Event - Spooky Month Game Jam! 2024

Now the game works, thanks! I didn't expect that ending, @Jokokit123 hehe

I wouldn’t exactly recommend stopping it just because it’s annoying TBH…:kaoback:

Unless you have some third party AV installed of course…

virusscanner, firewall, and all malware stopper so I'm good that way.
never fan of window defender as it stops software from running by removing
stuff that requires it as it sees it as malware as it is clean, so I got rid of it.

microsoft edge too as they put alot of crap that cause trouble as they want control.
I keep my system good so download always work without trouble that way.

TO OTHERS:
I test some quick Jams as some are really nice (call no names),
may the best one win :)

Now that submissions are closed, we can start judging.
Congrats everyone! Even just participating is a challenge.

I am looking forward to playing your games!

I didn't make the deadline, unfortunately. Also because somehow I had no idea this would even be a thing until the submission thread opened.

Well, trying to get the deadline I did make a game half/way, but missing the deadline means I am straight back to my main projects (yeah, plural. I got 2 now: My football manager and my card game, I consider them both equally potential and work as much on one as I do on the other. And both will see a finish line. Some say their project is their baby... Well, I got myself twins, even though they don't look alike, at all.)

Unfortunately this means this little project will join the idea-graveyard with all the other half/way projects.

For the other entrees: I'll check them soon, but unfortunately I won't even make that before halloween. So no votes from me, either. May the best entree win. (It's a competition, right? Are we even allowed to vote? I didn't even pay attention to that part of the rules. I just wanted the badge, and this time earn it. Last Christmas I just made something stupid. I didn't care, I just wanted the badge.)

No, there's no community vote this year. However, feel free to share which ones you liked or was your favorite.

I'll just post this here. In case anyone (especially the judges...) having trouble with the spider part in NectaReal, this is the walkthrough:

Ah, okay.

I skipped that part of the rules. If my game met the requirements, that was all I cared about. :p

Updated my entry, Ghost Puncher, to fix a couple small issues and make it a little easier to beat.
Here's the link to version 2!

As soon as I finish moving and getting settled into my new place, I'm going to stream all the entries! No idea if that will be before or after they are judged.

Wooooooooooooould you….be bummed. If. I. Post results tomorrow?

Everything is pretty much ready to go, but I’m sick AF.

I feel like it’d be kinda whomp whomp if I’m all “eeeeeeeh, here you go” and then take a 10-year nap before I get prizes and badges arranged.

Or. OR. I could sleep my heart out and be locked in tomorrow. XD

Need a hug react for @Ms Littlefish.

I was already expecting results to come tomorrow due to time zone stuff. So nothing’s changed from my perspective.

Get better soon.

First thing, congratulations to everyone who entered! Making a game in a month is a major challenge, so be proud that you finished something!

All participants have earned the Haunted House badge!
Oooh, spooky~

But I know y'all are here for the winners, so let's get to it!

Third Place: Midnight Central by @Rubescen
Nothing spookier than needing to get home and realizing you can't afford a ticket. They get the Marsha(?) badge!


Second Place: Nelly Come Back by @alice_gristle
A short maze game that gave us some fun challenge to avoid the spooky foes. They get the Harold(?) badge!


First Place: Tuckamore Eve by @BobbyLily
This game gave us some good spooks and really built up the tension while exploring the haunted house. They get the Reid(?) badge!


The badges will go out this week, we just need to wait on admin powers to get them working. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, please contact @Ms Littlefish through PMs sometime this week to receive your DLC reward and she'll get on that as soon as the spirits free her. :rwink:

Not to be dramatic, my @hiddenone saved me.

We have plenty of feedback and full results too! @TRIDIUM and @hiddenone can share what they have whenever they’re ready. I intend to post feedback for everyone when I’m less dead.

Thanks for hosting this jam! I had a lot of fun making my little entry!

Congrats to @alice_gristle and @BobbyLily , both of your games were gems! I'm honored for third, considering how impressive all of the entries were (I'm hoping to get out a video of some initial reactions/feedback for everything I was able to run through soontm).

Hope y'all feel better soon!

Well, first off, please take good care of yourself @MsLittlefish! And get better soon!

Thank you @hiddenone for posting the results. I was trapped in the evil clutches of a closing shift.

Congrats to the winners (and all who entered, that's a feat on it's own)! I thoroughly enjoyed playing and judging your entries. I will be posting feedback on all the games in a few minutes.

And lastly, thank you to everyone who participated or helped in one way or another. This was really fun XD.

Good work everyone! And congratulations to the winners!

Can't wait for the badge, they all look cool :kaoluv:

Congratulations to the winners, a job well done that you can be proud of.

And well done too, to all the participants who had to fight until the last minute to submit their game. Let's be happy to receive these magnificent badges.

Yay! The badge is mine! Thanks @Ms Littlefish , @TRIDIUM and @hiddenone for setting this up, and thanks everyone for participating! It was a busy and fun month. Congrats to @BobbyLily , @alice_gristle and @Rubescen !!!!
