So.... I sent an email about this 12 days ago, but nothing has happened yet despite me getting a reponse the same day saying that it would. My followup emails seems to have been ignored. On the awful jam page, it would be nice if the rules could include some terms for how IP rights for submissions are handled (gamejams tend to do this). Example: "Your game belongs to you. Awful Jams, its organizers and affiliates claim no rights or ownership of your game." (based on the IP rights info from ludum dare, section ownership) http://ludumdare.com/compo/rules/ I basically need something like this in place for me to be able to participate, for reasons I can't talk too much about.

poemdexter posted:I know a few big studios around Dallas don't allow their employees to participate in game jams period. Yeah, I don't want to talk about specifics, but things like that seems common, not just in game studios. Having an IP rights information like that is pretty much standard, and may seem unneccessary to some people, but it will make it a lot easier for some people (like me) to participate.

Thinking about using PICO-8 instead of Octo for this Jam. Anyone using any other fun tech/platforms?

Crayonskies posted:Worst-case scenario, can I submit a half-finished engine with no game in it as a kind of meta-commentary on the nature of jam-games? Not sure how this would be a meta-commentary on gamejams, since it's probably quite unusual to roll your own engine for gamejams, and using WIP engines seems sortof awkward.

I will be using this pico-8 base project: https://github.com/buffis/LittleAwfulJam2016/blob/master/base.p8 (basically just boilerplate setup for a game state machine featuring a title screen, gameover screen, and game loop + some particle effects and scoring) It's extracted from an earlier pico-8 thing i hacked together which is at: https://github.com/buffis/bounce

That said, to set your expectations, I wont spend too much time on this jam, since I'm on parental leave. Will mostly code during late nights and baby naps. Should have a WIP/prototype of whatever the chosen theme is within a few days after the jam starting, and will send you a message then if you want to contribute,

Nazis are hard to sprite, so I changed the enemies to ghosts, which are also pretty un-chill.

Hey, thanks! Making the penguin more sad is definitely something that should be put in there. And yeah, the waves arent too interesting. Trying to tweak it to make it a bit better. Glad you liked it. Voice over is not really doable in pico8, but there should be a SFX there, unless i uploaded a too early version. edit: Penguin tears are now in there!

Quick impressions from the stuff I've played Cryolancer - Looks great, sounds great, plays good! Freezing large ships and dropping them on other ships is a fun gimmick. Hitbox on ship feels a bit too big though. Kesha Was Bird - Awesome Octo graphics, and nice sounds! Some neat effects as well. I actually really liked this game until I got stuck after getting the code. Catfishin' and Chill - Love the easy to hard mode transition. Amazing art. Controls in hard mode feels a bit wonky. Awful Darts - Looks great. Not very fun to play  Lee The Chill Chinchilla - I dunno, gameplay was alright for what it was I guess, but not much game in there. Chateau de Feu - This might be my favorite. Nice puzzles, and a hard but fair boss battle. Zamboni - Good intro. Not very fun to play Ending was dissapointing. Was hoping for something similar to intro qualityGardening Grandmas 4: Chili Cook Off - My rock + watering can chili was not a hit with the judges Llama goes to Market : I liked this a lot. The haggling section felt a lot like the game Shatter, which I love. Could have had a better ending Polar Adventure - Fun and nice looking choose your own adventure thing. finally got the best ending, and it was very chill. worth the time spent Death is Eternal - Looks good, sounds good, super broken collisions. edit: Also, here's a video playthrough of Murder, Death, Chill for people too lazy to play a 5 minute game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23rl4t_hauQ Buffis fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Jan 23, 2016 |

I recommend going in without any prior knowledge at first, but here's some tips on what little gameplay I was able to implement before the contest deadline: The game crashes on startup for me, despite having both XNA runtime and .NET framework installer (downloaded both from links on awfuljam page, and went through installers anyways).

Congrats to all the winners! I will say though, that I feel that Murder, Death, Chill should have been able to take the best use of theme prize. It uses the theme in at least three ways ("typographically", themed around cold stuff, themed around making things chill), not including lovely puns!  #Everest had so much effort put into it though that it definitely deserved it as well, so it's hard to be too sad about this or anything This was a great jam, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Hammer Bro. posted:Murder, Death, Chill Haha, nice. I just watched the video and the reactions to the game was fun to see "Good game, adequate length" is basically everything I hoped the game to be. Regarding the gameplay, yeah it's honestly quite a bit lacking. I threw together an early prototype pretty quickly, which was sortof so-so, and then had to decide if I was going to commit to it, or make something else. Decided to just go with it, and ended up with this game. The limited ways to spawn enemies with the current system doesn't really make for much variety, but since I was going for a short experience, it came out alright. Continues only giving a minor setback (rounds down to last 10%) was a good decision. I knew that I did not want to make a game that's hard to complete. At first, restarts started off from the beginning, and the "Chill mode" on the main screen was introduced (where deaths just count up, but you can't take damage), but I realized that just having a continue where you can keep going with only a minor setback seemed like a better way of making the game easy to complete. After all, this is a game-jam game, and I don't expect people to put that much time into it Very happy with how it came out. Should write up a proper postmortem at some point.A TL;DR postmortem would say: Good: - People generally seem to like the game - Won a bunch of bounties (three i think?) - Pizza made great music Bad: - Did not make top-10 nomination list Lessons learned: - Don't forget to add JonTerp in post-credit judge pandering.
