LD42 — Running out of space

Chadwick Cave Chronicles by nerdyHerbivore 2018-08-15T16:45:01Z

Thanks for checking out the game @awix. Not sure how far you got with the game (as the version was super bugged - so maybe just trolling with your very suspiciously generic comment haha;) ), and would appreciate not spamming us to check out your game. As for the Music, it was designed perfectly to fit the Art, Style, Story and the desire of the over all group (though sadly not all the Music & SFX were able to make it in to the first draft (nor all properly mixed in game - but hopefully final draft will contain those). But thanks for playing/checking it out anyhow.

Haha. Thank you so much for playing our game @demn, there were certainly a lot of issues we ran into when finally building everything into the engine and exporting, especially in the HTML version, which we are still making bug fixes for to try and hopefully give our original intention of the game. And thank you for your kind words about the Music (many SFX are missing but hopefully they will be in the Bug Fix/updated edition soon and mixed better in game engine) that means a lot to me and is what I strive for in all the games (and other projects) I work on. Thank you again for playing and your on point insights!!

Thanks @honey for playing. Ya certain issues arose and we are currently trying to fix all the bugs and make a proper working/functioning game the way it was intended since the beginning (without the bugs haha). Thank you for your tip, and glad you experienced the underwater feeling, we made sure to really make it feel, look and sound like you were there. Thanks again for playing.

Thanks @antti-haavikko for your in depth analysis. There are still quiet a few bugs they are working out (last I heard). I can't speak for much else besides music. My original idea and intention of the game was to be more difficult with more obstacles that hurt the player more fitting to the theme of running out of space, like: falling rocks, electric Eels, and possibly more vicious deep sea creatures. By progressing from a more upbeat journey into a lament and then a hectic battle scenario, which is why the Music does just that. Sadly, that was not implemented into the game, perhaps that will be more developed into a post jam. But sadly with many games there are a whole lot of bugs that happen when the final builds are being created, especially when there are several coders on the project, as well as Audio being incorporated a bit later/lastly in the process. But thank you for your honest breakdown and taking the time to play and write this.

Tower defense type game used for theme, not a bad idea but not too innovating. The Music/SFX are very stock, not very unique or compelling (sounds perhaps too similar to terminator) but are simple and gets the point across for a basic game. Not bad at all.

The Room Of Death by HIM 2018-08-14T20:58:58Z

Thanks for checking it out @s-knight. And I thought that at first too. But the space bar is actually supposed to clean up some of that which is the yellow bar that charges up at the bottom of the screen. We should probably do a better job of letting players know that and perhaps charge it faster. Thank you for the feedback and checking it out.

The Room Of Death by HIM 2018-08-20T20:07:55Z

@hayroljr & @yamifive Thanks for checking out the game and love that you enjoyed it so much!!

The Room Of Death by HIM 2018-08-20T20:10:53Z

Thanks @martintristan I agree, this is an issue we talked about a lot. Hopefully, we can build something a little better in the future on this same concept. Thanks for checking it out and leaving feedback.

The Room Of Death by HIM 2018-08-20T20:14:07Z

@panurge Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Sadly not all the SFX were implemented as I originally intended. But the coder did what he could for the time spent on the game. Thanks again.

The Room Of Death by HIM 2018-08-22T21:30:33Z

@chadrbanks Thanks for trying, sorry you didn't get to try it. ( myself primarily use Mac and had to use wine bottler to run different PC apps/games so I know how you feel. We did have a HTML version, but sadly it was broken so we took it down, but we are in the process of fixing it, hopefully soon. Thanks for commenting and we will let you know as soon as we having a working HTML version.

Captain Graphite by honey 2018-08-19T14:49:16Z

I am a sucker for space shooters, and good job despite being very minimalist in art and sound. The controls felt very good. I eventually got bored by the same sounds/music and art the entire time. Wasn't too challenged but I think if there more Music/Sounds and alot more different objects to interact with, or even a score counter even more than 1 continuous level, I think would extend the games enjoyment period for a bit longer. I Still had fun playing it and one of the games I could see myself putting on for a few minutes for a quick fix. Thanks for making it.

Tappy Face by S_Knight 2018-08-15T00:09:37Z

Interesting take on the theme and Tetris/Dr. Mario type game. Wish there was some Audio though, Would be more gratifying to hear them pop, and with a chill track in the background could take it up a few levels.

Hey man, really wanted to play your game but sadly I only have Mac and it wouldn't run and gave me this message "Unable to find game||:" luckily my team was able to play it on their PCs. Hopefully they will leave some feedback. Took a screenshot too. It wouldn't quit either had to force quit it. [Screen Shot 2020-05-01 at 8.02.36 PM.png](///raw/ebb/61/z/33aaf.png)

We are Darkness by DeCarlos 2020-04-21T15:12:35Z

@nehvis Thank you for checking our game out. We are currently trying to develop a Quest version but will have to make quite a few changes before that is possible, along with a few other fixes :).

Thank you for your feedback and interest! Good luck!

We are Darkness by DeCarlos 2020-04-21T15:16:23Z

@blue-pin-studio :( Ya, the game is meant for multiplayer, sorry about that. I promise it is worth it if you get a few other friends on a PC to run a round chasing you. It is hilarious and scary at the same time haha.

Hopefully, can eventually make a long term goal of adding AI that can act as the Darkness.

Thank you for checking out our game and leaving feedback. Good Luck!
