We have a Tetris game based on a Japanese arcade series that is fairly far along in development. Most of the core logic is there, our single player modes are almost complete, local multiplayer is functional and we are about to start online multiplayer testing.

What we don’t have is assets. We’re looking for someone who can create animated looping backgrounds for each section that will display behind the game board. They could basically be done however you’d like, we aren’t using an engine so they’d probably be put in as videos or something. There may also be a bit of UI stuff or small things like icons for medals awarded to players etc.

In terms of style, we would probably prefer to loosely base the design on the original series, so backgrounds would perhaps be biological/industrial/space themes.

Here is a short clip of the game for context:

Why not accept the submission? It’s barely late, there is no prize pool for the jam, and it’s fairly standard for other jams to have a few late submissions to be accepted. 

Hi, I do jungle type stuff if you’d be looking for something like that

I was reading about it a little while ago. As I understand it, there is a licence you need to purchase if you’re using it for commercial releases. However, the licence only applies to the use of content that comes with Bryce. In other words, it can be used freely as long as you’re making your own renders.

I believe you can export .obj files and whatnot, or at least you can in Bryce 7. The main hurdle is that it takes hours to get a high quality render at a resolution that would be suitable to use as a game background, but I guess if you’re not making tons of them it’s probably doable. 

Just a thought anyway, love the aesthetic.

You guys should 100% look into Bryce 3D for background visuals for this, it would be perfect.

Hi.

I have around 5 years of experience making music. Typically I enjoy making Jungle/ Atmospheric DnB type stuff, but I am flexible and can do other things if required. You can check my Itch for jam projects I have worked on previously, both on soundtracks and sound design. 

Here is a commission for a racing game called Hyperboard Extreme that I worked on a little while ago, to give an idea of the music I typically make. If you are looking for an atmospheric/fast paced/racing type soundtrack, I can do it. My Soundcloud has some more examples of previous work too.

I have experience with mixing/mastering other people’s music, handling general sound design, ambience layers, creating sound effects and dynamic audio.

Rates would depend on the scope of the project and what is required, but would be reasonable, particularly for small indie projects.

If you’d like to contact me, I am PMYA on Discord, or alternatively you can email me at spohs@hotmail.co.uk.

Do you plan to keep adding to this game?

There are a handful of meow samples, its part pitched cats and part synths. There are two SH101 patches that play together and the bass kind of has a similar glide/envelope to play off the cat samples. 

I like your drums, very crunchy

Love the Minifreak sounds

I'm not sure how to describe it but I like how neutral sounding it is. Very spacey.

I liked the variety a lot. How did you make the end of the first track?

Neat, I liked the atmosphere, and the second bag of salt in case someone didn't pick it up at the start lmao

Very aesthetically pleasing. I couldn't really figure out a way to not get hit though, I ended up with a train of enemies following me around that I couldn't outrun very well.

This one is my favourite so far, very ambitious for a week long jam. I hope you continue making it.

I like your music a lot

I couldn't seem to progress? The stairs play a sound effect but they don't seem to do anything.

I liked this one, my only real complaints would be that the camera switches are a little jarring at times and I ended up walking in the wrong direction, and the motion blur type effect is a little strong. I liked the puzzles though.

Also I assume I finished but it displayed a game over screen? Does it end after the orb door?

I couldn't get anything to happen? The map just loops back to the centre and I couldn't get any encounters to occur.

Ohhh, I thought it was intentional because it happens in the old Resident Evil games. I believe it is actually a Godot shader thing yeah. Our programmer said it’s being fixed or something though apparently.

I have been flummoxed by the crankshaft, and couldn't progress. The idea is neat though, and I thought the aesthetic was cool. Also, the opening animations were great.

I also got an error unzipping the game but was able to open it, and then got this 

XAudio2.7 is not installed. Make sure you have XAudio 2.7 installed. XAudio 2.7 is available in the DirectX End-User Runtime (June 2010).

I did play it and I couldn't figure out how to progress, it tells me I need the book and sarcophagus but I'm pretty sure I picked them both up?

What were the stars?

It's a small detail but I did love the momentary pause on camera transition. Game controls well and the animations feel smooth considering it is the old RE scheme.

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realise there was no bug with the numbers and I wasn't supposed to enter the 5 digits at the start of the message lmao. Love the aesthetic.

I encountered a strange bug while playing. I had 8 dollars, bet 5 and lost. Somehow losing the hand put me up to 203 dollars. Later, I lost all my money in another hand and went up to over 800 dollars. Is it trying to give me more than 3 dollars so I can bet, but drawing that amount from the wrong place or something?

It is cool though, I like the low poly aesthetic and tbh these sorts of games are like digital crack to me.

I believe your web build is broken? Or perhaps it is only on Firefox. I couldn't see anything except a black screen and the intro text.

I did like this one and I think it could be pretty cool with a bit more polish. I ended up dying about three quarters of the way through and I'm unsure how, I believe I had 12 health and instantly died on next turn. I think a way to see your current deck on the pick cards screen would be helpful potentially. I also had to mute the audio because there was some clipping in the music outside of the boss fights. Making a functional game in this genre in a week is impressive though honestly, well done.

Love the aesthetic and the old school RE play style. I did have a bit of trouble reading some of the text though.

I did struggle to find my way without dying, but I do really like the alternate viewpoint mechanic

I couldn't find what I was looking for, but I did manage to escape the monster by jumping off the map lmao

lmao yeah it gets hectic, honestly checking this one out made me sad I didn’t know about this jam. Tetris Lumines with a jungle soundtrack is pretty much ticking all of my boxes.

If the das was 2-3 times faster this could be a really good game.

I can’t believe you found the +10 thing, that’s crazy lmao. We found it with roughly half an hour to deadline and it didn’t seem to be breaking anything so it stayed in.

It’s odd that you got the mining drone bug. Previously it was caused by buying one before the mission was given, but I’m pretty sure that was fixed so there must be some other cause. Was the drone destroyed audio playing when the ufo came or just randomly? 

Windows 10, it just seemed to freeze and do nothing

clapclapclap

Some of the enemy placement is evil but its still fun. I couldn't figure out what to do in the room with the button thing on the floor though and I got stuck.

The level upgrades, they appear instantly.
