  1. Took a bit longer than I was expecting but the game is out now.

    I think Frog Fractions ended up as a major influence. I was also playing Getting Over It recently so the concept of a B-game was in my head. I feel like I have a strange idea of humor and may come off as very random. I don't want to spoil too much about the game, but I feel pretty good about the amount of content I was able to put in, but of course I still wanted to add more and expand. I don't think I will be adding anything soon, maybe if there's a sequel.

     

    Thanks for playing!

  2. Here are some other let's plays of wizard jam games.

    There are a lot more cheating hitmen. Just search YouTube for Cheatin Hitman.

     

    Randomize User plays Explode Mode, Cheatin Hitman and Mid-Jam Power Move.

  3. I beat Bully on iOS. I really liked it. It has virtual buttons like the GTA ones, so not optimal controls, but it has auto targeting so it wasn't too hard for me to control. However, I am really good with virtual buttons. 😛

    It does feel like this port is better than the GTA ones, controls are a bit more smoothed out, load times and saving the game are almost instant etc.


  4. So i tried out catacombs of Solaris, and I'm not sure what's going on. It's pretty cool though. Those colors definitely imprinted into my brain for a while.

    So I figured out that you can wiggle your way into walls almost, and the tunnels inside the walls just follow the pattern of that warped wall/what you see. This can lead to really bizzare patterns or even just a single colored room if you go deep enough. I'm not sure if this is what causes the weird thing Chris was talking about to happen. At first I thought maybe turning around really fast was what made the thing happen, (all the walls look sort of like their bending in), but maybe I was just walking into a wall backwards.


  5. Yeah, timing and deadlines are hard to do. People are busy with their lives.

    I do think there is a strange pressure, at least for me, to do something a bit bigger than an ordinary jam game because there are two weeks. I feel like there is a lot I can do in two weeks and then when I don't, I feel slightly discouraged.


  6. Maybe there could be some awards next time? I know we want to keep it open and friendly, but some small awards to really praise high quality games and good concepts could be nice. Also, a bit more emphasis on feedback after the jam would be cool and really encouraging. 

    On jam deadlines, I think maybe there should be two categories of games, one for games people just want to tinker with for a weeks or months, and one that is a more jamlike experience. (Maybe even less than two weeks) This could be like Ludum Dare with two different levels of jamming. (I propose the casual one be called the baby wizard Jam)

    Dot Gobbler- not too much Dot Gobbler, but not enough creativity with the Dot Gobbler. Just slapping Dot Gobbler in a game is fine, but making Dot Gobbler actually mean something is the goal.

    Good stuff! Packed full of interactables and little red herrings, plus some Dot Gobbler goodness, and I enjoyed the 'ending'.

     

     

      Reveal hidden contents

    I managed to boil the water and wash the cup amongst other things, but I didn't work out how to go outside. It seemed like I found two keys but only one showed up in my inventory and didn't work - not sure if that's bug.

     

    Thanks for playing!

    The key thing isn't a bug, I was just lazy and didn't want to make two key objects. And I think it's kinda funny and adds to the confusion. And you can't go outside. It doesn't exist. Rilen didn't go outside he just thought he did. 😛
