    If people had trouble getting their game submitted to the jam page either me or Dinosaursssss should be able to add it. I'm just about to go to bed, so I'll make it happen tomorrow for you SouperMatty.

     

    Thanks a million Spenny, that'd be great.

     

    My game is awful and unfinished but I'd still enjoy seeing it up there! It's my first go at a 'public' game and first real look at Unity. Just a *touch* disappointing to be pipped at the post by a slow upload pipe... It's been emotional :)

     

    Cheers to you, Dinosaursssssss and the rest for organising the event & congrats to all the participants.

     

    In meantime, I'll add the OSX and Linux builds - only Windows there right now.

    Dubna 48K - Beat made of basic wave shapes, sounds like floppy drives, dot matrix printers and an internal speaker jamming out

     

    Hi Patrick, just wanted to thank you - I used "Dubna 48K" in my submission.... which was like 60 seconds too late to be official, ARGHH.

    But still, cheers for providing the resource! I think it worked well in my game - bumped it up from "really crappy" to "really crappy, but nice beats" :)

    Then the day after I bought my replacement car, it wouldn't stop accelerating and I couldn't put it into park or neutral and I couldn't turn it off. So I basically just had to pull the emergency brake, slam on my brake, and skid around the streets of Chicago at 5 miles an hour until the 911 operator I was talking to just told me to drive it into a park and do donuts until the cops could figure out what to do. Eventually it got stuck in the mud and the engine gave out and I was able to turn it off.

     

    Wow, I've seen / done / heard of my fair share of nutty malfunctioning car stuff, but this story is up there. Incredibly dangerous/unlucky situation - if you don't mind my asking, what make/model/condition of car gets simultaneously stuck in gear AND can't be turned off?

     

    Regarding multiplayer and the feeling of not wanting to let down a team: I've found games with higher player counts - eg 64-player Battlefield 4, hundreds in Planetside 2 - to be suitably large/chaotic to where you can improve over time at your own pace without worrying too much about dragging the team down, BUT you still get to feel like you're "helping out the team" when you're doing well. Also helps immeasurably if you have at least one friendly buddy on voice comms in your squad.

     

    Some people might struggle to get into my example games for reasons of subject matter/mechanics but if you're generally into FPSes and want to try multiplayer, I think they're worth a look. Caveat: I haven't played Planetside 2 for quite a while now, not sure what player base is like these days... but at least it's free!

    Cheers for the podcast, good work as always - 3MA is shocking for getting me to buy stuff I might not have bought otherwise! I never played AoM at the time.

    For Australian listeners who are wondering how to get a copy of this game, JB HiFi online has AoM Gold for $14.98 new BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE - it's also part of a "2 for $20" promotion, which includes the also-sometimes-hard-to-track-down Rise of Nations Gold! I just bought the two titles together for $21.98 delivered - seemed a good deal considering their scarcity. If you don't want/need RoN there are plenty of other titles to choose from in the bundle deal.

    Something I'm a little worried about is that RoN is actually out of stock, but I'm hoping against hope that they can dig up a copy just for meeeee... either way, I've still got AoM hopefully coming my way, and was only charged $10 for it thanks to the bundle deal. Will post an update when I hear about RoN.

    Heads up: the JB site is a little bit awful (example: instead of resetting, they send your *actual password* in *plain text* if you request a "forgot my password" email) but at least they're a pretty well known store in Aus.

    LINK FRENZY!
