Thank you so much! I’ve long considered making a full release out of this game. What did you think were the main flaws of the game? I saw you encountered the infamous ‘falling through the floor’ glitch, but what else could improve the game in your opinion? And do you think ‘the architect’ should get a full release and what would that look like in your eyes? Also this game was made for the 2024 GMTK game jam. The video is titled 2004.

After looking at your channel, I think you would like my ongoing game Cronos Syndrome, which is currently in the prototype stage. If you want to check that out I have a discord related to it’s development: https://discord.gg/6vcBxS9tTM

Sorry for the long-winded reply, but this doesn’t happen to me too often.

Thank you! I appreciate that! I’ll be sure to check your game out.

I actually just used the same character controller I’ve used since the beginning!

Very creepy! I loved it. I was a potato with eyes! That wouldn’t do. So I did as TV man said and burned out my corneas.

Thank you. I’m considering making a post-jam version and this will be very helpful.

EXTERMLY DIFFICULT! but the art is super good, so I’ll give it a pass.

It is very hard! I would recommend adding an explanation for how to play in the game’s description.

Really grindy, which, with the low amount of actual gameplay, is a kind of a negative. Otherwise I really liked it!

Interesting idea. I think the game would work a lot better if it used a grid system rather then physics. Like Connect-Four meets Tetris.

Finally finished! Great game!

You can make small fixes during the rating period, you just can’t add new things.

The reverse-gravity mechanic didn’t work all the time and the low acceleration killed the tight platforming for me.

This happens all the time. It’s completely fine to have your game be similar to another jam game. Just watch any of GMTK’s videos for his jams. He names multiple games with the same idea or theme almost every time he speaks.

I started on day 3.

I’ve participated or at least rated in a few Brackeys game jams and I’ve never seen a solo-dev ranking.

You can’t get ratings until the game jam’s designated rating period begins after the submission period.

I don’t think it matters. You can only vote during the rating period so it’s probably better to submit early rather then late. Then you can get both feedback and as a precaution. You never know when you might not be able to submit later for whatever reason.

AI is a tool for assisting in your task. Using it as the worker basically means you just posted a game made by AI under your own name.

Idk about the jam but I’d love to talk on discord! I’m making a story based game and I’ve been eager to get into screen writing. @codmen4000

Odd. I just retried the game using what’s uploaded to the jam and it works decently well.

Hey bro! How you doing?

I’m here!

“Thaks for playing this cruddy game!” Haha lol

Nice game but I accidently did this

Pretty polished. A nice spin on a game seen a million times. Also the AI is pretty hard lol.

Wow, that’s so cool! I did not expect a response! My mind is blown! Something else that’s funny is I just signed in to Itch for the first time in a few weeks. Oh, and I’m sorry if I sounded a bit critical.

AH! My heart! Just finished it!

I know the game is unlikely to receive updates but I have encountered a few bugs:

You can see the fluid under the floor if you build the incubators next to the bottom edge.

The King-bomb-bomb has no texture and only appears as the last creature in the incubator, or if you load up the game, they only appear as purple squares, and after a while, they just disappeared.

Sometimes while I was building, my available incubator slots was randomly reduced to 5. I was able to fix it the first time by upgrading my generator, but by the second time it happened I had already reached max level. Restarting did fix it though.

Occasionally, after I finish a contract, a blank contract will appear with no requirements. I haven’t really tested this one, but the blank contract appears to reward the player as well.

And when you try to build a structure while your cursor is out-of-bounds, it won’t let you build. I wasted an hour trying to get the end button to work, because I thought I didn’t have enough coins.

I am using the Windows build just so you know. I hope this doesn’t seem like nagging or complaining, I just want to alert AIA of these bugs.

This is an interesting marketing trick. It will probably work quite well for you!

I am interested in your music. I have to warn you that I will not be able to participate during the entire jam.

That is a very cool style! If you’re interested in teaming my username on discord is the same as my itch.io.
