Hehe... so I wildly misinterpreted the amount of work I have to do today. We're going to be lucky to finish and not have the game crashing in the first few minutes :)

Hey guys finished up our game:

Also who finished your games, post them in Austin's thread about submissions :)

Well, our programmer has mysteriously gone offline for the past 2 hours right when we were about to finish the game so I don't know what's going on there. I Guess Team Peppermint won't be making the deadline for this one...

Wow, that really stinks :\

Well, we're done. Lots of untested stuff, but I think I'm going to leave the rest of the work for later. Anyone think they did a good job?

i think we could have done better, if we had just one more day we could have made what we have much better we had so many roadblocks and obstacles to go around to submit the game even as it now, because of communication issues, theres stuff that needs severe fixing.
im hoping theres going to be a few bearbounds (in terms of completion and success) in this jam.
well done to everyone that submitted!

Man the amount of bugs I'm coming across after submitting the thing!

Response to Unofficial Game Jam 3 Talk thread 2011-02-21 01:21:10


By the way, is there any rule on updating the file after submission to fix bugs?
Since there was 2 glaring ones after submission I had to go fix them, there's about 1000 more though!

Congratulations on winning the game jam.


You can solve pretty much any problem you may have with AS3 by consulting the AS3 Language reference.

Congratulations on winning the game jam.

If and only if the winners are based on submission score. Going by the last Game Jam, I'd say any of the games have a good chance of winning. Personally, I'd pick a game like:
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1232 463
Over Glaiel's just because it fit the given theme perfectly, and the concept is fairly interesting (has a lot of room for further development and tweaking).

Sure, Glaiel's game was very well made, polished and fun, but it felt like the theme was built around the game to me. And, even though very well made, it's a vertical shooter with a formation mechanic that honestly didn't do much and felt gimmicky. Instead, I think it would have been better to have a not-so-polished game built around the formation mechanic.

My two cents.

Well I posted when it was still under judgment, no idea what score it would receive. I played all the games submitted in the other thread and that game was simply in its own league. Some of the submissions (not going to name any) were pretty bad and contained critical bugs and felt like the creators didn't really bother to test their game. I'm sure many would defend themselves saying "its only 72 hours", but you can always spare 5 minutes to play through your game.

IT WAS HARD !
WE WORKED A LOT, AND I DID SO MUCH ART AND IT WAS KIND OF ANNOYING JOB.
drawing all the time those buggs.
Problem was that we made this game in just one day, but ok we used graphics wich we made before, but those graphics were made for platformer, so we made defense game, we changed many things, and that day I felt bad because I have been working three days and I cannot think normally anymore.

Yeah, me and Xelu got that at the last Jam with Mechanical Ice Apocalypse. The people that only browse the front page expect your work to be of a much higher quality, and start raging at you when it isn't at that level. Do yourself a favor and edit in 'This game was made in 72 hours for the game jam' into your title screen or preloader. That fends off most of them.
