[Welcome to Wizard Jam 4!]

Hi everyone! Glad to be back for this jam. Our team Made Call of the Winter Monarch for Winter Wizard Jam. Looking forward to what gets made today!

Is the title an Immortal reference?

 

I don't think so, but to be honest the title was not my decision.

@osmosisch Wow, I thought you were joking about the t-shirt. It's late now, but I can throw something up on Society 6 tomorrow.

Thank you! Got it.

Lovely stuff! Only other thing would be to edit the title in the original post to indicate RELEASED... congrats!

 

How do I do that? I see how to edit individual posts, but not the thread title.

 

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll get the title of the game up, too.

Aaaaaand we're done. Up on Itch and all that jazz. Anything else we need to do to make the submission official?

We've hat that wow-only-three-days-left panic. Still to be implemented is shop, inventory, and animations.

 

HUD design is still up in the air. We'll get it done! Somehow.

Things have taken a turn for the silly here on Team Ranch BLT. Certainly one week into a game jam.

You can do this!

More characters join the adventure. Thinking of dropping the purple for orange to meet the "focused pallet" goal. Still have a bit more time to make stylistic decisions.

Is it too late to submit sound? If not, when is your music submission deadline?

[[Dev Log] The Sorcerer's Egress]

This game sounds like a lot of fun.

My team is making a tile based puzzle game with hopes of mobile compatibility. We'll see where two weeks takes us. Tentatively the object of our game is safely guide arctic animals to the goal. 

 

We are team Ranch BLT. We're comprised of four programmers and an artist. This is our first Wizard Jam. Joining a new community is exciting. I look forward to watching everyone's games develop. 

 

I am the aforementioned artist on the team. My dev updates will be mostly comprised of art made for the game. The animals, items, and backgrounds will be scanned watercolor and ink paintings on paper. I'll be taking the "focused pallet" diversifier into consideration when making design choices. Initially the animals were going to be realistic, but I've decided to lean adorable to honor the "It's a Baby Game" diversifier. However, the puzzles will probably be challenging enough for adults.

 

All diversifiers I've taken into consideration alter the aesthetic, not game play. We'll see what the programmers decide to incorporate. This is a work in progress with much game design still to be done. I'll keep you updated using this thread.

Sounds emotionally powerful. I look forward to playing it.

Team Ranch BLT is in!

 

Is there an official way to sign up? Will all the games be hosted in the same place at the end of it?
