kinda fun to play, nice idea.

it's a shame that the game lag every now and then, probably because of the instantiate. you should use object pooling to reduce the lag.

I'd rather have stuffs shoot automatically and focus on the drifting. So you can use space as a break to make the ship drift instead. Anyways, your game your choice.

After some contemplation, I decided to removed the price from the BBQ game.

The first reason is it's too hard to advertise such a game and people probably won't give a look.

Secondly, and actually the main reason. It's because I don't want to have potential liability in regular financial report toward Epic.

I went through a lot of thoughts and decided to goes full open source.

I switched to linux for quite sometime now, and studying Godot. Well the progress is not that good since I have a health problem.

Essentially this is just me removing myself from the potential liabilities.

I'm too lazy to live in such a world full of shackles.

I'm joyful when I no longer need to think if I owe anyone anything.

Hopefully by making this game free will give me some good karma.

Consider some donations if you find this game enjoyable.

I don't know who you are, but I'd love to see what you're making at the end of the jam.

Good luck!

I'm expecting nobody gonna join this jam.

Anyways I decided to create this jam even if it's just to put a restriction on myself.

Maybe I just want to do something that I don't have to "live with it forever".

Here is discord invite

If you want to have a more real time chat with me, join the discord.

I'll focus on the mechanic side since it's the core of my future games. I can't promise about the arts though.

I won't aim to be super polished or try to be a hit game. At least for my first commercial game, I wanted to learn all the processes involved in order to get the whole picture. From then on, I could try to improve on here and there. At least my vision should be delivered, this is my goal other than just study the process. So basically I'm not aiming for the perfect game. This should reassured you that there will be the game publish in the near future.

Having dash was my plan, but I didn't have time to implement it in the jam. Otherwise fighting the boss would be much easier than now.

Well I won't claim to be the best here, but I sure know where I wanted my game to be. The final game might not be to your liking though, since it'd be a lot faster paced than this version. I think it's probably like at least 3x faster overall with more variety in playstyle. Though it's still in the planning phase, I think the jam version kinda represent a glimpse of my vision. You can read the postmortem for further detail. Make sure to follow my account for further update so you won't miss a chance to be amongst the first group of people to play my first commercial game.

I'm using Windows 10 pro x64. You probably gotta work around W11 yourself. I heard people talked that W11 actually got a lot of problems, so it's likely that.

There is also another possible solution. It's the general requirements for games, it's the c++ framework or something I can't remember. But in modern windows it's something that already installed, that's why I didn't include along with the game to minimize the download size.

Maybe your firewall or antivirus is too potent. Well the game made from Unreal Engine 4.27. As for my transparency, it should be clear enough that I have no hidden agenda. If you really want to play, maybe try using virtual machine without antivirus. Or if you're fine with not playing it, there is a gameplay video which I made already on the game page.

yes, but I'll focus on making the combat fun enough for the commercial version first. Other stuffs can be just 'mid'.

ue 4.27, because my PC = potato.

The full album of the songs will be release along with the full game. Some individual singles might be published alongside marketing stuffs to enhance the vibe.

About the target range. Well it's hard to change in this version because I made the tutorial dummies to be this way and it'd messed up if I made the range too high. Though mana blade is surely worth using, but you're at the higher risk when facing against the boss just to use it.

I'm still working on the next version. If you're interest you could read the postmortem.

Thanks for playing my game.

I have the gameplay video :D

Nice game.

Sound setting bugged. If you access the setting again or click the credit, the sound settings will reset to 0. So in order to avoid this problem, I had to set the sounds and start the game.

I didn't play until the end because I'm not available after this.

congrats on having the update. Unfortunately I'm no longer available for play test since I'm getting into the flow state of game development.

Thank you for playing. If you wondered how would I further continued with the game, you can read the postmortem.

The first thing I collect was the bomb....well the bomb is rather too potent for this size of level though. Maybe it need to have smaller AoE and it's obviously need the time reduction when it's on the ground because the area restriction is basically the hardest thing in this type of games.

I think this should be enough.

It's NOT a shooting game. The boss is challenging even for me whom knew every nook and cranny of the game, though it's partly because the lack of dash ability, it's also because the over-tuned damage of the AoE skill.

It's actually reliable and consistent. The mechanics bound with the animation itself, so if you're spamming too much it'll be cancelled. Though it's my false for not placing restrictions properly, but it's also opened for some funny exploitation which allowed higher dps than it's supposed to do.

Well I already have plans to update the game thanks for all the people trying out and given some feedbacks :D

Thanks for making the video for my game as well. :D

I actually have a solution for the spawning problems including the ones you didn't mention. But I don't know how to deal with the "clunky" controls. Maybe it's because the animations are too slow, so it feels like some old RPG games out there. I actually feels the same if you're talking about this exact thing. I'd need to find a good way to find the right pace for the game. As for the target-lock distance....well I actually have no idea how to explain it. Maybe make indicator to show if the enemies are within the range, I think this should be good enough.

Well at least make the chasing progress more obvious. I mean it's possible for me to try and utilize  all the abilities to win it, but when there is no obvious progress in sight, I wouldn't have the motivation to continued. It's like you're walking in the desert without a GPS and only old school compass.

Well I could've finished the game within 3-5 minutes at most if I knew that the card game wasn't part of the puzzle. Or even if it is, I wouldn't know when did I solve it.

The overall aesthetic is nice, but I wasted 22 minutes on that stupid card game.

Well I watched him before I came here to try it myself :D

oh I see, so this is part of the damage. That's unfortunate.

It's a good philosophical game that invite players to think. But ideally it'd be nice to give some sense of meaning into the player's action. Though I understood that the premise is just "the end is here, it's pointless to do anything".

Well the aesthetic is nicely done in capturing the old games. I'm kinda miss the GBA era a bit.

Sure, keep working on it.

did you forget to loop the music?

Also there is no sound effects for the game.

The aesthetic is nice but the lack of visual feedbacks kinda bring down the "juiciness" of the game.

The game is kinda laggy though, maybe try to figure out something.

This type of game is good, but with 360 degree defending, it'd make people feels nauseat after a while.

The aesthetic is nice but the game is very hard though.

It's hard to control and the spell is kinda unreliable.

Melee is the only reliable thing to deal with the knights, but it's not good to win the game.

I don't know why Eric's life got lower when the knights hit the stuffs and not him. Kinda frustrating on this matter.

It could potentially become a good game. You just need to focus on having consistent rules and reliable abilities.
