Game Jam 5: Pretty Simple [Complete!]

[filmote (Simon)]

If that was the boot loaded sequence, I would have left it in my games!

okay since we’re sharing hexes. here’s a peek at what I’m working on. Hopefully I don’t jinx it.

A partial animation to see if my idea looks visually okay to me. No game logic. Just something to watch.

Fantastic! You need graphics of Veruca Salt - ‘she was a bad egg!’

If that was the boot loaded sequence, you would have a lot less program space for your games

[filmote (Simon)]

So true!   

[bateske (Kevin)]

Thank you so much for that image @jhhoward you’re gonna see that all over the place now! Hahaha

@Mr.Blinky Nice! I’m envisioning really cool explosions when you miss one

[bateske (Kevin)]

@jhhoward are you going to add more features to your game? Like the buttons controlling different parameters? Maybe the arrow keys can have a wind effect??

UPDATE: and have it play e1m1 song.

I finally got my game’s menu kinda done. Lots of graphical assets to make a simple and ancient concept pretty. I wanna post some screenshots, soon. Here are the characrers for the game, though: (Maybe you recognize some of them)

[filmote (Simon)]

Looks fantastic. I sure recognise the chicken and cowboy from your other games! The dinosaur looks like the one from the Chrome browser game,.

@crait

All I’m seeing is a tile matching game or columns type game where a circuit dude match will clear the screen in an explosion

Ohh, that sounds fun. It’s based off of Crazy Bones, so the gameplay will kinda be like Chicken Launcher.

I made my fire demo into more of a game and is now an entry into the jam:

Firebox - Game Jam 5 Entry

Firebox is my entry to the Arduboy Game Jam 5. It’s like a sandbox, only with fire! Experiment with setting various things on fire Controls: Hold A to increase fire Up + down arrows choose different objects to drop Left + right arrows move the object to drop B drops the object Source code and HEX release can be found on Github here: Firebox.hex

@bateske, if you want particles, here’s a 2 year old really simple demo that I forgot about :P

[bateske (Kevin)]

I said starfields don’t count!

@bateske

(it has to have some kind of dynamic quality to it, parallax star fields and similar do not count)

[crait (Holmes)]

Here’s a preview for me:

Lots of work to do, still.

[Pharap]

You said “paralllax star fields”.
This isn’t a parallax star field (though I do have one of those too), this is a proper particle system.

Particles are emitted from the centre of the screen and each particle is given a velocity which is constrained to an angle that is a multiple of 1/32 of a circle (e.g. a multiple of 11.25 degrees).

[bateske (Kevin)]

Ok fine you win the whole company now you have to ship everyone Arduboys, surprise this was willy wonka all along.

[Pharap]

If that’s the case then you also owe me a trip into space first. :P

(though I do have one of those too)

Note: I forgot, this doesn’t actually have parallax, it’s just a load of stars being drawn as a background.
That’s easily fixed though.

[Spartanfox (Person)]

I actually have an idea for a game with particle physics, I hope I can make it in time I’m a little late. Not to mention I haven’t made an arduboy game in like two years I’m basically starting fresh

[filmote (Simon)]

Its like riding a bike - you never forget.
