We're in! 2

Tipyx • 3 years ago on 10th Alakajam! entry  Sailor Swift

My partner in crime ( @Titaninette ) and I are in!
It'll be a first time in the world of gamedev and game jam for her, so it'll be very interesting for both of us :)

We'll use :

  • Haxe for the code language
  • Heaps / LED / CastleDB for the framework and tools
  • Aseprite to expose to the world my "beautiful" pixel art
  • Probably Beepbox for the music
  • And BFXR for the blip bloop things.

Good lick to all of you! 👅

My First Alakajam! Composer wanting to collab & make some music for this jam 2

bravura_music • 3 years ago on 10th Alakajam! 

Well hello there

I'm offering my services as a composer (no payment required of course) this weekend, to get involved in the 10th Alakajam!

If you're a dev and cooking a lil sutt'n up this weekend that you think… hmmm…. would be nice to have some TASTY AUDIO to go with these DELICIOUS VISUALS then I might be your guy :D

Limited portfolio at www.shanechauhan.com, these are mostly combat tracks for Action genre. Just to give you some examples - I can compose for most genres and styles :)

Let's talk if you're interested (negative_harmony_0@protonmail.com)

Best o' luck to everyone this weekend!

I AM IN

As normal I will be streaming all my developments on https://www.twitch.tv/timbeaudet so follow there!

The themes seem to be a swarm around sailing on a ship over the waves of the ocean. The clouds will come from wind and rain on your paths to the moon. Travel with your map so separation is not a problem. Play your cards right and this generation will swap chains like clockwork.

Not sure the themes are fun but I will be testing out my new physics engine which barely has balls working.

Tools

  • Visual Studio
  • Visual Studio Code
  • Photoshop
  • Blender
  • Turtle Brains GameDev Framework
  • Internal Combustion Engine 3D/Physics

Pets

  • Sara (cat)
  • Monky (birb)
  • Indie (dog)

Dev diary 8

dollarone • 3 years ago on Music Kajam entry  Chip Challenge

I'm working on an idea I started on for the Music Kajam. Progress is slow and I am finding it hard to concentrate on dev at the moment.

I thought that creating a kind of dev diary and adding progress updates to it here might help with motivation. Let's try it!

Today I added fade-out and also fade-ins to the game. This is done by palette shifting through the available 4 colours. I think it works quite well!

Karma mechanics ¿? 4

MrAmericanMike • 3 years ago on ScoreSpace x Alakajam! entry  HundredPipers

I am confuse as to how the Karma in Alakajam works. I see when you hoover over it says:

Rate and review other games to increase your karma, and get featured higher on the list!

However, even when doing so Karma goes up, but then it goes down again.

Anyone know the exact mechanics on how this works?
