Hey everyone, I wanted to share my game jam here and invite you, yes, YOU specifically to come join. It's going to be a lot of fun. I've got youtubers who will be playing your game on their channel during the scoring period of the game jam after the submission deadline. 

There is a prize of approximately $200 USD worth of Bitcoin sent to the wallet address of the winner's choosing.

This jam is both beginner-friendly, intermediate-friendly and expert-friendly. I did it this way because I wrote this for you, and I know you're in one of those three categories. So come sign up for this jam. Find a team, form a team, make a game, possibly win, definitely have your game appear on Youtube. Go join now, what are you waiting for Jordan?

I've found AI to be a useful resource when im trying to brainstorm the functions in my game. like for example if i want a gameobject to orbit around another game object without breaking or not working, ill ask an ai like chatgpt, "using unity, what is a clean and reliable way to make X object do Y action." and itll write out for you a step by step instruction guide. and if it gives you something unclear, you can ask it to clarify that specific point for you. Very useful tool for game developing. 

Hey Duck Duck Jammers!

Whether it's your first time diving into a game jam or you're a seasoned jammer, here are some nuggets of wisdom that have served me well across numerous jams:

1. Submit Early
   Don't wait until the last minute! You can submit your game and still update it before the submission deadline. Avoid the panic of being 99% done but missing the deadline by just that 1% still in progress.
2. Choose Your Engine Wisely
   I've seen too many teams disband or submit lackluster games because they got bogged down in engine development during the jam. My advice? Have your engine ready to go before the jam starts. This way, you can focus all your energy on creating your game.
3. Be Kind
   Remember, the game development community is tight-knit. Winning a game jam by undermining others is not only unsporting, it's shortsighted. People might forget the specifics of your game, but they’ll always remember how you treated them. Let’s make this a supportive and friendly competition!

Looking forward to seeing the creativity and collaboration that I know this community is all about. Let’s make this Duck Duck Jam one to remember!

Happy Jamming!

capitalist. How dare you.

This is awesome! Someone who's willing to do my 10 tracks, plus looping intro and credits tracks FOR FREE! Take that, Capitalism! Thank you.

Thanks for the review. The implications of climate change are subtle but you need to look at the planets themselves. You come from a healthy world suited for your species, but you see warning signs of what your world could become like a desert planet, or a water planet, or a gas giant. If you don't pay a high enough tax rate to your government, your world could turn into a gas giant 17 times the size of your current planet. That's a warning we all need to take very seriously.

Did you win anything? I didn't win anything. was this jam abandoned or something

Great game!!

Good game!

You can pan the camera by holding Right-click. It's in the How To Play instructions. Thanks for the review! Yeah I programmed your allies to trigger mines too because, well, sometimes its not you who makes the mistake. sometimes you pay for the mistakes of those around you.

I've got 3D reverse TD you may be interested in : )

all 5's, great game! It's rare I play a game more than once. I think I played yours 8 or 9 times.

This game made me crave some sliced fruit. Good game!

all 5s homie good job

5s homie, good job

5/5/5 great game

5/5/5, great game

nice

5/5/5, perfect game. good job

I wanted to show a new, horrifying perspective as the lane monster. Your comrades are being gunned down and blown to pieces all around you. You look up, and see dark, looming figures raining death down on you. As a solo project, I feel like I needed to put all my hours into that basket. It typically takes me 3-6 hours to do one 3D model. Art, similarly, very time consuming. I won't even try to deny it- I ignored UI, 2D art and complex 3D modeling. I focused on atmosphere.

5/5 in all categories, this was an excellent game. Great job.

I made the toy robot kaijus, but the rest were Synty. I made the buildings, road and towers in Blender.

Absolute no to getting to pick which tower you place. Randomness is the entire catch of the game.

However, the plan is to add a degree of control. The Tier 4 origami swan was meant to have a fly ability so the player can swap its position with another tower. The Tier 1 radioactive barrel was meant to have a mutation ability where you can sacrifice it to power up any tier 4 tower into a radioactive themed version of itself with new, stronger attacks.

Other features coming soon that there wasn’t time to add in this jam:

- the GLHF floating spinning thing, if you click on it, that’s a bank. You can deposit your extra money there and get money payouts per wave.

- Wave settings. At the beginning of the game you can select the difficulty (easy, normal, hard, kaiju) the number of waves from 7 to infinite, maximum tower tier, number of lives, etc.

I really did not like the controls personally but I understand that's probably a core component of the game so I won't hold that against you. Aside from the me-issue, I think you did a great job!

Great art!!

Good game, well made!

[11pm CST, 4/9/23] Updating to fix the following bugs:

- Failed boss waves do not trigger the following wave

- T-pose on wave 28 by adding the animator

- Tooltip error on name for Scrambler tower lvl 3

- Fixed the Win screen to appear after Wave 35

Awhh thanks. Obviously I know the game is buggy, so it’s nice to hear a compliment instead. You made my day buddy. 

Does this game jam allow submissions to be updated? I know many game jams don't allow it. I don't know if all game jams are like that or if some allow updates.. If so I got some bugs I'd love to fix. Just checking if anyone knows?

Thanks. I attempted to fix that bug exact bug but ended up cutting it too close to the deadline. My "fix" ended up creating 2 more bugs, 2 minutes before the deadline. It is what it is. After the jam is over, I'll fix all the bugs and add several more features that had to get cut. The floating sign was going to be a bank where you can invest money to get returns after each wave.

Sorry for the bug. Here is the screen you deserve to see:

if anyone wants me to beta test their game to look for bugs and give feedback hmu on Discord Aquaduckstudio#0780 

Puzzle games rule. it looks good!

Wow!! That's awesome

Here is a very early preview of my game:

I'm making a Kaiju-themed tower defense game. I wanted to show off 4 towers I made in Blender : )

Still open to teammates!!

I'm forming a team for Kaiju Jam. If you would like to see what I'm able to make, please see my GMTK 48 hour submission, "Haunted House: Dice Til Dawn" That was 2 days, this jam is 14 days. So plenty of time to build a similar project. It'll be a 3d, playable in browser game.

I'm interested in forming a group with anyone. Music (edit- have a musician now), sound effects, ideators, character developers, writers, UI, modelers, artists, reviewers, etc. The only thing I'm not looking for is an additional Unity developer to myself. I'll be making the game in Unity with Game Creator.

Beginner, expert, no experience, decades of experience, doesn't matter to me. I'm happy to group up with anyone.

HMU on Discord - AquaduckStudio#0780

Don't even get me started on the camera collider. It's an issue within the Game Creator addon for Unity, and support was unwilling to work with me to solve it. Since Game Creator's camera scripts tie dependencies into every other script, detangling that issue just isn't possible short of remaking the entire game from scratch. I would highly recommend Unity developers avoid Game Creator's products.

Thanks for the feedback. Originally I used a static camera, but people complained about that. So I swapped from static to adventure camera default, but you could swap from adventure to static by pressing C. Then I got complaints about that too. Ugh. I think I'll add back in the swap option for static and ignore any feedback against it going forward.

I loved the artwork! Great job to the entire team.
