MAGS November “Worlds Collide” (VOTING til Dec 20)

tbook · Mon 20/11/2023 13:33:14

We're cooking something.
Going well, I hope we will manage in the 10 days left.
I would say we're half way through, but the story is ready, art is almost ready, music half way through...
As an appetiser I will only say that for this game the world of the living will colide with the world of the dead...

Kastchey · Thu 23/11/2023 12:15:06

I started late, but the theme is too inspiring to pass on...

Not sure if I will get anything playable ready by the end of the month, let alone finish the game, but we'll see.

We can all do it! I believe in us! I'm in my holiday coding binge as we speak!

Nice, congrats!

I hate to ask, but could we please extend one extra day to Friday? I'm so close but only have a little time to code the next few nights, but then I have all Friday off and can submit it Friday night.

No worries. Friday it is.

I could use the extra day too, thank you kindly for the extension!

The Great Underground Empire · Tue 28/11/2023 16:33:14

Thanks very much!

It wasn't just killing me that I'd have to abandon music and sound, I was down to "will I have to abandon a couple of these puzzles just to finish in time", lol.

Like always, almost late, but got it!

It turned out a little bit bigger than we planned, we hope to come back to add puzzles and fixes.
Hope you like it guys. Have a good one

I just updated myself about the time extension!
Damn, now I feel I could work some more, haha!

The Great Underground Empire · Fri 01/12/2023 21:13:45

Hey all! I promise I'm still plugging away. I should be done by 10PM EST at the very latest, so unless some crisis happens, I'll be posting the game within the next 6 hours! Thanks again for the extra time!

Kastchey · Fri 01/12/2023 22:26:29

I'm hoping to be able to do the same. Super tired and struggling for time, but hey, got plenty of coffee!

Kastchey · Sat 02/12/2023 01:28:53

Not super happy with how it turned out, but better a half-finished, unpolished entry than no entry right?

Dreamscape: Silent Serenade
Download here (v.1.1)

In a dystopian world where dreams are shackled in service of an eldritch cosmic god, a small group of rogue dreamshifters are fighting for their right to self-determine.

Content warning: mature language (mild).

Download here (v.1.1)

Edit:
v.1.1: Fixed the bug with the game crashing after you entered certain rooms near the end of the game

The Great Underground Empire · Sat 02/12/2023 01:37:03

PHEW, missed the deadline by about an hour but congrats to everyone that finished on time!!!

You all rock!

My entry is:

WORLDS LITERALLY COLLIDE

You are a planet who found his own little patch of space and just wants some PEACE and QUIET!

Unfortunately, loud and annoying jerks are invading your quadrant. Find them and get rid of them any way you can.

Content Warning: Some light comedic swearing, comedic violence, and suggestive sexual dialogue between astral bodies.

Note: There is no sound or music because you can't hear those things in space, guy. You can't. Planets can. It makes sense. (Also I ran out of time.)

Controls:

- Right click to change cursors.

- Left click to fly/look/interact/talk or COLLIDE! (And space is vast. Click WASD's to start moving, click again to stop.)

- (Collide looks like two tiny planets smashing together.)

- Right click or ESC to skip cutscenes.

- TAB for Inventory, F5 to save, F7 to load, F9 to restart, CTRL + Q to quit.

Enjoy!

Nice! 4 MAGS entries is more than we've had at once all year, I think! I look forward to trying them all out!

Stupot · Sat 02/12/2023 16:30:51

Well done on getting your entries in, everyone. They look great. I'm a bit poorly at the moment but will rig up the voting very soon.

jwalt · Sat 02/12/2023 17:27:31

Trying to play through the entries but encountered problems. One may be me needing a nudge. The other, I'm not sure what is happening.

Nudge needed for Worlds Literally Collide:

Spoiler

Got to the star babies, but nothing seems to be happening. Have run searches over the background but doesn't seem to help. Hint, perhaps?

[close]

Get a total system lock up on Dreamscape.

Spoiler

Went past the grate, using the crowbar. Entered the sleeper's room. Can't seem to get out of the room, and movement toward the left side gives me the "clock" and locks up. Haven't been through the hole in the wall on the other side of the alley. Not sure of cause, but my system can't seem to handle it. Had to do a system restart.

[close]

The other game, The Play of LIfe, ran without any problems. Loving the backgrounds for all these games!

The Great Underground Empire · Sat 02/12/2023 17:36:33

Thanks jwalt! Making sure I understand:

Spoiler

The star babies came out but nothing happened, like they're frozen and you can't interact with them? If you mean you can't figure out what to do next, then my hint is that I just suddenly realized I didn't say in the instructions that TAB would open the inventory, doh!

[close]

That TAB fixed it, for me. Thanks. Enjoyable game!

The Great Underground Empire · Sat 02/12/2023 19:20:39

Phew, thank you! 😅 I finished it around 1AM my time and was worried I missed some gamebreaking bug in my half awake brain. 😄

Regarding the lock up, it did it twice, but the third attempt all went well, apparently. Appears to be a user issue, rather than a bug.
