Looks like I'll be pulling a sick day tomorrow, as my game is tidy enough but entirely content free.

Thanks all for the kind words on the music. It was a really tough month, and it makes me feel better than you could possibly know that you guys dig it. Here's one more that will hopefully melt your face with joy. I HOPE YOU HAVE FACE INSURANCE

So when the due date is midnight of the 31st - is that more like 11:59 PM on 7/31, or 12:01 AM of 7/31? (Give or take a few hours.) Found out that my nights are pretty much booked until the 1st, so I want to make the most of the time I have left.

Your stuff is good but you'd have an INSTANT threefold increase in quality if you pumped up the drums a bit and ditched the vast majority of the reverb - especially on the bass and drums. edit: actually, giving it another listen it's mostly the snare drum that needs pumping up on the drums - I can't hear it at all.

Shalinor posted:It's midnight wherever you are. I then wake up on the 1st at some point, stare hatefully at my monitor, and possibly don't even read SA for a day / eventually declare the contest closed. I think the confusion comes from the fact that 'midnight' can either refer to the morning of the 31st or the morning of the 1st, which is why I was also confused (technically 12:00am is midnight and 12:00am of the 31st is in 13 hours). From this response though it sounds like the contest ends at the morning of the 1st (wherever you are in the world) which actually gives me tomorrow to polish and submit, rather than submitting in ~13 hours from now.

The temptation to make a hidden animal-based game mode was high  Making assets in 3D is about a bajillion times easier for us than 2D though, can't wait to show off what we've got.

Was gonna' say something along the lines of what Polo-Rican said. Good song, questionable mix. I think that's a clav doin' the funky chords in the background, too? Whatever it is, you might wanna' turn up the dry signal for that one a little bit - or lower the wet. Ultigonio fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Jul 30, 2014 |

Well, I fleshed out the wiki page for our submission (Take 2 Treehouse) and added the link to the game. There are undoubtedly problems with it now, but most importantly, in my Toxx, I said by the 31st, I would have a game submitted. Game jams are pretty fun. http://www.labtanner.com/sagamedevchallenge/index.php?title=TakeTwoTreehouse Link for the lazy.

Above the price textbox should be a link that says something like "No thanks, take me to the download." or you can enter $0.00. For that particular game, when I put in 0$ the thing told me "you must pay at least .50"! Just noticed the "No thanks!" link. I love Bob Ross's Puzzle Painter, though. Would pay for a full version with a campaign through all of his episodes, though I'm not entirely sure if that'd actually be legal.  OK I installed the latest java, and ran every .jar file in the Rage of Painting folder. None of them do anything except for the one that produces an error message below:  Actually I just realized that the main .jar file was opening with WinRAR and I shouldn't have extracted everything in the first place, now it's working!

Welp. I had literally two more screens and some sprites to put in my game and my computer is now more or less broken. I'm going to spend the day trying to fix it, but besides restoring to a couple days ago, I've got no idea. I compiled a version of my game just before it started crashing, but the ending is missing, so, that might have to do.

A note for judges and potential players: Chrome just moved their beta to 64 bit which means in the next few weeks the stable standard Chrome will become 64 bit. Currently Unity's web player does not work in Chrome 64 bit. So you may need to use another browser to play Unity web based games.

SystemLogoff posted:Also, does the +10 Patrons effect from "The Jock" not stack with the popular kid's auto fan ability? I only got 7 fans when I used them together. I hacked together the logic pretty quickly. Basically, it calculates patrons first. If the movie is "good" there is a 1/3 chance that a patron becomes a fan. Then it calculates money bonuses based on these totals. So basically what the popular kid does is more "+1 guaranteed patron, +2 fans." Fans always come to your movies, patrons don't, if you're just asking about the number change. Hopefully if I'm not an idiot the total of patrons + fans was greater than 10. Ideally, it'll all be animated with everyone filing out of your room/treehouse/wherever you movie is debuted, so this information can be presented in a more interesting format. I just couldn't imagine tackle such an idea with my at the time relatively limited Unity skills. Macichne Leainig fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Jul 30, 2014 |

Discovered what it was! The associative array I wrote at the beginning of the month works great for most of what I was using it for, but disintegrated rapidly when things are added and removed a lot... The collision was working as intended, it's just... colliding objects with two nonsense IDs together. Good! No! That's fine, game.

Well at the 11th hour I have run into technical difficulties. Mr Podunkian has unfortunately informed me that on his sound card the machine gun effect gobbles up all of the sound channels because OpenAL never claims the sounds have finished. I can't reproduce this here but I've made a debug build of the game with on screen debugging of what's happening. Thanks for a lot of testing Mr Podunkian, but I've run out of ideas. All I can do at this stage in the comp is look to see if it's a localised issue  So if you want to help out. Try this beta http://www.davidwaltersdevelopment.com/games/swat/swat-beta1g.zip Please let me know if you also have the sound cutting out (all the channels stick on AL_PLAYING) if you start spraying with the machine gun. I've been waylaid by this so the squad ordering commands aren't in yet, your dudes will kinda stand around by the van while you complete the mission. Other than that it's basically feature complete, but obviously with a dirty great debug dump over the top of it all. It's not quite ready for judging yet.

itch.io gives you the option to host a in-browser unity game. I'm not sure if there's any size limits but you could give it a shot.

Just a note for people who might be seeing Unity games not respond in browsers, try switching tabs and coming back. I guess it's some kind of Unity bug.

If you're adding and removing a lot in a tick it's probably best to queue changes, and have a flag on an object saying if it's been caught up. Do your stuff on the array, and then commit the changes once everything's done. Keeps you from having to adjust to constantly changing indices and iterators.
