Thank you so much for recording this! I dropped a comment to your youtube video. Thanks! <3 

This is very valuable feedback, thank you so much! There is still a lot to do with the balance of the game, but with this comment I may have some ideas how to do it. 

But also, the "did I take hit?" - is something that people seem to be confused. I need to make the effect more clearer!

非常感谢你这么认真、详细的反馈！

你的建议里有很多非常有价值的内容，我会认真参考，并尽可能在正式发售前把其中更多想法加入到游戏里。

游戏将于 9月3日 在 Steam 正式发售，希望发售后还能看到你继续来玩！

Thank you for playing until the level 22 <3 Currently there is content only for 22 levels, but more will be added for the Steam release on September 3rd: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5076690/Incremedieval/

I'm sorry for this.. I left that hotkey there by accident. It's now removed within the latest update. 

Currently yes! More levels will be added later!

I just addressed these things within the latest update: Slimes are not that difficult and dead skulls are less visible

Thank you so much for playing until level 22 already! I Didn't expect people to actually survive that far within this early build, but you did!

The level amount is currently capped at lvl 22 but more will be added!

I just updated the game, in case you want to try the new systems. Just reset the data from the settings!

THE JESTERJAM HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!

I welcome everyone warmly to have fun with making something COMPLETE within a month. No matter the size, quality or the outcome of your project. It’s about making something that you can call more or less complete before the jam ends.

And while at it, let’s try to challenge ourselves to learn something new! 

For further discussions & communication, be sure to join our Discord (use: #one-game-a-month-gamejam -channel)

Rules:

There are no rules. Except you should start a new project for this jam. If you decide to use pre-made assets, be sure to mention it in the submission.

The evaluation criteria:

The ranking and evaluation will be determined how immersive and fun your game is. Immersive and fun does not necessarily mean high quality art assets or complicated mechanics: It’s about building a world that feels ’real’. 

We also evaluate how well you built the game, by making it as bug free as possible.

Prices:

You can read more about the prices within a separate topic.(These prices are just for fun, but obviously has some actual value as well!)

Inspiration:

If you’re looking for inspiration for the jam project, maybe consider reading the first chapter of my book: ”Indie Game Developers Handbook: Roots of our Craft” - You can download the PDF HERE. (Join as a free member to download)

Communication:

All communication will happen on our Discord channel. Be sure to join there! I will also stream as much as I can within the month. If you’re interested to watch the streams, be sure to follow my Twitch channel HERE.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN! 

I'm happy to announce the prices for the jam! Unfortunately, there will be no money prices but Steam keys worth over 20 dollars!

• Winner will receive the full catalog of games from the "Shipping 24 Games in 24 Months'challenge (8 games in total)
• Second and third places will get three games from the catalog (Getting Stronger, Seeker Shrine & Seeker Quest)

Remember to join our Discord for further discussions. The JAM IS SOON TO BEGIN!

Happy to have you onboard! Welcome :) Interesting to see what you can build with Renpy: It's totally unknown for me (until today)

1. Klaus 'The Jester'

2. Working solo

3. I'm going to make a top-down shooter inspired from "Everything is Crab" -game

They throw more buttons around the area! But seems like I need to make it more clearer for the player what they do :) Thanks for testing the game! <3

That's super good investigation, thank you. I'll try to address this within the next update!

Thanks a lot for reporting this! I'll need to take a look into that. Can you still move cards, but just cant equip/play/sell them? Or are the cards totally unusable?

Answering this helps me to understand that is the whole drag-drop feature disabled, or is it a deeper problem.

That's super awesome! <3 Tell me why (*Backstreet boys playing in the background*)

Thank you very much for the video! <3 Helps so much to see some "external gameplay" to understand better how people play the game. :)

Hello everyone who've decided to attend the jam, it's AWESOME to have you here!

#Jesterjam3 will be running for the weekend (Starting in 1,5 hours when writing this). You can use just a couple of ours to make your fun little game, or maybe even go all in and use all the time possible? Anyhow, the two rules apply:

• 1. Use theme "Friends" when designing/developing your game
• 2. Have fun while doing!

Our Discord channel can be used to either ask help, join a team or just for casual chatting while developing your game(s). Join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/hdZXeMJ

Once the jam is over, we will have one week of voting time to find the winner for the jam. Let's see if we can figure out some fun prizes as well before the voting ends. :)

Yet again, awesome to have you here and have a great jam everyone!

We just added some nice fixes for the game, would be great if you have the time to try it again! Currently looking for more "pixelated" font and aiming to make the death travel system more faster.

Oh hey, thank you VERY MUCH for the comments! <3 I will absolutely take a look into your suggestions right away. :)

Greetings everyone!

Decided to start writing a devlog from the ground up from my experiences in making a game on itch.io. For past couple of years I've been learning to use Construct 3 to understand programming logic and how a game should be structured (in code). So far so good, the learning process has come into a situation, that I could actually start creating something "real". 

I've been in the game industry for almost ten years now working as an artist, designer, project manager and producer but never had a chance to do programming. Of course I've been releasing games for mobile and PC and seen the "both sides" of the industry. Now, when thinking what kind of a game should I personally make, I'm struggling to make the right decision. ... Why?

Game industry today is focusing more and more to mobile game development, since that's where the money is. Of course mobile is much more casual friendly, which in most cases means that the players are not seeking for "deep experiences" from the gameplay, it's more of an "something I can do while waiting a bus". PC gamers, of course are the opposite, who seek deep experiences from their games and something, in which they can put hundreds or maybe thousands of hours game time. 

I personally fit into the latter "focus group" and I'm always trying to seek that "one game" which I could dedicate my time to. I don't even know anyone, who plays casual mobile games, I personally don't play them and I have no idea what kind of person does so. So how could I be able to create entertaining casual mobile games, if I don't know anything about them and don't understand their player?

I've been trying different kind of casual game mechanics, but end up being uninspired from them and keep on thinking of different PC games I could be creating. So the question is, should I just go with PC games and do what I'm personally interested, or try to follow "the money" to mobile?

What are your thoughts on this? When answering, stop for a moment and think that if you're supposed to make the living out of making games, what would be the best option and why? It's always easy to say "follow your dreams" and so forth, but in the end, it's not that simple. Or is it?

And hey, remember to join my gamejam next weekend! It's 24th of this month and will last for 24 hours! https://itch.io/jam/jestercraft-game-jam-1 Hope to see you jamming, have a great week!

Greetings game jammers!
