Unity's 2D Animation tools are pretty fantastic comparing to what I'm used to, which is hand-coding looping frames in XNA.  Go turtle go.

I am more pumped for Excite Turtle than I am for anything else. Here is the result of today's work:  The cards don't look hand-written anymore but they are much more readable. Everything but the message box and cards is still placeholder. Slowly but surely...

Well I am out, to many doctors appointments and to little time to code. I am sad I did not get anything finished. Good luck to all those still in it.

Day 26. Added all important 'shouting at civilians standing peacefully behind barricades' functionality. I've made a plan for what I need to do on the remaining days to land this thing. It's made me feel better as I seem to still have enough time to focus on the remaining large elements of the game that are left, giving myself the very last day to do testing / balancing stuff. It ain't gonna be a masterwork but it'll have a mission complete screen and a 'you're dead' screen with legit ways of making them appear. That counts as a game in my book.

Well, I have absolutely everything mechanically needed to get a game out. Pretty happy with this game dev month. Not because I produced something good but 25 days ago I knew painfully little about programming JRPGs. But now I have a (somewhat simple) JRPG that can actually be played that I can point to and say "I made that!" So yeah, a few days of adding new rooms and content, maybe slapping together some new monsters, and it's smooth sailing until Release O'Clock. Then it's time to get painfully drunk and get back to my other projects. It's all about this guy. The Game Knight.

I'm going to play the games that are up on the Wiki right now, and post my thoughts/bugs/etc. Public Assets by TeamTime: Was fairly fun while it lasted. I played the web version, which doesn't grab my cursor while it's on the window. As a result looking around causes the cursor to leave the screen, and if you click while it's off the window you can't look around, move, or shoot until you click back on it. Download version may be different, I'll try it later. Love the music, the interior section has a very Tron-esque vibe and the music sounds like it was cribbed straight from Daft Punk (although I don't think it was). There is at least one clipping error, I was checking to see if any of the doors opened and I walked right through one and fell out of the world. FYI. I appreciated some of the subtle references to various shows. Rage of Painting by Jo and Ultigonio. Not sure what I was supposed to do, couldn't figure out how to paint. B.O.B r055 painted his picture, and then it ended. Judge 3 gave me a 7/10 for doing nothing, which was admittedly pretty funny. Could use some instructions on how to make the game do its thing. Hmm. Saw the entries on the wiki and thought there would be more than two games up. Ah well. Put more stuff up and I'll play it!

The game grid is live. Go put your game in it whenever you've got a sec. Except for you, NextTime000, you're awesome and I already added yours as the example.

Getting close! Starting to get some real graphics in there, and the game now recognizes when certain recipes are cooked, and in particular ways; for example, battering/breading and then frying a Pixie in the troll fat fryer (cauldron to the left of where you start) is the Fried Pixie Sticks recipe, which will get you bonus viewer interest when completed. The skewers don't behave so well yet so those are left out for now. Still missing a few important mechanics, like something actually happening when you lose, or being able to win at all... But, five days left!  Link to current web build: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13355028/ArmGrabTest2/ArmGrabTest.html The controls are a little bit complicated, but I'm hoping we somehow manage to have enough time to get a tutorial in there. Also, sadly Unity web builds are not able to lock the cursor, which occasionally leads to some annoying bugs. The standalone builds we make at the end shouldn't have that problem. Some screens:

 Bob Ross's Puzzle Painter Web Build playable here The game is pretty much as finished as it is going to get. I am hoping that I will have time tomorrow to finish the 3rd, hardest level in normal mode tomorrow. But I know if I don't get time to do that tomorrow, I probably will not have time to submit my entry before the deadline so here it is just in case.

It is really hard to post any sort of progress on PUNCH FIGHT IV without spoiling things, but we're down to the "cram all of the assets in and add some polish" stage. Have a few seconds of a couple dudes walking down a hallway, which is actually an incredible technical feat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQcT5COwdQw

Jo posted:Thanks for the advice. I fleshed out our page with some more instructions. Hopefully it will be more clear. Okay, now that I know how to play it, I was able to successfully reproduce a painting poorly. Despite having painted something this time, judge three felt I did worse enough to deduct two points off my previous score, despite one and two giving me 10's. It's like watching the Olympics. Is there anyway you can show the chosen color and size of brush being used on screen, without painting? Microsoft paint is a good example of this, you can tell very quickly at a glance what color you have selected and the size of the pixel it will be painting just by looking at your cursor.

We're still putting in the final level and ending, and missing some music and sound effects. What music we have is incredible, really owe it to my friend. Things are heating up! Hint mode is in (get hints on the mechanics of each stage), How to Play screen is in, and the story is set to audio.ApproachingInfinity posted:Getting close!

 The background for the game. We went for a POV style for the player. The TV will be on the table but going to be on a separate layer. (hence why it isn't in this shot.)

I guess I'll dump my reviews into this post until the spreadsheet is up: Public Assets What I liked: The music and visuals were tops.  The cannon was really quite fun to use.What I didn't like: Finding the one tiny prop I missed in all the rooms at the end. The single flat keyboard which didn't get killed when I blew away the monitors. The tiny cube hiding in the dark was also a challenge to find.What confused me: I destroyed all the props on the first level and though, "Huh. Is that it?" before I noticed the door. Bob Ross's Puzzle Painter What I liked: Bob Ross in the background. It was a fun with minimal blocking irritations until the very end.What I didn't like: Theme adherence is... Well, by the letter of the law it meets all the criteria of a public access show. At the end (around five minutes in) I got a combo large enough to slow the game to a crawl and halt. When regular play resumed, my control was lost for long enough for all the time to have drained. What confused me: Nothing. Was pretty straitforward.

I have been testing it in IE since the Unity web player plug in doesn't work in the new 64-bit Chrome dev builds. I just put together a new build (probably final) that has the 3rd level for normal mode and adds a black background to the main menu behind everything else that will hopefully fix the issue you were having. Try it here Jo posted:
That slow down is actually on purpose. It happens when ever you get a score multiplier. I tired a couple of different things to better convey that to the user like bullet time slow down sound effects and slowing down the movie play back, but I wasn't happy with any of them. If I had time to farther develop this, I would continue to test other ways to let the user know that the slow down effect is on purpose and to exaggerate the effects. I have never had the time run out because of the slow down effect the way you described (the clock should slow down to the same rate), but some times it takes more than one click to get it to select another block.

I never had the menu issues with your game (Firefox). One way to make it clear the slowdown is on purpose would be to stop the countdown timer altogether which would also provide an additional bonus to getting a multiplier.
