Hey, it's on the Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/UselessGameDev)

About three full days of work for the shader, and like... 4 hours for the racing game it's really not well made

Yes I'm currently trying to take care of that. Should come within the next month

Unity! Glad you enjoyed the video

Interesting, I'll check it out, thanks!

By screenspace I mean the Moebius shader is applied on the final image, treating the entire screen as a sprite. This way, dark areas are shade/shadows.

Haha thank you! I'll keep making small prototypes for the youtube channel though for the moment. I am actually working on a full size at the moment, so my focus is on getting this one out first before considering other big projects.
I'm glad you liked it though!

Thank you very much :)

It's nice that you stuck around trying to figure out what we failed at explaining (mostly becuase of the lack of time and overly ambitious scope on our part). We're lacking VFX, feedbacks, tutorial explanations, and there's lot of bugs. Lesson learned: scope small!

I will check out your game :)

Thank you very much :) the artists did work very hard and put out some amazing content!

We lacked some time though to fully finish this awfully-large scope game. We're lacking VFX, feedbacks, tutorial explanations, and there's lot of bugs. We actually even planned for it to be a multiplayer game. It makes a lot more sense played in couch coop. But we never had time to actually implement that. 

Lesson learned: scope small!

Thanks! It seems we have a technical issue regarding the blue orb. It's supposed to give "slippery ice" effect, but on some computers it makes the player slide about 1-2 tiles as intended, while on some other computers you slide up to 10 tiles which renders the game unplayable. Maybe a framerate-dependant issue. We'll add it to the (long) list of bugs :)

Thank you for your thorough analysis :) Most of the feedbacks you had were implemented post-jam, I don't know if you saw the new builds linked on the game page, but it's way clearer in terms of gameplay feedbacks :)

Again, very cool :)

By the way we made an improved version of our game with actual sound effects and gameplay feedbacks and lights that... work.

If you want to check it out and go up to 4 spooks 6 you, there are links to a new browser build and a windows build on the game's page :)

Thank you very much we're glad you enjoyed it :)

It's here! Please visit the game page to download it. it is actually an improved version with sound effects and more feedbacks. Enjoy :)

Hiii sorry to hear about your issues, we'll try to be issuing a Windows build shortly but I don't know when exactly

Thank you that means a lot :) although looking at some other submissions this seems like an overstatement ;)

Hi, we're glad you liked it :)

We might upload a downloadable version once the jam is over. Stay tuned

Hi, we're glad to like it :) thanks for the feedback.

We did plan on making a proper tutorial, maybe with a small separate room, but we lacked the time to so it ended up being a fat wall of text :'( and we can't have it disappear on a timer, because it's a bad practice that penalizes slow readers, so it disappears when you fetch the light bulb. But that's also not optimal because since it's a fat wall of text people expect the controls to be deactivated and don't start moving

thank you we're glad you like it :)

The light was actually way better before (see screenshots) but somehow on the VERY LAST BUILD submitted at the VERY LAST SECOND, light goes through walls :(

Nice one!

Thank you for the feedback it's really appreciated :)

Thanks! Link me your game so I can check out your light mechanics plzzzzzz :)

Yyyyeaaah we really lacked the time to implement feedback for the player's actions, actually you find pieces of keys with the clues, and they open doors. There should have been things like "a door has been open" or something to tell you you had made progress, but we just didn't have time. Glad you enjoyed it though :)

Thanks for the feedback!

And indeed I just went straight for a super simple controller and didn't account for speed-strafing. then went on with other task and never got time to clean it up. Thanks anyway :)

Thanks! Stay tuned for an improved version maybe :)

Thanks :) Most of us actually work at the same studio so it was a cool team building experience :)

Team of five and a lot of stress I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But really we left behind many things and the game is now lacking a lot of important stuff (like... sounds... and visual feedbacks on your actions...) so we're really proud on the result narrative/graphics wise but we could have done with an extra day ;)

404 page not found :(

Thanks for the feedback! We're still recuperating from this weekend's effort actually ;)

Hi, thanks for this thorough feedback, we're glad you enjoyed the ambience of the game as it is truly the main focus we had over the weekend :)

Thank you :)

We're not native English-speaking either so maybe the English of the game is bad too ;)

And yeah there's a recent surge of top-down view in games like Hotline Miami and such, and we want to give this towering, high FOV feeling, and letting you see what the light hits or not, so we went for it

Yeah I think people will understand it's a bug and just not use it.

What I mean is:

- Right now sheeps give you 1pt.
- Let's say you make them give you... 3pts
- Now at any second in the game I have the choice to either press SPACE to end the game right now and cash out on my high time score, but with not many sheeps, ooooor let the game running a few more seconds which lowers my score but I could use that time to win more sheeps, thus a better score. Since sheeps are worth three points they're "worth 3 seconds" and the game is now a compromise between time score and sheep score and to balance those I have to make the decision to stop the game early or not

Merci ! A bientôt pour un build avec les lumières qui remarchent mieux ;)

Hi, thank you for taking the time to write a thorough review :)
We did indeed lack the time to implement proper feedback (mostly, sound feedback). We planned to have signs that lamp sockets were empty/broken/about-to-break, as well as properly showing how the switchboard was the way of reparing broken sockets. Also signaling when a door has been open would have been great but we ran out of time sooo fast T_T

We may update the game with sound effects and more feedbacks once the jam is over though :)
