This sounds like an excellent reason to spend all day tomorrow adding scripting and sprite support to my engine.
So team Just Gotta Finish My Engine First might be a thing. Might.
(It's probably just going to be team My Engine Barely Works.)

Y'all be crazy.

But a good kind of crazy.

The least chill thing I could think of to use as enemies was nazis.
My spritework is not very good.

Honestly I've seen way worse.

A "Cool Backflip". Also a horrible placeholder enemy character.

Working on this animation was a learning experience. It broke in a lot of ways as I tried to get things to move and rotate in a way that made a remote amount of sense.

Give your little dudes hats, and you've basically got what I did in Jones On Fire. Making the little hands swish as you run around will give your run cycle a remarkable amount of personality. Also, really ham it up with the squash and stretch when you're backflipping and such - you can go waaay further than you've got it right now, if you're so inclined.

... and volcano dude isn't horrible, he actually looks pretty cool!

On the side, we're trying to understand Unity GI, all our games end up looking the same, and I'm pretty sure it's because we haven't delved into this stuff yet.

Nope, that's kinda just "Unity." Unity's render pipeline produces a pretty singular look if you lean on its lighting at all, and it's just down to "did you bake lighting" or "did you go dynamic/deferred." Changing that requires either hacking the renderpipe to tiny bits, which you CAN do but gets super involved, or throwing out a bunch of its surface shader model by going unlit/low-fi/etc with custom shaders, which is what most do instead.

http://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=2982 is my final submission.
It's pretty chill.

Man, when you get up to Chill Frenzy it gets super hard.

... I don't feel super chill now. The game stole my chill.

For good or ill, dartgame is finished and (sortof) submitted.

There's a download link in the game page if anyone wants to play chill as gently caress darts.

This... actually looks better than basically any dart-minigame in a larger game that I've ever played. Huh.

I know it'd be super onerous, but any chance of taking the archived Gong Show, and splitting it out into a bunch of sections on Twitch, so we can watch each individual game? I don't have time to play them all, and I doubt I'd sit and watch the whole show, but it would be super awesome to play some, look at others, etc.

It finally happened. Someone one-upped HONK. Or at least made only the second entry compelling enough to sit alongside HONK in whatever space HONK occupies.
