So, first of all, I was a little  bummed out that I didn't place at least top 5 in the hard mode jam. 

But decided to look back at some of my older speed game entries and dig up some old CDN forum emails and Internet Archive my way through some of the old CDN forums to try to encourage myself. 

I mean, it really hit me in the feels! 

I remember, back in the day, (when I didn't place top 3  back in the Forum days... )  I always told myself, that a prize is nice, but you are using your skills & talents for the Lord and that is a reward in itself. Looking back, I wasn't here when Speed game started, but ever since I found out about it, about a week from when the entries were due in 2011, I have done my best to enter each speed game from that point and  15 years later, I'm still at it! It kinda made me tear up a bit!   15 out of 20 speed games is likely some kind of CGDC record or something like that...

So now, I have to do something BIG for the 20th anniversary! From the 3 verses presented, I wanted to see if there was a way I could combine them. But then I was thinking, maybe I could make 2 entries like I did  back in 2014? I vaguely remember overhearing that maybe I should remake an older entry I made?   I started playing around with Farclip.ai, and really wish I had taken the time out to use it for my Hard Mode entry. Still brainstorming, but will start  soon! 

God Bless!

Thanks for this video!

No, I didn't use farclip.ai, but may try to implement it for my speed game classic entry

Hey all, was so busy jamming I forgot to make a devlog!

So basically I worked on the game  on 5-24-2026 from maybe 6pm  - 2pm and on 5-25-2026 from 9am - 5pm.

So the idea is basically you play as Adam and have to find and name the animals. I know that God brought all the animals to Adam to name, but needed some kind of gameplay mechanic...

So you walk, run, jump maybe slide, to  follow the green arrows to find the next animal to name.

So, when combining several unity assets from the unity asset store , there is always the fear that the next asset may break your project.

Didn't really run into that until 5-25, when   I tried to import the Footstepper asset and nothing I did could make it  work. I spent almost 2 hours playing around with it and I gave up.

Then there was the lovely , what you see in the editor is not what you see in the final build, when I exported to windows.

Some of the Credits text  was in 2 columns and in the editor was fine and was not lining up correctly in the Windows build, so I decided to only use a single line for the credits, which was a great workaround.

When I exported the WebGL version it was kinda sluggish so I went about deleting extra trees, and grass and flowers and removing any post processing effects. Come to find out that removing the grass enabled the footstep sound fxs to work, at least on the terrain, and not really but maybe if you squint on the water.

Did managed to speed up the WebGL version a bit, but still seems a bit slow in some more densely covered tree areas.

Originally there were to be about 30 (sets of) animals to find, but due to time constraints that number was lowered to 20.

I was glad Audiohero had a nice version of 'All Creatures of our God and King" 

I had almost 6 kids ask to mow my lawn as I worked on my game development, either meaning they are trying to make a quick buck or my lawn looks really bad, but now that I'm done, I don't want to mow my lawn...

Good luck and God Bless    to everyone jamming out!

Thanks for joining the Black History Jam 2026! 

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for the kind words! For the record, I support going to therapy, but the underlying theme I was trying to portray was that when people don't agree with you or your point of view, they may or will brush you off as you just needing to go to therapy or that you just need to take your meds, without actually trying to see why you are saying or feeling the way that you are. I guess I failed in trying to communicate that subtly. Again thanks for playing!

ok, so today I scribbled down the character dialogs and then typed them up and then ran the typed dialogs through some AI voice generators ( DeepVoice Pro - Text To Voice from the Unity asset store and VideoExpress.Ai, by the same team that made Artistly.Ai) This part was fun to come up with and not so much fun to type out and organize into folders. But pretty much all the needed assets have been created, now on to actually putting it all together into an actual visual novel! Almost forgot, before I went to bed yesterday, I use an Ai music generator to make all the music for the game (SuperMusic.Ai) i'll see if I can embed one of them here!

So I know I was supposed to do my design doc on friday but ran into some issues. But I did manage to pin down the type of game I'll be making, which will be a visual novel type game, to put moreso of an emphasis on the dialog and story. I dunno, still working on the actual dialogs but have a good idea of what the message for the story will be. I did use some AI tools to create the players and backgrounds, will share some of these shortly. Looking at Ai voices for the characters and Ai music's for the background music. Seems like I am going all in with Ai for this one! Ai images made with Artistly.Ai 

So excited to be developing another cgdc speedgame! So choosing the verse of Col. 2:17, it really leaves open to interpretation about the shadow of things to come. Hopefully, I can do this theme justice with my game, I have a lot of ideas and will really need to focus and get my design document down to prevent feature creep. Hope to have design doc done by Friday! God bless to all the game jammers!

Thanks all for the interest in my game! So far, still no title, but the game objective is you are a Hiker who is searching for fireflies in the dark. You find 20 of them to win the game. Mostly everything is setup, gameplay wise, no enemies due to time constraints, need to find music and come up with a title. Here's a screenshot of my progress so far.  The big yellow sparkly thingy is my version of a firefly. The game feels almost too dark, from certain angles but not others. Here's to hoping it gets finished in time!

Hi all, this will be my dev log for speed game hard mode. So far, I know I wanted some type of 3D platformer type game but was tinkering around with the Jan Ott Character Movement Fundamentals character controller (GitHub - Jan-Ott/CharacterMovementFundamentals: A physics-based character controller system for Unity) (it was a Unity Asset I bought but has since been open sourced by the creator). I want the game to take place in a dark level where you need to find all the lights to win the game. The character controller did not have any collectible items, so I have been trying to get it to play nice with another Unity Asset I just picked up, Floating Loot and Collect System (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/floating-loot-and-collec...) So far, so good, but I still have a way to go! 

Thanks for joining the Jam! Can't wait to see what you create!

Thanks for submitting! Can't wait to play it!

Thanks for joining the Jam! Can't wait to see what you make

Yeah, wish I had the source code version of the asset, then I could change the controls. I may look into seeing if I can hook either incontrol or rewired into it for some traditional controls.

Thanks! I'm not sure what's going on with the Web version, I had to wait about 45-50 seconds for it to load in Microsoft Edge, but I never got a loading bar.

ok so a bit of progress this morning, sa i didn't really have a chance to do much yesterday other than get my character and some props together. Today managed so far to select the environment for the game. So far game s still untitled but it has a hero and an enemy! So say hello to Caleb the Christian Clown! So the animatroics at the Barry Funhouse Bear Family Resturant have gotten a new AI update that has made them go completely bonkers! They even filled the resturant with balloons! And right before the birthday party for the kids that are allergic to balloons! Pop / collect the balloons and stop the haywire animatronics before the resturant opens! I hope to be done sometime today as I have a family event to attend today and on tomorrow!

So, after spending most of the day trying to come up with some idea of what kind of game I wanted to make, I just recently decided to base my game on a bible text about strength through weakness. The text I decided to base my game on is 1 Corinthians 1:27  "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" Just started jotting some notes, can't wait to get started! The concept will be sure to get a few laughs... God bless and good night all!

Sure thing! The more black history games the better! Thanks for asking for the time to be extended!

It's under the Unity 5 releases.

Unity 2019.2.21 Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Unity  5.6.7f1

Thanks for the feed back! You can fly by using the f key and  your mouse orwit h x button and right joystick on xbox 360 controller, should work with xbox one controller too! God bless!

Thanks! I really should have given myself more time to work with it as I only used 2 hours before the deadline, but  I'm happy I was able to submit something, and I will try to do a better job of time management for next year's Jam!

Thanks for the review! I really only had about 2 hours before the deadline to work on my entry and it looks and feels rushed. I will try to do a better job of testing and project planning for my next entry!

Thanks for the review! Unfortunately I was really rushing my entry 2 hours before the deadline, and I didn't get a chance to really test and polish. Next time I'll be sure to not submit until I test first!

Managed to change from a speed-based platformer (like Sonic) to a traditional platformer (like Mario). Making some headway, pleased with my results so far but pacing myself so i don't get burned out. 

Just a tiny update, so sunday i spent most of my time on my speedgame hard mode entry,  monday i didn't feel well and spent most of the day in bed, today i feel much better  but since its a holiday, not sure if  i'll get a chance t work on anything or if i'll be visiting family. i'll try to post again sometime today, God bless!

So today was my 2nd day of work and not liking what I am seeing so far, using enviro weather and it looks nice especially the day-to-night cycle,  but the quality of the stage is really bad looking and an open hilly type area really does not work well with a speed based character like a sonic type. Not sure but I may scrap this idea and come up with another. May try a different level and see how I feel about how it plays. 

Hello all, just now getting some free time to start working on my entry. Trying to not let feature creep get the best of me and still leave myself some breathing room for hard mode for this weekend. Using the verse Psalm 27:1-2 I wanted to do something like a smaller version of Sonic Frontiers, so I'll see how that goes, using the Sonic Speed Controller from the Unity Asset Store and trying to find a halfway decent environment to run around in that's not too small and not too big. I tried to prototype some stuff but the environments so far tested were either too small or too new, as I am trying to keep the Unity version to 2019.2.21 so I can port it to the Ouya for the 10-year Ouya anniversary Jam too. To be continued!

Nice!

Thanks for the reply, I just uploaded Windows, MacOS, and Linux versions. Enjoy!

Thanks RogueDog! Its a proof of concept mainly and not really anything to use as an actual OS. Just figured I'd see what would it be like to kinda use my OUYA like a pc!

Thanks KRAZ! Its more so a proof of concept than an actual useable OS, I did rush somethings to make sure I made the deadline and the creator of the UI did say official mobile support is in the works, so I may jut wait until its posted and try to see if I can backport that version to work with OUYA!

I had not thought of making a discord channel! Let me research on how to make one and I'll post a link here once it's up! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the kind words! Also if you click the gear in upper left corner while playing the game and click on the song note button you can mute the music! Then you can click on the 'Go!' button to play the game again!

You can double / spin flip jump to get a bit of extra height on your jump.

Press jump button and press it again in the air.

Thanks!
