Y'ALL I'M SUPER CLOSE TO WINNING MY FIRST GAME JAM

hey y'all!! I'm participating in a game making competition and my game is currently ranked #117 out of 7,690 games. the top 100 games win so I just need a little push!! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2024/rate/2914608 you have to play through & rate a queue of other games first before you can rate mine but we're so close! please help us out if you're able!!

As someone who has watched @janmisali's "how many Super Mario games are there" video several times and is eagerly awaiting the sequel (don't worry, I filled out the new survey already), I noticed something interesting in the beginning of GMTK's newest video. During the intro, he says he's played "... every single mainline entry in the Super Mario Brothers series". Naturally, my first reaction was to figure out what exact list of games that is. During this scene (mostly as a gag), he's set up a stack of games on the side. From bottom to top, they are:

Super Mario 3D World New Super Mario Bros U Super Mario Galaxy 2 New Super Mario Bros Wii Super Mario Sunshine Super Mario Galaxy New Super Mario Bros New Super Mario Bros 2 Super Mario 3D Land Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS Super Mario 3D All-Stars Super Mario Maker 2 Super Mario Odyssey Super Mario Maker Super Mario Bros Super Mario 64 Super Mario Bros 2 (aka "USA") Super Mario Bros 3 Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins 2 Unidentifiable SNES/Super Famicom cartriges Super Mario Land

This is mostly similar to the "popular" 18-game list in the jan Misali video, with a couple differences. GMTK does include all 3 Maker games, which is completely fine since it's consistent.

While making this list I learned that the European SNES used the same design as the Super Famicom. I think this makes it likely that one of the unidentified carts is The Lost Levels, which would make the list otherwise match Misali's. I think the best candidate for the other cart is Yoshi's Island. Both of those appear in the video footage, but I don't know how to confirm either guess.

If someone has Mark Brown's contact and wants to waste his time asking for his justification on the enumeration and classification of the mainline series of games within the Mario franchise, let me know.

He also includes the following games in the video as footage, although seeing as the video also includes a lot of non-Mario games this probably means nothing for GMTK's opinion on what games are part of the mainline series:

Super Mario Bros Wonder Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Super Mario Bros Deluxe Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels New Super Luigi U New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe Super Mario Run

⚖️ I was Audio Lead for Scales of Olympus, a submission to GMTK Game Jam 2024! ⚖️

Scales of Olympus is a tower defense game set on an island in the sky that tilts based on the weight of the towers and enemies on the board. Defend the central tower while trying to keep your towers from sliding off!

I also did sound design and Wwise audio implementation for the game. I'm really proud of how it sounds and I think the audio team, art team, game design team, and programming team all did fantastic work. Please check out our game, we worked really hard on it! -🦦🌙✨

shoutout to anyone doing the GMTK gamejam 2024

List of gaming Youtubers I have been subscribed to for months/years, who I now have to unfollow & select “do not recommend channel” because they confessed (in a video) to using generative ai (to make said video):

1. Game Makers Tool Kit - “Can I fix Zelda’s UI using Unity?”

2. TotalXclipse - “I Used AI To Design The Perfect Factory 1”

Sure hope this list doesn’t grow!!! :)

I participated in a gamejam, again, as visual artist!!! It might not be perfect but I am very proud of my team, they all did wonderful!!! <3

If anyone wanna try it :

It's a puzzle game! A bit difficult from the 3rd level but definetly beeatable!

(The music is a bit laggy on phone but it works perfectly on pc :3 you can turn it off via the options if needed)

i love game jams. they let me spend 12 hours a day pretending to be productive on the shittiest application known to man

[punkerolate]

I was helping my friend and his team on GMTK this year,,, and to be honest, I was really nervous because this was my first jam ever and I didn't wanna disappoint them. (also my first 'serious comission' ever lol)

but it turned out okay ! I had a great team and the leader (my friend) gave us clear instructions. (:

but anyways,, I drew the visuals. (I used infinite painter on my tablet.)

it's called Cake Stacker and like the name suggests,,, it's a stacker game ! wowie !!!

the prompt was 'build to scale' and i'm very grateful for this opportunity and i'm glad i could help.

special thanks to my team and their work, it was fun !!!

(you can find their info in the link !)

Yesterday evening, I played through the wonderful little game Mind over Magnet, by Game Maker's Toolkit! A charming little game about—you'd never guess—magnets, and using them to escape a factory as a little robot. Not as Ica, though—the protagonist in the game has, among other things, a funky little wheel. I ended up finishing the game in under two hours, but they were remarkably brain-teasing, and I had to hop in and out of play sessions to refresh my brain at two points. I even streamed the first third-or-so to my friends on Discord! (Who I may have—nay, definitely aggravated with how I can miss the obvious sometimes. Note to self, don't stream puzzle games in the future.) I'll happily recommend it to anyone who wants a nice puzzle experience, and while it would be fun to see more puzzles added to the game, I think it stands well on its own. If you find yourself being dragged towards the "Keep reading" link, it might be that the timelapse has become magnetized.

unity sucks; use godot instead

we spent 9 hours starting this game jam in unity, here's what we learned about the engine:

don't do it

it will do different behaviour with the same code

really don't do it

and heres what we learned about godot in 2 hours:

you can get the thing actually working and more featured in a lot less time

i actually love gdscript

rust support is there but needs work

gdscript makes up for it <3

oh, and we also learned that developers like me shouldn't do art. seriously, we have an artist on the team just focus on the code lexi :p

[lotusprotocol]

(i’ll be posting a devlog about it on its itch.io page)

GMTK Game Jam 2024 Game: Ultra Hyperneutrino Magextomatic Concentrated Matter Beam Gun MK 9

Participated in GMTK's game jam this year, here's my submission. The game is more of a proof of concept than a full game, but I hope you all like it!

Also, I may post more about my next major project sometime soon. I have been working on stuff since finishing Disciples of Varahces.
