I'm glad you enjoyed it! ^_^

For the animated cover I took footage of the 3D scene I made and made it a gif and then uploaded it as the cover image for the project


I really liked the atmosphere and style! Although the "scampering" sound is a little off for the walking sound lol it sounds like rat scampering around or like birds flapping in your ear. Feels too fast for the speed you are walking. But besides that I liked it!

Thank you! I appreciate that. 

Yeah I actually wanted to have more gameplay too. Originally I was going to have this be in a 3D scene so I could mess with the player more. But since I'm still new to Godot, I just could not figure it out lol and I ended up just going the 2D route. Which I got stumped on how I could mess with the player enough, I wanted it to be more psychological then just simple "Jumpscare, Loud sound" scary. But I eventually was like ehh this is boring (hence that one scene lol). Also 3 (minus one day I lost trying to figure out the 3D idea) days to make all the assets, music, think of gameplay/story, is stressful. I was rushin' lol. 

I am glad you enjoyed it tho! 

  • You can use things created outside of the jam in your entry. However, the entry must have been worked on during the jam. You can't submit a previous project that you are doing no work on whatsoever. 他人が作ったデジタル・アセットを使ってもいい。”

This game was published on the 1st of October and the jam started on the 21st. Don’t get me wrong I think the game is cool, just broke a jam rule tho which I guess don’t matter since the host doesn’t care. Even had my comment deleted for calling this out before. 

It's stuff like this that I always hope to find or see when I open up itch.io. I love the aesthetic of this in every sense, the CD album art, the screenshots of the CRT, the surreal dream-like music and exploration of the game.The vibe was awesome. I was feeling sad before this, I feel a little better now after playing. Thank you. 

Thanks for the feedback! ^_^ Yeah it definitely can be loopy without a counter melody lol and with the mix it could've sounded better if I didn't use an soundfont of an older pokemon game (also depends on how well the person ripped the sounds from the game too for the soundfont for sound quality of the instruments) but I do agree! 

Thanks for the feedback! ^_^ Yeah you can blame the soundfont for the muddy kick drum with the crackling, I used the same exact soundfont of the game the song I imitated the style of is from and the game is an older pokemon game so it's not going to have the cleanest sound in the world lol I also purposely made the bass overpowering because that's how the bass in the imitated song is too because the bass acted pretty much as the main melody in the imitated song with the chords acting as a background compliment that comes together as one, so I just imitated the style and did the same even though I feel like my bass line doesn't have much of a melody to it like the imitated song does. 

Listen, this is why I hate giving "any" kind of "advice" of how to improve someones song, because i think any song someone makes is an expression of themsleves, which makes it unique, but I think what I said offended you enough to go and accuse my song of breaking the rules for some reason. I'm sorry for offending you, my song is an original and I don't think I'm going to giving constructive critism to anyone else who submits a song because dang, I don't want to be a villian ;O; 

huh? This is an original track and this isn’t a remake of the original song I was trying to imitate? Have you even listened to the song I was trying to imitate lol? 

I like the vibe of this song, gives me this like "exploration" vibe and conquering new areas. My critique is probably the balance of the sound, I feel like the main lead and bassoon? in the background are a bit too loud for the marimba chord progression in the background. Also the marimba too feels out of place with the other instruments, it's like the song is battling between trying to be a coastal beach vibe with the marimba's but also a fanfare with the main lead and bassoon melody. I think if you switched the marimba's with a different instrument and also sped up the marimba chord progression too with the new instrument it would fit the main vibe more. I'm terrible at construction critisim so hopefully that helps lol.

Thanks for the feedback ^_^ Yeah in the song I was trying to imitate “WiFi Connection” it doesn’t have much variation either or as long which is probably why it came out like this since that’s what I was ear listening to like hearing what instruments they used and how long each segment was. I tried to find some other instrument to accompany it too but the soundfont just didn’t have anything that sounded good with it for me lol. 

Nice deleting my comment for calling out your game for breaking the jam rules, I'ma going to keep reporting it. 

Peak writing, but I didn't like how the directions in the top left corner disappear so quickly, I have a bad memory so I easily forgot what I was supposed to be doing, loved it tho!

Lol yeah I'm bad with missing some spelling errors lol, but I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully we can work together in the future sometime!

I definitely feel what you about keeping the scope managable especially for a solo dev, usually I like to do everything myself as well. But I've started coming to a realization that maybe I need to branch out more haha. 

Portfolio wise, here's 2 videos of projects with music I've done. I also have game ideas (especially the pain prototype one I definitely want to finish that someday): 

And of course thank you for your cool game and storytelling! 

I really loved this, especially the ending. The atmosphere was immersive and great. I wish it had more moments with dahlia to make the player feel more connected to her but I know that's a lot to do dev wise. Thanks for making this cool game. Would love to be a composer for any future project you have. Cheers!

I don't usually put myself out there since I tend to usually work alone, but I figured it would be good to try to work with others for once lol. I can make ambient silent hill typic music and horror like music just give me the vibe you are looking for and I'm sure I can do it. 

Here's an example of some ambient work I've made on a project I was doing that I never finished: 

I'll probably just shelve it since game jams are a big motivator in working on a game for me, least now I know the reality of how long 3D takes for future jams lol and can take that into consideration next time 

Hi, so I took on a big challenge for this game jam which was to make my first 3D game even though I'm still new to Blender and even newer to the 3D side of Godot. And after 5 days I realized making all the models from scratch, even learning how to animate a character walking in blender is so much more time consuming then I thought it was. Also not to mention the pains of learning how to properly implement it into Godot with textures and also learning about lighting and collisions. 

BUT: Basically the game was going to be about going outside where the air is toxic and you only have a limited (finite quantity) amount of time to explore to find enough rations to be able to move on from the location (freedom). 

I am not going to be able to finish it in time for it to feel completed (heck all you can do right now is just explore and walk around lol). 

So I was wondering, should I even post this and submit it still? Should I even post it even if it's not finished and barely has any gameplay yet? 

Here's footage of basically what it looks like right now with music made by me too:

Thank you! I definitely am going to try to finish this, my idea right now is I might make it into a 3D visual novel game instead now that I have time to experiment with like camera angles and what not, so hopefully that works out lol

Thank you! I'm still going to try to finish this game but I definitely plan on joining more jams and will look out for others you mentioned, I need to play the other cool games I saw that were posted for this game jam, I love seeing the artist expression of everyone <3

Hi everyone, I joined this jam pretty late and wasn't able to finish my project in time (did that to myself for joining late lol). But I just wanted to share footage of what I basically came up with so far. I usually make my games by myself with music, art, story so it takes me longer. Not sure if I'll work on it more since I'm bad at finishing projects, but here's 30 seconds of gameplay lol.

I really like the gameplay mechanic with the scale and jumping, it definitely got harder and harder for me lol. I also LOVE aesthetic and music for this <3

This is a silly and fun take on golf lol, I could see people breaking these mouses gettin' crazy with trying to aim the ball right

I was liking it but the game is way too loud and the master volume tab in the settings even all the way turned down doesn't even work lol so I couldn't finish it. The lightning was WAY too loud.

same! that first tune has been stuck in my head ever since playing lol

I just watched a playthrough of your game by Itsamanman and I gotta say I love everything about the game. The music, the artwork, the whole vibe is just so cozy and cute. By the end I was left with a feeling of "dang, this is what an actual good game is like" lol, you guys are inspiring.

It's just been you so far.

1. Beginning explains why you are there and who you are and what you will experience.

2. The left and right side of the house are two corrupted memories like it said you could encounter in the beginning with the white memories afterwards being more story lore. 

3. The last part with the mother ties everything together with what she talks about and then the twist in the end makes the story even more connected.

Seems connected to me unless you didn't read the text in each scene.

 

How is the story not connected?

Nah I should've made it more clear so thank you for letting me know! Also thank you so much! It's the first game I've ever completed after starting many others and never finishing them, I really appreciate it ^_^

Did you by chance press the "Up" key on your keyboard? On the controls screen in the beginning of the game I put "FORWARD" and "BACK" in all caps as a reference as what you need to press when she says those words in caps in the text.

Kinda sucks that you can't pull up a menu or something to check what items you still need to find because I forgot what the guy said within 10 seconds and forgot what items I was supposed to be looking for

Hi! Thanks for replying! I tried your sample project but it wouldn't let me enable the pro verison so I could test out the mouse click action, so I added you on discord so I can send you what it looks like on my end, my discord name is Nya

I bought the pro verison and I put the label in the event for it to trigger the plugin, I am using remote with mouse click but it doesn't trigger the event.
