The game is in! The game is not playtested, edited, formatted very well, or frankly any good, but it's in!

Same! There's definitely stuff here that will need a rework, to the point that I could probably put a FIX THIS, AUTHOR 3 section at the end

I'm pretty certain I did exactly that. Just draw a big circle around the bits I wanted to do but didn't and label it HINT HINT.

We've got twelve very solid, meaty game drafts here; now it's time to put on that most difficult hat and actually completing something. Can you carry one of these concepts over the finish line? Post to claim your champion!

I will be reading these over today and awarding the two Bonus Points.

While I'd definitely like to use WereGoat's and Hostile V's settings for something in the future, I think I'll go with Spotlight Harmony.

Hard part is that it's already pretty well rounded, so it's gonna be tough figuring out what I can add...

Yeah, that's what I'm struggling with now. I'm reading these and thinking they look pretty solid and I'm not sure what to bring to the table. (I'm guessing this isn't the time for extensive remodeling...)

The amount of remodeling is very much up to you! You will be judged on your final submission, not on its strength vs. its previous iterations.

As a reminder, the final deadline is the stroke of midnight Pacific Daylight Time on Sunday, 15 August. (That is, you have all Sunday to make frantic edits polish your final product.)

No, please don't choose anything you worked on in phases 1 or 2. If we have a selection problem due to this, let me know and we'll work it out.


Dog Kisser posted:

I was initially going to say no

HOWEVER

Since this is a Collaborative Game Jam, I will allow you to work together in the final phase. If two people want to work on refining a single Phase 2 concept, with the understanding that you'll share a score and split any prizes you might receive, then you may.

Argh, I'm torn three ways between Shadow of the Moon Wizard, Hostile V Second round, or Skeleton Justice Warriors.

I don't think I could do the SJW tone justice, so that would be meat futures Vs space race.

Aaagh, it's so difficult to choose!

Think it's gonna have to be Hostile V Second round

It's a real tough choice between Gals_Goons, In the Court of the Invisible King, or Skeleton Justice Warriors for me, but I think I'll go with Gals_Goons here!

Just as an FYI, this one is already claimed by DalaranJ, so you'll have to produce something distinct if you're not working together.

OR you can go with the single remaining slot, UG Overdrive.

Just to clarify, does this mean this can still be selected, but would need to be significantly changed in order to be distinct?

I'll be rereading both tomorrow to decide.

I just mean you should have a strong concept before going in if you're going to double up with someone, and you may want to touch base with them to make sure you both aren't going to turn in fundamentally the same game.

My plan for expanding it was to mainly add 'monster' and setting details. I think another good option would be to not add any details and instead add some brush up to the weirdness of the setting. Like twist it into something less sci-fi, and more explicitly psychedelic?

I replied to your PM. But to answer your question (Are our concepts to alike) more directly, I think it should be fine since it sounds like you intend to pursue a different mechanical concept maybe focusing on combat some more, while I'm looking to keep the mechanics set in a more narrative space. The concept you sent me reminded me of an old itch.io video game I saw about queer folk piloting mechs made of meat, perhaps that was Hostile V's inspiration in the first place? I'm going in a slightly more 'Cruelty Squad' direction with the concept, I guess.

I was inspired more by William S. Burroughs and Phillip K. Dick than Extreme Meatpunks but also do whatever you think feels right.

From your PM'd description, I'm really excited to see your game, it sounds awesome.

And yeah, sounds like we're are going in completely different directions, so now confirming- I'm going for Hostile V Second round also.
