Working on a branching narrative

3 factions, all different extremes of activism

Game theme : Is the mission worth the price?

I made a gamejam game all about fighting

Now I just copy n paste that code into my other games

Easy Night

But the writers needed to make her EVIL so she does this...

Lessons for story writers: Don't create good set ups and then randomly ruin them

At most, I could allow for the Keep AND surrounding areas to be burned to ensure Cersie is gone

But this is just stupid..

ALL Daenerys had to do was burn the keep, ultimately killing Cersie and those around the keep

And then argue her case

"She put them in danger, she was the danger, I had to do this"

You still get the moral arguments GOT is known for

Instead of burning the Keep, and maybe killing those around it...

She zig zags around burning everything BUT the keep
Which eventually allows Cersie to escape..

This is utterly nonsensical
They created the set up, it was good, and then do this?

This scene makes no sense to me

Because it was so close to being perfect

The premise : Daenerys wants to kill Cersie

Cersie has basically created a human shield so if Daenerys kills her then she's turned against

So what does Daenerys do...

Ralph meets the Homeless King (and fights one of his underlings)

Onto level 3 of the game now, I think players will enjoy this story quite a lot

All about chasing goals and the price of success (and failure)

The best games make you think like your character

It's something I want to replicate in my games

Deep dialogue systems that get you thinking about your own life

This chat is about Utilitarianism vs Deontology

Memes are versatile pieces of content

They can act as second posts for the day, or even as growth leaders

I've grown several meme pages and here's my ebook on how to make them (4.99)

Jab, punch, and block your way through a fist fight with a TV

I wanted to improve my fighting AI, so used this jam to learn

Did you win?

Now for a fun night of getting fight AI to work

Only a few steps away tbf, guy attacks when in range

Just need to add some strategy

#gamingai #gamedev #indiegamedev

Jambuckett @jambuckett.bsky.social · 4d

Here’s 2 TVs having a fist fight

AI coding is not my strong suit 😅 (hoping to change that during this jam 💪🏻)

You ever seen a TV throw an overhand?

You have now

For a gamejam 😉

When you're up all night getting platformer mechanics to work perfectly

I love this life

#gamedev #indiegamedev #gamedevlife #platformergames #pcgaming

Jambuckett @jambuckett.bsky.social · 4d

They say every game dev makes a platformer at some point

I guess now it's my turn 😂

Super excited for tonight

My first ever gamejam was their summer one, since then I've entered several more and even made a few small personal projects

Aiming to beat rank 138 this time 💪

If I've learned anything about game dev...

Making games, even gamejam projects, is a million tiny things

Over and over again

It's a long process

#gamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart #pixelartgame

Jambuckett @jambuckett.bsky.social · 6d

Working on some pixel art

For a sideways perspective, I think that's pretty good

What do you think?

Looking back through my first game, Disruptive Dave, the code was a mess 😅

5 of these are me trying to make the scream effect other people...only 1 is used...

Gonna just restart this project instead of try to untangle this 😅

#gamedev #indiegamedev #gamedevjourney

Jambuckett @jambuckett.bsky.social · 6d

Love being told about bugs 😅

Turns out, if you've already beat the game, and then go back to the menu, it dosen't turn off the "Player Locked" mechanic...

Silly error that

#gamedev #indiegamedev #gamedevbugs #gamejamgame

Jambuckett @jambuckett.bsky.social · 7d

I think this ideas has legs

Make a couple of different game "modes / minigames" and I could likely sell this for £2.99

Exciting times ahead

It always feels amazing to read peoples feedback on your projects

#gamedev #indiegamedev #gamejam

Jambuckett @jambuckett.bsky.social · 8d

People will make these games, journalists will talk about them, everyone will jump on them, everyone will be all over this

This is just the way the internet is

But it'll only last 6 months max

People will get bored of it

What do you think?

Now the AI games won't be very good, there's a million tiny details that you need to do that AI won't be able to manage

But the doors will be open, and A LOT of people will jump on and create the funniest things they can think of

And everyone will be jumping on it
