I had fun exploring and the Links awaking vibes are super strong. I wish there was more enemy variety, or items to collect, but the random generated dungeon was really impressive as is. I kinda hope to see more of this as a complete game!
I was going for a 'classic' arcade feel so just destroy all you can without getting destroyed yourself, was the objective.
The Vanguard PC Build.zip has the fullscreen .exe game the browser version was more for mobile (it bigger on bobile) so you can kinda get a feel for what the game is like in the mobile compilation. But I should have made that more clear.
I couldn't help but notice the window for voting is over.
Is there an ETA for knowing when the results be announced? Will they be posted here or on the YouTube channel? Or when the completed app will be available? I'm excited to see!
Yea a month was just right. As someone who works 7 days a week, I can only dedicate hour or two a day, so these short weekend jams would be impossible for me. I don't think I'm the only one either. I once did a 3 Month Jam, which I suffered from so much burnout at the end that I actually stopped working on my main projects till several months after.
While I was ok with posting the .mfa myself, I think for everyone else's peace of mind either set up a private way for submitting those, or have it clear in the Jam rules that the whatever you make is to be publicly available, and recommend using public domain assets only?
Unfortunately I don't know enough on the Window Control Object, but I agree with givemeskeletons just make the game without the 'Handheld Controller Source' and just have the window of the exe be 256X144 to at least be within the rules of the Jam. If you want to keep the global variables for button mapping just copy over the events 26-39 into your app somewhere and it will still work.
The game is being rebuilt from the ground up. The version that was up on here was from 2023 and was buggy and very different from current version's gameplay. Will be relaunching the game in the next few months.
Sorry I missed this. I don't have a timeline just yet, but I made significant strides in optimizing the game in preparation for a possible mobile port.
There is a long standing issue where games made with Clickteam can trigger false positives. In next version I made a change that should hopefully work better. In the meantime you may need to add an exception rule to your antivirus.
