Yeah, the Morale system (which will go up when you find records and down when you don't, and if it drops too low it's game over) is not in place yet.  I got hung up when I was trying to make the NPCs.

That's great!  I thought that Enya's Neurolink made her so much more useful than Red that there was barely any point in using him anymore once you get her, but this will definitely help balance them.

Fifteen minutes to go!  I'm a little nervous for some reason. Is my hair all right?

I'm going to be streaming my gamedev adventures on this jam.  If you're taking a break from your own jam project, you can come watch me stumble through the pitfalls of being a solo dev.

Say hi!  Distract me from the jam! Make silly requests!  Ask me to name one of the monsters in my game "GRUMBAR THE GRUMBVINCIBLE" (ha, joke's on you, I'm already going to use that name)!  Let me entertain you to reduce your stress and increase mine!

I'll be starting my stream fifteen minutes before the Game Jam actually starts, so we'll learn the Jam Theme together!

On Twitch at https://gtlk.link/TTQGU7vg , or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@GreatUnclePixel

See you there!

Man, I used a lot of exclamation points...

And finally...

This was a lot of fun!  Starting Friday, I'm off to my next Game Jam - the Wild Jam #99.  If you still want me to play and stream your game, reply here, and I'll do it!

That is *awesome*!

Fourth stream just finished, will require some editing to post.  (Some of the games actually crashed the stream)

So keep an eye out for that tomorrow! 

Game seems nice, but it's also quite laggy on my less-than-a-year-old computer.   Looking forward to more optimization, mainly.

Relaaaaaaaaaxing.  Ran into a weird collision-box issue in that the digging tool would often completely ignore the tile right below you if there were tiles to the bottom-left and bottom-right of you, or is that intended?  The music kept jumpscaring me the way it stopped and started again unexpectedly.  But I feel like I could just mindlessly play this for hours.

That was certainly... a game.

Kinda fun in short doses.  Kinda unclear what to do at first.  Gotta fix that picture of the two crabs fighting, one with three claws.  Music gets a little irritating very quickly.

Zero devblogs over the period of the Continue Your Game jam, so no points there, I'm afraid.

You saw it on the stream. :D :D :D

(I'll link you to the VoD when it's done and timestamped and all)

The battle theme, that is.  It's driving me crazy.  It's so catchy, but I can't find it anywhere, not even its name.

Third stream!

Thanks!  I saw your game on the list, and I'll be getting to it on my next stream :)

If you want to watch the video of me playing your game, it's here (starting at 2:57:15 if it doesn't start there automatically): 

You can watch me playing your game here (starting at 2:50:43 if it doesn't start there automatically).  Admittedly, I didn't play it very long:

I played your game on my stream yesterday.  I  still have the battle theme stuck in my head. The VoD is here (starting at 2:10:00 if the video doesn't start there automatically):

Here's the video (1:36:40 if it doesn't start there)!

My first thought was that I don't know if the characters are supposed to be colored in, but the stark white outlines are a great art style, so I hope not.  Makes everything look like pages from a book.

I ran into a bug - I died from the Spectre, but I couldn't go back to the main menu, the game just continued on in the background, faded.  I could pull up the inventory screen, but I couldn't continue the game.

Another game from this game jam I'm looking forward to seeing more of.

Don't have much to say, really.  This is mainly a tech demo. :D

Oh, I wish there was more to this.  Really liked it. I'm looking forward to seeing the full game.

Was there no place to heal/restore MP, or did I just not find it?  (Also, the third story is only available *before* recruiting  Sophia; after you get back from the Ghost story with Sophia in tow, the other girl only offers the Lost Cat and Ghost stories)

And I have to ask: what is the battle theme?   I have it playing as I type this.  But I can't find any matches for the lyrics on Google (or Duck Duck Go).  Is it an original song for this game? 

I replayed it today, and Level 3 is hard as hell, but I persevered and beat it! (Most of my issues were with the second and third rooms - the collision detection seemed a little unforgiving and the character tends to "skid" ... right into the obstacles)  *Loved* the new boss fight, though.  I was hoping there'd be another one behind the Big Door, but alas, it was just the ending.

(Once again, I streamed it, and I'll give you the timestamp tomorrow after I edit the video) :D

Really impressed by the Devblog.  I haven't even tried the game yet, which I'm about to do, but it looks like the kind of game I enjoy.  Will edit this after I play it. :D

Edit: Yeah, I liked it.  I wasn't entirely sure how to see the whole city, though.  It kept moving me from neighborhood to neighborhood, and I couldn't figure out how to lay down roads to connect them... or even to pan the screen to *see* the previous neighborhoods.

Woo.  Not my preferred genre of game, so I died a *lot*.  I mean, a lot a lot.  Okay, twice.  BUT IT FELT LIKE MORE.

I liked reading about the game's development, though the devblogs abruptly stopped a couple of weeks ago. 

Devblogs started off strong, but then petered out quickly.  (And since the CYG Jam is looking at those devblogs, I can't really say too much about it)

I can't really say much about the game, either, since the version on the page hasn't been updated in over a month, and doesn't even have wall collision yet.  I'd like to see a newer build.

Sorry, no stream today.  I'll continue on Monday.  See you then!

Second stream done!

If you want to watch me playing your game and commenting on it as I go, I have a VoD here (starting at 2:30:30 if it doesn't automatically start there): 

My VoD is up, incidentally, and I play the game at 2:05:40 (if it doesn't start there automatically):

Incidentally, if you want to watch me playing the game and commenting on it as I go, the video is here (starting at 1:27:48 if it doesn't start there):

A Dell laptop running Windows 11.  Just got it in December, so, while it's not the highest-of-high-end gaming machines, it's not old.

Incidentally, if you want to watch me playing and commenting on your game, it's here (at 34:50 if it doesn't start there):

I think mostly in the tutorial, but also on the page itself ("cann't" and "fases", for example)

If you want to watch me playing and commenting your game, it's here (starting at 1:05 if it doesn't start there automatically):

Incidentally, you can watch me playing the game here (at 3:04:46 if it doesn't jump there directly):

I couldn't seem to get the waves to start.  The farms were all generating gold, but no enemies were appearing.  I just kept putting down buildings and waiting for something to happen. I restarted the game and even reloaded the page multiple times to see if it was me, but the same thing kept happening.  Too bad, because the game looks exactly like the sort of game I could get lost in for days.  I'll check back later.

(Also, for the CYG-14, there were no devblogs, so unfortunately I can't rate you too high in that jam)
