Hi, I'm so sorry but what's happening there is actually a bug that relates to save data getting corrupted :( I don't have time to fix it and the temporary save file replacement fixes I've suggested in the past don't really work.... the only fix that I know that works is completely uninstalling the game and restarting, but I have no idea what exactly causes the corruption so it's really a gamble that you may get stuck in the same section again.

If you'd rather just see the ending (you're practically at the end of the game) someone was very kind to write a review that goes over what happens at the end of the game here: https://knavegaming.com/brkout-review/

Again, I'm so sorry for this issue.

I can't believe I hadn't played it until now, but this was great! I'm fucking angry and I love it!

Thank you for the kind words! And for documenting how the game ends, since it seems like lots of players struggle to complete it. I hope the bugs weren't too bad!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally, a game to remind gamers the importance of bones!

Hi, thanks for your interest!

There isn't anything that I would call an honest jumpscare in this game. Without spoiling, there is one scene with something akin to a sudden sound that could be scary if you have your volume turned up. There are scenes with flickering lights and some violent imagery.

Thank you for the kind words :)

Thanks for buying the Racial Justice bundle! I hope you are enjoying the vast collection of games.

When I submitted this game for inclusion in the bundle I had no idea it would take off as much as it did. Doubly so, I am surprised how many people are taking the time to play this weird experimental game of mine. There's a few things you should know if you intend to play, and some of them are not obvious.

1) Many parts of this game are in service of an ARG that no one played and ended years ago. If there is an unexplained element in the story, you can maybe google it and come across one of several secret online sites related to the topic.

2) I haven't looked at the code for this project in years, and it was made before I actually worked professionally as a programmer so many of my habits were bad and therefore much of the work I did is basically unintelligible now. This means that there are bugs, and I may be able to fix them but it will take a long time and my time is sadly quite limited.

3) The plot of this game is a bit Edgy™ which is sadly to be expected from the result of the sleep-deprived mind of a retail worker. There's nazi stuff, and it absolutely could have been handled better/more respectfully. This game is, however, explicitly anti-nazi.

Once again, thanks for checking this game out, and please get in touch if you have issues or questions.

Hi, thanks for playing!

Unfortunately, this is an issue that occurs with save states in the game, and for some reason this happens to some players. This issue usually only occurs on the Steam version, and can sometimes be fixed by just doing it over and over again. I realize that this is not workable and frustrating. I have looked into this issue many times before and Construct 2 does not offer robust enough debugging tools for me to figure out exactly what is causing this issue. This was my first "big game" and it's likely I made a mistake somewhere, but it's unlikely that I'll be able to find it in time to get an update out soon.

I apologize, please let me know if you do progress eventually, but I also understand if you'd rather drop it.

Side note: I will be pushing an update that will allow people to erase their save shortly. Perhaps the update may solve your issue, but it may only help if you restart :( 
There are some shortcuts in the game though! If you are stuck here then I can take you to the next phase of the game without too much time lost hopefully. Please let me know if you would like to know, as it is a bit of a mechanic spoiler in my opinion.

Please see my response to DemoMash. be sure you're doing what the game asks, this is supposed to be a little bit of a puzzle.

If you have done as the game asks , then it looks like there are some serious issues so I will have to put out an update soon to hopefully fix these issues D:

Hi,

Have you done what the game asks? You have to do something in the folder to continue.

If it is still not working, then that is a critical bug I will need to fix. Looks like I will need to put out an update pretty soon O_O

Thanks for reporting!

Hi,

First of all, thanks for playing! You've gotten pretty far if you're at this point (or you've found one of a few shortcuts... shhh!!) so I hope you've been enjoying the game and you're not too put off by the vague weirdness of it all.

It's been a few years since I updated the game, so I'm afraid I can't offer you an update that will fix this issue immediately because I'm no longer familiar with how it all works. I do know that the flag to continue can be triggered if you simply have the folders on your desktop (assuming your desktop is accessible for files). You will still have to do what the game asks.

Download this ZIP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/124EsYDqeWkTzpXe8Qsd8etA3n3rTGlbZ/view?usp=shari...
It has the folder the game is supposed to generate on your desktop. Simply extract this to the desktop as is (do not put it into a subfolder or anywhere else). 

If this doesn't work, I will look into a bypass solution or attempt to fix the issue. Let me know!

I figure I should say a few things about my submission! This was a semi-failed transmedia project I worked on for a long time between 2015 and 2017. It's an ARG, but it's also an arcade game, and it's also got a bunch of sub-games. The story as presented in the game is extremely vague and it takes a while for it to eventually surface, but many of the folks who played through the ending found it interesting. Since then other games have come along and done similar things in better ways, but I think it's still worth checking out :)

This is exactly what folks said was impossible with Construct 2 only a couple years ago, now here we are! Extremely impressive work!

IT IS A GOOD DAY TO S P I N

I was speaking in the context of using the Construct engine, which loads sprites at incredible speeds in its latest runtime. 

Thanks Jupi!

Hi, I've been using this software for the past week and it's been extremely useful for getting isometric sprites generated. I have two requests to help make this process more painless.

 I would greatly appreciate if this feature were expanded to creating 32 angles and 64 angles for smoother transitions in practice. 

This second one's a little more petty... 

I noticed that when an 8 directional sprite group is generated the naming convention is object_cardinalDirection which imports in the correct order when dragged into Construct 2/3, but files with more than 9 sprites receive the naming convention of object_number which usually get placed out of order since the importer recognizes 10, 11, and 12 as coming before 2 and 21, 22, etc as coming before 3. So when importing a 16 angle export batch as an animation, the frames will be in this order:  0, 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. This is easily remedied by adding zeroes in front forming a three digit number. 001, 002, 003... 010, 012 and so on. This would save time having to reorder frames later on. 

Thanks for your consideration. This product is awesome and I've been recommending it to all of our local gamedev folk in Vermont.

sent to your email :)

Sorry for the delay, I've been extremely busy this week. Messages should go out tonight.

thanks!

Who won?

Well, everyone did!

There are only 5 entries, so why not have five winners?

I will try to reach out to you, but if I don't please email me at fisher@smugames.com!

Congrats all!

thank you

Wow, this is remarkably polished for a jam game! Well done!

When you can't find any good CC0 music... beatbox!!!!!

Wow! This really went above and beyond, good job!

Hey all! Thanks for participating in this! In the future I hope to do more jams like this and attract more folks.

Voting begins at midnight! (20 minutes from now)

Be sure to share your game far and wide!

Congrats! I'm excited to play once I get my submission in :D

Thanks for contributing anyway! Hope your finals go well!

Just to clarify, you can make as many games as you want and win prizes for each of those games! 

It is entirely possible for one person to sweep the jam, but that's not the point of it.

Thanks for joining up, and I'll see you at the finish line!

Again, this is a very low pressure jam. Don't feel the need to do any all-nighters, smaller games are better for this sort of thing.

If you have any questions on rules or guidelines, post em here and I'll do my best to answer quickly!

Hello all,

There are prizes this jam, though they are little. 

They will consist of game keys for smol indie games on itch.io.

Think Memoir En Code: Reissue, Lieve Oma, and Hylics. I will give the winners a choice of their own!

I will be contacting those of you with winning entries (there can be up to five winners, a winner for each category) after it is done!

A game can win more than one category, and they will receive that many prizes!

Thanks for joining, I'll see you when submissions start!

I'm glad I used the keyboard for this game.

I needed the keyboard to play this game.

He's in the states now.
