I jumped the gun. TEAM PUNCH FIGHT is still looking for a 3D artist for our award-winning, yet-to-be-announced game. A willingness to get dirty with wiring things up in UE4 in addition to pushing vertices around in Blender is a huge plus.

It's me on dev, art, writing, VO, maybe music, a nongoon also on dev, Chernabog on art, and nonperson Mihai Zetta on making pretty noises. Now to reinstall Windows instead of procrastinating until my computer shits itself and dies midjam  EDIT: I also have a bounty that's rolling over from the Little Awful Jam! A steam copy of Contraption Maker to whoever makes the game with the best  !

The original historical context of Our Lizard Brain Goes Into Overdrive is also basically the setup for a Charles Atlas comic. Just put in lizard heads and more screaming.

Still looking for a 2d artist to join us. You would be saving the jam from more lovely programmer-art, and lovely-programmer art.

Team Cat Butts is officially formed. Worst case, you're forced to write "cat butts" on the wall of shame, which will be a personal victory for me. ... besides, I had a banner image for it already, so hey. Don't ask. (if anyone wants to make voxel art, Team Cat Butts could probably use you, but worst case, Team Cat Butts will run with terrible programmer voxel art) Shalinor fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Jun 21, 2016 |

JonTerp posted:Why would you assume that? We made the themes, we've already discussed how best to judge adherence for each. the most reposted thing in this thread is literally a video of dancing lizards. people are gonna make games with lizards if theme is about lizard brains ...Which is fine, but it will be a weird split when half of the games literally feature lizards and the other half are really abstract

Probably going to be doing something with UE4 for this. I'm totally expecting to end up flying solo, but if anyone wants to team up, get at me. Edit: Great Beer posted:Ok, I'll be that guy. What's the lizard brain thing referring to? That conspiracy theory where some people are actually lizard men in disguise? Lizard brain" refers to the oldest part of the brain, the brain stem, responsible for primitive survival instincts such as aggression and fear ("flight or fight"), https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/where-addiction-meets-your-brain/201404/your-lizard-brain It is in charge of fight, flight, feeding, fear, freezing-up, and Amstrad fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Jun 21, 2016 |

The lizard brain is a term for the simple, animalistic part of your brain that controls basic instincts like fear, hunger, and reproduction. It's the part of the brain that controls the flight or fight mechanics and things like that. So our lizard brain going into overdrive could be interpreted as like your base, animal instincts taking over.

Amstrad posted:Probably going to be doing something with UE4 for this. Some theme ideas might be: (Probably not doing this one. Yours if you want it.) A sim game where you must pick one base instinct to ignore every turn. (This could also be a CYOA.) Example: "You see Karen. Karen is pretty. Do you resist the urge to: [throw your poo poo at your competitors] [whip out your junk] [eat a thousand twinkies]?" (What we'll probably be doing if the theme is picked.) You are "the lizard brain" and you are responsible for dictating the actions of a swarm of creatures that you have to control simultaneously. Normally they make clockwise circles, but each key on your keyboard makes them switch direction, so you can get forward movement by rapidly typing 'qqqqqqqq'. How many can you control at once? (The backup plan if the above idea isn't fun) You are racing your lizard against a bunch of others. You can't control it directly, but you can set the motivators for 'hunger', 'speed', and 'fear'. Then launch it down the track. It will move towards food based on the hunger drive, away from predators based on fear, and down the track based on speed. You have to rapidly tweak and optimize these to try to get to the finish, like bowling, but with a bowling ball that has some self-navigating ability.

I'm going to try to clone Tapper so I think any theme will work with a change of art assets. There's no way I'll win but I figure with something simple I'll at least get it finished.

Another Thing Named Colbert is looking for a 3D programmer to join our team. We are currently considering using UE4, although we've used Unity for past competitions and can use it again if necessary. Members currently consist of ScotchDK, handling 3D modeling and textures, and me, taking care of level design, UI design, and music/SFX (assuming I don't burn myself out again). The team has participated in four out of the five past game jams (in some form or another), usually ending up in the middle of the pack. Maybe you will be the programmer who gets us to the top! If you're interested, send me a PM either on the forums or though the slack channel.

Just write your own equivalent. UFPS is terrible. It's about 5-10% really good ideas, and the remainder is unadulterated horseshit. Shalinor fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Jun 22, 2016 |

While I am a judge, I am allowed to contribute (I just can't judge anything I am in) so I'm offering This stuff usually comes later in dev, so if you need something fast hit me up. In following the 3-developer rule, using outside actors is fine as long as they aren't really doing anything more than providing their voice. Here is some crap so you can hear my voice: https://soundcloud.com/panicattackstudios/ I got a studio, and like using it, so give me crap to read drat you all.

Hey, I might as well make my first post here. I participated in the last summer Awful Jam as System Logoff's music guy, and then I also participated in the Little Awful Jam under the same role, and also did my own thing. And at the very least I'm doing SysL's music this year. And I might also be doing my own thing. That's basically it.

Shalinor posted:To expand on this, Team Cat Butts could use a voxel artist to make art for an FPS. If you've seen me posting Spartan Fist crap, yes, the game will be something like that. Maybe with swords and stuff? Cat-based weaponry? Not sure. Probably not guns, because guns are boring. Maybe it will be entirely non-violent, even? I guess this depends a lot on theme, but I just had a great idea for Grandma, so hooray? I thought you said it was pretty good in the other thread. Anything change your mind, or just a culmination of enough small (or massive) wtf's?

Why the hell not. Might as well try and combine all my lovely OpenGL experiments into an engine and try and make something useful with it. I know making my own engine for a 1-month challenge is a Bad Idea; I guess I might just hate myself that much. If there's a 3D artist/level designer/sound person out there who wants to embark on this journey with me, hit me up on PM/in this thread!

I'm dusting off the code I used for Chill Robot (reminder, available here: https://github.com/JosephCatrambone/Chill) and thinking "boy, what the gently caress was I thinking" a whole bunch. I took a _lot_ of shortcuts, but the project as a whole still seems pretty good. I need to go back and pull out the Chill-Specific things, but I'm going to keep a lot of the level stuff (and upgrade the map loader so I can paint collision tiles instead of drawing them by hand).

Oh yeah! If anybody wants  girl voice acting in their game let me know. Since I'll be working on my own game I probably won't have time to cut anything up but I can provide a clean recording (AKG c214 + Scarlett 2i2 should be good enough for a game jam!)

I came up with some rad ideas for Games for Grandma when I was trying to fall asleep last night, so I'm officially fine if that wins now. I hereby announce a truce with grandma-voters. I'll be entering with my IRL artist friend that worked on Turbo Voynich Manuscript and Netflicks and Chill Man with me once again, but I'm not sure if I'll need anyone else yet. Though since I'm moving from AZ to Japan and starting a new job at the start of July, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to handle myself... Hmm. I'm also trying to think of a better team name for Sexy Local Team in Your Area. I suggested ISIS like I did in both of the other jams, but it was shot down once again. drat.
