I'm wondering about what content is allowed. The main page says "no queerphobia, obviously", and my concept is not queerphobic, but it is about having to deal with (and ideally overcome) queerphobia. The game casts it as obviously bad and does not espouse it, but queerphobia does come up as a conflict. Can I submit this concept/game to the jam? (Labeled with content warnings, of course.)

This might be a stupid question, I just figure it's better asked than not.

Easy to learn, evocative, and fun as heck. My players really enjoyed being teribble geese.

A fun little game! I played this last weekend and it was a great way to spend a chill afternoon with some thematic and game-ified writing prompts. My little dung guy (Dug) made it to the top on his second attempt.

Awesome little game! It reminds of me of my younger days playing those those little flash games like on Miniclip. Music is good, shipbuilding is great, and I love the art in this.

It took a while but I made a pretty big ship (which promptly got wrecked as I tried to brave the maximum depth lol). Here she is, Under the C

Sorry, didn't realize I needed to approve the bundle (this is the first jam I've been in where it's been a thing). Should be all ship-shape now.

Happy to help! :)

I might get finished a companion piece to my original submission. Are we able to submit multiple things to the jam, or just one?

Thanks! :)

Thank-you so much!

I'll get onto Discord and get in touch with you!

Hey there! I live pretty far away from Portland (and the US for that matter) but I'm interested in working on games and I'd like to collaborate (online) on designing, writing or even just playtesting games with other creators. Please drop a reply or send me a PM if you'd like to work on something together.
