No idea why, I'm still new to GameMaker.

I Only got through around 45 or 50 -- will try and rate more in the coming few days.

In my opinion the game I made was sorta meh, but it was a lot of fun to make, and even more so to participate in a game jam for once -- so thanks for playing my game (or ignoring it - no biggie) and thanks for making yours. I'm doing RemakeJam and am going to take what I learned here and apply it to that one (hopefully!)

I Found a website with a ton of midi arrangements of old ragtime music . The guy who made it has copyright for the performance, but states that his work can be used for non commercial purposes. So if we attribute credit I think it's fine.

I'm making a saloon sim game I think. And this type of piano music played by square waves is just what I was looking for, so thought I'd share. Good jamming everyone.

I have a feeling it has to look like the second one but i just wanted to make sure!

to keep this Jam available for as many people as possible, I have created a CGA Shader that might come in handy for some of you.
It's a simple shader that takes the brightness of the Image and applies the color palette according to that.
One thing I want to add in the future is  a crosshatch effect so the coloration will be a little more detailed and stepped.
Maybe I will release that one as well.


Have fun at the Jam and good luck for all of you :)
Kind regards,
Timbo!

By setting the high-intensity bit, brighter versions of these modes can be accessed. The 1:1.2 pixel aspect ratio needs to be taken into account when drawing large geometrical shapes on the screen.

It only gives you a dull and bright version of the 4 colours but would allow for basic shading without as much dithering.

Source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Under Standard Graphics Mode.

So can we use high and low intensity colours for a full 8 colours (4 x 2 shades)?

I was looking around for pc speaker audio samples in preperation for this jam and stumbled across this video. It's about the differences between the pc speaker emulation in DOSBOX and the real thing.

The cool part is that the real pc speaker has this robotic quality that I had completely forgotten about after years of emulation, but it instantly brought back a feeling of playing games on old IBM hardware.

Listen to the difference between DOSBOX at 2:39   - And   6:11

https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

(The latter is actually simulated as well, but much closer to the sound from those classic ID games I think)

Anyway of course I'm trying to recreate that sound for my CGA jam game.
I'm using VST's. Does anyone here know of a way to recreate that robotic sound with music software. I tried throwing LFO's and FM modulation at a sqare wave, but I can't seem to get very close.

Might be a long shot, but it's worth a shot :)

They're more like settings, which will make for a non-diverse pool of games.
Themes are a tat more interesting if they can be interpreted differently, like a saying or a feeling or a quote.

I thought this might be a good place for some theme discussion and/or suggestions?

I saw mostly the use of High intensity Palettes. However I wanted to ask, if we can also use the low Intensity Versions of the palettes?
