Title: I actually finished a game Post by: Ty on December 13, 2010, 12:29:45 am I just finished a 48 hour Game Jam (http://www.reddit.com/r/RedditGameJam/comments/eknue/reddit_game_jam_04_final_submissions_thread/), and actually got something finished. The theme was "Metamorphosis", so I picked a familiar RPG and worked on that. It's the first game I've made in Flash, so I'm pleased that it actually works.
Anyways, you can play it here: Monster Mash (http://lab.sodaware.net/game-jams/reddit-4/) Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Elvenfyre on December 15, 2010, 07:50:31 pm Love it!
Replay loop so I don 't have to reload window every time I suck it up? edit: ahh there we go just space again :) Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Elvenfyre on December 17, 2010, 10:06:52 pm so i found some of the tricks :)
and got to the end, but i don't think it was the good ending? not sure on this one! lovely game, please make another one! no need to add more features, just slightly different opponents and a map would do to keep me going :) Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Elvenfyre on December 17, 2010, 10:37:11 pm yayayayyay multi ending replayability for the win :)
Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Ty on December 18, 2010, 01:13:13 am I've got a few things left to add based on suggestions I've had, but otherwise I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. There's about 5 different endings I think, depending on how you evolved. Glad you like it :) I still can't believe I got it all done in 2 days.
Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Elvenfyre on December 18, 2010, 02:51:46 am well done, 2 days, excellent
I wouldn't want to critique it, that might just slow down the release of the next land ;) It's fun, and definitely challenging at first. I can't seem to get any other than 2 endings, but will keep working on it. trying desperatey to find a way to get my guy to equip the pipe of justice. Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Ty on December 18, 2010, 07:58:02 pm Updated it to the latest version. Gameplay is slightly tweaked, and fixed a few little glitches here and there. I might put equipment in the next version (just armour + a weapon), along with the other mutations I wanted. If nothing else, I'd like different enemies in the caves & forest.
The (very messy) source code is available here: monster_mash-src-1.1.19.tar.gz (http://lab.sodaware.net/game-jams/reddit-4/monster_mash-src-1.1.19.tar.gz). I used FlashDevelop (http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=Main_Page) and Flixel (http://flixel.org/), which are both awesome :D Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Elvenfyre on December 20, 2010, 10:14:11 am :)
Good on you Ty. Will have to mess around with the source some time. Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Devlyn on December 21, 2010, 09:19:30 am I keep dying in that game :(. I lost my gaming skills I'm afraid :/...
Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Mandrew on October 01, 2012, 04:27:13 pm Cool game Ty, especially considering how long you had to work on it.
Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Ty on October 01, 2012, 08:38:51 pm Thanks :) I keep thinking I should polish it up a little and release it to a wider audience. I've done two more game jams since then. Once game is a shooter called "Psycho Bean", and the other is a (really crappy) robot strategy game called "Ineptia". You can play them both here: http://lab.sodaware.net/game-jams/
I find the short duration for these contests challenging, especially as coming up with an idea for the theme can be difficult. However, it does mean I have to cut out all the useless bits and concentrate on making something fun. That doesn't always work, of course ;) Still, it gives me a chance to try out new techniques for doing stuff. Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Aura4 on October 13, 2012, 06:22:36 am The Monster Mash game is well made, but too hard. Gonna take a look at the other games. I also participated in a game dev compo recently, Ludum Dare 48. My game is available here (binaries: http://www.hugi.scene.org/adok/miscellaneous/evolution.zip, source code: http://www.hugi.scene.org/adok/miscellaneous/evolution_source.zip).
Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Aura4 on October 13, 2012, 06:27:44 am Oh, I just recalled it was Ludum Dare 24, not 48.
Title: Re: I actually finished a game Post by: Ty on October 13, 2012, 01:58:33 pm Nice one, I'll give it a try! Ineptia was my entry for LD#23. I wanted to enter Ludum Dare 24, but had been working long hours on work-related projects and didn't really want to spend a full weekend working 18 hour days :) I'll almost certainly enter the next one though.
