Announcement - Results! Winners! ~Sleigh the Competition! 2023 Christmas Game Jam

I did watch trihans stream most of the part and did around 20 entries
in total on my own, but there was a few I didn't like, and saw one other
stream that failed my entry (just because I didn't know he used 1 hand
only, something I totally didn't considered to add something for it.

3 buttons at the same time is a bit tricky, so I totally understand him :)

but I think nobody beated my game yet (unless cheated in the latest version).
but I had 2 favorites, and 5 after those that I really liked a lot.

so congrats to all that submitted, played, and beaten every game.
I also learned a thing of 3 out of this jam, to also pay attention for playable
game for disabled peoples with 1 hand.

and I take this one in consideration next time to play it out.

Sorry, I've been swamped with all manner of things, but I'm finishing these submissions today.

Hey everyone medals should all be out, if you don't have yours, please PM me, thanks!

Happy New Year, everyone! ~You are now a decorated forum members!~

I'm still down to give feedback to anyone who wants it. I just had to do my "post holiday vegetation." You know...where you pretend to be a plant because you've been so busy?

I would love to hear your feedback, please!

I would also love to hear your feedback, please!

And thank you for the badges, Touchfuzzy and HiddenOne! They're adorable!

@Trihan


@TeiRaven

Might i trouble you for some feedback too? (I know mine was a mess hahaha)

Same here! I never get to here feedback from the Fish!

Eh, might as well as for the feedback(Since I probably need it). Assuming the offer still stands, of course.

Haha! I'll get to work. I'll ping you guys when I'm ready. Right now I need to eat this bowl of probably non-approved by Dalph pasta.

Thank you for your feedback, @Ms Littlefish ! Audio is, next to programming, the part of game design that I know least about, so I did definitely phone it in a bit XD None of them loop, in fact, I ran out of time--and bells would actually not have been my first choice, but that artist had all the songs I wanted and I decided to go for consistency first and replace them if I found something more on the order of "Old English."

Rosie's art was done by my friend ClockworkCrane! I won't link her pages on account of the rules, but you can find her on Twitter, or whatever it's called these days.

I am  very curious if you made it to the end--my testers never got hung up, but quite a few people who played after it was submitted did. Did you see the end cutscene and credits roll? I know Testosterone, HiddenOne, and bgillisp all hit the glitch.

I would love to hear your feedback as well, @Ms Littlefish . But don't feel pressured. I appreciate all the time that the judges have already invested.

Oooh sheeeeet. Lemme do it this way. Let's have peeps chime in tonight so I can one shot them in the morning with a piping hot cup of coffee. I underestimated the carb coma I just gave myself and want to sit in front of my fireplace.

@TeiRaven Well...sounds like I must have hit the bug too. Oh noey! That was one curiosity I did have. I thought I had done all the things but couldn't end the game. Was that the glitch?

Thank you so much! The thing with the narration clips is that some were recorded before I properly figured out which part of my condenser mic I should be speaking into, and I didn't have much time left for rerecording them so there is a noticeable quality shift in the ones I was able to record again.

Kytt's been chewing her fingernails to stubs over what people would think of her art, but the overall reception seems pretty positive. This was a new style she was trying and I also think it was cute. With a few more days in the oven to polish it I think she could have knocked it out of the park, but for the time we had and the amount of actual time she had to dedicate in that frame, she should be really proud of what she accomplished, especially as we had completely custom art for the whole thing. :D

I didn't actually check to make sure the music tracks all looped properly, which I really should've done. That's a good point and I'll be sure to pay more attention to that in future jams. :)

I'd actually originally planned at least one more puzzle and five endings (neutral, decent, not great, best and terrible): there was going to be an additional character called Angel Topp and you were supposed to be able to enter both Tim and Miss Teaux's houses, but due to time constraints I scrapped those maps and had to cut down the complexity of the Christmas tree puzzle. What I really wanted to do was make the player have to rotate the pieces into the correct places as well as positioning them, and find a way to randomise the locations they needed to be in, but I ran out of time for figuring out the numbers required to do that and keep it inside the bounds of the tree while also making sure nothing was able to overlap. Maybe for the next update!

If it's not too much trouble, I would put my name in too, I'ld be happy with as much feedback as I can get.

Yup, that was the glitch XD I had bungled something up with the events that check if you'd done all your tasks--Rosie was supposed to comment that she could go home any time, but I guess she wasn't ready to!

I have a new build up on my itchio (with some issues of its own, namely the speed cheat I forgot to take out) but if you don't want to replay (and after 32 entries, I wouldn't blame you in the slightest XD) Trihan's stream included the ending! This timestamp should be right.

@TeiRaven I'm old and I can't remember things sometimes, but did I ever mention how much I like your little ghosts in your signature area? They are very cute!

Streaming Finished. I'll post the YouTube video later. Hope my insight helped out.

Yessss! The badge is super cuuuute thank youuuu <3 ^_^ And yes @Ms Littlefish I would also love to hear feedback thank you so much! <3
