Signal Board by 6Knowledge

[raw]
made by 6Knowledge for Ludum Dare 59 (JAM)

! WARNING ! No audio (sry :3)

Objective: Connect the "plugs" to correct sockets, a few possible options are given for lore reasons that didn't make it to the game.

Controls: WASD - Move Mouse - Drag and drop the "plug"

That's it, wanted (for once in 3 years of jamming) to make a simple game that doesn't contain 20 undocumented scripts and days worth of pain. A bit simple but if I ever want to expand on it I absolutely can.

It doesn’t load. And you didn’t provide a link to Itch.io or attach a Windows build that can be downloaded. :(

Uncovered a link for people to try: https://files.jam.host/embed/$429693/47869/index.html -- I'll report back once I've played it myself.

Alas. I got it to load but it doesn't work. The plugs don't connect to anything. Visually it looks nice, at least!

Thank you so much for trying the game regardless of how broken it was, couldn't figure out why this version didn't work for some as it worked on both of my test runs. Now there is an itch.io link (should've been from the get go but somehow forgot) that hopefully works for everyone.

It looks nice but I don't understand what I'm supposed to do... When I pick up a wire, I can connect it to, it seems, only a single socket that the game lets me, and nowhere else, then that wire's light changes color, and nothing happens. Did you run out of time or is there an actual puzzle here?

@fupi The game was intentionally left a tad unfinished but there should been some sort of audio or visual to indicate there is a "call" going on the line besides the color. Once the call is finished the light changes and some sort of audio probably would play, and that is when you can disconnect the call by clicking it.

Thank you for playing regardless :)

@6knowledge Weird, I don't hear any audio... Is there audio in the game or are you saying you should have put in some audio? I'm a little confused :sweat_smile:

@fupi In the future xd, had to leave 12 hours before the deadline to help a friend with something else so none of them made it in.

General idea and game base is good - would've loved audio and a bit more to do, other than that it looks and feels clean. Sad that you had to leave early.
Did you have more ideas for what to do with this connection setup?

@thoastbot There are so many ideas I wanted to do with the board and the world around it but just didn't have enough time for anything but the base mechanic. All of them are in the code just waiting to be activated, and honestly with how incomplete this is, might as well pick it up again in the next jam.

I'm sorry I have absolutely no idea how to play the game :/ I managed to put one jack into a socket but that the only thing I could do.

I feel like I would have loved to play with the jacks and the board, too bad you couldn't do what you planned.

Edit : okay on the second try I was fast enough to plug all of them. It's way easier this way when there only a few possible socket lit up.

I have no idea what to do to do anything, sometimes it connects mostly it doesn't

@6knowledge Oh, I see, it was working the first time and I just didn't understand how to do it. I can see now that it's even more incomplete than I thought, but that said -- well done getting this far, and I hope you got some good experience for next time!
