How many boring one-word themes are we going to have to suffer through before y'all dictionary-lovers go back to Itch.io?
"It spreads" wasn't great, but at least it sounded like a classic good LD theme...
:weary:
Not my best theme suggestions but not my worst! Last LD was a real wake-up call for me about my depression and lack of motivation, and I've been working on it all this year so hopefully I'll be able to bring my B+ game if not my A game this time around! Honestly I'd even settle for my C+ game this time lol.
For those who are curious or also looking for themes to suggest, here's the list of my rejected ideas, minus a couple I'm saving for later:
initially i was a bit harsher but after going through the themes I was able to be a little less harsh.
Although I'm just saying, +2/-2 buttons when? Some themes are so atrocious they really need to option to double-downvote these days...
also not sure what's up with the label that lets us know that Ritual was the theme from GGJ 2016 but that made it an easy one to downvote lol, i come here for LD themes not castoffs from other jams
:thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:
literally? Legitimately? Bring back 3 theme suggestions, I know it's more work but like more options means less garbage lol...
(then forget u were gonna post about it until 0123412)
biting commentary on the themes available and voting process
Going back on my post history, I haven't posted an "I'm In" since LD53, which was one of the two times I jumped ship from my terrible game ideas to help @shreemp with his.
To be honest, after that my mental health basically collapsed. I participated in some LD slaughters and tried to participate in LD55 w/ shreemp (I got taken out by the theme sucks + I had the flu, all on top of the terrible mental health :skull:) but I haven't posted a legitimate "I'm In" hype post since then. But my mental health has been a lot better this year since I've been able to start medically transitioning, and my creativity has improved significantly with the lessened weight of dysphoria & depression. Even looking back at my old posts I can see game ideas for themes I previously rated as horrible, although I still stand by my ratings lol.
So this time the goal is to make a friggin game for once!!! And not just alone, but going in w/ shreemp from the start! I KNOW we make a good team and I'm tired of my dumb little brain holding me back so this post is for hyping myself up and holding myself accountable :muscle: I don't care what the theme will be, try me universe!!! I will LITERALLY punch god to make this LD happen!!!
Other than Godot 4 and beepbox, tools are up in the air since it's gonna be a team effort haha.
didn't think one of the only 2 i voted for would make it through lol!! Did I have any ideas for it when i voteD? nope!! Am I stoked as hell and have some ideas already that i came up it while getting read to cook a late-ass breakfast? YEAAAAA
GLHF EVERYONE!!!!!
ive had the idea since like 46 minute into the jam but the OG concept sketches were awful LMAO, this one aint better but it helps me visualize because i am All Over The Place
scrungy quality cuz zoomed in on the camera lmaooo, anyway its basically snake + those god awful mobile game ads, which i have heard called 'Number Dungeons', so thats what im calling it too lol
x,y,z,w?????? why not w,x,y,z or x,y,z,a???? :skull: :skull: :skull:
I've ended up with one of those strange times where I've done a lot of code without anything particularly gif-able, so...
have the tiny Godot code minimap instead! I love looking at it every time I make something in Godot, it's such a joy to see all the little shapes and colors.
Anyway, I went from "i should take a nap, but I can't stop coding" to "My brain is as dead as it can possibly be and nothing makes sense anymore" so I guess that's that for day 1 for me. 12 hours of doing more work than I have in a year, even if a lot of it was super distracted and a lot of writing in my sketchbook to sort out my thoughts on code structures. I'm having an absolute blast with this LD, and that's really something I've been missing. I was worried I'd never enjoy LD again!
Good luck and goodnight, all! :smile_cat:
(also as a minor engagement: to those who publish their games page early when the game isn't made yet, what's good y'all??? you're missing out on the boost you'll get from followers being notified that you published when the game actually exists lol)
after barely being able to sleep due to Being Too Excited To Work On Gaem, i am now awake to Work On Gaem, but I'll mess around with music a little while I'm gettin some breakfast of champions into me!
I haven't enjoyed LD this much in literal years! :smile_cat:
(ezgif won the fight :sob:)
it only takes a good few hours for
to become
phewww you never notice how long it is until you look over at the lil code minimap lol
how all y'all's minimaps going fellow godot peeps? what monstrosities have you coded?
and yet, number dungeon snake maze is what i decided to make for this jam lmao
when ur logic is fine but the engine says nooooooo im gonna change the scale of your player to an obscure number if you set that variable to true before awaiting an animation to finish uwu there's nothing you can do about it either uwu
sheeeeesh godot smh
proper marketing post tomorrow + cover art and real descriptions lmao, but our game is up and finished!!!
it technically has 1 gamebreaking bug but i am too braindead to solve it, gomenasai :pray: :sob:
GOODNIGHT ERRYONE LOOKIN FORWARD TO PLAY&RATE TOMORROW!!!!
