have a few more feature ideas now after using it a lot more. will keep updating this reply and top post when I have new ideas. ideas will crossed out when added. 

Extra features:
1. music data export, add .ust, .kar (MIDI-Karaoke) and Lyric Meta-Event format support to match phonemes
2. closest rhyme match dictionary, for selected phonemes on the piano roll (changes your next phonemes into the result)

3. save export project path for current session and reimport
4. version numbering option for "export project" menu
5. importing lyrics from midis (see Extra Features. 1) to match with notes

Good way to learn binary. I think Lazy Developer is good right?

So far it's pretty good, but have a few feature requests.

1. option to make copied output paste to cursor and/or playhead
2. importing pitch bends from midi files
3. editing the phonetic content multiple notes in bulk (good for changing whole chords)

did pretty good lol. Pretty fun, I like the vaporwave aesthetic.

it will change attributes to be used in the next hexes. I didn't realize at the time it would've been an option to apply status spells globally. Thank you for the compliment on the art, I was very inspired by that Edmund Newgrounds style.

This is crazy for a gamejam man.

I like this. this game is short and sweet (no pun intended). I don't think there's really much to do after making cakes though, but that's kind of the point of an idle/tycoon game.

I think you have a good game idea here. the game is kinda fun at the start, but you can scale too fast and it will just get boring after a while. I'd recommend making scale relative to your stats. more health = enemies, more vision = enemies move closer etc.

Been using raylib for about probably ~2 years. really have enjoyed this jam and making a fun game out of it. I kindly thank you for making library -- that's easy to make games and multimedia apps in C, with an easy API to bind to.

The template does have web build instructions.

If I made an engine (used for another game) before hand that binds raylib in a low level style -- in a scripting language almost no difference than using C. does it still count as valid for the jam or should I just make a new project from scratch?

maybe add a "Share" button at the top area by the "Contact" button. might try to make it look pretty and eye catching, so someone clicks on it

Enjoyed for a while and somehow I got stuck here (at level 11)


I wish the game maybe started of with more stuff to do, maybe sounds would help. it did get better as I played though.

Here's my score at the end:

Thanks for the comment! with the hitbox thing, it might be due to running out of gas, maybe missing or not collecting... the player hitbox was meant for hazards and was made thin, so I could see this happening. I haven't seen a gameplay gif so, I really can't tell for certain.

Implementing an extra bit sub-text to the "GAME OVER" screen would likely be helpful (e,g, "GAME OVER" "(ran out of gas)" and "(hit by hazard)").

I'll try your game when I can, like the style from what I'm seeing in the preview.

Fun game! didn't take too long to figure out.

I now figured out the speed didn't increase properly, and it feels completely different now that I fixed it (in my working build). I guess that's what happens with badly implemented code.

"They've gone to plaid"

Thanks for the feedback. keeping the game simple is the best thing you can do.

Without using a full engine you kinda work with your own paradigm/limitation more than anything else. I try new frameworks to see what I like, so far stuff like Raylib, LÖVE & Ebitengine seem to be the sweet spot, low overhead of dealing with engine specific problems.

Anyway, looking at the clouds it seems they are scrolling forwards, and background scrolls slowly which may not noticeable when you are moving a lot.

got to 1002,29 and it said "Quit Already!" lol

I was kinda thinking like some missions. maybe like GTA, maybe a bit like Crazy Taxi.

I think you didn't get what the limitation is (tbh I didn't either at first, lucky my game matched). it's there is no end---speed is the theme (yeah it's confusing ik), I guess you could maybe consider beating your own PBs (personal bests), as a part of that idea.

Overall I love the presentation (great for a 2 day jam). I think this character might be better for some other type of game; surfers don't generally surf on land (lol).

 Took me awhile to figure out the movement but got the hang out it. honestly I don't feel the speed. maybe if I try again it might feel a bit different. 

This was kinda confused about the edge in beginning part

I thought this was a level design choice.

I think it should been one button. forward + dash would makes you dash forward for example.


Anyway here's my time:

the FAQ mentions this:

(I have code or other assets from other projects I wish to use, are these allowed?)

"[...] anything that wasn't made specifically for this particular jam such as code from other projects or assets from asset packs are allowed, provided you have the legal rights to use them in your project."

so yes it's allowed.

Seems like I was able to do it :D

I'm basically making this thing from scratch (only ebitengine, except for some pieces of code used in other projects). enemies aren't (fully) implemented and you can't really die except for gas. honestly I shouldn't really just be diving into random genres I don't really have experience in for 48h jams, but I heard there's something for late games though.

I've done LÖVE games before. it usually isn't that hard redistribute files. I would always start that in middle to late in development, that's usually about 65% finished, but that's relative to developer ideals and to do list. I watched the finale video and it seems they over-complicated it. you can just distribute the source file (.love renamed from .zip). I don't know what's the hold up is. someone mentioned no working version was created, but looking the footage it seems (mostly and fairly) finished. since I have no say in the development state it's just my opinion.

NOTE: I am aware do sound a bit blunt here, but it comes from my personal experience. I understand that everyone figures out this stuff at their own pace; I just wish there was a devlog update on the itch.io page or a social media post by Teej.

man this game is so fire

You didn't submit your game properly sadly.

Your page looks like this on the top right
My page looks like this in the same place. note the item highlighted in a red box.



EDIT: nvm you were aware of this fact

Give it a try see what you think
https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-14/rate/3837386

I forgot to mention that. at the time I didn't internalize I could move or delete it.

I'm stuck here lol

I enjoyed this (ending is really funny). this feels almost Steam game territory, with more than one ending and more items it could work.

Speaking of more items I have a few item suggestions.

  • Pouch - Adds 2 extra slots (only appears once)
  • D20 - Adds an extra die with 20 sides. (appears very rarely)
  • Quarter - If it's heads 2x score, if it's tails then nothing. (activates after the main score is calculated)

I think it's a bit difficult but, that's just me. I think it's enjoyable. I don't really like getting thrown back to beginning before I've fully figured out the last level. otherwise fairly enjoyable. as of writing this I'm only on level 2.

Usually in a couple minutes.

I would recommend at least making a web build if you can. but it's not required.

C++ and raylib (a library for making games)

(1 edit)

I think I've decided to make a new one anyway (within the jam), probably with a bit of copied boilerplate + libraries.
